Tranquility

A shot from my testing of the Canon EOS 6D body I picked up last month. I had been shooting it like I had been shooting my Canon EOS 5D Mark III for the past few years, but it turns out, as is often the case, that the newer camera deserves its own unique approach. There's no substitute for performing your own exhaustive research on your new cameras, so you can best integrate any extended capabilities into your workflow. My Bodie, Eastern Sierra and White Mountains/Bristlecone Pines workshop customers will be getting an earful in the next 2 weeks.

Even though the 6D is only about a year newer than the 5D Mark III, I couldn't do this with the older model. The 6D model is now a couple of years old, so I have very high expectations for what Canon can accomplish with the rumored 5D Mark IV model that may be coming this fall!

  1. +Charles Carrigan The 6D offers less noise at high ISO settings, and more dynamic range. The Milky Way has been no problem since 2009 and the 5D Mark II, but reflections are much less bright than the direct view, so a reflection shot like this was challenging on the older models. (Some photographers simply faked reflections in Photoshop.)

  2. +Kamala Venkatesh There's a surprising amount of depth of field available in ultra-wide shots, even at wide apertures required for night images. I focused a little past the grass for maximum depth of field. This was shot at 16mm, so the exposure was 30 seconds to minimize star drag in the sky.
