Here's proof for everyone going out to buy 1500$ canon bodies. He shoots with a 30D, a 8.2 mp from 2006. still an amazing body of course. Most of it is the photographer, not the brand new 5D mkII!

Love the contrast of green grass underneath the rider and his colors compared to the darker greens and browns in background.

amazing shot! Well done Laurence!!

j-brantley (Apr 9, 2011 at 18:27)

imagine if he had a 5d mkII!

Laurence-CE (Apr 9, 2011 at 23:12)

Thanks Paul...really appreciate that

And Jay...got one going spare?

jergo (Apr 10, 2011 at 2:39)

yeah but he has a 300mm f2.8 which is a bigger factor in image quality than a 1500$ body

Great shot Laurence, keep it up!

j-brantley (Apr 10, 2011 at 8:46)

imagine if he had the 300 and the 5d mkII!!! ....Laurence, if i had one it would be in use full time, hahahh! Photos are looking so awesome dude, keep up the great work!

racealot (Apr 10, 2011 at 10:17)

HELLO! Image if he had a Nikon D3 with a 300 /2.8, haha, sorry LCE had to!

duncanp (Apr 10, 2011 at 14:10)

I think you're going to have enough to afford a 5D mk II after winning all these photo comps haha

Laurence-CE (Apr 11, 2011 at 3:36)

I might have to start a "New Body Fund" haha

Got to agree, this just goes to show all the "gear fanboy kids" that its not about how expensive and nice your camera body is, its the skill and everything else that falls into place!

Love it man!

Muttley (Apr 14, 2011 at 3:24)
