Interesting girl. But this looks different from your other shots, Brian. Not sure what it is. The colours, the clarity of the light. Is the Canon 6D a digital camera? Almost looks HiDef, just a wee bit.

@Rob MacKillop Yes the 6D is a full frame Canon which came out a while ago.
Brian I also took note of the camera. Is it new to you? although I was aware you had some canon gear previously. Ive also looked online at the lens, not bad by all accounts and considering it is only £130 here. Canon it seems came up with another nifty , this time the nifty forty.
I think she noticed you though and her stalker

The choices some people make for such permanent adornments baffles me at times! A fine shot though, with a nice flow.

Thanks, Rob. Yes, the 6D is a digital camera. Its a full-frame camera. (I also have had for some years a 7D, which is a cropped sensor camera.) This particular image was originally underexposed due to the strong backlighting. I pumped up exposure and shadows in Lightroom and I was delighted how this one turned out. To me it is almost as if I had used flash for fill light. Thanks again, Rob.
Yes, Julian. The camera is new to me. So is the lens. (Canon is currently offering a $50 rebate and the local camera shop was having a "no tax" sale weekend so the lens was $149.99 out the door, which I thought was a decent bargain. Similar situation with the camera: Rebate of $300 plus no tax and free shipping from B&H in New York. Plus B&H provided a spare battery, a nice Canon bag, a 16 GB storage card and a nice monopod as part of the deal.) I needed another lens because the AF failed on my Canon 50/1.4 so now it is a manual focus only lens, which is a pisser I can tell you! It seems that 50/1.4 is susceptible to AF failure. A design flaw I have gathered after reading up on it. So far I quite like 40/2.8. It is one of those "pancake" designs which makes it very small and light. The 6D is relatively small too by Canon FF DSLR standards, so it's quite a nice combo.@Rob MacKillop Yes the 6D is a full frame Canon which came out a while ago.

Thanks, Pete. Yeah, these things blow my mind, too. I put it down to the impetuousness of youth.

An inteteresting image and very well performed and a nice combo. I just got back my "old " Panasonic G3 with a 20mm, (FF 40mm ) lens, and that's tiny, and no one takes me seriously. Come to think of it, no one does no matter what
