Splash! Camera test

[minicoop1985]

I'm auditioning a Rebel T4i as a potential backup for my 7D, so I decided to see how well it does. So far, I'm very pleased with the results. Crispy sharp, handles flash well, and I actually find I like the touch screen to a degree. Without further adieu, here's the first result.

And yes, that's my Tamron 17-50 f2.8 on there.

NICE! I haven't really considered doing water drops in B&W, I may have to give it a go and see what i can come up with.

As for the camera, I've always thought a touch screen would be super handy! I can see how it would grow on you pretty quickly.

Thanks, Jazzie! Actually, that's not TECHNICALLY B&W-that's a "color" photo of a black and white subject. Here's what the camera comes up with for white balance:

I just took the dropper tool in LR after trying it myself (I was spot on, believe it or not) and found an area that was supposed to be gray.
