  • Duane Hart replied

    Thanks – Yes at 28mm they were right on top of me. The EWA Marine bag worked well keeping the camera dry – while I got soaked.

    Really great action shot. Was it flash lit?

  • Duane Hart replied

    Hi.
    Yes no flash was used. There is a video I also made with the 5d of the race starts can be seen Here

    Now that’s what I call asking the 5dmk2 to perform! ISO 2000 and no discernable noise.

    Sorry didn’t think to read the details ISO 2000 and its smooth like that..is the high res version that crisp.

  • Duane Hart replied

    Hi – yes no noise now at 2000 asa with the 5d – I used to shoot everything at 100-400 asa but not now. I normally always manually shoot, but the light kept changing during this start so had to shoot the stills and video all on AV.
    This image is full frame and not cropped so yes the original is very crisp.

    I just had to look, when I saw the thumbnail. How interesting. I can see why you got soaked but what a shot!

    What a remarkable capture. Tapping into one’s creativity is my quest this year.
    You think that one can create oneself? Must watch your video!
