great :-)

Thanks!

thank you very much Ali, very much appreciated.

mooi moooi :-)

Very impressive, i like the shot and the crop you made.

Just some thoughts from my personal experiences with cameras and lenses. The combination may show the flaws of the lens more, higher pixel density and maybe a less sharp lens. You may get better results at the 5dmkII ( as we clearly have with the 100-400)
Some i noticed myself with apsc in comparison to fullframe is they tend to loose detail fast (get 'muddy') when its less exposed or underexposed. With the 7d for me the real iso is 1/3 to 2/3 higher than given by canon. Expose to the right they call it. Our results got better (less muddy and less grain)  when overexposing. The 7d proved able to correct some overexposure still at these settings, not sure how the 50d does..

There is software that combines multiple shots to 1 higher res image I think you can find a description at digital outback site. Maybe interesting for this kind of shooting :-)

Anyway, its nice to experiment and see how to get best out of it :-)

cheers, hans

a bottle a day keeps the doctor away?

you must have some dutch roots, with that glasses.. we say one has looked to deep in his glass..

your shot is flawless, i am impressed.

Ik zie, ze mag niet harder dan 50.....

Hi Pnina, thank you very much. Its such interesting area to visit, and also the carnival makes it very special. We made a blog of our travel, lvphotoexpeditions.blogspot, fill in the rest (the www and the .com) coz PN doesnt accept it. There you find also links to videos of the carnival, which i think you will enjoy a lot, as it is such pure event there.

The 5dmkII is a very good cam, and i am quite happy with the clean sharp results that come from it. I guess you followed the same way of thinking, for using it in theater with high iso and resolution as i did last year :-)
