  • Canon EOS 50D litterature

    On the Canon USA web site, there are a few interesting articles about the recent Canon EOS 50D. A good way to evaluate the performance we all can expect from this nice camera for enthusiasts. EOS 50D: Quick Control Screen EOS 50D: Peripheral Illumination Correction And remember that Full Frame cameras are for the richest…

    Métro, collages, déchirures

    I created on RedBubble a calendar (for 2009) that I think should be interesting for people in love with all kinds of artistic alterations. Images taken from the Paris metropolitan railway (le Métro) in a station under heavy repair. It brought images from the past (probably 20 years ago or more) through the remains of…

  • Kenya in photo safari

    You will probably notice a little slow down in publication of posts here in the coming days: I am travelling for a few days to Kenya in order to shoot photos in the Masai Mara National Park during the great migration of herbivores (wildebeests and zebras, mostly). I will be there with Alain Pons, wildlife…

  • Nikon D90, video visit

    Digital Rev prepared a video presentation of the new Nikon low-to-middle-range digital SLR camera: Nikon D90. Link to YouTube Here you can see the video recording feature in operation.

  • Canon, only on the 22nd?

French magazine Réponse Photo has delayed its parution date to…

  • Canon EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II

    After some interesting comments seen about the age of the current EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS tele-zoom from Canon (for example, in the recent test done by Chasseur d’Images), there is now an active rumour about the arrival of a real replacement. The Canon EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II would no longer be a push-pull design…

    Canon EOS 5D MkII shadows

    This is what appears on the Canon teaser about the upcoming Canon EOS 5D MkII. As we can see, Canon made sure that several important zones are hidden (the yellow-ish parts at the bottom, at the top of the lens, under the EOS marking). But we can see that the design is much smoother than…
