I lost a lot of money in Vegas...

organized a night
shoot on the strip with several models. I did not
take a camera to Vegas because I simply wanted to
travel light and hang out with people and network
more than I wanted to shoot anything. I did take a
video camera but that was it.
Everything was fine until Colin Michael handed me his Canon 5d to shoot a few frames with. I declined but he insisted. A canon camera body could really not be any more different than a Nikon body that I'm used to shooting with. I've been Nikon for years and years. Never been lured to the Canons at all. I finally got a bit used to the controls and I shot this image.
The 5d really felt like I was back to 35mm street photography because of it's full frame sensor. I fell in love with that camera and more so once he sent me the file today. The image above was shot at ISO 800 at 1.8 @ 40th of a second and pushed 1.4 stops in Bridge. I'm hooked. I think you all will be seeing me make the switch this year. It is going to take a lot of getting used to because of the ergonomics of the camera, or lack thereof. Nikon owns Canon on the controls but the image quality matched with the full frame has me hook line and sinker.
So thanks a lot Colin. A street dealer in the truest form. "Come on kid, the first few frames are free." BTW, Colin made the switch from Nikon to Canon as well. Jeez, I did lose a lot of money in Vegas.
Cheers,
Zack
