Joby, bodies may come and go but L glass is forever. :P Seriously, the 5Dmkii is such a treat and I feel terribly spoiled with it. I really don't know if there is that much difference compared with other bodies with this kind of photography. It seemed like I had terrific results with my Rebel when I first started out with the LB. I only just switched this summer to FF...but I have seen a huge difference with non LB glass on the 5Dmkii compared to the Rebel.]]> Bender General Discussion Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:09:15 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,114437,114867#msg-114867 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,114437,114867#msg-114867 David Morel General Discussion Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:13:08 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,114437,114866#msg-114866 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,114437,114866#msg-114866
I am always humbled by the great images here on LB.

Give me a day, and I'll start Speed Challenge #44.

Darkslide - Beautiful colors and love the depth and almost 3D effect.

Rich - As a conductor myself, I appreciate any statues dedicated to my mostly undeserving kind. Good composition and sweet spot.

Shurla - Like the subject matter. A blue sky behind would have made it even better. (but who can control the weather!)

Bender - I am definitely getting 5d mk 2 envy. I like the way the man in blue stands out against the woods. I also like the sense of motion and depth of the photo.

AND THE WINNER IS:

DarkSlide

Congrats and I look forward to the next speed challenge.

Not my most recent image, but one that I very much like, and one that displays this "wide open" look.
