What I've been up to
Posted on 28. Sep, 2009 by Thomas in Blog, Photography, Site News
For those who subscribe or visit this blog semi regularly you may have noticed a dearth of updates over the last week or so. I had a slight run in with the Irish health care system last week which you can read about here and I’ve been busy with design work. I also added to my ever growing family of camera equipment with the purchase of a Canon 5D Mark II. For those who know me or have read my blog for a while, you’ll know that it wasn’t an easy decision. I had a 5D Mark I and while I liked some of the results, the camera annoyed the life out of me. In the end though the decision came down to a combination of the increased resolution, the video and the price. As my design work focuses mostly on motion graphics I really wanted a capable camera for capturing elements etc. The D90′s video just doesn’t cut it. I could have waited and gone for the 7D with its expanded video options but I wanted a full frame camera again.
I’m in the process of writing a review / diary of my experiences with the 5DII. I know there’s hundreds of reviews of the camera out there already, but I think I can bring a different approach. For a start, I wasn’t in love with it before I bought it, which many 5D owners seem to have been. I won’t hold back on the criticism or the adulation where it’s deserved. Anyway, for now here’s a few stills from the camera and a sample of video (which really wasn’t planned – so forgive its failings)
