Low Light Photo Opportunities

I am always amazed how many of my Canon EF lenses capture images with terrific sharpness and color in low light situations, without using a flash, so much so, that I am obsessive in finding interesting compositions which show off these lense's most impressive feature. I am also impressed, as a photographer, with the realtively low noise and bokeh which is another strong point of these high quality AF EF lens. Now the owner of Canon's new 5D Mark II, I expect to be adding many new photos to this gallery in the near future. I am especially excited about using the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM lens in dark churches, without flash, during wedding ceremonies.

Low light imaging can be a challenge, but it doesent appear to be for you. Great work.

I really enjoyed this gallery Michael. You've really captured some wonderful colors and lighting. I have the Canon 50 1.4 as well but I rarely use it except for at home using candles for lighting. Usually when I'm out and about I swap between the 17-40 and the 70-200 and packing around 2 lenses is enough. After seeing your shots I might have to reconsider hauling it around with me. Regards Jim
