Canon have just launched a large number of price drops on almost every L-Series lens I can think of. Some of the notable savings are on the incredible Canon 200-400 (review), where you can save $800! You can also save $150 on the 24-105 and $500 on the 300mm f/2.8 L IS II.

I’ve been using the 7D Mark II for a few months now and the more I use it, the more I like it. Of course when it came out, the first question that people wanted to know was: “How is the high ISO performance?” Before the 7D Mark II arrived, my main camera was the 5D Mark III (I just LOVE the smaller form factor of these cameras Vs. the 1-D style). I was looking to use the 7D Mark II for wildlife photography, paired with my 200-400 f/4 L IS and my main question was what the performance was …
Over on my tutorial site, Shutter Muse, I’ve just published an in-depth article about MTF charts and how to read them.
I’m pleased to announce today that Apple’s latest global “Shot On iPhone” ad campaign will feature one of my recent images taken with my iPhone 6+. Their latest campaign aims to feature the work of their customers, both amateur and professional photographers, and as a longtime Apple user, I couldn’t be more excited to be chosen as part of this project!

Hey guys, I’ve got a guest post over on the B&H Photo blog today which goes into detail on how I created this image of the skier. It was a cool setup using Pocketwizards, hypersync and Einstein flash. Check it out HERE!
My local new outlet in British Columbia recently published an article about me and my most recent wildlife photography in the newspaper. That article is now available online HERE. It’s a great little piece and I hope you check it out 🙂
Hasselblad’s 40 megapixel H5D-40 camera has a staggering saving applied to it at the moment. You can pick one up for ‘only’ $9995, nearly a 50% saving on the regular price of $18,500. The H5D-40 kit with the 80mm lens also has the same discount applied to it, making it a snip at only $12,495. These are the kind of savings that might genuinely make a medium format camera a possibility for some professionals! Staggering pricing that even had me glancing at my credit card 🙂

Last weekend I set out on a quick camping trip to make the most of some gorgeous clear weather we had here in British Columbia. Of course, I took the 7D Mark II with me as part of my ongoing test program for it and this time I’d planned to shoot some night sky images, particularly some star trails. Since I needed to carry both camera gear AND camping gear, I transferred things into a much larger hiking pack. I thought that I’d got everything, but I was in a rush and unfortunately the one thing that I managed to …
