Quoting the Grinch there – I am SO very disappointed that I seem to have gotten a lemon of a 5D mark II. Ugh! I got the thing because it is known for shooting at very high ISO’s (like an indoor shoot) without much noise at all – this is handy for things like newborn shoots using available light indoors and shooting at sunset or in very shady areas – but MY new camera was super noisy, and the focus was all screwed up! I am sending it back to Adorama for a new one – at least they were nice about it.
It made me feel better last night to welcome my dad and stepmom home from Nepal – they had a wonderful trip and it sounds like a truly beautiful and fascinating place. I am just glad the Maoist rebels that shut down the roads decided to leave their bus alone (after a thorough check) because they were foreigners – whew! Olivia could not get enough of playing with her PopPop this morning before they left for home – snapped some shots indoors before they left (note the God-awful noise)…
And one nice one by our pretty tree that’s in bloom – note here that though I shot it at f/3.5, and they were almost on the same plane, only my dad is in focus…
Oh well – thanks for your visit (and the cool souvenirs), guys! I will keep you posted on how the new 5D treats me – in the meantime I am snuggling back up with my reliable 40D (and feeling a little guilty for having cheated on it….)
