Well, it’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, and not only are colors on the trees changing, so are gas prices!
This is one of the first “real world” shots that I’ve taken with the new 7D. And it say that I’ve been impressed with the new body is an understatement. The colors are amazing, the viewfinder is big and bright (100% is so sweet!).
But with all this new power, it also means that I’ve got much more work to do to learn all the options with the new body and to that end, I’ve actually been reading the manual. In part to find out where my trusted functions from the 30D have moved to on the new body, but also to see where the new options are and to think about how I can use them. I’ve got a few shoots coming up and I hope that I can get at least half as efficient with this body as I am with my 30D within the next few months.
Gladwell suggests 10,000 hours to mastery, I would say that it would take about that many frames to master a body – I’m hoping though that the number goes down… 5K to master my 7D?
