Hey everyone! I seriously need your advice and help! >3<)/ It's about camera models and such, and whether for what I need it for, it is better to upgrade my camera or not.
My brother and I are heading on a trip to the US at the end of February to an aquarium and make some pictures there. He is taking over a doctor office and wants to modernize it by adding a giant DinA1 or DinA0 picture printed on acrylglass to the main treatment room. It's been his dream and I want to help with that.
The plan was to take our Canon Eos 60D, make multiple pictures and I put them together to a Panorama/bigger picture.
The camera:
(Bear with me, translating from german...) From what I know it has an APS-CMOS-Sensor with 18 MegaPixel. (No full format Sensor).
I did a couple of practice shots to check the balance between ISO and aperture and it was okay I guess, but the full resolution when zoomed in always felt pixely and of course, the worse this effect, the more pictures I have to take to be able to put them together and look good when printed.
So, I went online and looked for alternatives and came across the Canon Eos 5D Mark 3. I only had Canon cameras so far and was always very happy with them, thus I wanted to stay with that factory.
The camera:
Full Format CMOS-Sensor with 30,4 Megapixel.
The problem is, we got an offer to borrow one for 1 week but in addition to assurance, borrowing it alone will cost 400€. We are taking a flight to the US for this!! So of course, if it makes a significant difference, we will spend the additional money. However, it's also a LOT of money... (~450USD) So the question is, if it is even worth the difference?
What is your experience? Does someone have the camera and maybe can just make a full res shot and show me how it looks like zoomed in??
Thanks a lot for the help and advice!!
Here is what the fully zoomed in pictures look like on my current camera:
I've been invited to a Secret Santa Event this year, so just posting my wishlist. Please ignore~ Unless you are my Secret Santa of course...
Below is my wishlist. Please draw whatever -you- feel most comfortable or inspired to. I tried to provide visual guides as well as a small description for all characters. Simply pick one that you like and please have fun while drawing. If you enjoyed making the gift, I certainly will enjoy receiving it. <3 Also sorry for the huge list... I have too many OCs. OTL
Feid is a Celestial, meaning three sets of wings. She is built rather athletic (almost in a masculine way, barely and chest etc...) and uses light arrows as weapon.
One of my most Rped characters. Ethrion is an elves, fighting with his broad sword as well as by summoning thorn vines. He always wears a rose shaped silver pendant around the neck, otherwise I'm pretty loose with choice of cloths for him... Usually he makes sure it's practical or, when heading to battle, proper armor.
Necromancer and yet the biggest goofball you will ever find... attention span of a goldfish, loving sweets and chasing butterflies.
A Gate Keeper, so black wings and using magic to fight. She usually is rather elegant and composed.
My elven Emperor OC. He is self confident and calm, always keeping his composure. I haven't really designed regular cloths for him (other than his ridiculously overdetailed Exalted uniform) but any sort of robes work perfectly. You are completely free in designing something here.
Alasdair Conri
My new werewolf character. He has long black hair that is usually tied to a loose braid and stuffed into his hood.
Ishkay
A conflux, aka summon spirit. He has two 'halves', one being rather light in which he is blonde, has winged ears,... and his usual one, in which he has white hair and more elven looking ears.
Mairitti Calness
The selfproclaimed Queen of Thieves~ Mai doesn't have too much of a moral compass when it comes to gold and juwelry, taking from those that have (in her opinion) more than enough anyway. She does however insist on only taking lives if absolutely necessary and would also never steal from someone who has less than her.
Dorian Arethousa and Alex Arethousa-Smith
Not only brothers in law and best bros ever. (Dorian loves Alex' oh so very green eyes //SHOT)
Father and Daughter. Both are hunters by now, often going into the forest, reading tracks and hunting for food or going after monsters.
Old rivals. Even though they are friends by now, they are still fighting aaaaaall the time. Especially since Ahri married Mereus' ex.
They could as well go into the couple saction because.... basically they behave like one? They are strictly platonic though. Astrea also is rather short compared to Ishkay...
(Fure and I have way too many of these... sorry xD *tried to narrow it down to a few in different styles though* We will both love you forever for one of these =v=/ //SHOT)
Ansreal and Ethrion
Ethrion was persistent long enough, helping Ansreal to accept who he really is. The two are mates by now and quite comfortably so, even though Ansreal is more than shy about showing those things in public still....
The cutest waffles ever... Dorian loves mocking his wife, making her blush or annoying her, but they'd do anything for each other~
They are actually older by now... Alex is human and over 50, Naia is ondine but aged slightly too. Drawing them young or older both is fine though.
Arlen is a water dragon, Tear a water spirit, so naturally they both dwell around the sea.
The Black Lady and Sariyah-Raza
Black pretty much holds Raza's leash... but they certainly are our hottest couple. BA-DUM-TS! //shot
Bat and eagle! Our very first couple ever... Tai is super bitchy, Kiri way too trusting and warm for his own good. He's really the only one that can handle Tai's temper.
Alpaca Sama and his little favorite wyrm. Darios needs a lot of attention, Seirian being a natural in ignoring his whining though.
Last but not least our probably most developed couple~ Both of them are tricksters, knowing they are better than the rest of the world, letting everyone know they are =v=/ She is a dreamer dragon, he is a Necromancer and Magi~
Zombie dragon with double jaw. Breath weapon is poisonous black 'flames'.
A midnight dragon, so black and very sparkly and glowy 8D
A magma dragon. The chest is open, so you can actually look straight at the heart.
Darios is a Wyrm of Fortune, bringing good luck and riches to whoever owns one. He has a natural affinity with water and moves like a snake.
A White Feathered Nightmare, so he has feathers instead of scales and is mostly monochromatic. He has a total of 4 blue eyes with black sclera.
