1DX, 500mm
Manual, Eval on grass, 1/1600 @ f/7.1, ISO 800
Post-production- 15in MBP, LR4, CS6, NIK Color Effex Pro 4
This is one of 20 bears we had slamming salmon in every direction. It was a day I and those with me will never forget. I am looking forward to photographing Spirit bears next month.
I was in waders with the camera on a tripod with just inches above the water. At times we had to be careful the splash wake would not swamp the gear.
After shooting now for 3 weeks with the 1DX I can say without a doubt the 1DX is the best AF camera I have eve used. The speed of acquisition is second to none, and the percentage of tack sharp images exceeds all cameras I have used in the past. ISO 800 can be used without hesitation and noise reduction. ISO 1600 is outstanding opening up a whole new world for this photographer. I do wish for the RED AF in AI Servo. The new ergonomics take a bit of getting used to coming from IDs 3 and MIV bodies. Those familiar with the 7D may find the transition easier. Much of what I do depends on capturing fleeting moments, switching camera settings in field from 5D3 to the 1DX requires a bit of thought. I have always had similar 1D bodies, making the transition seamless. I will most likely sell the 5D3 with grip and purchase another 1DX when funds loosen up again.
See you where there is light, or at the computer,
Chas in AK
