straight-out... - a photo on Flickriver

straight-out...

            Not bad for coming straight out of camera. Pre-rotated shot and trimmed for a 16:9 and still 6400px wide. Effective focal length of 640mm on crop sensor. Spectator vantage point 8'-10' away from the fence I had to shoot through. Glad it was overcast :P

I generally do not put full size images up here but figured 'why not' for anyone that wanted to see what the camera can do.

Admittedly, there was an issue with focusing that was not really revealed (that I could not fix) until after this event so I had a helluva time with this camera. I have since (I think) rectified the matter but have not had a chance to really test it. Was not really a fan of the 400 f2.8 mkIII and how it focused. Much prefer the way the mkII focuses but could have also been user-error. Ok, likely was user error. Note to self: Don't show up to a major event with brand new kit that you've never tested. Still got hundreds of keepers though.

I also learned that I cannot underexpose by 2/3 to 1 stop as I would like to with this sensor because it's too dark. Dynamic range is definitely better than the 7DmkII but the dark areas are a little to dark. My concern with that is I will have to compromise on the highlights a little bit because the darks are so dark and not so sure I want to do that. Nevertheless, I figured I'd put-up what I got straight off the camera because for the price of this camera (and quality glass), it's pretty darn good.

There is no editing done to this other than the crop and converting the RAW to RGB. Settings like contrast, sharpness were set in-camera so what I shot is what I got.

Definitely a little crunchier for my tastes with the noise than what I'm used to getting from my 5D mkIV but overall, decent. Jury is still out though on whether the 90D is viable for me to use. Not a fan of crop sensors and how they cut-into/trim the perspective-feel/look compared to a full frame. Time will tell after some more testing and using the 300mm f2.8 and what I can get.
