    These bald eagles were photographed in Minnesota. 20 years ago I’d be lucky to see a few bald eagles per year, now they’ve recovered to a level where I’ll see a few each week.... nice to see! North

    Matthew....absolute fantastic video! I'm sure they were very happy with it! Did you shoot all of it with the canon 1DC ? Also, what glass did you use? North

    24-70 II slight clicking sound when zooming

    I’ve had mine since March 2013 and it did make the clicking noise at first, but slowly went away. I’ve been using it for 2.5 years now and it’s a fantastic lens. I use it primarily for indoor sports action and it focuses quickly and accurately and the IQ is fantastic. I had forgot that my copy...

    Re: Deal: Adobe Creative Cloud 12 Month Photography Plan $89 (Reg $119) Thanks Private...good advice as usual. I do mainly sports /fast turn so it makes sense now why he suggested it to me. But I need the editing, so the search continues.

    Re: Deal: Adobe Creative Cloud 12 Month Photography Plan $89 (Reg $119) I’m looking to make a change (still using Aperture for most of my work) This is tempting....BUT, a friend recently told me how much he likes Photo Mechanic. Does anybody else use Photo Mechanic and if so do you like...

    Anything Shot with a 1Dx mark II

    My first thought is that they fixed the 1/2 stop underexposed issue with the 1dx. Otherwise, the photos look similar to me. Crapking, how is the AF in fast action compared to the 1dx? North

    Ended: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II $1449 (Reg $1799)

    Re: Great Deal: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II $1449 (Reg $1799) This is a fantastic lens for me. I use it all the time for basketball and I get very sharp photos of fast moving action at f2.8.

    1DX MkII samples page

    after downloading and viewing a few of these images i have to say that the improvement over the 1DX is not noticeable IMO. I’ve looked at 100,000 plus shots I’ve taken with the 1dx at ISO 3200 and above....looks the same to me. the reason for upgrading are all the small improvements/upgrades...

    Tips on shooting hockey?

    after a little more thought...here’s a shot taken at 1/1250th, f3.5, ISO 3200. I have no fears of shooting the 1dx at ISO 3200, so I gave the light to my aperture and shutter speed...but as you can see, i could’ve shot this at f 4.0, ISO 1600 and 1/500th (if my math is right) (i’m drinking beer...
