They only come out at night!

All of these images were captured at the Minnesota State Fair with my Canon EOS 7D, 10-22 and 24-105L. I used a tripod, mirror lock-up and cable release for these exposures, most shot at iso 100, f9 or f10 for exposures of 1-8 seconds. The last image was captured from the very top of the double Ferris Wheel with the 24-105L, hand-held, 1600 iso and 1/100 at f4.

More images can be seen here.

Thanks,
Jake

Awesome work!
What is your experience with 7D+10-22 ?

Jake · September 8, 2010

Awais - Thank you for the kind words.

I haven't had an extensive workout with the 10-22 and the 7D at this point. This was my first shoot with the combination after getting both the camera and lens back from Canon Professional Services (it needed calibration). I think it performed well during this shoot and certainly looks promising.

I like them all, but I love the movement and colors in #2.

Nice results

for your efforts.
Interesting about the calibration comment

More info?

Something dire
or simply minor?
Have been looking at the 7D
and also the 24-105 you mentioned using. Especially the 24-105 which has
stellar comments for B&H reviews. Only with wishes it went to f2.8

Think I can live with f4. Waiting for user reviews with the new 60D

Thanks Michael!

Simple micro adjustments didn't yield acceptable results. Since receiving it back from CPS it has been working great! First time body w70-200 f2.8 and 100-400L. Second time was the camera body w/10-22 and 24-105L Overall, I'm not terribly excited about the results with the 24-105 and Canon EOS 7D. Click here to see some more results from the EOS 7D.
