It’s been a long time since the first blog post which actually wasn’t one anyway. But now after quite some time I finally updated most sections of my site and one big thing I was waiting for a long time finally arrived. My new Canon 7D!
I’ve already shot some stuff to see how the image looks – and its awesome! Even with the kit lens I got with it. It’s a Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM – pretty good for a kit lens!
However, I will get myself a “better” lens to achieve more of a film look in the future. For starters something like a 50mm f/1.8… …we’ll see 
Another thing I now know is why you should have fast memory cards for DSLRs. I already knew that you should get yourself some 30mb/s or 60mb/s CFs but i didn’t really know why!
If your shooting something with a lot of motion, you are trying to get a lot of “information” captured to your memory card. This means it has to write very fast. – But if it doesn’t, you’ll get a little white bar showing you how much information isn’t written to the card yet. When the bar is filled up, the camera will stop shooting.
Anyway, I’ve already ordered 2 16gb 60mb/s CF Cards, so that I’ll be able to start shooting with this amazing little camera by the next week. The only thing I could do until now, was shooting timelapses with this little intervalometer I got on the same day as the camera itself. I already did some but I still didn’t got through all settings to get a perfect one of the sun setting… soooooo I just did a simple one during the day when I was in Innsbruck last week. 
It’s not a big deal, and it is only one single shot, but I’ll promise I’ll do some more in the future.
It took me one hack of a time to remove airplanes and all the birds from about 80 of 1455 pictures which appeared as small black dots throughout the whole video… very annoying!!!
But well, that’s it for now. And I promise that I will update you more often from now on
Cheers, Sascha
