Canon for me all the way. For some reason I cannot go to other manufacturers lenses. One of my colleagues swears by his Tamron lenses, but they are not for me. Infact I loaned him my 1.4x extender recently and it came back with his Tamron cap…could not wait to exchange it. ok, ok, I am a Canon biggot.

Shucks! I wish I was around to join. I was away for quite some time so I wasn’t able to learn about it till now. I’ll definitely be on hand for the next contest. Hehehe I sure missed a lot since my last visit.

No worries Brian - not like there were hundreds of photos in there, if it was a few minutes after the fact, I somehow think it would have been okay with the contest host!

Man, I’ve been a slacker. I need to shoot my final entries tonight (the ideas have been floating around in my head - I just haven’t had time to work on them). Crossing my fingers and hoping I’ll get it done!

Thanks for hosting a fun contest!

Comment on What-s This - Week 7 by Jason

Jason — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:25:15 +0000

Great thinking here - I could easily see how both an electric razor and a vent could be what “this” is. Of the two, I would have to sa “vent” is closer, but not quite right. Thanks for stopping in and venturing your thoughts on it though - keep tuned for the real answer on Wed. next week! (Or guess again if you like )

If only I had a G5 - my Mac goodness is restricted to a MBP - but an excellent guess. Think more general use.

Good catch Ron - for some reason the embedded video feature broke when I did the last Wordpress update. I’ll have to update that manually, so the show is embedded in the html above. Thanks for letting me know about it!

FotoMagico is excellent a producing slideshows! It’s from Boinx and is Mac only. Worth switching for!

Jason — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:55:56 +0000

CO,

Could you send me an email with a little more detail? I am not sure I understand the page title reference you are talking about. I’ll be happy to fix something that is broken, but not sure I understand where it’s broken as the last post had no punctuation, and the title of the blog has no punctuation either. Thanks for the input though, and rest assured, once I understand what is broken, it will be fixed.

Comment on Slideshow Secrets by Captain Obvious

Captain Obvious — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:11:41 +0000

Please consider changing the characters in your page-title:
It ISN’T possible to save a file with those double-right-brokets in it.

Instead of saving a copy for off-line reading with your page’s full title,
( as I’m now fed-up with cursoring to each broket, deleting it, replacing it with a hyphen )
now I just delete the entire title before the last bit
( so “Canon Blogger - Blog Archive” isn’t in my Study These folder, anymore )

It also affects bookmarks, on some browsers, BTW.

Thank you for your helpful contribution, though, yes?

( web-mechanics isn’t content: the content is wonderful, the mechanics are slightly borken

Cheers,

Interesting post, thanks Jason. I’m also interested in seeing what others have to say. I’ve given lots of thought to slideshows and am sometimes unsure about the best software. I’ve used LR’s, but if you export it, it is a PDF WITHOUT sound, which is kind of a bummer.

I’ve also used Window’s built in feature a bit as well as iPhoto, but haven’t been convinced that those are the best options around.

Not so terrible - it’s very close…it is a decorative type of thing, but it’s inside. Is that a hint?

Man, I’m terrible at guessing on these - they are fun to try at though!

I’m thinking some sort of outdoor decorative item…?

Comment on The Beauty of Bokeh by Jason

Jason — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:59:11 +0000

I had a “nifty fifty” when I frst got started with digital and didn’t realize what I had - I think the “loud” factor in its focusing mechanism threw me off. Now I wish I had it back - whither that we knowest now what we should have known then, eh?

Comment on The Beauty of Bokeh by Tim Solley

Tim Solley — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:19:57 +0000

Yes, it’s true that bokeh quality is a big factor in the quality of photographs.

I have a Canon 50mm f/1.8 “nifty fifty” lens. It’s my cheapest lens at something like $70 and has (not surprisingly) only 5 blades. This gives a rougher bokeh. Certainly nothing as smooth as an expensive “L” lens.

Funny thing though. I think it’s my favorite lens in my bag. Granted, I don’t have any “L” glass. There’s something about the quality of photo from that lens that seems to overrule the less than amazing bokeh. And I’m a bokeh junkeh.

Shake the dust off? Somehow as a pro shooter I doubt you are ever having to “shake the dust off”! Fair warning on submitting shots though - no favoritism or preference is given to CO shooters!

Nice, a prize! I may have to shake the dust off the camera and submit a few images. Great idea and post.

Comment on Wednesday Walk around the Web returns by Jason

Jason — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:44:23 +0000

As far as gear advancement goes, for me it doesn’t matter whether it’s Canon or Nikon that innovates “first” because with both in competition that translates to better innovation and at cheaper prices in the long run! Way to go for Nikon!

Comment on Wednesday Walk around the Web returns by Chris Bergman

Chris Bergman — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:09:50 +0000

As if the D3 and D300 weren’t enough to drool over, we now have to add the 700 in there. Darn you, Nikon!

Lowepro does seem to be a favorite brand of bags. I like the idea of the SlingShot for walkabout type activity. On the straps, I’ve heard really good things about UPStraps, but those are intended more for camera bodies rather than camera bags.

Thanks guys - always fun to see the ideas and gear that works for others.

Comment on Backpacks, and Belts and Bags: Oh My! by Tim Solley

Tim Solley — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:26:00 +0000

Just yesterday, I bought a Lowepro SlingShot 200 AW. My old sling bag broke and I needed a new one. Wanting to get a quality bag, I sprung for the Lowepro.

I have to say, I love this thing after just a day or two with it. It slings over one shoulder diagonally, and when I need to snag my camera fast, I just swing it around and grab it using the side pocket designed for quick access, without having to take the bag off. It’s pretty awesome.

As someone who photowalks every day, this quick access is important to me. Throw in the extra padding, the extra strap for stability, and it’s tough to beat. It cost me $100, but I think it was worth it. I can easily carry my Canon 20D, two extra lenses (one is a 70-300 Sigma), a Vivitar 285HV flash, extra NiMH AAs, a few lens filters, a space blanket (makes a great collapsible reflector), flash cards, camera batteries, and a few more accessories such as ball bungies and a Wein Peanut optical slave.

Comment on Backpacks, and Belts and Bags: Oh My! by David

David — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:31:02 +0000

Unfortunately it seems no one bag can be perfect for every situation. I use a backpack, two different sizes of shoulder bags, or a beltpack depending on where I’m going and what equipment I want to carry with me. I have a writeup with further descriptions of the camera bags I use and when: http://ww.ordinarylight.com/articles/camera-bags.php

I don’t use a bag for my primary tripod (which uses a shoulder strap) but I do have a long, skinny bag for my lighting gear (stands, umbrella, ball bungees, etc). It’s a no-name brand bag that I found on the big auction site under a search for “lightstand bag”.

Thanks for another well-done video, Jason. Keep up the good work.

Brian — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:26:45 +0000

I really like the LowePro ProMag2 AW Shoulder Bag. I don’t like the single strap on it though - hurts my shoulders. As a result, I use a set of cool backpack straps meant for disc golf bags (disc golf is a hobby of mine). You can check out more about the straps here:

Thanks Brian. A rainy weekend and time spent packing and putting things in storage to “show” the house has kept me rather busy so really didn’t get much chance to put her through the paces too much. I did notice though that the wireless trigger I got for the XT is not compatible with the 40D…bummer!
