Pro1 - Good morning!

sueanne · Feb 14, 2011

Thanks John,
I had a great day because it was warm (a big welcome from the cold)
and had a busy fun day.

Ha, I was wondering how I could shoot that at 1/15 at iso50. But because it wasn't that dark and in RAW always helps the shakiness I think.

Have a good evening and glad you liked the pictures. (;

Hi Sue Anne,
Both are gorgeous & hope you had a nice Valentine's!
Quite impressive if that Pro1 shot was handheld @ 1/15!

Good evening Hamdan,

The 7D is a very nice camera, I enjoy it so far and still lots to figure out. Reading, trying and experimenting is what I have been doing.

I find shooting mostly in P mode is a start and it does very well in low light and high iso's.

One for you recently looking at the sunset on the icy snow
7D
1/400s f/7.1 at 50.0mm iso400

Have a good evening !

Thanks, Sue Anne for the golden sunset from the 7D. I think the 7D is one of the best. I played with it when it first came out and liked it very much. But the price is a bit high. But will get either the 7D or the new 600D if/when my 40D gives me problem.

YW Hamdan,

But remember I got a refurbished 7D so I saved lots than the retail price. (and it seem brand new)

Keep the 40D going as it will go, I will keep this 7D for a long time, ha it may be my last dslr til it dies. (knock on wood)

Have a good evening and I am going to get some zzzz soon.

Hi Colleen,
Yes definitely a great way to start the day.

The flowers pictures were taken yesterday, it was the church' bouquet and I needed a picture for another challenge ....

I did get flowers this evening but I have to reshoot as I didn't like the way they turned out.

Happy Valentines to you too !

Thanks Bob

I aim to put some of these photos in a digital scrapbook so that is why I take moments to remember.

Have a great day!

How's the 7D doing for you? Still have it?

Remember last year I sold my 7D and went for the 1DMkIII thinking it was the best of both worlds - having a 1.3x crop and 10fps frame rate for sports/action and IQ like a FF body. But I sold my 1D and went back to the 7D........ I realized the 1D was just too big and expensive for just being an amateur.

The 7D for my needs was overall the better choice........for an APS-C sensored body, it's the best one on the market today, even outperforming the Nikon D300's.

It's a keeper, having a great build, ergonomics, outstanding AF performance and fast frame rate for sports/action with great high ISO results.

I completely agree with you, Gerald! I used to live in Phoenix and used the Pro1 at Sedona on several different trips. The results were just ourstanding! Even today, I have some framed 8X10's oif some of the lovely scenics form Sedona, and the Pro1 gave wonderful color and detail. So, I agree with you 100%.

Dale,

In 2007, we visited friends in Sedona, AZ. To save weight, I took my Pro 1 and got a lot of gorgeous shots with excellent color. In my opinion, the Pro 1 is better for landscapes than my 30D. A good part of the time I shot in Vivid, which can be a little over the top; but for the red rocks around Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon it was perfect.

Since I haven't seen any activity, I thought by now you sold the 7D BUT glad its considered a great sports/action cam. I think it might be in competition with the Nikon D7000 than the Nikon D300.

It is a keeper and looking at the 7D, you'd think it was a dud.
I like it for its clean high ISO

Here is one I took this morning, its still not that bright outside and though it showed blown highlights, it was the snow

1/60s f/2.8 at 50.0mm iso400

The only thing I ask is I get alot of high ISO's but at low shutter speeds which I thought if I shoot higher ISO's, the shutter should be higher. (on P mode)

Have a great evening and racing season is starting already.

Check what your aperture is when using P mode......it may be selecting a smaller aperture therefore giving you slower shutter speeds. I shoot Av 80% of the time since aperture control is very important either for the best DoF, sweet spot of the lens or fastest shutter speed possible for proper exposure.........I only use Tv when I want a specific slow shutter speed to emphasize motion, i.e., waterfalls or prop blur on aircraft........

Thanks for that tip.

I still like to shoot P mode mostly but will try some more on Av Mode. I have enough to think about though I know some say I should shoot manual.
