I still have this lens, and it’s still for sale. I may still put it up on eBay, but for now it’s available to anyone who wants an awesome professional Canon lens at a great price. It has never been used, and it has a bag, lens hood, manual, and USA warranty [...]

Not much to say… It’s breath-taking. I look forward to lots of super pictures from this beautiful piece of technology. Last year, I never would have thought I would want or be able to go for this camera body. But then I got to shoot a lot more and found out how [...]

I have been living in the Dark Ages of Ignorance for so long. Canon DSLR shooters, go here and watch this. Just.. watch it… (Sorry, Jen and Mark, this doesn’t apply to the 300D even with the “hacked” firmware – I tried.)http://www.thebschoolblog.com/index.cfm?postID=57So the old push-the-shutter-button-halfway-to-focus thing? There’s a whole different way to do [...]

I recently assisted the very talented Kathryn Krueger at another wedding, and I really like a few of the shots. It’s always incredibly fun to work with Kathryn, and I’ve learned so much along the way. What better way is there to spend a day than in the middle of frenzied preparations, fancy [...]

I am equally unamazed at Canon’s early 2008 announcements, although I’m probably a bit less indignant than I am with Apple. I’m sure the shiny new Rebel XSi is a fantastic camera, but it goes in the “not compelling at all” category for me. It looks like the improvements are only marginal over [...]

Just returned from a wonderful cruise to southeast Alaska. It was so nice to be in a place where long sleeves and jackets are still worn in June. Tons of pictures are uploading to Flickr as I type, and it will probably take most of the day. I have them all going [...]

I found out that I have somewhat of a newfound skill, useless though it may be. Maybe it’s just sheer patience and a mostly steady hand. I was dismayed to find out that the unofficial world record (Sadly, Guiness BoWR has no entry for golf-ball stacking.) is nine golf balls. Maybe someday [...]

With the addition of my new lenses into my collection, it became obvious that my trusty but dated Drebel (300d) was sorely out-matched. Since Canon decided not to release a 40D, I decided that the Rebel XTi was the right body to upgrade to. The 30D is nice, but I’m not obsessed with the [...]

When Joshua mentioned to me that he was thinking of selling his lenses, I had to seriously consider whether or not I could get them. The two lenses are a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L and a 70-200mm f/2.8 L, both phenomenal lenses. He wanted to upgrade to the Canon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS, [...]

What is one to do when they want to frame a 20×30 print and none of the local stores carry that size? They say it’s not a “standard” size, but it sure-as-heck is! It’s a big 4×6 or a small 24×36. Nobody seems to care that standard film and digital sensor sizes [...]
