so my cousin was having his graduation ceremony last weekend and hired a photographer for the event. The photographer had a Canon 5D with a 25-??mm lense. I brought my olympus 410 with the 14-42mm kit lense just for fun. Since this is a college gradutation ceremony, there were tons of ppl and space was very limited. For group shot with less than 10 ppl, that guy was doing fine; that's until my cousin asked EVERYONE to do a group shot with 30-40 ppl: the photographer has to step way back and push other graduates out of his way while I stood and shot with relative ease. :)

[edit] nevermind, me noob... 5d is fullframe [/]

here are the pics:

I'm guessing he had a 24-70 2.8 or the 24-105. Your lens in FF is 28-84. His lens is wider. I don't see why he had to stand further back then you. Maybe he wanted a slightly different perspective then you.

if he had a 24 anything on a 5D he'd be wider than you, so i don't know what lens he had.

anway, here's the guy

that looks like an EOS 1D(?) mark iii. if it's a 1D and not a 1Ds, then a 24 mm lens would be ~31 mm equivalent, or slightly less wide than your 14 mm. the lens isn't a 24-xx L lens either.

What time did you take those two pictures?
The light is very harsh and made Frankensteins (Frankenstien's creature to be exact) out of people.

You could have used Flash or turned down the contrast level on your camera.

BTW, Given the position of strap holder, shape of the head and lack of mode dial, it's not 5D.

Google 'fill-in flash'.Using Flash in broad day light makes so much difference as it can get rid of that frankenstien shadow. In my case, I mostly use Flash in broad day light.
