Day Seven
"When you hear me do it, you will be shocked and amazed. It's the brand new thing they call the human beatbox craze." -Make The Music With Your Mouth: Biz Markie
Today was walk the show floor day at CES and boy am I exhausted. I got to try out the new Canon EF 70-200mm ƒ/2.8L IS II USM paired up with the 1D Mark IV. The lens is a wonderful improvement over the original version. The 4 stop IS system is amazing as I am handholding at .5 seconds @ 200mm and the viewfinder is just rock solid. Images at this focal length wide open are remarkably sharper than the previous version as well. The camera was also a joy to use and was engineered in such a way as Mark III users can just pick up the camera and go. I could use this camera blindfolded.
So what does that have to do with today's photo? Well, I'm exhausted and getting ready to have dinner so it's a quick photo for today of my bread and butter rig. The 1D Mark III along with the 50mm ƒ/1.2. But here's the kick: this was all taken manual. That's right, manual flash, focus, camera settings. Why? Because the camera I was using is a rangefinder. *Gasp*
