gioarmani Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Most of my new digital camera & lighting equipment is in & just from playing around with it, it's better than expected. Only waiting on a few backdrops & reflectors. No, these aren't clear pro pics; just a couple of quick snap-shots with my old camera: I'm excited to get seriously shooting again this weekend. I've got two girls who needs some studio shots & proof sheets for the 2008 Playboy casting call for FL, and then I'm fooling around with my favorite, IR nature photography (weather permitting). I was skeptical about getting a non-SLR Canon to shoot pro again with--as I only shot Nikon & Mamiya (for medium format) in the past--but this piece with all it's accessories (Polarizers, Hoya R72 IR filters, lenses, adapters, etc.) & the ability to record jpeg & RAW simultaneously (not to mention the beauty of post-production in the newest version of PSC3) put out some damn good shots: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Love Canon! I use my 5D more than any other camera for professional apps. Well actually, my XTi backup is really what gets used the most probably--worry free and I'm in love with EF-S 17-55 f2.8 with IS. It smokes my 24-70L. BTW, tell us more about the small softboxes. I was thinking of picking up a G9 to replace my shittty Leica D-Lux 3. The G9 is supposed to be an amazing little thing. Do you know if the ST-E2 wireless transmitter works with the G9?

I believe the wireless does work--it was offered on one website as a flash accessory to the G9. Yeah, unless you're willing to drop $5000 on the real Leica, the Dlux models suck ass. Too much noise in low light & too soft a picture. The lighting I haven't done any shots with yet--and until I see it against flesh in post-production, I won't know if it reflects true white or not. And if she gives me permission to post some pics, I will in the ol' Girls thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hey Gio, my dream is for Canon to make a full-frame sensor P&S camera. I think I am going to add a G9 to the fold. I need a P&S that is not a POS! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
