a picture of a picture making box? that ain't right...

popup flash on my 300D bounced off the ceiling, S3 sitting on a piece of white poster paper. Whatever works, eh wot?

I'd up the highlights a bit to wash the background clean out, but that's pretty good for on-camera flash. How did you bounce it?
 
Fancy paper cutting using card stock paper for stiffness with tin foil to give it extra bouncing power (alternatively, without the tinfoil it results in simultaneously diffused and bounced light). It's a big ugly flimsy thing, but it's good enough I guess. The popup flash at full power still isn't very powerful for bouncing though, meh.
 
Well, I meant for it to be "among autumn" and I wasn't really able to exclude those leaves anyway. But, thanks :)

1D MK IV ... who's getting it?

Uh... was this meant for the random thoughts thread? Also, to answer that, I think probably the only one here who can even remotely justify or afford such a thing is Cosworth ;)

EDIT: ooh, what a surprise, ISO 102,400 ... where I have seen that before? :p

Looking at the top-down pic, Canon still hasn't revised its stupid 2 button+dial command structure on the 1D. And oooh, 49 point AF, I wonder when Nikon will top that. Oh, wait, they have. In 2007! I do like that it automatically switches AF points when it senses the change in camera orientation (portrait to landscape or vice versa), but that's just a software upgrade away for any DSLR.

In regards to anything else, there really isn't a single thing that would make me choose Canon over Nikon, based on specs alone and I'm used more to the Nikon layout and firmware, so no convert here.
