Canon 40D - My new toy!

Well I just recieved my New Canon 40D last week and been playing with it since. Trying to get more familiar with the new features before I use it on a paid projects.



I got rid of all my old digital SLR (2x Canon 10D and Canon 20D) with my 40D I don't need multiple camera when I shoot an event. The only reason I have multiple cameras before is because I don't want get dust inside my sensor everytime I change lens. And that's the good thing about this 40D it has a built-In Sensor cleaning machanism that cleans it automaticaly everytime I turned On and Off.

Here's a video of the EOS Integrated Cleaning System on a EOS Canon 1D MARK III


I'm still not a guru on this camera so If you want to see more Review on this Camera go to DPREVIEW Website: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos40d/

My Own Version of Expodisc test result!

I was showing my photographer friend how Expodisc work so I used him as my model to show this demo that I mess up last workshop that I had at the beach.

Here's a better view of the result of using Expodisc for color correction through camera custom white balance.

This photos are not color corrected in PS this is straight from my camera and just resized and put together to show the difference.

The 1st picture was shot in Auto White Balance Setting as you can see it has some red and yellow color cast.

The 2nd picture was shot in Tungsten White Balance Setting this should have given as the right color because I used a Tungsten setting on a Tungsten light condition but still has some yellow color cast.

The 3rd picture was shot using the Custom White Balance created through Expodisc. all the colors are natural and true.

Equipment Used: Canon 20D shoot directly towards the model.
Lighting Condition: Tungsten Lamp in the Bathroom
Camera Setting: Manual, 32mm Focal lenght, f/2.8 Apperture, 1/50 sec shutter on ISO-200 speed.
