"The Twilight Saga - No Moon"
And no whiny Bella, no Edward vs. Jacob, no werewolves or vampires of any kind.

No problem!

And if there's anyone out there who still needs to behold the awesomeness that is the 21.1-mp Canon 5D2, click this, yo. Word.

That's impressive. Just curious Todd, whats the tech data on that shot?

Dean, this was shot at 149mm with a Canon 70-200 f4 lens, 30 seconds @ f8, iso 200. It is impressively noise-free, although I had some hot pixels that needed to be spotted. I did lighten the rocks just a little bit. I had other shots with the rocks lighter, but then the city lights really blew out, so I figured it was easier to lighten the rocks ever so slightly (and I do mean slightly), than it would be to try to recover blown highlights.

FYI: I'm happy to send anyone on this forum a full resolution tiff file of this shot to look over. It'll have a usage-killing copyright symbol on it, but you'll still be able to see all the detail. Just send me your e-mail address and I can send a link to download the file via sendspace.com. Some of the distant city details are impressive as well. Just put CNM in the subject line of your e-mail so I know what it's about.

So what's on TV? I love the MkII too! I really need to get up into the monument too.

What a great way to blend nature and the hand of man! Impressive detail and beautifully exposed.

I like this shot, Todd. Your megapixel demo is pretty cool too.

Wow, this is cool! I was really surprised to find out that when I held my mouse over the pic it did not have a guy jumping out and screaming at the me. I'm actually a little disappointed in you for not doing that. :biggrin:
