I got a new camera

Tuesday, July 30, 2013 20:50

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

For my birthday this year, I decided to treat myself to a very expensive present. I’ve been looking to switch to a full frame camera for about a year, and when I heard about the Canon 6D, I pretty much had to have it. I’m no photo expert, and I don’t pretend to be professional, but I do love taking good photos and learning how to improve.

Considered an ‘entry level’ full frame, the 6D has photo quality equal (so I’ve heard) to the Canon 5D Mark III, but with less frames per second, less focus points, less weight, and about $1800 less dollars out of my bank account for the kit with lens. The sacrifices were easy to make to save all that cash, and I am beyond thrilled with the photos I’m able to get with this camera and my favorite 28mm lens!

ISO 100, 1/40, f/5, 28mm

I took this one and was impressed at the clarity in his face, so I zoomed in…

…and peed myself. I could see all the little drops of water in his hair, which just blew my mind. The only editing I did was the white balance. Most of the photos I take with this camera are super sharp.

ISO 1250, 1/4000, f/2.8, 28mm

The best thing about the full frame is the amount of light that hits the sensor. It’s a crazy difference looking through the viewfinder of this camera compared to my crop-sensor Rebel XSi. It also has amazing ISO capability, up to 25,600 where my Rebel’s limit was 1600! In the one above, I set the ISO higher at 1250 because we were shaded by a tree, and there is no noticeable noise in the photo. Win!

ISO 4000, 1/3200, f/3.5, 28mm

In the above shot of our friend’s 1 year old, it was overcast so I started playing around with the ISO. I loved this shot with her kissy lips, and there is just a bit of noise at ISO 4000 in this photo. She is so adorable!

ISO 100, 1/250, f/2.2, 28mm

I took this photo of our friend’s son Sammy at a festival, it was a lucky shot because he was making all kinds of funny faces. I regret the people standing in the background, but I’m not good enough at photoshop to edit them out, and the large aperture makes them nice and blurry.

ISO 400, 1/250, f/9, 28mm

I snapped this one at a cool Alterra coffee in Milwaukee, it was blazing hot and Ashford would’ve jumped into this awesome fountain if we let him! I love the lines in the photo, and the way the baby is looking at the camera while eating germs off that random water toy. I chose a smaller aperture to make sure the scene behind him was in focus.

ISO 100, 1/160, f/3.2, 28mm

I set the camera on a little table outside to try to get a couple nice photos of me and Ash….good luck! I think I look nice, but he was not interested in photos that day. I still think the quality of the photo is really good for being a remote shutter pic.

ISO 100, 1/80, f/2.5, 28mm

I also had to share this sparkly-eyed shot of little Sammy, he is just a beautiful boy and the light from the window was doing awesome things for his eyes. I thought about warming up the color a bit, but he really is a pretty pale kid so I left it! One thing that I always marvel at with the 6D, is the slower shutter speeds I can get away with. This one is 1/80 and usually I would get a softer photo, but this one is very sharp.

ISO 100, 1/250, f/2.5, 28mm

This pic was obviously Ashford’s first haircut. He was not pleased. And I must admit, I am not pleased that my little baby now looks like a 4 year old!

ISO 250, 1/160, f/5, 28mm

I can’t wait for that hair to grow back!

ps – Hmmm…looking back at this post, I seem to spend entirely too much time taking photos of 1 year olds.
