Cotton Tree Jetty on a perfect Sunshine Coast day! Times like this it sucks being behind the camera!
Crazy times abound here on the Sunshine Coast at the moment. I have been shooting flat out and working pretty much non-stop. It seems that this time of the year is not only the hottest, but also the busiest and most lovely to shoot. That makes for long days behind the 7D and long nights in front of the computer.
I’m onto my second 7D, and it’s still not right. It’s a great camera so as long as I don’t need to use the autofocus. Ahhh, it’s a sad story to tell, this one. . .
Disclaimer: This is straight out of the camera! It includes unaltered wind generated lens shake, automatic highlight tone priority visibly changing the exposure (lesson learnt!), messy pans and all. It is not meant to be a showcase of my best work, it is only to show the results of my first afternoon shooting this camera. There are some shots in there that I would never include in a final edit for upload, but have here because a camera test should be just that, a warts and all look at what it looks like. There is a time and a place for icky-sticky sugar coated depth of field wack off material, but this isn’t it.
Just a quick note. I just received a lovely package in the mail from my friends at CamerasDirect.com.au. (Fantastic customer service and great prices! If you’re in Australia, get onto them!)
A brand spanking Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC. I gave it a quick run down the beach just now and am really impressed with the quality.
