-= 7D Post Pictures Here

^---Those first two look like they were photoshopped onto the background :P

Great shots though!

Here are two shots from my 7D at the two extreme ISOs, 100 of our backyard and 12800 of my daughter getting downright mean! I am still working on the technique of cleaning up 6400 and 12800, and I think I have some pretty good steps identified at this time, but it involves working on each color channel independently.

The backyard shot is very nice.....great colors.

AI Servo Tracking mode F/4 1/1600 ISO 200
24-105

Here are three cropped pictures from 58 shot burst. Stopped at park on the way home from picking up my mom at airport. This a plane landing at Reagan National .

I was tracking plane from distance

Few more shots..

Full frame: with only center AF point.

100% Crop

Those look nice but I see the center AF point is on the body not the head. Which lens and at f?. Just curious because the focus looks nice. I was just wondering if these were stopped down and to what f?

If you get a chance look at the full size version on my flickr. I'm very please with the detail. I just wish i shot this RAW, i was kinda just goofin off when i did this. Used a Tamron 17-55

Just got this camera a few hours ago, still adjusting to everything. Just messin around with these shots. No post processing. Right off the camera and resized.

All taken using the 70-200 F4L IS.

Standard in camera noise reduction.

All exif info is there.

ISO 1250

Looking forward to some car pics!

Ha.. I realized I messed up my MAF on the 100-400. Half the race, I was shooting at text on tents and the tire barriers trying to get the lens calibrated. I felt disgusted with myself for not using the lens align the day before and gave up calibrating after a while. I also spent some time cursing myself for not practicing with the 100-400. Those guys that hand hold it and make it look easy are something special, I tell you. Earlier during the day I drank a nice 24oz beer once I heard that the money goes to a charity. Don't know if that affected the performance any. Doubt it. The ones I have posted below are some of the best I managed to get.

Good luck at the races...it is the last of the American Le Mans and the last one for De Ferran. I was going to go, but other things came up. Are you media or just fan.

No media, just a fan. Skipped work today to get there for the qualifiers and to watch the 91 NSX practice for the SCCA GTs. Was nice to see the NSX walk away from the porsches. The 66 Acura in White livery was very cool looking. All white with gray sponsor logos and black rims. Very sweet!

De Ferran earned pole in the qualifier so good for him. Will be sad to see him go. Apparently Luiz Diaz and co are also expected to not come next year: some loss of funding. Don't know the details yet! Those guys have been superb. The surprising thing was Corvette in GT2 getting pole. Those corvettes and the drivers are animals. While I am not a GM fan, it feels nice to see a proud GM marquee hand it to Ferrari and Porsche. The only thing I hate about it is the exhaust. All the cars are loud at full cry: the corvettes are brutally loud!

Somehow I managed to get some decent shots. I think it is a combination of messed up MAF + shake canceling each other out. I need to spend all of tomorrow doing the MAF properly with the lens align.

The photos I have culled are at http://juvvi.smugmug.c​om …unaSeca2009/991​1820_ka2j7

AF tracking sticking like a limpet to the target saved me several times. I have some sequences to illustrate this. All examples with center zone AF (with Tracking priority and AF/Tracking for first/second shots)

This set of images will likely become fuel to the 7D-haters. OMG?! There's noise @ iso 3200 with weak incandescent lighting, true "low-light" scenario! (But my standards are perhaps much lower than most and I am actually quite happy with my 7D and its high ISO images.)

Been having a play with my New 7D and my new 100L Macro, I wasn't sure that the IS was working. As has been said before the IS in this lens is pretty much silent and as it's a shorter focal length the IS doesn't seem so obvious in use as it would on a 70-200L or a 100-400L or even the 24-105L all of which I have owned in the past.

I took the shot below of the front room door catch and screw handheld (rested my elbow on the arm of the settee) at 1:1 using just available light on my 7D, 1/30 sec f2.8 @ 3200ISO. Quite pleased and it shows that the IS does work. Focus was by single AF spot and focussed on the bottom half of the screw.

Taken as a smooth small jpg 2592 x 1798. Haven't tried RAW yet on the 7D as I'm only playing with it at the moment, it only arrived last week and the 100L only arrived this morning.

Settings were AV, spot AF, Standard picure style, -1 exp comp, AWB, matrix metering, AI servo (not used as lens set to 1:1), Single Shot

I like the 7D so much I have put my 5DMk2 up for sale.

You had some seriously good seats for this game. Were you in a 'press pit' or just great bod seats? Exif is lost, what lens?

These are all great images of moving sudjects and so far shows just how good this 7D is becomming, but we still have to see how good the camera is at other subjects too, landscapes, portraits-(pro style), maybe a chance to see some wedding shots...etc??

I still have my sights on the 5d2, but if the 7D can produce images as good as the 5d2 with regards some subject options above i may change my mind?

I WISH I was in the press pit. These were taken handheld from a field box - fifth row - with the Sigma 120-300 2.8 with a Tamron "F" 1.4x TC.

There are many links to other types of shots from other forums in the threads on this board, like weddings, etc. Also, you can find people leaving the MKIII and 5D/5DII to downsize a bit, and the 7D has been sufficient for them.

Here a couple of shots where my 1 year old decided to take me on during a pool tournament. She was all geared up to go early, but she really can't hold her liquor!
