Stance Fever was decent, I don’t think I’ve been before, but I love pretty much any event they put on at Rockingham. Unfortunately the pits weren’t open at this one, but there were still some great cars in attendance. A chilled out show and the perfect opportunity to put the 6D Mk2 through it’s paces.
The picture above is from a little after show shoot I did with Jay, so I’m not posting the others until his set goes live, but it’s a taster. I love the camera, just little things like the high res screen gave me so much more confidence in what I was shooting, it was so clear and easy to see if I’d got the shot. The screen on the 5D Mk1 is ancient so most of the time it’s guess work, but I’d grown used to it. The auto focus was a little hit and miss, but I didn’t realise this until I got home to edit. This was just down to the settings the previous owner had set up which I’ve tinkered with and think I’ve got it nailed now.
The sensor is fantastic, there’s so much more detail in the images, and editing is way more flexible, I’m finding the pictures are much more forgiving and the limitations (or lack thereof) of how far you can push the highlights or pull back the shadows are crazy, it’s actually made me feel like I need to step up my editing game, I realise now how much more I can do now.
In short, I still need to experiment more, I’ve played with video too but I feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface with it. I can’t wait to really get stuck in with it.
