Ambiant Vs Flash
Very well explained video on max sync curtain speed, flash, and ambient light. A must see if you are not familiar with flash photography.

3 cameras to get 30 frames/second
USA Today photographer Robert Hanashiro captured Barry Bonds’ milestone moment, his 756th homer to move past Hank Aaron into first place on baseball’s all-time home run lise, using three high-speed cameras from a position in right-center field at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.

Operational range: 21 to 960mm
Last week, I finally got the last piece of equipment I needed to be fully operational: a 300mm f2.8.
Since I have a 1.4 and 2x extender, my range of lenses officially goes from 16 to 600mm. But it’s not really true. In this digital age, you have to factor in the sensor size, also called the “crop factor”.
My REAL range goes from 21mm (16-35 f2,8 on my Mark II with a crop factor of 1.3) to 960mm (300mm f2.8 + 2x extender on a 20d with a crop factor of 1.6).
But in real life, what this really mean?
Here is a test I made this afternoon:

Photojournalist – a Dangerous job III
Some assignments end up being more costly than the rate you are paid.
*Sigh*
Oh! And my pair of jeans is written off.
Lesson of the day: Roots can get OUT of the ground and become a deadly and sneaky trap.
For the one new here, part I and II of “Photojournalist – a Dangerous job” are on the older version of my blog.

Canon 85mm f1,8: Sharp!
Officially, it’s Cindy’s lens. She bought it about 2 months ago. But ever since, the 85mm prime lens has become my main portrait lens. It is, by far, the sharpest lens I have ever seen.
This is a crop seen at 100% of the full size, straight out of the camera. No retouching whatsoever.

Canon EOS 1d Mark III: an extensive review
Rob Galbraith did a great review of a preproduction Mark III.
The camera’s features may be difficult to sum up, but the camera’s performance isn’t. It’s awesome. Pixel-for-pixel, the image quality is the best we’ve seen from a digital SLR, and except for one preproduction body glitch, it’s also the best SLR we’ve ever shot with too. The EOS-1D Mark III shows a level of design care and engineering thoroughness that is simply unprecedented. Its list of features is impressive. But actually using the camera reveals how impressive all these features work.
There is a couple of full size sample images provided. The comparison between the Mark III and D2Xs files on high ISO (see page 3 of the review) show how big the blow will be to Nikon.
The Canon EOS 1d Mark III will hit the shelves in June.
On a side note, I did not know that Galbraith was Canadian. I was pretty surprised to see my home town University volleyball team featured in the sample files.
