thank you, I used 24-105 exclusively for that day. You cant beat its versatility.

I just bought a new 5D2, and tested the raw files. Whenever I choose raw only mode, i can download the CR2 file to my computer. But when i chose Raw+M, both files become jpeg, anyone know about this issue? I think i made such a dumb mistake to the point where i can't recognize what's wrong with it . I transfer the file with the usb cable, if it's helping.

Lucky you! I've still got about 30 hours to wait.

the shutter count life is only applicable if you shot using the shutter button, you can shoot more if you use a remote control shutter release. So if you want to extend the life of the shutter buy a remote control or use a computer to release the shutter.
I should not worry much about shutter count enjoy your camera.

Umm... not buying it... Maybe that'll extend the life of the shutter button, same as using the shutter button on a grip, but I highly doubt it has any effect on the actual shutter mechanism itself.

Agreed, great photos and lens

What method are you using to make the final edits look the way they do? Obviously they are not just simple edits; are you duplicating layers and changing each drastically or something else non-traditional? Are they simply HDRs with possibly more than 3 exposures?

I always see so many cool final edits of photos and never know how the shooter got them that way from SOOC :/

Guts - Awesome shot and I like the post work!

thegfxman - Nice shots! I especially like the third! Great work.

I just did some photos for my friend's little daughter... It was definitely a change of pace, but let me know what you think!

Thanks wamguy! Excellent photos above of your friend's daughter. Beautiful bokeh in the trees @ f/2.0 and nice poses! I've been wanting to replace my nifty fifty with this lens lately...I just might!

Sigmalux + 5D2 is still a great combo. love it! focus seem good on my copy (the slight unsharpness of the first picture is wanted) both are at f1.4 if I remember corectly.

I had been wanting to try a technique I saw in the above user's Flickr Photostream (freelensing). It reminded me to try (thanks!) it so I finally did!

The thing that bothers me is that I often see photos with a similar effect/look to them without doing this freelense technique...I still wonder how they get it in post processing other than hitting a lucky light flare or something...

SOOC besides grain

^Nice shots Mastermarek, I love the Subie.

Do anything special for the processing or just the usual in LR/PS?

thanx mate!
lets see, I tried to recover as much detail in the highlights as possible. Then I raised contrast to 100%, adjusted black levels and fill. Then adjusted colors. Went crazy here with saturation. lol ^^ Thats just in ACR. Later in CS4 I did curves, levels, sharpening, colors again, crop.

EDIT:
I usually try to expose for the sky. Getting that blue sky later in post looks fake and cheese. Here is my fake blue sky ^^
