    Our new site with unique photos (no kidding!): Feedback wanted

    I really understand you. However, I'm afraid that the fragile equilibrium which exists there will be destroyed - not that I think now at women per se, but - you know - tourism and related stuff. Nowadays, even if Holy Mountain is, in fact, a peninsula, you can get there only by boat. Also, you...

    Thanks a lot for the advice. :) However my intention isn't/wasn't to promote myself, but rather to document the truth from the Holy Mount Athos.

    Thanks a lot for your nice words. Yes, shooting monks is a real game changer. And I don't mean it from professional POV only. OTOH, about Orthodoxy and monastic life: you're right. That's why it is a great responsibility on my shoulders as a photojournalist. About other countries: we'll see...

    Thanks a lot for your appreciations! Yes, I'm a close friend of them. The images are covering a range of time from before of controversy till nowadays and they're depicting the reality. I didn't thought about a PR thing from my side, but somehow I'm glad about this. Indeed the monastery was...

    Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM

    The lens is very good for any kind of portraits (especially low-light ones) because allows us to separate the subject from surroundings and to shoot from some distance, giving stunning results. For example: http://asceticexperience.com/portfolio/lord-loves/...

    Canon 28-300L 'super-zoom'

    I find it quite useful. Of course, it is heavy but there are situations when you cannot afford swapping the lenses (for me the main reason is that the things are happening quickly in front of me) or you cannot afford to carry more than one lens with you (for ex. trekking). Quality is good -...

    Magic Lantern adds 1/3-1/2 stop of dynamic range - just like that.

    The critical question: Does ML work with the latest 5D3 firmware? The version 1.2.3 of the firmware has enough time now in our cameras, however ML supports (AFAIS) just 1.1.3 It is so hard to fix / test it against 1.2.3?

    New Camera Sensor Eliminates Need for Flash

    There is also another thing: "Ultrasensible photon hunter": http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121107073046.htm All these things gives us theoretically much more freedom (for ex. think about crystal clear 12800 ISO) because I think that some integrated ways to reduce the sensitivity...

    New patents for Canon fast primes

    It seems that some high quality fast prime lenses (50mm f/1.2, 50mm f/1.4 - there is also an 45mm f/1.6 and a 60mm f/1.8) are in the pipeline at Canon. I am not sure though (from translation) that they are EF lenses. See at...
