Here's a quick couple of the "Disgrace" in Edinburgh, first one is at 17mm, second at 24mm:

Taken from different angles/positions (but from about the same distance), but shows the field of view and perspective differences, I think. 17mm is w-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-d-e on a FF!

mhm i think it lacks contrast a bit... tones seem to be quite flat. Curves should fix it? What do you use for B&W conversion?

LOVE THE 5D!

Looks very nice for ISO 1600. And 3200 for last shot....

It sang happy all night long. So did my 400D but the 5D just was in a league of its own.

I so can't wait till June 20th where this camera will get a damn good spanking. Working as a photographer that night at a massive party out in Germany so a quick flight out, snap away and fly back.

I have been trying to reason with myself about the purchase but the more I use it in those conditions, the more I kick myself for not buying it sooner.

Thanks. Appreciate the comments...and there's no way to get 'amazing' photos without shooting...so get out there, take some shots, and post 'em up. I've taken, learned, and somewhat provided lots of advice in the past...and will continue to learn, take, and provide advice as long as is possible. One day at a time....one picture a day.

Ok, i took some photos yesterday of my gutters for stock, but along the way i took this one of the huge Bradford Pear in our yard that i thought was very nice:

Got a vertical of the tree? The contrast works, here, though...with the green and blue. Slightly tighter crop, from the left, makes the tree more dramatic. Just my humble opinion.

Well - i might agree with you that it could be more dramatic, but since i'm targeting this as a "stock" photo, designers like to have plenty of space to put text/copy into for stories/ads etc... so I put that space there on purpose. But thanks for giving your 2 cents!

Go figure...I thought it might be for stock sales...

Oh...and only 2 cents? Bummer.

Converted to water colors...I thought it was fun. Please let me know your thoughts all...I know...it's 'just' flowers.

Heavily modified...

wbm, what are those powdery things? and with the 100 macro you could have gone a lot closer , right? That's not at 1:1 magnification.

That's pollen, the flower exploded with it when I picked it and took it inside. The picture was taken at about 1:1.5

I reduced the contrast to -4 in DPP to get some texture in the sky. If I was to play about with these pictures a bit more, I'd use curves in CS2 instead to try to preserve more contrast in the darker parts of the picture. I converted to B/W in DPP with a red filter, then converted to a duotone and tritone respectively in CS2.

and another lol
