This is the kind of threads I like. I spend more time on three non-photography forums in the photography threads than I do here because it is mostly oogling over each other's shots rather than critique.

Couple more from my little ole Fuji...

From a walk in the woods with the kids, found this guy in the shadows with the light shining perfectly on him.

A few of my favourites from a "cyclocross" I shot last weekend...

...and that'll be quite enough pimping for one day :lol:
Man, those are great shots and just look at that gear list. One of the most maligned bodies out there... well, sort of. I mean, how many times have we heard "if you can afford something better than the D40, get it"? Heck, I've even said something similar in the past! :D

Your shots rock man, they have a very professional quality to them. And there you are shooting moving subjects with a camera that has 3 AF points and look at those results. Beautiful.
 
Here's a shot from this summer, taken July 17th. This is another model from Model Mayhem.

599275130_BWhUH-X2.jpg


Camera: Canon 5D Mark II
Lens: 70-200 f/2.8L IS
ISO: 100
Av: f/8
Tv: 1/125
Flash: Alien Bee B800 with large softbox.

This was shot on the Indiana Dunes, on the shore of Lake Michigan. The lighting that day was quite challenging as I was shooting in manual mode and the sun kept popping out from behind cloud cover screwing my settings up.

Nice shot. Face seems slightly soft. On a side note, I envisioned Mr. Sun poking his head around a cloud and an arm reaching out and turning the knobs on your camera. :D
 

30D
1/100
f/4.5
ISO 100
12mm
Shot with the sun setting out the window to the right and a WL1600 with a giant octabox above me and to the right slightly. I was laying on the floor. Not bad for just a 30D and a Sigma 10-20.


5D MKII

24mm
5D MKII and 24-70 f/2.8L. This was in a steady rain about 5 minutes before the fire department showed up. Little water never killed anyone. Oh, and this looks like ISO 200 on my 30D :mrgreen:


5D MKII
1/250
f/2.8
ISO 6400
135mm
ISO 6400. 'Nough said.


5D MKII
1/200
f/6.3
ISO 100
24mm
Shot in a decently lit room without any mood. One 580EX II with a set of barndoors fixed that. And who says wide angle should be avoided for portraiture.

Is she really that thick in the mid-section or is that the 24mm at play?

:D

Thank-you! I'm not sure what to say to this other than ... you were right about your points in the first post. :)

I would say the same about your photos, but I believe it's implied ;)

Most people will say that ISO 400 is not usable with this camera, and that the 55-250 lens is crap, but I think these are pretty decent, looking at color/contrast/sharpness...
