Amazon.com: Polaroid IR720 72mm Infrared X-Ray Filter: Camera & Photo

Ordered this just to see if the film infrared can be duplicated in any way...the photoshop doesnt look like true infrared. I'll let you guys know what i think of t :tup:

I got that filter a few weeks ago, just havent used it yet, to many lens problems.

BTW, I exchanged the 85mm 1.8 lens for another that will arrive tuesday. Hopefully it will be better. Canon wanted me to pay shipping for the warranty repair, so I said heck no and opted to use my return policy instead in hopes it was just a bad batch. Also heavily weighing dropping some cash on a 7D :)

:tup: i'm really happy with my 7D. I used to consider myself advanced amateur but now back to just amateur, way out of practice.

Nice shot of a theif.

I bought that same one. I've tried it a few times, but the weather has been mostly cloudy and overcast. Not a whole lot of leaves on the trees yet, so I'm not really seeing a whole lot of Wood's effect. I have noticed that you can do a lot of cool black & white photo's with it. They come out really contrasty once you desaturate.

On another note, I bought a set of Hoya filters to replace my cheap polarizer and ND filter.

:tup: :iagree: on all fronts.

The Polaroid IR was 1/4 the cost of the Hoya. If it works I will upgrade to the Hoya but I am not expectin anythign spectacular...sure do wish winter would go on it's grumpy way.:shakes head:

My son Colin shot this at my Dad's memorial service last weekend:

Just thought this was a good photo of my girlfriend snorkeling in Maui :tup:

lol, it took me a minute before I noticed the shark.

It's like one of those gay tests. If you notice the shark...

I know... this girl needs some help from the liquefy tool.
I need to let go of reality when it comes to my editing :rolleyes:

Got a 7D on the way!! Omg, I'm excited!

:tup:

I have a 7D as well. You will love it. What lenses are you pairing it with?

Check out the Sigma 30mm designed for crop sensors. I loved that lens for the week I used it.

I actually have that lens. I use Sigma 30 and Canon 85 with my 7D. :)

85 1.8 is all I use besides my 18-55. The 85 is front focusing on me a bit, but so has every other lens I put on my current t2i... weak sauce. So we'll see what happens, been wanting a 7D for a long time and hopefully it was my t2i that was out of calibration. If not, a simple lens cal on the camera will do the trick. Plus, the silent shooting mode on the 7D for my external flashes + live view + my nexus tablet + dslr controller = awesome! Can't wait to do that!

I use two main lenses with my 7D -- 24-70 2.8L and 70-200 2.8 L IS II.

They are both great lenses and very versatile.

:tup:and when he upgrades he is going to pass those on to his new freind BC at a great price!! ;) ;)

Hmm...

I am pretty sure these are keepers-for-life -- like my Z's.

I really want to buy a 24-70 2.8L II but need to pay bills and save up first! :D

How do you upgrade a 70-200 2.8L IS? :roflpuke2:

70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, I suppose.....although you're not really getting much of an upgrade. This is def a keeper lens unless onzedge decides to go all hipster and trade all his gear in for a Leica.

edit: nm, it is an IS II

I have the IS II -- there is no upgrade. :icon17:

I hate you all.





The end.









:tup: where would we be without hopes and dreams. Eh?!

Tooooooooo emotional :wtf2:

:shakes head: you are mean.

I might eventually upgrade my EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM to the f/2.8 version that onzedge has.
You'll be first to know this time! :tiphat:

:tiphat: I'll be ready :tup:

Hanging out at the airport watching some government and military planes doing touch-and-gos today:

Got my 7D the other day, going out for the first time tonight with it! Can't wait!

Sweet! :tup:
You'll love how stupid fast the shutter is if you're shooting action. Having switched to a 5D MkII, I kind of miss the different focus zones and other things you can customize on the 7D.

Is the cross point AF better than single point from your experience?

I'm always using the cross type focus point.
I don't have any concrete examples of where one is better than the other... just the "on paper" data.
One of the focus point settings I really liked for the 7D was where you could select one point as your main focus point, but it would also give consideration to the adjacent points.

Had great success tonight with the new camera! It was definitely a worthy upgrade over my old, worn t2i. I'll post some shots later on.

Cool. I love my 7D. I'm renting a second one this weekend for a wedding reception. Thought about renting a 5D MKiii, but thought familiarity would be better.

Did a little pre-reception learning/testing.

Nice work!

I'm torn between a 7D and the 5Dmkii...
