Totally tripping at the homestead

So I got the 5D Mark III, which necessitated updating my computer’s system so I could run software that could read the camera RAW files… ALL WORTH IT! WOW! What a revelation!! “L” glass with the new 5D is nothing less than the SHITE! Here’s some blooming flora from the yard. I did minimal processing on these images, and the first (the aloe bloom) is pretty much straight from the camera.

Cactus bloom

Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L. All at ISO 200.

1st image: lens at 105mm, 1/5000 second at f/4.
2nd image: lens at 105mm, 1/500 second at f/6.3.
3rd image: lens at 105mm, 1/100 second at f/6.3.

(Interesting that I chose images only from the long end of the zoom range.)

New tool

I’ve got a Canon 5D Mark III w/EF 24-105mm in the house so I’m busy updating my game–aka, installing new and updating old software. Coming from a Rebel T2i and a G11 all I’ve got to say is, “WOW!” This is my messy desk with very low key source lighting straight from the camera (except for resizing and a touch of sharpening).
