Update

This is a quick update on a couple of items I have been blogging about. This is the office project and the Canon 5D Mark II.

OFFICE

It really is in process but that has slowed to a crawl. The walls are ready for paint, the surface top for the work station is in hand, and construction of the work support will follow the painting. With Christmas and travel and all this will slip to mid January timeframe but photos will follow.

CANON 5D MK II

I took this little baby out to Maryland this past week and all I can say about the low light capabilities is that I am simply amazed at its performance. I am really liking the 4000 and 5000 ISO for interior photos at f/4-6. We spent some time down around The US Capital and the Jefferson Memorial and I will get some images up here in next week. I am kind of stuck with my laptop for the RAW files as I have Elements 6 on it and CS3 on my iMac. For the purposes of the 5D Mk II, Adobe Camera Raw 5.2 will only install on CS4 or version 7 for Windows on Elements. I do have the updated Version 2.2 of Lightroom so I will be able to convert the files there. Yes I know I could have just shot JPEG but I simply loose too much dynamic range from the RAW files. Some of these RAW files in the higher ISO settings are running 31MB each. Now that is starting to put a dent in the memory game.

That covers today, so stay warm and dry today.
