Today I went to De Horsten near Voorschoten to take the first pictures with my new Canon 5D2.
I’ve uploaded 11 pictures to my Flickr account, which I’ve now upgraded to Pro.
I accidentally set the camera to M instead of L. I now have only 11 megapixel pictures because of it.

Meijendel Wassenaar 1, originally uploaded by Jan Polet.

Today we went out into the cold to Meijendel, near Wassenaar, to take picture of the beautiful Dutch landscape. Clear sky, temp -5 C and my SlingShot backpak filled to the max with camera gear. I also brought a tripod.
We were ther till after sunset and then it turned out to be a full moon!
The pictures turned out pretty good, if I say so myself. I uploaded 9 of them to my Flick stream. This is the first one.
Let me know what you think.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

canon5dm2s2I’ve ordered this beauty yesterday. It’s gonna replace my Canon EOS 300D. Unfortunately it’s sold out at the moment and the expected delivery date is in March.

DPReview: “So here is the 5D Mark II, which punches high in terms of both resolution and features, headlining: 21 megapixels, 1080p video, 3.0″ VGA LCD, Live view, higher capacity battery. In other words, a camera that aims to leapfrog both its direct rivals, either in terms of resolution (in the case of the D700) or features (in the case of the DSLR-A900).”

I can’t wait!
