XT testing for Jake

So to be quick and to the point, here is as close of a "macro" shot you can get with the Canon Rebel xt. Keep in mind that all these photos are straight out of their respective cameras. The rose shot being from the XT and the others from the 30d. Well Jake, I hope you findthis useful dude even if you dont buy the XT from me!!!! :P

Exif Data for the rose:

Model: Canon EOS Rebel XT
Exposure Program: "close up mode"
Shutter Speed: 1/60
F/stop: 5.6
ISO: 400
Focal Length: 55mm (35mm equivalent: 90mm)


Here is a shot of the camera. I did use the flash and diffuser that are mounted on it. but you could achieve the same softness using a "puffer" diffuser and the pop up flash on the camera. So the camera minus the flash and lightsphere there is what I would be offering you.

Exif data for camera studio shot:

Model: Canon EOS 30D
Exposure Program: "Aperture Priority Mode"
Shutter Speed: 1/60
F/stop: 5.6
ISO: 640
Focal Length: 24mm (35mm equivalent: 38mm)




And hers a little tid bit of info. i did not use ANY flash for this shot of the camera!!! and here's a little bit of how I lit the camera for the shot.

1 desk lamp
1 pillow case taped up
1 reflector (20 bucks at calumet) .......a sheet of white paper or foil can do the same thing ;)
