Goddamn...This 5D Mark III DOES Shoot "Art" Style

Wow...I finally got my Canon EOS 5D Mark III delivered today.

First I snapped a quick pic. Full auto, no lighting other than the light switch on the wall. Wow. HUGE difference compared to my old original version 5D.

And of course I was chomping at the bit to see if I could shoot a cinematic looking piece of footage with that depth of field look that all the "Art Porn" sites use.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I figured I was going to really have to do a lot of setting in manual mode, etc. to get everything looking right.

But I was wrong. I went full auto, set the camera to 1080p at 23.97 fps, and using my 2.8 24-70mm EF lens shot a 20 second piece of footage of Claudia Marie sitting in a chair talking to me.

HOLY SHIT. No lighting (just the light switch in the room). No tripod....I just held it still in my hand (I'll use a tripod when I shoot for "real"). And all I did was push the "AF-ON" auto focus button and then started recording.

Amazing. She is in perfect focus. Meanwhile everything behind her is out of focus and there is a definite beautiful depth of field going on.

I didn't have to do ANYTHING, but point and shoot.

I'm playing Friday night at The Bikini Bar here in Vegas, so I won't be able to do anything until the beginning of the week. But I'm going to shoot me a "Big Tit Milf Art" scene with this monster and show y'all this next week.

It really is amazing. And with this camera in my hands...I could shoot that "art" porn stuff so damn easy.
It was far easier than shooting "normal" style. No lighting needed. I'll use a tripod. Shoot a couple of minutes in one spot. Stop. Set up the next place and distance I want to shoot from...shoot a couple of minutes. Stop.
Rinse and repeat and transition it all nice and pretty in the editing.

This is a VERY cool camera. And as I said...I'm not even using any of it's myriad of manual settings. I just turned it on. Clicked it on "auto" (which I have never done before with any other camera) and just hit "record" to see what was gonna happen.

I figured it would look like shit.

I had no idea it was going to do all the grunt work for me! Damn..full auto, camera on a tripod, no lighting needed....I'm starting to like the idea of "art" porn. heh-heh
And I rendered it out to a working .h264 .mp4 and it looks freakin' beautiful.
