Photography

I really don’t blog enough. I want to blog all the time, but I think I get distracted, or maybe I just really don’t like WordPress. I’ve got so much history here though, it’s a huge undertaking to migrate to another format. I’ve been shooting film a lot, maybe for 6 months straight, exclusively. I’ve sold off most of my Canon digital lenses. Picked up some Leica lenses to go with my M6 (a 50mm Summicron, and a 28mm Elamrit). I really love the portability. I’m not certain the “picture quality” is any different than with my Canon Elan7 or my Nikon F3, but I enjoy the compactness of leaving the house with my Leica and a 28mm lens. Oh that reminds me, I wrote a “5 frame with” article on 35mmc blog (here). I think it inspired me to start writing again, or at least rambling along.. ...

HD Action cams are gaining popularity.

I’m not using my 70-200 f4 much these days, maybe its time for a break.

Shooting a wedding for family this weekend.

I’m still saving like a banshee for a new camera. Here’s what I have lens wise: * Canon 50mm f/1.4 * Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS * Canon 18-55 EF-S I’m having the darnedest time deciding between a Canon EOS 30d and a EOS 5d. I still shoot film occasionally and want to get into wide angle stuff. To me it seems the full frame 5d is the perfect choice. I could pick up a 17-40mm f4L lens and be in wide angle heaven. At the same time, if I bought the 30d, to achieve the wide angle effect, I’d need a 10-22 lens and then another lens to cover the missing gap between the 22mm and 50mm area (yes the kit lens covers it, but its such a bad lens I dont want to consider it.) The 30d is a lot cheaper though. I just don’t know. ...

I’ve had a flickr account for a while now, but I’ve finally start of using it. It’s basically replaced my photoblog. You can see my flickr page here.

Geeksquad repaired my 300d.

Time for an upgrade on my digital camera.

A pretty good scanner for both windows and linux
