Images from the 1DX.
Love this thing thus far. The colors, detail and overall image quality is better than anything I have ever used, and I can't wait for future shoots with it.

Evidently the 1DX wasn't good enough... Good for you bro!

[Cmizzle]

Damn i didn't even look at that. Damn!

[reddogphoto]

Must be for doing "studio" work, lol.

It honestly wasn't...when compared to the 5D II it was not worth the $5400 price difference. Could handle nice and high ISO, and shot fast, but that was all...so I kept the 5D II, and traded in the 1dx+$400 for the h3D 39+ 35 3.5 lens. Focus is tough to nail, LCD screen sucks, can't shoot past ISO 400, but the IQ, sharpness, dynamic range & control, colors are nice, and the 3x4 view is radical and works well for the portraits I have in mind. Worst case sell it for more than I paid and go back to the 1DX

4, 7, 8 on that senior shoot.

[Little_PB_Newb]

you'll never push past around ISO 800 without some serious noise issues on any digital medium format currently on the market, definitely meant for completely controlled lighting situations.

[p8ntcheck45]

Two from today. My white lightning stopped working, hopefully nothing serious, so had to use my bare ringlight

i wholly approve of the switch, if only because of the medium.

The image we are looking for needs to be shot from directly above and feature a model that has a "vintage" or "retro" style.
-1950's pin-up look (lots of make-up, curvy body, pin-up hairstyle)
- matching demographic of attached reference shot
- laying down
- blonde
- wearing a bikini (preferably retro looking)
- full body shot
Sample image had a bright red background like this...would never be my first choice haha

[PbLoSeR05]

Definitely reminds me of



I'd say well done

[p8ntcheck45]

Thanks...that composite was a *****.
ambient lit portraits with the H3D...had to push the ISO to a whopping ISO 400...little too dark for this set but lesson learned, shoot earlier in the day! My 5D II was dead so I had to work with what I had. Lots of limiting factors, but happy with the quality.
