Every different camera I'v had... at DVinfo.net

had certain types of shots that I loved to shoot with it.

I had a fisheye lens on my Sony HDR FX1 that made low angle fisheye shots rolling on a skateboard, so much fun to make/take. The LCD screen flipped up is largely what allowed for that.

With the 7d, find myself shooting people more often than before. The shots where i place the camera at eye level with the subject and so on.

What shots are you all having fun with the the 7d?

Starting in the past, in film school, with small sensor cameras,(canon xl) i would still try to get a little depth of field in my image, if i could: zoom in all the way, find a suitable distance from the subject - you know just to give some depth to my subject/background. Even now, sometimes I'll find my self walking a block away to get that depth. Nonetheless it was the camera controlling me.

Now with the seven 7D, the depth of field is under my control (had to remember everything i learned about photography again but...). If i want it, it's there - if not...it's under my control!

So what am i shooting now with it. ANYTHING I WANT! YEEHAA

Seriously, i just got it about a month ago, have had very little time to play with it, and something i could never do with any other camera i've owned, and to answer your question; "What shots are you all having fun with on the 7d?"

Shooting my city in the evening!

funny, i bought the camera for the variable frame rates, lenses and ability to do timelapses.

I have a whole lot to play with!

But I'm sticking with the HDr for filming skateboarding lines
