for the perfect wide angle lens, i picked up peta’s canon 5d and had a play with it this morning.
it is so strange to observe the subtle variations in images made on a camera different from your own.
while it is the photographer who makes the image, the digital camera like film is an integral factor to the look of a shot no matter how slight.
so, these images: canon 5d ~ 24 – 70mm lens ~ ISO 400
top: 1/125s ~ f/3.2
bottom l: 1/200s ~ f/3.2
bottom r: 1/320s ~ f/3.2

what did you think of the 24-70?
I thought you were just a great photographer … I see now that it's just the Nikon. (totally kidding, these rock).
don't you dare switch. you're my sanity check.
no way…i am a nikon girl for sure!
The first one, Clover looks like a little angel who just fly down from heaven. beautiful shot.
I'm not at the point where I can see subtle differences like that yet, but I love that shot of your boy. That just screams BABY! to me =)

That was my thought too Jill: Clover looks like an angel here … lovely.
clover looks tottaly georgous here….and i love kierans expression
Clover’s picture like the other ladies commented she looks like an Angel. It’s so beautiful and even on my iPhone it had impact. See you just proved that it’s the person behind the camera that makes the picture. I love your pictures even if you won’t leave the dark side
gorgeous pics. so what variations have you noticed with the canon? I've never played with a nikon before, always a canon girl so i am just curious as to what I am missing
the colors and grain are different.
Raised baby eyebrows FTW! Look at those two….
I sometimes pick up my friends Canon and it is so strange to shoot with for me. I'm, like you, a Nikon girl all the way. I got my first Nikon DSLR 7 years ago and have since built a career using Nikon only – I do have a few old Canon 35mm's though. I like how shooting with a Canon feels, but when it comes to editing and uploading, I will always go Nikon. Plus the ISO on Nikon's always blow my mind.
You did well though – retaining your own style with a different camera. Mark of a genius? eh?
I was in the USA for the past week, so it's nice to come back to loads of updates from you. Inspiring me to get some of my recent stuff on the blog and stop being so blog-lazy. Love it!
I just recently starting checking your blog out and find it absolutely hysterical. Thanks for sharing! Ps. I will be watching House Hunters International on Sunday (saw your post on FB). I am a fan of HH =)
Great Pics! Wish I could take as good of pictures! Found you on Top Baby Blogs!
They have such cute expressions! Clover does look like an angel and Kieran's raised eyebrows show a look of wonder. Hubby would probably be able to know if a picture was taken with a Nikon or a Canon. Shot Nikon before the company bought Canons, but he would buy a Nikon DSLR, if he could get one. He still has the Nikon lenses.
the 24-70mm is my favourite lens… i LOVE it! i love the softness and washed out colour and your b+w conversions are beautiful.
