We’ve been doing a lot of renovation preparation around the house. What that means is we decided to redo the floors in our living room And, once we started looking at floors, expanded it to a short hallway and then the dining room. And while we had repainted the living room and hallway when we moved in last year, we had done nothing with the dining room. (Well, aside from buying a really funky dining room set with pumpkin orange leather chairs.)
The camera war between Nikon and Canon, that is, as Nikon announced their next camera - the D700, a “full frame” chip camera that slots in just below the top-of-the-line D3. Aimed squarely at Canon’s full frame 5D, it looks likely to tromp it based on the specs published.
A lot of my students ask why I’m so interested in the full frame cameras (currently Canon’s 5D and 1Ds Mark III and Nikon’s D3). A lot of it has to do with having grown up with 35 mm film and part of it has to do with some esoteric bits of optics and physics.
Took a western journey last week, two friends from grad school finally got around to getting hitched. I’m sure the locale - Laguna Beach, on a cliff overlooking the ocean - seemed like a great idea months ago when they were planning, but I’m not sure they thought about 102 degree temperatures …
Regardless, it made for a nice sunset …
As with any new toy piece of technology, you need to test. So, here’s a test of video on the blog …
I’m in the process of updating and rebuilding mejphoto.com (in case you hadn’t noticed all the construction). The “old site” with my portfolio and resume is still online and will be for some time. I’ll stick a permanent link over on the side in the next day or two.
Hang on, this could be a bumpy ride …
