Congratulations to all especially my friend Charles Glatzer of http://www.shootthelight.com/. I have travelled with Chas on numerous trips and he is one of the BEST photographers I have ever had the pleasure to meet. His photographic expertise is boundless and as a teacher is second to none. Its been a long time coming but you deserve it.

That's great news for those guys. Big achievement.

I figure if Canon keeps their low ISO DR where it is for the next 10 years and Sony sensors go up 18 stops, I might have a chance of being an explorer of light by default of being the only landscape photographer left using Canon gear. :)

Very good stuff here! Also proud that Canon still retains the credibility of its Explorers of Light program by only giving the title to truly talented masters in their craft...unlike another camera brand that's just handing it out to any influential personality that will help sell cameras. LOL
