Again, what had happened was…
So, remember on Friday I had to shoot with my Canon Rebel?
There was a reason for that. You see, I was cruising on Amazon last week, just looking, when I saw that the price of the Canon 6D
I closed down my browser,but the thought stayed in my mind. And I went over to Adorama and asked for a quote for my 7D, my Lensbaby Spark, My Lensbaby sweet 35 and my Canon 28mm.
And the amount that came back was more than enough to do an exchange.
I packed up that camera and those lenses in record time and ordered the 6D.
Friday night, I trudged up to the main UPS center in Doraville and picked up my Canon 6D.
FULL FRAME.
It’s wonderful. The fact that I can put my 50 1.4 on in my house and have room to shoot like I had my 35 on, is amazing.
The fact that I took SEVERAL photos at ISO 12500 and they were USEABLE was just…..
Chile. I loved my 7D, and I swear if I hadn’t seen the 6D on sale I would have happily stayed blissfully ignorant of the wonders of a full frame camera.
There is a learning curve, for example, I have to get used to new menus and where everything is now after my 7 d. And I did give up all of those focus points. And the depth of field is different on a full frame camera.
SO I’m not as quick as I’d like right now, but by Christmas day…….
I’m so happy! I leave you with a photo I took in my hallway at ISO 6400. I didn’t have to use any noise reduction at all. I’m amazed at that. Just amazed. And this was with my 50. I was right on him.
I’ll take a few weeks to learn the camera and get used to it and do a full review. Probably in the new year
I’m in love!
Settings : ISO 6400, F 2.5 Shutter Speed 1/500
Ohhh….Congrats on your new camera!!! I can’t wait to see more of your photos with the full-frame! I am pretty sure the 6D is going to make you forget all about the 7D in no time. 🙂
Merry Christmast to you! Can’t wait to see pictures. Pookah is so darn cute.
How exciting!
beautiful!! I am excited for you and excited for the photos that we will get to enjoy!
Of course the picture look beautiful to me…but your excitement about this new camera was spilling over into your words/post. I have a cannon rebel I think I’m a “professional” everytime I bring it out LOL
Of course, I don’t know how to use it properly but I do get some amazing pictures. Just imagine if I knew what I was doing lol
Can’t wait to see your pictures from Christmas….
All this camera vocabulary has my head spinning. Because I love it so much, it’s on my “To Do List” for 2014.
Now, let me find a challenge for you so I can see new pictures everyday.
That’s at ISO 6400?! I think I need to rewrite my Christmas list right quick 😉 Congrats on the new camera!
iJealous!! I have it on my radar for next Christmas!! Can’t wait to hear you tell us more about the features. You know all of the tech features I just “be” trying to take photos. That crisp at that ISO is amazing. I’m sold. Now let me save my coins!!
I had been saving for a new lens because I didn’t think I could afford this! But the sale just got me!!!
I love that you saw something you wanted and went after it! The picture looks amazing! It is so clear and precise! Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you! I had to do some manipulating but I’m so glad I did!
Your new baby is a hottie! I need to take a photography class so I’ll know what your talking about in these posts! LOL
Stay tuned in the new year!
I so need a camera. I lost mine this past summer. the quality of this photo is spectacular.
Thank you! Get a new camera! You need something other than your phone to take pictures on!
