I added the batterygrip to my 7D today to make it more comfortable to work with and to get steadier shots with less shake. This is me in the bathroom mirror.

Looks like you've been totally sucked in into the world of photography, Max
This thing is addictive.

[Maximus3D]

Hehe yep m-Que but then again i always photographed since i was a little kid using my fathers old manual cameras back then. Now i also managed to turn this hobby into a job as i'm currently working for the city to document the construction and repairs/rebuilding of a older building and area into a more modern conference centre. I will also produce folders, slideshows, website and build a gallery of photos showcasing the building and the surrounding area to attract new conferences to the location. It's a fun yet timeconsuming and difficult job, my first commercial photo gig.
And i'm sometimes shooting newsworthy stuff and try to sell these to the local newspapers to earn some extra money. Unfortunately all this has given me less time for 3D lately.

Addictive.. that's probably a understatement

cool shell Max...

btw... how was the wedding..?

[Maximus3D]

Yep, seashells are nice to take pics of. Easy subjects because they stand still and don't move around much.
The wedding, it was big and nice but i watched some of it on the TV at home. Could not get to Stockholm in time for it hehe. However i went to Stockholm this Wednesday (jobinterview) and the few hours i were there i shot some pics, here's two of them.. more may come soon.





Edit: Some new pics below from Liseberg amusementpark in Gothenburg.

Just me hanging loose

[Thomas An.]

Magnus,

It seems to me photography is a much stronger suit to you than Maxwell has ever been. You are flying with that camera son.

[iker]

ludenhud, have you used extra light in your last picture? flash?

btw/ nice to read from you again Thomas, any new renders?

[Maximus3D]

Thomas: Thank you very much i appreciate your kind comment a lot. I guess the reason for that is i were pretty much born with a camera in my hand, i got one from my father when i were a little kid and i been photographing ever since and now recently when i had a chance to invest in a nice new camera again it reignited my lifelong interest in photography. So i done this way longer than i ever done 3d and Maxwell.

It's fun and easy, you have full freedom to play with light, composition, detail, atmosphere and much more directly in your viewfinder. I just wish i owned better lenses as this one lens i got now can only do so much, i would love to own a 70-200 and 100-400 lens and ofcourse a macro, a tripod would be nice too.

I posted a lot more pics on my Flickr page compared to here on the forum because i didn't wanna spam the forum with photos, this is after all a Maxwell forum.

Time for something completly different.. i filmed a few sequences at a local aquarium/zoo which has some exotic fishes and other animals, edited it at home and this is what i got. Hope you guys like it and if you watch it please do watch the 1080p version at fullscreen.

Same clip hosted on different sites if one of them is not working for you.

[Bubbaloo]

Very nice! Do you have to focus manually with your camera?

[Maximus3D]

Thanks Bubba, yep i focus manually because the contrastbased autofokus is very slow when shooting video (read unusuable). I could perhaps have edited the clip a bit better to cut out some of the ouf of focus parts but i still feel it added a bit to the feeling of the whole shot. Next time i will do better!
