@ding are you Vignetting them photos post?

No mate, i have run each file through Photoshop but only do an "Auto Levels", followed by resizing at either 15 or 25 percent, depending on the amount i have cropped out, after cropping if warranted. No other post-processing involved. Every image posted so far was taken using a Canon 5DMK2 with 70-200 f2.8 IS/USM lens. For some reason, this batch seems to have the appearance of moderate Vignetting as you described. Honestly can't say why it looks like that, but I'm still happy enough with the result.

    I thought it was a really good hit out ... we had a whole host of good players out yet our teamwork & link up play was quite good (all things considered)

    I especially liked the way the team kept coming deep into the last quarter ... but any number of players who ran around today aren't going to be in the starting 22.  15 players pick themselves (if available) so only about 7 spots are up for grabs and there's at least 20 players vying for those 7 spots.

    Gawn,  Viney,  Jones,  Lewis,  May,  Lever,  Petracca,  T-Mac,  Oliver,  Brayshaw,  Harmes,  Salem,  Jetta,  Melksham,  & Hibberd all start (if fit) yet only about 6 of those 15 played today. 

    Add in those 9 who didn't play and it's a completely different team.   Weideman,  Fritsch and one of Frost or Oscar probably start as well so the rest are fighting for very few spots.  That competitive environment is great for the club thus we saw the team fight to the finish today. 

    Again,  we could have been on the end of a belting yet very nearly won the game.  I was very pleased with the overall effort.

    Great Camera the 5D. Many people are using them to shoot documentaries on in heavy countries, as they are easy to get through an airport,  no suspicion. Doing original tests at the ABC with a Flash Card we  could shoot 8 minutes of Top Quality Broacast Footage  and that was a few years ago, so i am sure the size of a Flash Drive has increased, never used a 7D, is that basically just more memory?

     

    5D is full frame, 7D is not.

    5D uses both SD and Compact Flash, 7D uses just Compact Flash (can’t recall what limitations there are regarding the size of the CF card).

    I used to use a 7D and upgraded to a 5D Mark III... now dreaming of when I can afford to upgrade to a Mark IV.

    Surprisingly (or maybe not, for Demonland) negative thread about a practice match.

    None of us know what we may or may not have been trialling, changing, experimenting with etc..

    I'll save my (inevitable) worry for the season proper.

    Is it possible the lens is not full frame compatible?

    Cool. Quite a lot of “Back Roads” on ABC is shot with 5D

    Beautiful Camera even when transcoding to a high compression

    Zero chance. This lens is made for full frame, but crop sensor compatible. I have used it at countless weddings, but I generally add some minor vignetting in post-processing afterwards, usually only in the close-up shots of the bridal party, family etc.

     I have used it on @faultydet Canon 7d (which is a  crop sensor. He also has a 5dMK2) and it performs perfectly.

    I honestly cant explain why these images look like they are vignetted in post-processing, but i agree that it looks like they have been.

    Didn't realise we had so many people on this site who knew their cameras lols.

    PS, my 5D classic does NOT use SD cards.... CF only.

    7 if you count  petracca who takes up 2 spots.

    I thought it was a good hit out for us, we played 2 good quarters and 2 bad ones, so plenty still to work on. looked like we lacked a bit of run, but I guess when not everyone is on the same page, a good team like the tigers can take you apart pretty quickly, then you're chasing tail and looking slower than you maybe really are. we were also pretty predictable with the way we moved the ball and the Tigers preyed on it and picked us off.

    of the new and inexperienced players, I thought;

    Petty, Hore, Keilty, Smith and Jordan showed enough at times to suggest they might make handy players for us.

    Preuss mistimed a lot of ruck jumps and surprisingly wasn't that strong in the contest either. he also seemed to tire after playing the first 20 minutes. i'm still unsure about how he fits into the side. next week will be the big test is suppose, Gawn will be back and I think the lions will play the 2 ruckmen also.

    some of our smaller running types fumbled a lot, stuffed up and turned it over too much. blokes like Stretch, ANB, Hunt and the Wagners the main offenders. but most of those guys aren't best 22 anyway and will be playing in the 2's for most of the year anyway.

    also i think Sparrow has a fair bit of development to do at Casey before he gets a game in the seniors. his kicking ain't flash.

     was baffled by the Preuss trade.....does anyone think he'll get many games this year? Assuming Gawn stays fit?

    He has only played 8 AFL games...give him a season training & playing with Max & I think we will see why

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
