Low light shots with the 6D..

ISO between 8000-12800 Canon 17-40L F4 lens..

Overall it was a good buy for the price..

The wireless features work well for me. I like to be able to see the shots on my MAC as I take them and it works well for that purpose. The remote shooting with the EOS app is kinda whack but I don't do that anyway.

I never really liked my 17-40 on the 7D but I havent really taken it off.
My 85 1.8 and 50 1.4 are killin it on both cameras so I'm not concerned with those. My 70-200IS II 2.8 is already a beast but I'll post some of those shots as well. The $2500 I paid for that lens made it easier to go with the 6D over the 5DMKIII. My boy has the 5DMKIII and we ran shots side-by-side..No one we showed pics to could tell a difference in overall quality of the shot. I'll probably keep both cameras for a while as they both have pros and cons.

I did a shoot yesterday and used 2 580EX II Speedlites triggered wirelessly for fill light with the 17-40 on the 6D and the shots look clean as fuck.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the info, its much appreciated.

Thanks for the explanation. I dont agree or disagree with what you're seeing. I just ask that because I feel like each photographer has a certain taste/style so when I see things like "over edited" or anything like that it kinda throws me off, meaning; If thats the artists way of presenting their photographs then I dont think there can be any such thing as "over editing"...and it goes back to exactly what you said at the end; personal taste.

You are right, it was a bad choice of words especially since I don't want to criticise anyone I could have found better ones to describe what I meant in the first place.

I tried the 365 project lol, failed miserably... didn't think i'd be too busy working and going to school full-time. Wishful thinking :hurt:

Can't wait to develop these prints and see what I come up with.
Mine is still collecting dust smh I'm lacking some inspiration at the moment but I should just kick myself outside with my cam in hand.
Did you develop those prints?

clean ones!

Can you shoot and instantly see your photo on the monitor on your computer with the wireless function? I didn't know that, that's a pretty cool feature.

Ya thats exactly what it does. I think its a good feature. I don't mind that it only transfers jpeg files and not RAW files. I just use it to view the shots right after to get a better feel for the pic instead of looking at the small screen…when using my home setup I can hook it up wirelessly straight to a TV.. I think the wireless transmitter for the 5D, 7D etc. is like 600-700 by itself...

Inspiration is everywhere bro, just stand and stare at a subject from 3 different angles. It's time I'm lacking. I think about the visual arts on the daily, in class, at work.. I have a mental list of things I want to shoot. Not yet, I have like 3 exposures left lol.

Definitely, only time you shoot raw is if you want total control over your images (color editing/tones etc)... you wont be able to shoot much unless you have a fast and big sd/cf card. Plus you need special software to convert raw images.
