Canon 5D MK III - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

El Bimmer · 01-23-2013, 09:07 PM

I'm super excited as I got my new Camera today and currently exploring the buttons and learning the camera's information. I must admit that I am fairly new at taking pictures. With that said, I probably should've jumped into something cheaper, but the few pictures I took of my wife and kid came out flawless. I also took some random pictures. I did not adjust anything, just took pictures and downloaded them.

Next I will be purchasing a 10mm Canon Fisheye, Extended battery, backpack and a couple of other things.

Here are some pics I took:

As a matter of fact, I am. Today we have a surprise party for an MFest member, and what better time to take advantage and play with it. Thanks!

True, Thanks!

Congrats on the new camera!!!! Read up on white balance settings, and I think 10mm might be a bit too wide for a full frame body. Get out there and shoot away!!!!

TimZ · 01-25-2013, 02:19 PM

Congrats on the purchase!!! I have a 5d mkiii myself and absolutely LOVE taking pictures with it
I'm pretty amateur with it still

I love it as well. I've actually been reading up a lot of information that has helped me understand the camera and its functions. I am very glad I made this huge purchase!

the best thing you can do is just read more and more! In all honesty, I rather buy camera gear than mod my car... but then again I am a wedding photographer, so I'm biased haha!

Itsed65 · 01-26-2013, 01:28 PM

5D3 is a sweet piece of gear, and the 24-105 is a perfect all rounder lens for it. It can take amazing car photos. Experiment with different F stops for a shallower depth of field. Also, get off the green box mode and learn to shoot using RAW.

Most importantly, have fun!!! Photagraphy is addicting.

Thanks, I've taken a couple of pictures. My buddy wanted me to take pics of his Isuzu truck and I did.
