A few from today:

I don't think many people appreciate the amount of crisp detail that comes out of the 5D.

All were good, but I particularly liked the first image. Thanks for posting.

Actually, these were all cropped quite a bit (except the last one) - the 1st one had about 2/3 cropped out. Yea, the 5D has plenty of detail, and I was using a lens that is not only defective, but a lens that many people say is very soft, the 70-300DO. The IS is shot in my copy of the lens..

[85mm]

I really like the third one. It's looks like abstract art but really, it's just nature (and a good photographer).

i'm resisting but the lure of a weak AA filter is just tooo much!

I see dead pixels

Great shots, what rez size etc. do you use for posting your pics?

 

[St3v3]

Just falling in love with the first one...

How much USM did you apply? It looks way over sharpened.

Omg no vignetting? your camera must be broken take it back just kidding, nice photos

Guess it depends on the display you are using. Im using an Apple 23" HD Cinema Display and they look good, maybe a bit overdone. On my PC NEC flat panel they look soft, but that display is 5 years old. Im still used to working on my E1 images, which require more PP - I have more 5D images, and some of my E1 aniaml shots here:

Superb images; great compositions; I'm trying to guess the glass. I see a lot of 300 mm shots, but also a 280 mm. Is it a prime, or zoom? Very good indeed

Many bash it, but I like the lens. This one arrived with the IS not working though, but Ill exchange it.

I guess, the new camera requires a more gentle and subtle approach. Try to reduce the sharpening you will see how much better it will become.

Tried out the beta of lightroom, not bad! These were processed with it from the RAW's...

My wife uses the 70 - 300 IS DO on her 20D because it's about as large and heavy a lens as she wants to carry around.

I borrow it when I have to travel (for work) and liked the results on my 1D mkII pretty well, but it seems to be a better lens on the 5D (I have no idea why). By all means, get a copy with the IS working -- it's certainly better than the IS on the 100 - 400 that I'm used to using.

pictures, but you're really blowing the highlights by letting the backgrounds infuence exposure. Either set your exposure manually based on the RGB histogram, or use the partial meter if you're more comfortable with automation. You may also find a polarizer useful for reducing the severity of reflections and highlights.
