Church with the 5d2

I got to test out the 5d mark 2 tonight at my church's easter vigil mass. My first vigil was when i converted to Catholicism 9 years ago, and ive gone to every one since (mostly because my dad is part of RCIA and he has to be there). Last year i took photos, and this year they were excited to have me back. It was harder then i expected, it was very fast paced and people were in my way alot, thus not so good pics. The camera works great too. ISO 6400 is the greatest invention ever, and everyone needs to invest in a camera that can do it.

Panorama

ISO 6400 FTW!!!

4 days until full frame goodness

India Night

Tonight i shot Vinay performing at India Night tonight. It was part of his gift for a GD project we had to do. His performance was really cool and interesting. I was shooting at iso 3200 (NOISE) and now there is a ton of jpeg artifacting these pictures, but oh well. I wish i had my new camera for this shoot, it would have come out so much better, but ill have to wait one more week.

Ebertfest fanatic

I went out to Urbana today to take pictures of this 90 year old lady who has been to every Ebertfest. She was extremely nice and it was fun to shoot her and bust out some off camera lighting. Sadly, the story is not gonna run in the paper, and it seems whenever i take portraits of someone with off camera lighting, it flops, argh.

Concert from friday

Last friday night on break i was bored and decided to go to the Rosaline show. It was pretty good, im kinda bummed i missed the first few bands. I shot Rosaline, Cadence, and Dorians Decay. All of em were good and you should check em out. Im happy with my results considering the show was in a cafeteria.
