First Shots from the 5D
This was taken on the night when my 5D first arrived. Well over a year ago now but still one of my favourite images and a framed version is available to be purchased at my Launceston studio.
I wandered the streets for a few hours that night taking a lot of images both normal exposures and ones like above on a timer to really see how good the images were from a full frame sensor camera. Compared to what I had used in the past the difference was really outstanding and enough to make me always shoot with full frame equipment where possible.
It's fair to say that using the 5D Mk ll made me save my cents till I had enough to get the 1Ds Mk lll that I now consider my primary camera. The 5D still gets lots of use and its brilliant with a 85mm f1.2 portrait lens attached.
