“Snappy” Fact: The landscape where this photo was taken (Killbear Provincial Park) may have served as a source of inspiration for the Group of Seven.

Weekend With Canon (A 3-Part Mini-Series) – Part “the deuce”: The images
_N2A0347

5th Ave. looking north. Shot at F8 or something I think.

I have mentioned in the first part of this 3-part mini series that this was the first time I am using a Canon DSLR at length. So, I am really in unfamiliar territory with this in terms of how the auto focus system behaves, and how the metering system is like, etc., etc. Handling, ergonomics, and menu digging aside, I did feel somewhat at home with the taking picture part of this system.  Much like with any modern day DSLR, (more…)

Snappy Fridays – Getting Into PanAm Mode Yet?

The PanAm Torch Relay Passing my office tower

This passed by my office tower not too long ago.  Sorry for the terrible digital zoom and small resolution too…but hey, this was the best “snap” shot I was going to get from up on the 17th floor!  😛  XP  XD

ASA? ISO? DIN?!? What’s the Difference?
Boxes of film can have all sorts of numbers on them. What do they mean?

Boxes of film can have all sorts of numbers on them. What does that big number on the box or canister mean?

I get a few people who ask me what the difference is between ASA and ISO, and an even more random mention of what DIN is.  All three terms are used to describe film speed or, more technically, film sensitivity.

…after a terrible commute home?

Cook yourself a quick, but great meal to enjoy with your kid!  This was cooked in about 1/2 hour and in our stomachs in about 10 minutes!

How’s that for “snappy”?  XD

Weekend With Canon (A 3-Part Mini-Series) – Part “the first”: The Body of the 5DS
It's nice of Canon to reminds us to Bring It. You know extra memory cards, batteries, lenses, etc.,

It’s nice of Canon to reminds us to Bring It.  You know: extra memory cards, batteries, lenses, etc.

Thank you to Fotocare for holding this rental for me.  <-Useless plug, well maybe.

Let me get something out of the way first. Canon’s 5DS is the first Canon DSLR that I have spent any significant time with. I have shot DRebels, and A 7D Mk1, but only for a few shots, and really just a quick look with some of my various friends gears.

Having said that, the main reason why I never really considered Canon (more…)

Shooting Canon’s 5DS has been challenging to say the least.  Challenging in a sense that I truly hate it’s ergonomics.

Anyway, resolution wise my old D700 won’t be able to keep up, but let’s see how my Nikkor 50mm F/1.4D holds up against the much more expensive and much bigger Canon 50mm F1.2 L II

Will be shooting comparison shots throughout the day.  Stay tuned.
