Not a great photo, but just to illustrate the fun kids and adults had today in the snow in Central Park, New York City. Taken this morning with my Canon Powershot G9.

Loads of Travelling

dwyersean — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:29:54 +0000

Once again it’s copious amounts of car time. The last three weeks have been just one constant road trip after another with a couple of days at home. The kids are beginning to notice my absence. I picked up a hamstring injury preparing for a marathon in November and thanks to all the car time it’s not really improving, it just seems to rotate around and around the upper leg and hip. Bummer.

I’ll just have to parcel up some sympathy and leave it under the christmas tree for Christmas day. Mmm, some sympathy, with a few glasses of Connemara Peated Single Malt, some good food and the kids creating havoc. All this before 7am. Never mind the hamstring, bring on the nut loaf…

These nude mannequins provided a surrealistic photo opportunity outside the Bergdorf Goodman department store on Fifth Avenue, New York City. I happened to run into them with my Canon G9 powershot. Some days you just get lucky

I could not resist using this Armani poster as a back drop for passers-by. These men seem to be in a serious discussion while their baser instincts are illustrated in back of them.

Elkeserítő Canon EOS 7D teszt [vs 450D vs 1Ds Mk III vs G9 vs G11 vs Nikon D300s]

fotoful — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:55:00 +0000

Tippeljetek: Melyik kép készült 7D-vel és melyik 450D-vel? Ahh igen a címből sejthetitek, hogy a baloldali készült 7D-vel…

Az alábbi tesztben összehasonlításra kerültek a Canon EOS 7D-vel:

Canon EOS 450D
Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III
Canon PowerShot G9
Canon PowerShot G11
Nikon D300s

Majdhogynem mind élesebb képet adtak a tesztjük alapján a 7D-nél, többen-több okot is felhoztak. Ki a RAW konvertert, ki a beállításokat okolja, mindenesetre itt olvashatjátok a teljes tesztet és szeretnénk kiemelni saját tanácsukat is:

De ne higgyetek nekünk! Arra biztatunk mindenkit, hogy ne higgyenek egyetlen tesztelőnek se. Az egyedüli módja annak, hogy teljes mértékben felmérje valaki a 7D képességeit az az, hogy vegye a fáradtságot és menjen el személyesen kipróbálni és hasonlítsa össze a többi készülékkel.

St. Croix This Week- November Cover

Bonnie Luria — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:52:08 +0000

They loom, stilts no challenge for their years of training. Mocko Jumbies are the feature of this months’ cover.

Interpreters of superstitions and spirits of long ago , their contemporaries perform at Jump Up, a four time a year favorite event. I found a great video

on You Tube that gives you an idea of their height and irresistible street cred.

Here’s a link to the ” About the Artist ” page on the inside of the magazine- a place for shameless self promotion, or another tear sheet for my only heir to ruminate over keeping or using it as a book mark.

St. Croix LAST week was the destination for 5 visiting friends, so I took in some beach time, photo time, dining out time, and no painting time. I HAD no time.

What I did have was an additional perspective of where I live through another’s eyes. Mary of 2FramesperSecond, dedicated to the Canon G7, montage’d the synopsis. ( Pay attention, Cloud lovers…this means you, Jala )

Thought to be milkweed bugs, nevermind that thought. Don calls them love bugs, as you’ll read in his comment below and I call them push-me pull-yous. As graphically beautiful as African Masks.

Now another PS: this edit in from dear friend Scott who knows everything flora, fauna, and food, what he states is the scientific name:

“The push-me-pull-you insects are “true bugs” – that’s the correct entomological term for them – “bugs.” They belong to the Hemiptera group of arthropods. They all have piercing-sucking mouthparts. These are found on Malvaceous plants; hibiscus and their kin, especially the beachside Hibiscus tiliacea – the tree with hibiscus-like yellow flowers.” Thanks, Scott. ( love my smart friends )

Water on wood, photographer (me ) on assignment.

Several photographers on assignment, actually. Two friends are photographers for the AP, shooting opposing teams for the World Series. Just made it here by the grace of Game 6, Game over.

A typical scene at the dinner table:

Love this group- they never sit around for too long.

Time spent with family…..

Yes, they’re both real. And that Cloud is a Purina contract waiting to happen.

Ghetto Wireless Flash Triggers

lutonian — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:17:56 +0000

My ghetto “RF-602” wireless flash triggers arrived last Friday, so I thought that I best write a mini review if you have not heard about them.

Previously I had triggered my speed lights and strobes via stock and homemade PC synch cables. This is a reliable method; however it is quite inflexible especially when it comes to manoeuvrability as you are constantly tethered between the camera and your light hardware. I only became aware of the RF-602 wireless triggers after viewing a picture on Flickr taken by the talented http://www.flickr.com/photos/30401683@N06/. Amazon seemed to be a reliable source for acquiring the device, so an order was placed on the Wednesday, with the hardware promptly arriving on the Friday morning.

The RF-602 operates at a frequency of 2.4GHZ, with the option to use 16 different channels to avoid any interference issues from other devices. The pidgin English instructions detail the supported camera models as being : Canon Eos 1D,1DS,5D,5DII,7D,10D,20D,30D,40D,50D. The device does not support ETTL mode and the highest synch speed is 1/250 second. The greatest operating distance of the transmitter/receiver is quoted at 100 metres (328 feet), which is ideal for the majority of photographers. The battery life of the transmitter will give you around 20,000 exposures and the receivers battery life expectancy is 45 hours.

The package consisted of the following items:-

X1 Transmitter
X2 Receivers
Remote Cord
6.35mm (1/4″) PC Sync Cord,
6.35mm to 3.5mm Plug Converter
Batteries for Transmitter (AAA Duracell) & Receiver (CR2 lithium unknown)

Major Parts of RF-602:

A. Controller/Transmitter:

Shutter Button
PC Input Socket
Operation Indicator lamp
Hot Shoe Mount
Channel Switch

B. Receiver :

Power Switch
Channel Switch
Hot Shoe Socket
3-Pin Shutter/Trigger Output Port
Hot Shoe Mount + 1/4″ thread for Tripod Bolt

C. Accessories:

Remote Cord
6.35mm(1/4″) PC Sync Cord
6.35mm to 3.5mm Plug Converter
Batteries for Transmitter

Day One

My 1D was not at hand at the time, so I began my first test with the Canon G9 compact camera. The transmitter fitted snugly on the hot shoe plate of the G9, with the receiver being hooked up to the Canon 580EX speed light. The dip switches were left in their default state for testing. The receiver synchronised with the transmitter as soon the shutter button was half depressed. I was quite surprised to find out that they successfully worked, with no signs of misfiring either. The test was repeated, this time with an extra Canon 480EX speed light being used in conjunction with the 580EX. Success again! Both flashes triggered simultaneously and no misfires were registered. Limited testing of the range of the devices, in this case 10 metres, was also carried out and once again I can confirm that the devices interacted as they should, with no misfiring.

Time for testing the gear with the big Canon! I repeated the same set of protocols as I had used with the G9. Once again I ended up with a 100% success rate without any issues or misfires. The last challenge of the day was to test out the functionality of the remote shutter trigger. A receiver was placed on the hot shoe plate of the 1D, with the three pin remote lead connected (screws into place) from the receiver to the remote control terminal on the side of the 1D. The camera was set to manual focus and a number of test exposures were fired off. Another success was achieved, with the camera triggering each time.

Day Two

Triggering my Elinchrom strobes were the last set of tests that I completed during the weekend. A receiver was hooked up to the Elinchroms via the supplied 6.35mm (1/4″) PC Sync Cord and 6.35mm to 3.5mm Plug Converter. Around 500 exposures were taken without any issues and no misfires occurred.

The only concerns that I do have relate to the durability of the devices. You would not want to drop them from a height as they would disintegrate! No clear weather sealing is visible, therefore it would be unwise to use them in damp/wet conditions and expect them to be 100% reliable.

I will end this post by saying that you cannot go wrong for the price, they are excellent value for money and a no-brainer purchase especially if you are a beginner to the strobist world.

What?!?!?! Collin Clark is an awesome media mogul too!!!

collinclark — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:42:45 +0000

Thats right world, I Collin Clark am also a media mogul of sorts besides being an amazing chef and boyfriend and all around cool guy/man/beast. In two weeks, I Collin Clark, will be helping out G9 Productions with their awesome new production titled, “The Case Study of Marcus Jude”.

The movie will be about this guy named Marcus who is followed around by his own personal demon named Snap-Wrist. It is a story about the day in the life of a “guardian demon”.
Totally Awesome?
YES!!!!

It is based off of a popular book by C.S. Lewis called the “Screwtape Letters”, hence the name Snap-Wrist, it kinda sounds the same. Basically the same concept but not as cool as G9’s version. So…. GET SUPER EXCITED WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The finished product should be done in January, and anyone interested in purchasing a DVD or wants more info just email me the details at collin_clark@hotmail.com.

Besides that I am fine thanks for asking.

MEGA!
