The Trainer. Filmed entirely on a digital SLR. Canon 5D Mark 2

I’m researching my next digital SLR camera, the big difference this time is I am strongly consider the Canon range and not the Nikon’s I am familiar with. Even since I was a young lad I wanted to be a film maker, I wanted to tell a story. My career has reflected this; starting as a 3D Animator, to storyboard artist, to graphic artist to photographer.
This little documentary embodies everything I love about film making; telling a small and intimate story using very simple cinematography and editing. Watch it all, …

I just found a video of a pro who’s been secretly testing the D90. Is it the new D3 for me I wonder?

This beast from Tamron has given me pause for thought. It has a 15x zoom range which is unheard of in the SLR world which gives the travelling photographer a huge advantage by not having to carry many lenses around with him.

Digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras are the standard tool for serious photographers. With the introduction of cameras such as the Nikon D40 and the Canon Digital Rebel XTi the market for digital SLR cameras has expanded tremendously.

A few months ago I had a problem with my battery for my D300 so I sent an email out to my friends to see if they had a D200 which uses the same battery. To my surprise all of them near me used Canons! It was very difficult to find Nikon users anyway.
Today, I discovered on the very popular Digital Photography Review just how much more popular Canon are. The list below does include point and shoot cameras. If I were to buy a compact camera then I would …

Nikon D700 Digital SLR First Look Preview
A detailed view on the new Nikon D700. I’m watching this camera very closely especially with comparisons to the big daddy Nikon D3. There is a detailed comparison between the D700, D300 and the D3. As owners start posting their photos and opinions you can be sure this photograph will be trying to get his hands on one soon.

FUN FUN FUN!! I just knew this would be a great evening when a client asked me to document her grandparent’s 60th anniversary together. I’ll be posting photos as I edit them, but I just wanted to write how awesome my job is.
A very special thanks to Kelly who was my assistant photographer last night. She really helped by taking alot of the time pressure off me as I was only allowed 90 minutes to shoot over 30 specific shots the client needed me to take so while I was …

The second act was something I wasn’t prepared for. I’ll admit I have not been to many local music sessions so the soft Lisa Thuenissen was something I was expecting. When The Swamis came out they were loud, fast, powerful and made me stop and go “YEEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
Absolutely commited rock. As well as the sound I was very impressed with their pressence and performance; for such a small venue they really rocked it out; the crowd was immediately behind them. Now remember Aylesbury is just know for it’s Ducks so three …

It was the weekender at a local pub, I couldn’t attend on Saturday beacause of conflicting photo assignments, but I am so glad I went last night. I saw 3 acts, Lisa was the first one I caught. She played a great set and was always natural infront of the camera. That’s the wonderful thing about bands, they’re always prepared to be photographed and don’t mind you taking shots.
Lisa and the band played to a receptive crowd, there was quite a buzz with many people enjoying the music.
