First daylight shoots with 5D

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

This morning it was a cloudy weather at about zero degrees centigrade, and so I decided to take my new camera to a walk.

I also took my tripod with me, and tested many different shots. Also, I tried my Hoya ND8 neutral density filter to blur the sea, but I guess I'll still need a darker filter (or two stacked together) for optimum results.

Other that that, I'm very happy with my shots! The camera is indeed demanding (plus, I made a couple of simple mistakes), but that was to be expected. Great, this is where I wanted to be. And it should only get better.

Now, for those programmers out there, I found an interested Russian web site with information about Canon EOS firmware hacking. Dunno about copyrights with this site, but anyway...
