New Old Camera

Hello all.

Wow, it has nearly been a month since my last post. During that time, I went to my friend's wedding as a groomsman which was a great experience and photos I took of that day can be found here. As well as my usual Judo training, I have started going to the gym to try and gain some mass on myself.

I have also changed my equipment again as I have sold my 650D and bought a 7 year old 5D Classic. It has a bigger body than 650D, a bit more fiddlier and no live view or video mode (but then the screen isn't that great either). It has a full metal body though and a big, bright viewfinder which is a bit of a change as I have been shooting with live view recently. The main thing going for it is that it has a full frame sensor which gives images a greater depth of field. I also noticed that the noise at high ISOs is more of the luminescence variety like in high ISO film as opposed to the random colour noise seen in my other cameras.


A friend of mine, who was visiting from Melbourne, came around and we went to the botanical gardens to take some photos.

My friend just before we went for lunch.

Leica me OM-D?

I don't know what he is doing here...

This guy was about to run us over!

How much do you BENCH?

I just received my Sigma 50mm F1.4 lens today which I had sent away for adjustment so I am expecting amazing things from this set up. But the results of that will have to wait until my next blog...
