Okay, here’s the "more later" I promised.
This photograph was made in what might be considered an unusual manner. But, I’ve stumbled on to something that really seems to work well — using a telephoto zoom in conjunction with an extension tube to allow it to focus super-close. In this case, the lens is my Canon [...]
It is very, very, very good!
I took this photograph today using the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS that I’ve been off-and-on complaining about. We were at the annual Brookside Gardens Wings of Fancy event, and I was experimenting. More on that in a later posting, but I was so taken with this image that I wanted [...]
I’ve mentioned here and there (mostly on Flickr) that I’ve been having some intermittent focusing issues which were most noticeable when using the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. I thought perhaps there was a lens issue of some sort, or user error, or both.
However, someone else has mentioned having similar problems with their 40D [...]
We trundled back down to the southern end of Assateague today to take more pictures at the wildlife refuge. Yesterday, I had been frustrated by all of my images appearing fuzzy on the LCD display on the 40D. I had been shooting RAW only, which has a JPEG thumbnail embedded for preview purposes. However, it [...]
This video shows a really simple — and cheap — method of reducing camera shake:
$1 Image Stabilizer For Any Camera - Lose The Tripod - The most amazing home videos are here
This idea is, by no means, a new thing. This video just shows how to put it together very succinctly. Theoretically, [...]
We spent most of yesterday at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. We were supposed to spend the whole day, but some miscommunications caused us to have to leave earlier then we had planned. There was still time to get some good pictures, though, and we’ll be going back for a full day of fun and [...]
While we were away, dpreview.com got a preliminary review posted for the new Canon 40D. Included are some tasty sample pictures taken with a “beta” version of the camera. One word: Wow!

Fast on the heels of Canon’s announcement of two new ante-upping DSLR models, Nikon cries, “Me, too!”
Nikon’s web site this morning carries press releases for a new D300 as well as a new model D3. The specs on the D300 are skimpy in the press release, and those given don’t look particularly earth-shattering, especially at [...]
Yes, we’re back to a discussion of toys. But, if this site has any particular theme at all, it’s toys, I guess. And most of the toys are probably photographic in nature. So, here goes…
Canon have finally put the 40D up on their web site. Of all the features listed, to me, the most [...]
Well, the much anticipated Canon EOS 40D looks to be another step closer to reality. Amazon now has a listing for the camera body, with a price point exactly as I anticipated — $1300.
[EDIT - The link has been removed from the Amazon web site. Looks like someone released early!]
[EDIT 7/20/07 - New links to [...]
