A great way to capture a sport creatively is trough making silhouettes. Normally, when shooting into direct sunlight, I advice to work with flashes to fill in the subjects. However, now we are going to accentuate the shadow in this image. This way you only see the shapes of the object you are shooting and gives a great effect. (more…)
A Canon 1D Mark IV Review with full size movies and info on hd movies, iso, custom functions and burst capeabilities.
For the last 2 years, we missed a high-end asp-c-camera in the product line of canon. Nikon was a long time to strong with the Nikon D300 for Canon. Nevertheless, now there is solid answer from Canon The Canon EOS 7D, a new design with a lot of new great features on board! With the new Canon EOS 7D there is a new choice for Sports and Nature photographers, with a lot of new features, there is something between the pro-sumer 40 and 50D and the 1D-mark III (or now the IV).

The canon 1D Mark III is my long time favorite, lightning fast and great results. Although there are some conversations circulating about AF (Auto Focus) problems. Me myself i did not have any experience about this. almost always when a picture was out-of-focus i could think of something I’ve done wrong. But further with great ISO performance, 10 frames per sec. 10 Megapixel this is a great cam for me. Currently using only one, but hopefully use 2 of those bodies will be the perfect situation for me.
