hi john how did you find the 24-70 compared with the 24-105 IS? I have read and heard that many of the 24-70’s were very soft
“S” glass wont work on a full frame…the EF and L series work on Full frame …I have read that S series will only work on a FF if you throw on and extension tube…
With Daves help I have headed down this path ..New 70-200lF4 IS should arrive over the coming weeks and already have the 17-40lf4 and 100 macro . It is well known thet the 70-200 f4 is the sharpest of this series ….the macro is sharp as well …but I long for 16-35l but not the price …seems I am shooting more and more in Dim light …but I am also considering the 35l f1.4, 24-70l f2.8 and 135 f2 …”L” series rocks …looking at a nifty fifty (50 1.8) last night I noticed it is chock full of Dust and headed to the bag of crap lenses. All are used on a 40d but would not consider a “s” lens with all the full frames popping up.. Its the “invest in Glass and upgrade the body” scenario for me … here are some examples and some taken with the stock 18-55 on a 350d
17-40l (excuse the vignetting it was done in lightroom)
100macro
18-55 350d
I have the 40d …great camera ..I always wanted a full frame so I have purchased non “s” lenses ….and have been waiting for the 5d upgrade …I think for 18months or so now …For $1200 AU odd it is a good buy at the moment and not to be sold short.
I guess the best way to evaluate a Camera is to list my dislikes …Hmm …Its not full frame ……hmmm not 21 mpxl
Nice pic but very close to the work of …Anderson …David not Andy that is ….DA does use the tilt and uses it very well……cmon Dave blow us out of the water ……
my clipping was pretty ordinary …i will look at softening the mask …I got the reflection right on the green one though the black was a bit cruddy
the Abel ad is on Midcurrent and their site ….
AL
though only new to photography I think Abel used photoshop for the reflective Abel ad …very simple ..
here is a rough try from me …edges are ordinary but you get the idea

Hi Zac …I have a few slide shots on the Owens probably toolate now though…Is that the Owens near Mammoth Lakes ?

Just palyed with a 14bit RAw file from a 40d taken @10mb and used DPP to export as a 16 bit file ….wow apart from the 60mb file it produced the image looks amazing in comparison with the original…..
Sorry Guys but I See Capstick in similar way …I read some of his books and It painted a picture of a tough , rugged and hard man built on years of experience in the african bush hunting exotic game and beyond …I then saw an interview many years ago with Capstick and a local hunting guide in Africa …. they were alongside a river and in the middle of the interview when a hippo Jumped from the river some 100m away (But still in shot) ..Capstick shit (can I say shit here?) himself ,Ran and jumped into the back of a truck …the Guide stood there and simply shook his head …in a fashion that expressed the aussie term “you idiot!” all these images of the rough rugged and hard man living in the bush in fear of nothing went straight out the window …………….. :-/
Anyhow great images I had a look at your site and was inspired ….more please

Eric I think you are right …I have teh 40d and have just upgraded to LR1.2 the RAW files seem …not washed out but overexposed ? think that would best describe them ….They look 100 times better in the canon software ..i did not think there could be a diff but there is …….Sill cant view sRaw in LR wonder if they will develop a patch /……….
AL
Yeah they pull like stink …and they stink literally ….man that picture looks like its out west or something …rotten mirror carp as well….Come up to the swampy and I will get you onto some 20 pounders this summer ….I will get a few pics from work and post them …carp in their thousands
Start Flapping DA 🙂
I am trying to get a trip together next year back to AK for a few weeks ..CI for a Bonefix then onto …LA…and AK …
