GARY FONG LOVES THE 20D !
Here's a couple of test shots I did today with strong backlighting and
fill flash provided by the 550EX (off camera) with the Gary Fong Lightsphere. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/82886503/original http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/82886507 Note the lack of harsh shadows. The flash was off to the left of the camera, about where Mr. Divs is looking. |

Yuck. Ugly ugly bokeh. Sheesh, guy, do NOT stop that lens down that far. Bad boy, Bret. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/82886507 That's better. Note the lack of harsh shadows. The flash was off to the left of the camera, about where Mr. Divs is looking. You really do overwork that cat. I hope he gets lots of fish. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

Lovely colour and Mr Divs looks like a nice cat (yes I am a cat person) I think Gary Fong loves your money more than your 20D though. lol I have never bothered spending the coin on a LS, as I get the same results from a 20 cent bit of tracing paper. |

The flash was off to the left of the camera, about where Mr. Divs is looking. I found the color to be very natural. What I particularly like is the lovely highlights on Mr. Divs. This lens you've used is very nice for portraits. I found the bokeh to be very pleasing. My choice is this one: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/82886507 Helen |

I actually liked the sparkly bokeh in the first one, but then I do like shiny things. ;-) The bokeh in the first one is only half bad: the disks have bright edges (which is classic bad bokeh), but at least they're disks and not pentagons, as my Fuji GS645S produces. The lighting is gorgeous in those shots. Bret really nailed it. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |
