The LensAlign Pro is a $140 system that basically offers a plane on which you focus your camera's lenses and a ruler, tilted back at an angle, so that you can measure how much your camera front- or rear-focuses. I've borrowed one from my buddy Josh (as I suspect a lot of people will be [...]

Yippee! First I saw it was at JDD's blog. A snippet from the linked articles: Allowing EOS 5D Mark II owners to achieve even more stunning video results with the camera, the firmware update will include the following manual controls when shooting video: Full aperture selection ISO speed: Auto, 100 - 6400 and H1 Shutter [...]

I'm almost out of pictures for the photoblog. I don't tend to take many photos from January through March, and I've got plenty of flower pictures, so I'm hoping to avoid taking too many of those this spring.

It is now mine… along with the 1.4x. So now I have (effectively) a 600mm f/5.6 lens. Will be great for shooting golf, I tell ya. Though I may end up using it more at 420mm and f/4.

Fortunately, taking this photo did not cause the iPhone broken.

I really like photos like this, but I never see them in my own day-to-day life.

I'm jumping the gun by about an hour, but I've posted new Desktops for March, 2009. Get them while you can. Just three this month.

Just realized something… I've taken no artistic photographs (i.e. non-family/scrapbooking type photos) in the month of February. Then again, how many pictures of snow can you really take in a year? Busy month. I could have taken shots in the "studio" but never found the time.

For some reason, every time I launch Aperture (latest version), it selects an image from last spring. I dutifully collapse that folder back down, work on other images in other folders (and even other projects), sync to my vault, and yet when I launch Aperture next, it selects and displays that same image, un-collapsing the [...]

Photographers are Now Terrorists in the U.K.: The laws introduced today allow for the arrest and imprisonment of anyone who takes pictures of police officers that are likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. What is wrong with the people in the U.K. that they'd even let this [...]

As posted on Twitter: "you're photos suck.. no offense, you just throw them out there as if there is any content at all and you fail miserably." I responded via email just to say "Your comment sucks. Guess we're even?" I couldn't resist. But that's beside the point… Criticism like this doesn't bother me at [...]

Hey, if you've got a moment, do me a favor and stop by the Ratings page at my photoblog, click a few of the "5 Least Rated Images," and rate them by clicking the stars. Thanks.

Canon Rumors lists a few things that would interest me (in order of importance): EF 24-70 f/2.7L II IS - I have the current 24-70 and it may be a little soft, and the addition of IS would be handy. More handy than without it, anyway. EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L II IS - I have the [...]

Canon's TC-80N3 is a "Timer Remote Controller" with four features, all of which can be used in any combination: alone or with any two, three, or four settings combined. The features are: Self Timer - Delay before taking an image. Interval Timer - Delay between images. Long Exposure Timer - Set the shutter speed for [...]

I've updated the Desktops page with February's images. Since it's not a leap year, you've got 2-3 less days to get these images than every other month, so grab 'em today. P.S. We were without power from shortly before 7:00am until just after 3:30pm today. Penelec was digging pretty deep around some electrical boxes in [...]
