Wake up 6:30. Shower. Eat some Wheaties "Fuel" (it's pretty good - and very dense). Pack up in the car and head off to Grayhawk where, despite arriving at 8:00am for a 9:00am clinic start, some students are already there. Hey, I can't blame 'em - I'd be there early too.
The clinic is a golf [...]

DSLRU is now in private beta testing. If you'd like an invitation, get in touch with me. The invitations I had previously have been accepted.
One of the main goals? To populate the forum. The forum is 100% free, so if you're looking to get in on a new photography forum, this could be a place [...]

Apple released Aperture 3.0 today. I'll update this post after I have a chance to read through the full list of updates, watch some videos, and play with the demo (I've already ordered my license but that will arrive later - why can't they give me a license now?).
One thing that makes me somewhat concerned: [...]

If you'd like to sign up to be considered for inclusion in the semi-public DSLRU beta period, which will begin on February 15, 2010, please head on over to http://udslr.com/ to sign up.
The official site is and will be at dslru.com, but for now udslr.com - the old name for the site - has a [...]

If you'd like to get an early peek at DSLRU, which will launch in January, visit udslr.com today and sign up for the notifications.
The domain name will eventually be dslru.com of course.

Just as I was interested in the Spider Holster and Cotton Carrier, I find myself interested in the LumaLoop as well. Unfortunately, you can't demo any of these things anywhere, and the indecision is causing me to sit around and do nothing instead.
I have two L-brackets on my 5Ds and they don't offer D-rings like [...]

DSLRU is in private beta, stage one right now. A second private beta is planned before the public release.

Y'know, I should have known better than to read the Canon 7D review at DPReview. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can get one to replace my 5D.
Since getting the 5D Mark II, I haven't used the 5D much. It's come in handy when I've needed to use two lenses without having time [...]

Oh, silly FSN and their prepared graphics… But they were right to wonder: who is is better?

Fortunately, an even better image came as a result of this game.
You'll have to read Pensblog to see the original. And you'll have to have already read Pensblog for a long time to really get it.

I'm really interested in one or the other of the Spider Holster or Cotton Carrier. Their individual pages are at CottonCarrier.com and SpiderHolster.com. They're both very similar systems. Here's a video of the Spider Holster:

I'm going to be using my Canon 5D Mark II to build first YouTube videos and eventually a DVD. As such, I found this quick tip to create droplets to convert to Apple's 422 format enlightening.
I should probably pick up (rather, have the client pick up) an external hard drive to store all the video [...]

I never encountered any of the problems he's had - though I have had instances where my images get thumbnails from an entirely different image - but my library is small compared to his (12,500), and I agree with him about "existing bugs that never get fixed." I think camera support has gotten better and [...]

JPG is back (Issue 20 is now available). They're going all digital with print-on-demand for an extra fee.
The stupid site now lists me as a "Subscriber since October 2009," which isn't right at all, but I don't care enough to bother their support people to have it corrected.
I took advantage of a special to buy [...]

On a day when I hear that Aperture 3 will not ship until May, 2010, Adobe offers up Lightroom 3.0 Public Beta. The download is here.
Features:

Redesigned Importing - I like Aperture just fine here, and particularly like how it manages my images.
Drag and Drop Publishing to the Web - I can do this too, but [...]

I have two Alien Bee 400s, but I may just have to replace them with an Einstein 640ws in early 2010. Rob Galbraith shares more here.
