what Canon is up to? 3rd of November 2011 is when they are going to make this *historic* annoucement in Hollywood CA so my hunch is Canon is going to release a cinematic camera??
Wonder if they are going to release some EF lenses like a 24-70 f2.8 II L as that would be sweet for wedding photographers…
Ah well all will be released soon I suppose.
It is that time of year again when the white trunk (no idea on the species / scientific name is sorry) Eucalypt trees around Perth lose their winter blanket. It is amazing how these trees go through this cycle every year without fail. It sounds like nature at its best, but (there always is a but…) spare a thought for the cleaners or backyard garderners who have to pick up the fallen bark as it creates a big mess!!!

Wow… I never thought I would hit and go past the 100th blog post. Here is me congratulating myself 
yay…
Man… this is a very difficult competition, for those people who don’t know what it is about, go visit the Canon Photo5 http://www.canon.com.au/en-au/worldofeos/photo5/home?cid=emphoto5110933
Anyway… here are my entries for this year. I am actually glad I entered the competition even if I don’t win anything (me being a realist ) It really makes you think and get those creative juices flowing.
I would encourage anyone who is into photography to get involved next year. It is open to anyone and is not exclusively for Canon people.
Wow… amazing stuff, Canon has just released the successor to the current EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV and it is impressive. Once again, canon rumours has the full specs of this new
beast
and I mean a real beast!!!
Maybe it is time to save up some real cash pending wife approval of course 
So… is it finally going to be announced? A new 5DmkIII or a 1D MkV??? Rumours is still out there… but not long now, 1 more sleep to go… canon rumours has reported that there is going to be a new camera annoucement in Singapore:
Canon Singapore will be holding a press event on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 for an “important global announcement”.
So lets see what will get unleashed in the canon camp tomorrow
I recently purchased some Lexar Professional 16gb CF cards 60Mb/s after recommendation from the boys at PRA Imaging. Initially I was quite hesitant as I have always been a SanDisk sort of guy and have been shooting with a SanDisk 60Mb/s card.
After testing it in the field yesterday, having shot 2 weddings yesterday I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of the Lexar cards, especially when I needed the burst mode. Looks like the SanDisk will now be kept as a backup card, sorry SanDisk… we will always have the memories!!!
One week after his passing, tributes are still pouring in… this shot was taken last night at the Perth Apple store. shot taken with an iPhone.

Was walking to QV1 building today and I heard this thunderous noise in the sky and I had no idea what was causing the racket. All of a sudden 4 helicopters appeared in the Perth skies and they were flying low that’s when I realised it was the preparation for CHOGM later this month. At that time I had in my iphone with me and I instinctively started the app clearcam and of course it was the wrong choice to use as it takes 4 continuous shots in succession and chooses the clearest of the 4 and discards the rest, needless to say… I was cursing myself for using this app!!! I was hoping for another opportunity and as it so happens I was given the opportunity this time I decided to use the iphone’s native camera app but so has it, the iphone needed some time to load the app… arrgggghhh why is nothing simple these days??? So anyway this is what I managed to shoot and then I used snapseed to bump up the saturation. I am pleased with the results given the complexity of the situation

I normally don’t do food pictures when we go out for lunch or dinner but today’s occasion certainly calls for one. It’s Mother’s Day and what better opportunity to bring my mum and my wife “very soon to be mother” to Mosman’s Restaurant for a special mother’s day luncheon. The food was really really good and the luncheon ended with coffee and macaroons… yuuuuummmmm
