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.
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.
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.
In a previous post, I linked to some videos showing what kind of pictures you can get by using remote cameras. But how do you actually set them up?
Robert Hanashiro will show you in a six parts video.
The Fuji S5 pro is a new camera based on the Nikon D200 body. It is known for his great high dynamic range. So great that you can save an over-overexposed RAW file to a totally usable picture.
