My very first test shots with Canon 40D. :clap
Not that ofthen you get to see an image #0001:-) :barb
Of course, I could not think of a better subject for My Very First 40D Shot than my Helen :-), who was kind enough to oblige. :wink
The album below allows an access to the originals, 10.1Mp jpegs.
Please only use it for educational purposes, no funny stuff. :deal
There are also two RAW files you can download my my Star*Explorer site, namely RAW1 and RAW14.

    Looks great! thumb.gif

    Wish I could afford a 40D but I'm in no hurry.
    JUST got my 20D recently with only 480 clicks on it!
    Has just shy of 900 now so it'll last me a while. :D

    Sweet, Nik. Gratz!. The 40D looks like a great camera.

    I just recently got my second 0001 out of my 5D after wrapping the file name counter.

    I see now where the idea of Weekly Assignment #53: 5-3-1 came from. :D
    My Photoshop could not recognize this kind of RAW. Of course. clap.gif

    Thanks for posting these, Nik.

    Look like pretty nice images for 800 ISO f3.5, though I haven't looked at the originals yet.

    Looking forward to seeing some of your Glacier shots!

    No "buyer's remorse" for me either!:D

    Blessings,

    Congrats on the upgrade. Of course your daughter is so beautiful she'd make any camera look good.

    Nah, not really. It *is* just a snapshot (although due to Shay's portrait training I seem to be able to take decent snapshots now:-)
