I missed posting this one the other day, so thought I would quickly post it now!
(Equipment Used: Natural light, shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens)
Watch for a larger sneak peek of the adorable Miles (see below) tomorrow!
As I mentioned, in the post below, I have updated my blog to become my blogsite, which has been a bit of a process, so I’m a bit behind in my photography work, but I just have to share this sneak-sneak peek of Miles, whom I photographed last Friday. Hope to have the larger sneak peek up next week! (Equipment Used: Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and my beloved Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)
I was very excited, the other week, to get the call from Henry’s Camera that my new Canon EOS-1D MarkIV body had arrived. They have been in short supply as priority was given to Olympic photographers. This is one amazing machine! I did a family shoot with it last Friday, and am extremely pleased with the results—watch for the sneak peek of that session soon! (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)
The first weekend, with the camera, was dedicated to testing it, seeing the results I could achieve and the type of focusing it could nail. It definitely focuses in lower light/lower contrast situations better then my old Canon EOS-1D MarkIII did. Is it perfect, no, but I am very pleased!
That Saturday the kids and I went to my mother’s for dinner. Here’s a shot of Milo (Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and Canon 85 f1.2L lens):

Kids and I brought dessert, do you remember this one? Usually prepared as a log, but I mixed it up a bit (shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
Yum!
Of course I have to post some new shots of Alice, as she is great to practice on! Is it any wonder I can get any work done with such cutness? She loves hanging out with me while I work (she is sleeping on my lap as I type this!), the printer spot is fine, but she blocks my screen in the other position! (Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 85 f1.2L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
I pulled out the macro lens for some shots, look at those amazing blue eyes! (Following three images shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
The next two were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and Canon 85 f1.2L lens, the first one at 1/100, f1.2, ISO 1600. Very impressed with the high ISO capabilities of this camera, no issues with an image shot at 1600:
This is a spot that Alice loves in the dining room, at the floor by the rad, nice and cozy. Shooting wide open completely blurs the legs of the chairs/table in front of her, giving this cool effect to the floor in front of her. Shot at 1/125, f1.4 (s/b 1.2!), ISO 2500. Definitely getting more noise/grain in the image at ISO 2500, it’s useable, but could be pushing it depending on final use of the image:
Finally just a couple of Alice on my bed, shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 85 f1.2L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite:
Stay tuned for the sneak peek of the adorable toddler I photographed last week!
P.S. Regular visitors may have noticed that I’ve changed my site/blog. There is no longer a ‘website’, per say, but my redesigned ‘blog’ is now my website. It still contains all the information as was previously contained on both the website and the blog. I hope you like it! 🙂
