A few snaps of Jeff and Darren from a quick shoot last night. I nev­er real­ized how much I need my new 70–200mm lens after get­ting a full-frame cam­era; 70mm is much too short, even in my small stu­dio room.

It’s strange to see so much nat­ur­al vignetting. I’m not sure if it’s the lens or the way the light falls off when spread across the back­ground from one direc­tion.

  1. Looks like the edge of your full frame sen­sors aren’t get­ting enough light. The Lens IRIS isn’t big enough?

    • All lens­es have light fall-off around the edges, it’s just a mat­ter of how much there is. The only rea­son you don’t notice it on a cropped-sen­sor cam­era is that it’s tak­ing the cen­tre of the image only. You can eas­i­ly cor­rect vignetting by shoot­ing in RAW because there’s an adjust­ment slid­er for that. Nowadays, the lat­est high-end Canon bod­ies also have built-in lens infor­ma­tion and will auto­mat­i­cal­ly com­pen­sate for the light fall-off depend­ing on what lens is put on, since they all have unique vignetting sig­na­tures (and as long as it’s an offi­cial Canon lens).

      The best way to judge true vignetting is to take a pic­ture of an entire­ly white back­ground with even, flat light­ing.

  2. Wow.… Lost.

    Oh, and,

    I don’t know if he’ll want to hear this, but (whichev­er of them is in the bot­tom-most shot) is going to be a real­ly neat-look­ing old man.

  3. What does “neat-look­ing old man” imply?
