Cedar Point in The Fall (2009)

First time out with the Canon 7D. Not at all happy with most of what I shot, including some of the pieces I included here, but I feel like I learned quite a bit. Many of my issues came from wanting to manually set the ISO most of the time. I wrote about it in my blog, so I won't repeat it here:

Lenses included: 24-105mm f/4L IS (LOVE that lens), 50mm f/1.4, 70-200mm f/4L.

As I mentioned in the blog post, it looks like ISO 1600 is the high end of what I find tolerable. Higher gets a little messy, especially at 1080p.

nice blog and video. i'm in the same situation, just learning. 24-105 works fine with IS except when u want smooth camera motion. it starts jumping.. for wide, low light, hand held, probably EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS is the best solution. 24-105 is good all around lens.

I've gotta say, I'm not comfortable with the 17-55. Lots of complaints about build quality, and I wouldn't be able to use it on my 5D.

ya, it's not perfect. but all wide IS lenses are for crops. all are cheap made. 24-105 is the widest IS L lens. and you get only 24/4. which becomes 37/4 on 7d. the other options is tripod or some other sort of support.
