My initial test flight. A range of locations. What works, or not, for me so far, using Canon, Nikon and Tamron glass. Aperture and ISO can be a challenge on occasions, as is critical focus with long lens. A tripod, monopod or shoulder brace, is now part of the kit.

Edit. FC2, 3 way cc, MBL

Glass. Nikon 50 mm F 1.4 @ F2, Nikon 55 mm F3.5 macro, Tamron/Canon 24 200 F3.5 6.3. macro.

Lights at Tavern on the Green, Central Park. Using a stencil aperture.

First test of Canon 5D HD video. I read in the manual that you can take stills while shooting a movie and I tried that at the finish, but it leaves an annoying freeze complete with fake photo sound on the movie file.

Also, given the high def, you should always use a tripod. About half of these are hand-held and they're shaky even with an IS lens

A little bored and wanted to test out the 5DII under REALLY low lighting (ISO 3200). Not much thought put into this - just shot and hacked together in under 30 minutes. YES, the lights are hot... I didn't feel like unpacking my lights or softboxes, and was way too lazy to do any other light modification.
