Canon 5D & Golf

April 30th, 2008

A couple of days back I purchased a Canon 5D body from Jamie after finding out he was selling it at a bargain price. It was an offer that I knew I wouldn’t come across again any time soon, so I jumped at the chance.

Yesterday, I decided to take it out and play around with it a little. Me and a few work mates played a round of golf at Glen Iris Golf Course and I got to take a few quick photos in between playing. The top photo is of my friend Ryan and the one below is one that he took of me. I had to process the top image a bit as it was the first photo I took and hadn’t changed any settings yet. The sky was blown out so I (quickly) added in some clouds from a different shot I took on the day.

I am loving the full frame goodness that the 5D offers. My wide-angle lens actually feels like a wide-angle! I’m looking forward to taking it out on a landscape shoot as soon as I can. Maybe tonight or tomorrow night.

Thanks Jamie.

good shot of the ball, nice pov on the shot you took, looks like you use fill flash but maybe you just overexposed it to bring the shadows out. Cool anyway.

Hi Beau,

I’m glad that you like the 5D, I was almost teary when you took it away lol. I spent a lot of time with that camera.

Now that you have a full frame camera your world will change, looking forward to see what you can do with it.

I’m jealous!!! but stoked for ya!
I like the photos, I just got home from the driving range. The photo of you is cool cause you can see the ball!
Unfortunately I have got into some sort of bad habit with my driver and now I can’t drive straight as it swings and now I can’t fix it!

Can’t wait to see your first shots with it!
