Hey All,

Up for CC is a shot I took literally 15 minutes ago and edited.

The Idea popped into my head when I was baffled when what to do out of pure boredom, entertaining and feeding my mind with ideas and inspirations. The inspiration to this image comes from the following thoughts:

- Tagheuer advert. with leonardo dicaprio
- Memory cards
- Girlfriend + Me
- Keith Urban : Memories of Us (playing in the background)

So this is what I came up with and I'd love some CC. Hope everyone is well :D

Interesting idea Marcus, would make a good ad on a billboard.
What could make it even more interesting is if the memory card was placed on a girl's chest in a strategic place to avoid giving it an "R" rating. :wink:

Great idea and execution Marcus! :cheers: You should send this to Sandisk and see what transpires....

:ot: Do you find that this card can keep up with the 7D 8fps? I wanted to get this for my 60D but thought it might be overkill.

Hey guys,
Thanks for your critique Phillip, unfortunately I ws my own model and none were so "in the mood for modelling"

As for imaging, this was shot in black and white and colorized. Thought I'd gve it a different tweak and see what I got.

As for the cards Suren, I've had 3 of these, all of which are replacements to the originals that corrupted that I bought less than a year ago :s might deity to lexar for stability but speed is fantastic! Def. Vote for speed factor, but since you're using SD cards I'd recommend the extreme pro SDHC cards that just got released on the market. It's not overkill if you're keeping it forever right? Definitely settle for something good than just anything when it comes to memory cards, I learnt the hard way. You'll probably end up replacig your 60D with a better spec camera in the future so why not recycle cards fast enough to process? Longevity my friend ;D
