Well DUH big feller!! Again, enjoy it. The 5D body seems like a toy compared to the 1 series. Its output is anything but toy-like.

Congrats on the new camera, all great shots but the first is my fav.

I thought the 4th one was the greatest. That experssion is priceless. It's like the "Ah, I'm having a heart attack", but then you think, oh wait, no, maybe he's just about to catch a football or soemthing.

Many thank to DoubleNegative, Advocate, JaGWiRE and mrclark321.

It is, after all, about the photographs.

Yep, except for the two boys, the rest are family, my wife and daughter. I love number 4 too....just so you know, though, it's a bit of a crop. I always feel a bit guilty cropping. I don't know why.

Our three year old son is feeling left out so here are two of him from the same shoot. First is a crop.


f/4; 1/3200s; ISO 200.

The 135L? It has to be one of the best Canon makes. And I love its close up abilities. On its own it can give you close to 1:4 magnification. And it works great with some Kenko tubes.

Hey Josh.. it may be my monitor... but your photos look extremely warm to me and I mean beyond the whole sunset effect. Especially the second one. What's your WB set to?

I thought that i am the only on who saw that warm (yellow and redish) effects.

No, he clearly needs to adjust WB. man he has the flagship camera and does not know how to set WB properly? OMG!!! LOL, just kidding mate!!!

Auto white balance on the camera. Shot in RAW. Various settings in RAW converter as I saw fit. The sky was balzing that evening and I'm happy with the results.

Wonderful pics! It seems like your new camera is working very well
