Perhaps i can throw in a few recent shots here again, i'm sorry about the somewhat high resolution of these but i'm linking them in from my Flickr page.

That is an awesome shot, so crisp and great colors (her eyes!)


Regarding the lightning: i used a tripod, a rather narrow aperture with low ISO 200/400 and manually exposed (BULB) repeatedly, always releasing right after a lightning happened. There weren't many though, because i missed the best part assembling my equipment. I'll check a weather forecast next time

Hehe thanks Adrian i liked her too and i snapped as many pics of her as i could the few seconds she was coming out of the pool. Guess you could say i also drowned in her eyes when i took her pics.. i got some more from the same series here below in lower resolution. Higher resolution shots can be seen on my Flickr page.

Aha i see, you used Bulbmode to grab those. Hm interesting, i have to try that sometimes when i bought a remote to see if i can get any.. when you get some more of those sexy lightning shots do post, they are lovely to look at.

You may think it's real, but it'snot..

I think i would submit the girl photos to a contest Magnus, they're that good. What great dynamic range you can get out of the 7D.

You may think it's real, but it'snot..

What gave it away, the snot shader?

[Maximus3D]

To a contest ? heh, i don't know.. haven't thought about that. But now when you mention it then hmm maybe it should try to do that if i find a suitable competition. And btw Adrian, thanks!
The 7D is real good and it can handle just about any situation you throw at it without crying. Sure it's not fullframe but it does a great job and i'm satisfied with the output quality i get from it. A camera well worth the price it cost. We have a rainforest zoo here in Gothenburg where it's very humid and rainy indoors, lots of trees and animals. And i brought the 7D in there with a non-weathersealed lens and it handled it without a issue, even the lens survived.

Wanna see something new.. here's a few i caught today, there's a big football challenge called Gothia Cup with teams from all around the world now in the city, some 50-60,000 kids are playing against eachother and i caught this at the openingsceremony tonight in poor diffuse lighting from a clouded eveningsky.





Edit: I'm adding a few more from today in this post instead of making yet another one. I don't wanna spam this thread with only my pics.

I'm keeping you company Max
Nice shot from gothia you got there too!

Same as before, my girl in rays of sun light

[Maximus3D]

Good thing atleast you keep me company here in this thread Ludenhud.
Your woman sure is a looker on your photos, the camera seems to like her
Are you using softboxes, umbrellas and reflectors for your portraits or is it just natural light ?

Btw, thanks.

Edit: I'm throwing in these two, enjoy..

I did use a softbox for the latest photo I posted but I think the natural light did most of it since I can't see that much of the flash in there.
I used low settings for the flash and had it placed a few meter away from the subject.

Haha the fish shot looks unreal
