First pictures with 5D3

[whyone]

I have just bought a 5D3, and these are a few of the first pictures I took with the camera - my first venture into the world of full frame digital photography.

Pictures are straight out of the camera, hand held, and explore ISO settings I'd never used before.

Wonderful stuff. 3 cracking images. What ISO are we talking?

Love all 3 of these images, wish I had buildings like this to take photos of, my city/town is so dull

SOC these are good, particularly the last one. I image one will benefit from further work.

It's a stunning bit of equipment and its ISO capabilities are nothing short of stunning I love that first one of yours the colours and exposure are perfect

Let's not forget there is a hell of a lot that you can do in this camera

Thank you all for both your interest and comments.

I was just playing about with the camera trying to get a feel for the options and settings - I have used Canon SLR's for over 30 years and this is far and away the biggest difference I have come across between bodies - bigger than my jump from 35mm to digital!

As well as the nice images there where a fair few that went straight to trash!

ISO's on these images range from 1000 - 2500 on the 3rd picture IIRC. I just used ISO as a means to keep shutter speed/dof reasonable.

Given all the incredible functionality in this camera (which I am far from fully understanding) it is a simple new feature which I found very helpful in composing these shots (which still need some attention I know) - you are now able to turn on a grid of lines in the viewfinder (and in live view) rather than the faff of switching focus screens.
