Canon Eos 5d Second Hand
This tutorial is a brief explanation of the reasons why I want to overexpose a bit about me when I'm shooting portraits.
The situation:
oYou're Photos
oYou're shooting in the dark, half-day
Equipment I use:
OCanon 5D
oCanon objective f/2.8L 24-70mm
oHandheld Digital Light Meter
oSilver reflector, and an assistant
My goal:
Draw attention to questions Ear to my eyes and smooth complexion
Step 1 –
The first thing I do is put my ISO. If there is enough light available, I will choose ISO 100. This option is chosen primarily because I want the best image quality. I also the white balance to the light.
Step 2 –
I can choose my opening. Most of the time my objective in substantive images is to achieve maximum and foreground blur. All I want the sharpness of the tactic is in the eyes of my subject. Therefore, my opening statement of choice is the frequency f / 2.8, as open as this objective is capable of doing.
Step 3 –
I choose my component. This number can vary, and no is not really as long as atleast one sixtieth of a second. And honestly I prefer 1 / 125 or faster to avoid camera movement.
* If not enough light to shoot at 1 / 60 second or faster, I want to increase my ISO to 200 to solve the problem.
Okay, so how do I know what should be shot? I use a handheld light meter to begin. Using a handheld meter is more accurate than the meter in camera, believe me this time! However, if you do not have a meter handheld, use the built-in counter in the camera.
In this situation, first tell my meter I want to save the image at ISO 100 with an aperture of f/2.8. The meter is filled in the blanks for me and informed me that I must use a shutter speed of 1 / 500 second. Therefore, I take the picture:
ISO 100
Aperture f/2.8
Shutter 1 / 500
After taking the picture, I see that the exposure right, but personally, I do not. I want to draw attention to the eyes and remove minor imperfections in the image overexposure. From experience, I learned that I can do this simply by overexposure about the status quo. Since I do not want to change my aperture or ISO, I want to let more light through my blind, slowing to 1 / 250 second. Results:
ISO 100
Aperture f/2.8
Shutter 1 / 250

new dslr ??????????????????????????????????
I have an entry level DSLR (Canon EOS 1000D), but i am considering an upgrade to a EOS 7D.
I know a DSLR is a DSLR, and an lens upgrade would be better, but i dont like the idea of doing photography for clients and only having a Amatuer 1000D.
I am considering saving up about £1000 and buying a new, more advanced DSLR, i would ideally like to get a full frame camera like the 5D, but the expense of the lenses put me off.
I know many of you will say it’ll be wiser to get a new lens and keep my 1000D, but is a 1000D really that suitable for a growing photographer.
I travel to different parts of the UK, and travel to france quite abit to take Photographs, and i dont think a amatuer camera is suitable for my growing level of photography.
So. What do you think .. Should i get a Canon eos 7d, keep my 1000D and get some new lenses, or save abit more and get a second hand 5D ??
“but i dont like the idea of doing photography for clients and only having a Amatuer 1000D”
As said in another answer, 99% of any clients you may have do not give a rat’s behind what model of camera you have. To them, they are all “professional cameras”.
You need to sit and take a bottom line look at things. You need to list specifically all the things that your current camera is NOT doing for you that an “upgrade” would. Do you need better noise control? Do you need much larger prints? Do you need video capture? Are you REALLY going to make more money with a 7D, (or 5D or whatever), than you are making now? If so, how soon will the cost of the new camera be “paid for” by the newly increased income? If it cannot be justified within a year, then you are not gaining anything buying another body.
If your answers to most of the above questions is no, then that means you are buying another camera NOT based on NEED, but based on the simple fact that you WANT it. There is nothing wrong with that. Buying things we want helps the world go around. You just need to quit trying to fool yourself with phony excuses of WHY you NEED a new camera, and realize you will be buying it because you WANT it instead.
When you get it clear in your mind that you are buying it only because you WANT it, then you stop agonizing over which to get or what lens to get. It makes NO DIFFERENCE. You get whatever you WANT and whatever you can AFFORD. Nothing else enters into the equation. Clients have nothing to do with it. “Business” has nothing to do with it. Profit gain has nothing to do with it. You are buying it simply because you want a new toy! Hey… I would be much better off today if I had bought far less toys in my time!
