5D Mark II - First Shots

[Tom Wertman]

If you want to, I'm really interest in a shot of the interior of a church or something with consistent exposure and white balance so I would really like to see an example from you. Perhaps it will change my opinion

Feel free to peruse around any of the inside church weddings at www.tomwertman.com. I try to maintain consistent color throughout the ceremony and capture color in stained glass as well. Highlights can get blown out but not to the extent of these samples on this thread.

Here is one example.

I'm not sure what your idea is of over/underexposure

Too much lost detail in the white shirt in the first two shots is a good indicator of over exposure.

They're really all great!


I like the Cathedral Shot #5 a lot.


Also shot #1 and #2 are screaming out to be reprocessed in Black and white.


I would love to see you re-post them in B&W if you agree.

Thank you!

Also shot #1 and #2 are screaming out to be reprocessed in Black and white.

Good suggestion. I'll repost those when I have the chance.





Among other things, Daniel, Tom and others, thanks for your help regarding the 5D II's noise performance. This series was literally my first real outing with the new body, so, having come from a 40D background, I was out to see what the camera could really do. I will also point out that I forgot to include the exposure compensation information when uploading the pictures. The final shot of the rock formation is intentionally underexposed. That was the look I was going for (and please apply that rule of thumb to the rest of the set).



I'll also point out that all of my posted images are adjusted (exposure-,contrast and saturation-wise) to taste. My exposure levels may not be "right-on" - and many times I tend to push contrast (especially in the barn shot) - but if slight over/underexposure or increased contrast results in an image that matches the vision I had in mind when I took each shot, I'm happy. And so is my family when they see prints. []



Thanks again for your feedback and supplementary information.
