Hi All,

Took my new babies, oh and the kids, to the park this morning for a first run. All images are OOC with NO PP at all (other than resize and saved at 70 quality in Lightroom), should I be saving at 100% quality or is 70 ok?

Playing with the new gear the night before I put the exposure compensation up to +0.7 and forgot to change it back down again so some are a little overexposed.



It's only hot chocolate





Taken whilst on the other side of the ride, spinning around!!!! This was also the 24-120VR lens, not the 85.


If you are interested the rest are here: http://thefollans.smugmug.com/gallery/2938811#P-1-15

I am REALLY looking forward to getting to know this combo much better

Cheers.

you got one of the best lenses there have fun!

Thanks,

She was jumping up from behind a wall so I didn't have much time to focus and frame the shot. I found the 85 really fast to focus though, worked well.

Woody bloody nice kit, and kids to boot. The gallery is great with plenty of great memories, and all OOC.. amazing.

I found this one just adorable.

Thanks mate.

Yeah my wife loves that one as well I don't like the way her beannie is sitting,but hey for a family album I love it as well.

I was to busy looking at my new camera when I should have been thinking more about composition etc... with most of the images and as I said, it did not help that the exposure comp was set at +0.7

I am amazed at the quality of the images though, they were taken in JPEG as well, huge change for me who has only shot RAW from day one. I can see much less time behind the computer

very nice shots!!! and a solid demonstration of the 85 cream machine.

were you the person asking about the 70-200mm VR. You will love that just as much for this kind of shooting, and a lot less zooming with your feet!

Yep, that was me

That could be next on the list (it is a very long list though)

Thanks for the comments.

Sensational stuff Woody!

Beautiful kids, beautiful images and great memories.

Delightful!

It didn't take long to get the new gear working, great shots. great looking kids, must get their good looks from their grand parents.

Cheers Rick.

Beautiful shots for sure Great gear you got and you certainly know how to use it..

Great stuff Woody. You've made us all drool even more over that lens. Ooh the lust....

Now I know why my husband wants the 85mm 1.4! They are great shots.

Fantastic shots Woody. That does it, the S5 is my next lust.
Cheers
John

go on, let him get it... you get to use it as well

Thanks for all the other comments. I took some more today at a kids party but don't want to post them until I have the parents permission. In my opinion they are MUCH better than these ones

Cheers.
