hehe

DF: i havent had chance to download yet, but i will and as soon as i do, i will let you know :)

I am certain the 5D is a classic camera, I have read lot's of opinions on it so it does go without saying that it is. Congrats on your purchase, I am sure you'll have many happy finger clicking moments.:thumbs:

However - that photo!!! I wanted to ensure it wasn't just me so I asked the wife for her opinion - did nothing at all for her so she said, and she also asked why the bottom 3rd was black.:thinking:

I appreciate your excitement, and I mean no offense... but if that shot were an ad for a 5D, I wouldn't be buying one and I can't honestly see why anyone would see it as an awesome shot.:shrug:

I see your point... its not meant to be an advert for the 5d...and it certainly wouldnt win any awards; it is meant to show one of my first photo's i took with it really.
Its not a great photo no... i am just getting used to the camera and got excited so posted :shrug:
Havent had chance to really play yet, so there will hopefully be more better shots coming.

Again, just a thread really to show off my new toy :D

Thanks though :)

[raathistle]

Congrats and snap on the new arrival. Its a beast and I love it, have fun with it

[dod]

congrats, new toys are always fun :)

[Marcel]

:O She's purdy :D

[benneh]

New toy is super duper :).

Pic hmmm, I do like it, because I like Contre-jour and what have you. Looks cp'd. here's to many more :).

[Canon Bob]

Nice one Katy......85L next?;)

Bob

[davidbridges]

I can't honestly see why anyone would see it as an awesome shot.

the same reason anybody finds any shot awesome ...

i really dislike all of ansel adams work ... and thats obviously not a shared opinion

like already stated i like the shot :)

[kmlc]

Thanks guys :)

Canon Bob: i wish! haha, im just gettin used to the 24-105... :)

watch this space for the fiddy *** i preordered :)

[petemc]

1st pic needs more contrast, *if* we're being stupidly silly about critiquing photos ;) Congrats on your new toy. :D

[kmlc]

:lol:

[kevshore]

Really pleased for you on the new toy!
If we're being REALLY picky about the shots, then that table could do with a coat of varnish!
Just get out there and enjoy it. ;-)

[joxby]

:O She's purdy :D

c'mon, stay on topic, its the 5D thread....

Yup - looks like the Blackberry has over exposed the 5D. :)

Look forward to seeing the results with the 5D

[moomike]

Congratulations :woot:

A Canon eh? Who makes them then?

Damn that blackberry ;) hahaha

:D

[Jelster]

I'm not jealous, but there IS a full frame ban on Sunday (goes off in a huff)

Well done Katy, I'm looking forward to playing with it this weekend :eek: ;)

(now you have no excuses!)

Steve

[DarknFuzzy]

Enjoy your purdy new toy, looks the business! :)

hahaha!! ta steve

hows your new toy coming along?

:D

[InaGlo]

Welcome to the club Katy! :thumbs:

My 5D is called 'the Beast' too (it was my 1st DSLR & felt such a monster after what I was used to).

Hope you enjoy many hours with it. :)

[kmlc]

Thanks 'Glo
Gonna be even more of a beast with a grip.... muaahahahaa
:D

:naughty:

[inaneredstripe]

we have one too. they are quite shy, but lovely performers.

[AliB]

I can't believe you lot sometimes. Three comments saying you would not buy a 5D. I could take an utterly crap pic on a Hasselblad H3, believe me I could:lol: (about 30K worth of camera) would that one pic put you off buying one?

It's the old joke about the chef being congratulated on fine food when, in fact, it's all been down to a decent set of pans!

Congrats on the 5D kmlc, I'm sure you are going to have fun with it and when you start to produce some stunning stuff perhaps our three above will be first in the queue to buy one. :clap:

[Treesie]

Sorry Jelster, I think 5D's will be on show this:woot: weekend

[MarkEvan]

Congrats on the 5D, nice combo that and the 24-105.
