Hey guys,

I'm not really new, I had an account a while back, but can't remember it LOL.

Either way, I've had the original 5d for almost a year now and its the best purchase I've made. Next to it, imho, the only camera that tops it is the 1ds Mk II

Here's a few photos I took with it:

i like this shot. mind sharing your lighting?

The guy in the picture was walking against wind gust.

Ummm.....interesting idea. I think if you could eliminate the sparklies from the water it might be more powerful. And, that vignette is very distracting. Oh, and maybe a tighter crop. You've got a whole lot of nothing going on in that picture.

thanks tiffany! i was gonna crop, but after i darkened it, i found that it kinda gave the look that they were on top of a city, and the white vignette was trying to give it a dreamy look.

Two from the pits at the track yesterday. I want this car! Second shot at f/1.2, but I'll bet you knew that...

Nice Vette...how much power is that thing puttin' down?

Geno...I'm not arguin' with Tiff. Lovely model, though. Let's see some more.

PS: I gotta stop usin' smilies. They're an addiction. grrr...

Eh, argue away.

Nice Tiffany shot. I like the monochromatic feel (toning down the blue nails I think would enhance that.)

Gotcha. Makes a little more sense to me know. And, I'm kind of biased about vignettes....I don't really care for them so it makes it hard to be objective.

Thanks...I was tryin' to figure out if I should leave 'em (as they were a really bright 'Jaguars' green), or tone 'em down. I'll see how they look even more desaturated.

I don't have a clue...Not even sure what motor is under the 8-71 blower.

I believe it was running in the 8.90 sec. index class in the 1/4 mile.

haven't posted in a while. i'm having sellers remorse and trying to get my gear back in order. hopefully i'll have something new to contribute soon. everyone is posting awesome stuff as usual around here.

Those tires are huuuge, that'll spit anything on its way.

Nice 'Vette!

OK, processed two of the photos and tried Tiff's suggestion of the liquify tool. How'd I do?

Geno:

#1 looks the same to me.

#2 her skin is lovely (fake I"m sure but lovely). Looks like you did a little smoothing on her eyebrows though. And, her ear looks too smooth. And, you lost a little definition in her collarbone. And, maybe you might clone out where her hair shows up under her arm....kind of looks like she's growing a pit beard.

And she looks like she's squinting in a non-asian eye way
