    Whether tacit or not, Adobe seems to have listened to the concerns voiced by many in the creative community over their impending pricing and licensing policy changes.  As you may recall, I ran three posts late last year, first calling attention to the new policy.  Secondly, as discussed on Scott Kelby’s video podcast “The Grid“, called “Why Scott Kelby and Crew are Wrong“  Finally, I started running a poll to tally people’s thoughts on the policy shift.  Scott himself ran an entire post as an Open Letter to Adobe shortly thereafter, both addressing the…

    After failing to locate a certain place to get Okonomiyaki. I did some more extensive research, drew a map and wrote down directions. I came to the conclusion that the place simply doesn’t exist anymore and Okonomiyaki isn’t super common in Sapporo. Also tried again to find the ever so allusive purple label North Face backpack but still no backpacks to be had. Saw a girl walking around with the actual bad I wanted as well. We had curry for lunch and to say the serve was generous was an understatement. Dad opted to get a few semi friend eggs on his which was apparently key to its…

    My “first camera” was a Minolta.  It looked something like this camera, but I don’t remember which model it was.  It was the family camera and sometime around sixth or seventh grade I started playing with the camera.  My uncle retired from the Navy and went home to the Philippines, my family gave him the camera. We replaced the Minolta with the mighty Canon AE 1 Program.  This is the camera that I learned on and the camera that I realized I needed glasses. I love this camera.  Nobody told me what to do…so I learned the old fashioned way, by trial and error.  I…

    (Part 2 to the behind-the-scenes making of March to Painted Rocks) FADE IN: INT. APARTMENT – DAY March, 2011.  I was retired.  I was unemployed.  The last Sabot Fighter episode I’d published was back in August, 2010.  I had one thing going:  I had optioned a new screenplay, OP Winchester, in January, but it wasn’t going anywhere.  Rewrites where happening, but all too quickly.  I felt stifled. Frustrated. I needed to create. Then a discovery: a cache of old Hi-8 video tapes.  I hadn’t messed with my old Sony DCR TRV-110 Hi-8 camera in years. Sony DCR TRV-110 In…

  • Notre Dame Football Photography

    14 Sep 2011 | 9:41 pm
    When attending a major college sporting event there are typically rules regarding lens size.  So I normally take my 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 lens which provides a broad range of coverage.  I also remove my vertical grip to lighten the load and reduce the physical size of the camera.  Of course being a Notre Dame fan, it was a bit painful to watch the outcome, but what a thrill to experience 114,800 fans.

  • Rolling shutter comparison test with 6 Canon and Nikon HDSLRs

    Here’s an interesting analysis you might be intrigued by – rolling shutter comparisons across a group of 6 Canon and Nikon HDSLR cameras. I don’t think there’s any major surprise here, but it is an interesting read. Brief Snip via Rolling shutter comparison test | Too Much Imagination. I finally come around to piecing together part of some old tests I did last year. Part of my big DSLRs test, comparing Canon EOS 550D, Canon EOS 7D, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Nikon D3s and Nikon D300s all with 50mm lens on the body, was rolling shutter.

    X-Circle by LockCircle Details The trend of filming using a HDSLR is unstoppable, and the classic EF-Mount bayonet is becoming very popular in filmmaking field like a serious alternative cinematography camera mount! The EF-Mount has a successful second life in the cinematography field, something that no-one expected when was designed to be the best still-camera bayonet mount, the same destiny happened to the HDSLR cameras offering motion images from a still photo camera, but still lenses are different than motion-picture lenses, just this is the starting point of the X-Circle project.

    There is a very special location in Big Bend National Park just north of the Panther Junction visitor’s center, that Jack and I stumbled upon last spring. It’s located in an area known as “Tornillo Flat” just east of the Rosillos Ranch, a patch of private land in the middle of Big Bend. Jack and I went there one sunny morning in search of some hoodoos to photograph but what we found was so much more interesting and potentially dangerous. We drove North from Panther Junction about nine miles when we spied an interesting looking set of hoodoos about a mile west of the…

    You never know when a great photographic opportunity will present itself but sometimes lugging around a DSLR and lens is just not possible. That’s why most of us carry a point & shoot camera like the Canon Powershot G10/G11/G12 wherever we go.  Like many photographers, I really love the resolution and detail my Canon 5D Mark II is capable of producing and for most of my professional and personal shooting it’s my camera of choice. However, like all other DSLRs the 5D2 can be quite a load to lug around when you’re already carrying too much other stuff. This past Sunday I…
