p.1 #1 · Unhappy Canon Guys !


How come these Canon guys look so unhappy, could it be they just noticed they were being shot with a Nikon D3?

We all had a good laugh after the shot!

They don't look unhappy. They look tired. Look at all that weight they've been carrying around all day!

Yea, all the guys with Nikons are off taking pictures!

(terribly fanboyish post, but what the heck if it's all in good-natured fun)

It's clear... while the equipment worked flawlessly, they failed to capture the shot for whatever reason. Let's see, short lenses, flashes and new PWs with beer. Probably the initial tapping of the new ale and a fat lady obscured the view...

Could have happened just as easily to a Sony guy...

Well judging from the fact that they are all sitting at a table, and don't exactly look like 'team sports shooter' or something, they are at a 'look at my gear meet'.

They are upset because the beer , as you can see, is watered down....a bummer for anyone.

Nah, not really. Canon guys gotta stick together since so many of them went Nikon after the D3 came out. Maybe these guys are just said because another of their buddies just switched. Nikon shooters could care less what you are shooting with and just have fun, as with this shot.

Or maybe you are right - it is telling.

You'd think with all those beers people would be smiling more. Maybe they should be drinking wine. Seriously though, who knows what they were off about. Maybe they are annoyed because their ride home did not show up, flight was delayed, etc.

BTW, how can you tell that image is taken with a D3, some overexposure/metering issue?

I was shooting pro series racing at the RC track. I was shooting with my D2h, and my buddy had his 1dIIn. As he took a shot, he tripped and fell backwards onto the track. After he got up I said, "Boy jason, that canon has a kick to it doesn't it!"

Maybe they just got their 1DMkIIIs back and they are STILL not fixed?

I think it's because the other table behind them with twice as many people is the Nikon table.

Could they be Nikon guys that can't figure out those Canons or is it just bad beer and food?

To ascertain the Canon shooters' mental state at the time of the capture is an exercise in guesswork. If someone wants to have a laugh at this, help yourself.

Myself, I shoot Canon and Nikon, top-notch gear and glass with both, they both provide high-quality RAW files.

It's well known, or should be, that Nikon applies more in-camera tweaking than Canon does. This is not a advantage or disadvantage for either brand.

I do think Nikon does a better job with Auto White Balance in- camera. With my Canon RAW's, if I don't nail the white balance, it's a coupe clicks in Camera Raw or Digital Photo Professional to get what I want.

My main point is, everyone in the photo above is a photographer. We would be well-served in our photography to embrace other photographers - no matter what theh have hanging over their shoulder.

If you could listen to the grass growing (in their mind), they, depressed, are all buzy trying to figure out how to jump Canon ship

I think the chick is giving the D3 shooter the bird underneath her sleeve.
