Titleist Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I will say this, MAD props to Canon USA. After coming back from a Magpul class the TSA pulled me aside and searched my carry on. After searching me they pulled my 5DMk2 out, and dropped it full force on the ground, denting the side casing, breaking the AE motor and focus assembly, etc. basically the camera was trashed. I sent it in to Canon USA last tuesday, got their on friday. Last night I get a notification it was all repaired, will be back tomorrow, and the repairs were FREE. For what was negligence and obviously impact damage they still fixed it. *fruitcage* YEAH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 If they didnt, the TSA should of had to pay for it. Did your heart drop when you saw it fall haha? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Pretty much. However the TSA hates paying for damaged equipment, and I've heard often times they'll just give you a waiver for a free flight instead of stepping forward to acknowledge they screwed up. Fingers crossed the camera comes back okay tomorrow. Edited February 9, 2010 by Titleist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Fingers crossed man, I hope everything comes back perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I don't care if I beat up the externals of my cameras, as I usually pass them down to family members when I'm done with them. But if the photo quality takes a hit that's when I flip mah *suitcase*. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah thats what cameras are designed for so I see what you mean I always baby my stuff because if my body breaks I wont be taking pics for a few months untill I can get a new one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yeah thats what cameras are designed for so I see what you mean I always baby my stuff because if my body breaks I wont be taking pics for a few months untill I can get a new one Well, the 5D is back. All systems go. Still some dust under the LCD. But that's purely cosmetic. Annoying? A tad. But the photos it takes are still top notch, and frankly no use getting bent out of shape considering it's the PHOTOS that matter, and you replace bodies but keep your lenses. Now I just need a computer to actually ya know...work with the photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hahah yeah I am glad it came back in good working condition! It would of been a real bummer if there was internal mechanical issues. Do you have a flickr or website with your magpul training pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I have yet to put up the last class photos. I'm waiting on a new computer. But my flickr is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/isaac_marchionna/ Again, I wish the LCD was completely clear, but whatever, the LCD is a tool to review shots. And frankly this camera will be replaced in 1-2 years anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The End Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 For those of us that have iPhones I just discovered that there is a free Photoshop app that's pretty cool for playing around with Picts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhutJP Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Nice pics, well taken. Cool cars too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Why thank you I had alot of people say they didnt like the angles. What do you guys think about the angles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yubbermax Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I don't like the angles too much. It should be much more flat and easier to see the cars. Also I think you should include a bit more around the cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 These are just my favorite pics, I have lots more around the car on my flickr. But flat images are very boring, using angles show off certain curves and give it a different look, mainly an "agressive" look which I like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 anlges and close ups are good, as these are, but not so many togetehr as it overwhelmes the eyes and they glaze over. just use them sparingly, otherwise theyre good! did a bit of work with a commercial car tog a while ago.. lets just say the so-called boring shots sell...

ChrisWPA Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Ic what you mean Most professional automotive shots (besides straight up front and back shots) are almost 90% angled, and I am a huge fan of how they bring out the angles/curves in a car more, thats just why I use them so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhutJP Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Some from around town tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) probably isnt, but the mall shot reminds me of nishiki in kyoto... steam is always cool Edited February 17, 2010 by oikoik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I NEVER had a problem with white balance untill those stingray pictures, so I am trying to learn WB. Seems very challenging to get use to, but I think learning it will benefit me greatly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
