R.E.D

As mentioned on a previous post, I set up this shoot to test drive the newly added Canon 5D Mark III in my gear bag, but when packing the day before, I couldn’t resist to pack my Hasselblad H4D40 and the new HC 120mm F/4 II Macro lens. I wanted to see every details.

Along with the Canon 5D Mark III, I packed the EF 85 f/1.2 L II and decided that the shoot will be a beauty shoot so there was really no need for zoom lens or other focal length.

At the studio, I started setting up and hanged around waiting for my first model to finish her hair and make up (thanks to Amanda and Jessica for an awesome job), I though I’d click a few frames for some BTS (Behind The Scene) archives.

Man, I had this camera for 3 days and only started shooting with it really for a … BTS. I must admit that I was a bit hesitant about the camera (it’s more of a 7D Mark II for me than a 5D Mark III) but I even like the shutter sound of it .. 😀

I personally found that there are so many options in the menu and it takes sometimes to change from one set of menu to another … Haven’t really tested the Canon 5D Mark III to its limits, I noticed through the viewfinder that he buffer size is somewhat … 10 RAW frames …

I haven’t burnt big frame rates yet but from a buffer of 21 RAW frames on a Canon 5D Mark II to a 10 RAW frames buffer on the Canon 5D Mark III is a shocker …

Anyway, check out some of the BTS images taken with the Canon 5D Mark III on my previous post, here are some taken with the H4D40.

Thanks to the models: Brittney Visser, Erica Foster, Jariah Travan and Melissa McQuade.

  1. 3rd, 4th and 5th from the bottom are my favourites. I love the drama of the lighting and the overall feel of the shot.

    As a more general point, I’m not sure the R.E.D logo is doing your images justice. maybe consider fading the watermark, maybe a different font? Something more subtle so it doesn’t compete with the vibrancy of colours in your images.
