7D shots

[Stephen Eastwood]

All shot last week, so its not a final firmware. All shot with speedlites, some a mix of the speedlite and ambient light in the 3200 iso shots.

also some samples of using speedlites and the speedlite controller built in can be seen here: http://stepheneastwood.com/stuff/stefaniya1/2/

all shots after this one

(7D after the first one above, the eariler ones were with 5d2 and speedlites using the TT5's)

(and this was more playing around test, so yes I know the wedding dress is wrinkled as can be, I will have it pressed before an actual shoot)

and to show one of the advantages of raw I shot this blown out

and pulled it back in DPP here

real fast sample video handheld with horrible form

thank god for pretty models, makes everything seem better.

I was already answering some questions here http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=497296

but feel free to ask here, only I will be out most of the day shooting so I may not get to answer until tomorrow.


If you are interested in the speedlite setup for the earlier 5D2 shots I posted some answers here: http://openphotographyforums.com/for...ead.php?t=9672

Thanks so much, Stephen for giving us practical examples to see what the 7D can yield with good hands.

Stephen Eastwood Model Shot with Canon 7D, ? 28-105 lens, ISO 3200

As it, these pictures are instantly very beautiful. I expect these where developed in Canon software from RAW, but maybe these are just the plain jpgs out of the camera? Which is it? What corrections if any did you employ?

If they were corrected, I'd like to see the as shot jpgs too.

At the large size, these pictures do show some flaws of color noise if one looks closely, but for most purposes these pictures are excellent.

I'm particularly interested in these shots as ISO 3200 as it gives me an idea of the sensitivity of the 7D, needed in a dark auditorium. The x1.6 of the sensor would give me extra reach and put those 18 MP to work on my subject without cropping. I'd love to see a side by side test with the 5DII and a 70-200 2.8L and compare the difference at ISO 1600 upwards.

amy (asian model) was shot with the 70-200 2.8 IS

Stefaniya 7d shots with the 24-105 f4.0 IS

Stefaniya 5d2 shots with the 70-200 2.8 IS

amy was converted in DPP stefaniya 7d also in DPP

the older 5d shots converted in ACR

the still life all jpg from camera of both 7d and 5d2 all iso's all 70-200L

Hi, Asher,

Is there any possibility that its video mode would be useful for the application you have been discussing?

Of course, 1920 x 1080 px seems to be the greatest resolution available in that mode. But you certainly could exploit it with the availability of a small field of view.

It of course is also possible that it would offer a "silent mode" still photo modality better than what we have in the current product line.

Best regards,

Hi Doug,

Using this or the 5DII as a movie camera in a performance requires absolute silence. Only the G10 can do that AFAIK. If one starts the video when the musicians enter the stage and then one has a long enough battery or else AC power, then one could record the entire performance in silence in HD video! I'm thinking of that! I'll look in the box to see if we were supplied an AC adapter, although I don't recall that. I have one of course for the Canon 1DII. It's one of those things I'd put aside and never consider using. Now I want it, LOL!

I'm impressed, anyway, with the 7D just for the ISO 3200 as I like to use available light for almost everything except tableau construction and formal portraits for professional musicians. The advantage of the 7D might well be better focus than the 5DII. Stephen, is that your experience? I'd love to see a shootout between the two cameras at high ISO!
