After a gig in Berkeley, I happened upon this unfortunate guy and his friends. What to do?? I took a picture. (I’m sure he survived.) The image is straight from the camera at ISO 6400–no processing of the RAW file other than resizing and a tad of sharpening.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 105mm. 1/15 second at f/4.0, ISO 6400.

It’s hard to be discreet taking photos in a relative small establishment while using a 5D Mark III w/zoom attached. This woman definitely knew I was taking her picture and was kind enough to hold a nice pose.

This guy’s alcove “home” is just several doors away from very pricey restaurants and chi-chi boutiques in an affluent area of a city in the state with the largest economy in the richest country on the planet.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 85mm. 1/80 second at f/8.0, ISO 400.

I was able to get out and about some with my new 5D Mark III over the past couple of days. I did a lot of experimenting because I realized after my first outing that I had a learning curve to tackle. This full body portrait of Maggie, however, was a no-brainer.
And, because today is the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, here’s a shot I took with the 5DM3 last week from the top of the Marin Headlands. (For more of my Golden Gate Bridge shots type “Golden Gate Bridge” in the search field in the column on the right, or check out my bridge set on Flickr.)
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.
Mags shot: lens at 75mm. 1/50 second at f/5.0, ISO 200.
Bridge shot: lens at 35mm. 1/400 second at f/8.0, ISO 200.

I decided I needed to give the 5DM3 a go during the commute home today. I ended up going all the way out to Fort Cronkhite on the Marin Headlands to get this photo. What I learned along the way is that a full frame sensor camera handles depth of field way differently than a crop sensor camera. Time to tame the beast.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 at 105mm. 1/640 second at f/8.0, ISO 200. (All 105mm posts so far with this lens!?!)
