Fantastic result Doug.
Nice work to pull in the highlights in this.
I was guessing the original looked something like what you show above when you posted this one recently although the original turned out to a bit worse than I thought. Nice recovery.
Great job, Jameel.
Excellent recovery, Alan.
It's funny that for as good of a company as Canon is, that the 5D was allowed to be produced even. At that time, it was so far behind what Nikon cameras of the same time were putting out, it's embarrassing. It's about that same time that a long of Canon users started to migrate to back to Nikon, but a larger majority I think went to Sony at that time.
I love Soda Dam. My son doesn't live too far from there (Los Alamos) so I have visited that a few times. I have been meaning to get back there and make a video of it for my YouTube channel.
That (and the fact that I wasn't rolling in money) is why I skipped all of that when I went full frame and started with the 6D. It had a better sensor than the 5DIII (and the sensor is what I care most about), cost much less, and as a landscape photographer I had no need for the extra features of the 5-series.It's funny that for as good of a company as Canon is, that the 5D was allowed to be produced even.

And you would think Canon would have learned, but they doubled down and put out the 5D2 which was not any better, all of the weaknesses of the 5D continued on in the 5D2. It wasn't until the 5D3 that it got back on track.
That's my history lesson.
And that's a very good salvage job Alan. I do like the final result.
That an "interesting" history of Canon's full frame prosumer level camera which predated any similar offering from Nikon by 3 years. The D700 was Nikon's first full frame prosumer level camera in 2008 with 12.1 MP. The 5D MkII came out the same year with 20.1MP.It's funny that for as good of a company as Canon is, that the 5D was allowed to be produced even.

I originally bought a 6D as a backup for my 5D MkII and ended using the 6D full time once I looked at the images. Especially for low light. I still have my 6D.
