It's a photomanip consisting of 3 images that I took in my little tabletop studio setup. These are some of the first images shot with my new 20D.

Let me know what you think!

Looks pretty darn good to me. Great idea and PS work as well.

excellent Matt! 20D eh? how do you like it?

Digital Matt · Jan 5, 2005

Thanks Tuna, and thank you JonMikal.

I love the 20D. Everything about it is quality.

Excellent concept!!! I think the blood could have used more blue and black; it kind of looks like ketchup. The drop on the seamless adds a great touch, but again I would like to see some color.

Digital Matt · Jan 6, 2005

Thanks Craig. Maybe you are right about the color of the blood. I think this looks more like movie blood than real blood, but to the average person, that's probably more what they think of.

Ditto!

There is nothing to say about your work. Your work is by default top-notch! You should register at BlackBook

damn.. the idea is great

and the wuality of it.. but the blood is disgusting

Digital Matt · Jan 6, 2005

Thanks Dan

You are too kind. As far as BlackBook, I'm not really a stock photographer. I don't have an agent like any of those guys either. That seems way out of my league.

Thank you mentos. Sorry to gross you out

I thought BlackBook was primarily a directory for photographers/illustrators in all fields. For example, here is the listing of photojournalists in the NE. Blackbook, I hear is on every Art Director's desk. Its the Yellow Pages for photographers and Illustrators. Do check them out!

Matt,

I was just marveling at all of your photography, and was curious what camera(s)/lenses you were using before the 20d.

Digital Matt · Jan 6, 2005

Thanks conch

Curiouslyadrift: Thank you very much. Everything I was using and am still currently using is in my sig.

I started out with the Digital Rebel kit lens, but replaced that several months ago with the Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4, and the 70-300 macro is a cheap Sigma, that I'm happy to have replaced with the Canon 70-200 f/4 L.

I will continue to use my Rebel. I like the fact that I can go out with 2 bodies now, and have a wide angle lens on my Rebel and my 70-200 on the 20D. I'll ready to shoot any subject in any situation.

I just got my battery grip and remote switch for the 20D, so I'm all set!
