My very first test shots with Canon 40D. :clap
Not that ofthen you get to see an image #0001:-) :barb
Of course, I could not think of a better subject for My Very First 40D Shot than my Helen :-), who was kind enough to oblige. :wink
The album below allows an access to the originals, 10.1Mp jpegs.
Please only use it for educational purposes, no funny stuff. :deal
There are also two RAW files you can download my my Star*Explorer (http://www.starexplorer.com/) site, namely RAW1 (http://www.starexplorer.com/download/40D/IMG_0001.CR2) and RAW14 (http://www.starexplorer.com/download/40D/IMG_0014.CR2).

Looks great! :thumb

Wish I could afford a 40D but I'm in no hurry.
JUST got my 20D recently with only 480 clicks on it!
Has just shy of 900 now so it'll last me a while. :D

Sweet, Nik. Gratz!. The 40D looks like a great camera.

I just recently got my second 0001 out of my 5D after wrapping the file name counter.

I see now where the idea of Weekly Assignment #53: 5-3-1 (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=71824) came from. :D
My Photoshop could not recognize this kind of RAW. Of course. :clap

Thanks for posting these, Nik.

Look like pretty nice images for 800 ISO f3.5, though I haven't looked at the originals yet.

Looking forward to seeing some of your Glacier shots!

No "buyer's remorse" for me either!:D

Blessings,
Dane

Hey Nik, it's not fair using pretty young women! They always make the shot look better.:barb

Very nice.:thumb

Nah, not really. It *is* just a snapshot (although due to Shay's portrait training I seem to be able to take decent snapshots now:-)

I hear ya. That's why I got mine:-)
