Sarah & Matt - part two

Here are a few more pictures from Sarah & Matt's wedding.

Is tomorrow D-Day?!?!

Okay, so I am not usually one to believe rumors but for some reason there is one rumor that I am afraid I believe and I will know for sure tomorrow whether I fell for just another rumor or not.

The Canon 5D has been out for a few years now with no replacement, this is weird because camera companies, including Canon, put new bodies out every 18 months on consumer models and 36 months for pro models. Since the 5D is considered a pro body, it is due for a replacement.

I found this link not too long ago and I have read so many people talking about whether it is true or not. Last year there was a log of talk about a Canon 7D or the other name for the same product was 5D Mark II. I believed it was going to be named Canon 5D Mark II but now I am thinking that Canon 7D will be the name as I seen a post on a forum about a UPC code for the Canon EOS 7D.

Here is something interesting that I discovered today. Now, this was not found on any forum, this is just my crazy head playing with numbers. The release date is April 22nd, the date of availability is June 2. Now follow this...

4/22/08 = 16
6/02/08 = 16

They are the same...weird.


1 + 6 = 7 (7D?)

Another coincidence? We will know tomorrow.

Update: it is now after midnight so officially it is the 22nd of April here on the east coast of the US. No sign of the 5D yet...I think it is a huge hoax!

Sarah & Matt

Wow, another amazing wedding today. It was a very emotional wedding and I believe there was more to it than just wedding day emotions. The bride and bridesmaid, again, were a blast! I have only been through the first card of pictures and I have already found a few that I love.

Im 28 today...WOW!

Well today I turned 28 yrs old. I had a nice relaxing day with the family and my daughter has been singing happy birthday to me all day...its very sweet. Of course for gifts I got cash, per request and I have already spent it in my head, now I just gotta make my orders!

Anyway, I made a cute video of my daughter singing happy birthday...

Katja and Kyle

What a cool wedding! Katja was a blast to hang with for the day and a real pleasure to shoot. Her and the bridesmaids hung out at this really cool house and had so much potential for photographs. I didn't get much of a chance to hang with Kyle but he was a great guy and he cried at the wedding...it was a very emotional wedding. Here are a few pics. Also, this was the first wedding back with Canon! Man I am I happy I made the switch.

The switch is complete!!!

Okay, so I decided last week to make the switch from Nikon back to Canon. I received my 5D body and grip today, along with two lenses, a 24-70 2.8L and a 70-200 2.8L. Friday I should receive my 30D backup body, 100mm Macro 2.8 and dual 580EXII flashes. Then my next order should contain a 15mm Fisheye and a 50mm 1.4.

I shot with the 5D moments ago and I used 1600 ISO because I knew that wasn't something I was not comfortable doing with the Nikon! The results at 1600 was amazing!

Blogging from my iPhone

So I got an iPhone today and I wanted to see how well it works for blogging and I actually love it! It looks like my Canon gear should all be here this week and I am very excited. Well that's about it for today.

Go BODA Baby!!!

Okay, so I recently picked up a Boda Dry while I was at Photoshop World. I wore it for almost a whole day carrying a 70-200 2.8, 50 1.8, SB800, batteries...basically a days worth of gear; plus of course what was hanging around my neck. I can NOT believe how comfortable and evenly distributed the weight was.

If you are a photographer that carries more than one lens or currently shoots with two bodies. Well put one of your bodies back in the case and only carry one body and all the lenses you need. The Boda Dry offers completely one-handed operation and holds everything you need for a days shoot.

GO BODA!!!

Photoshop World in Orlando, FL

Well I am currently sitting in a lounge at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida attending the Photoshop World conference. So far it has been a great conference and I have two classes left, which are the two I am most excited about.

During my time here I have decided to go back to Canon. I had the opportunity to hold and shoot a Canon 5D again and with words of the 5D Mark II coming out in the fall, I am going to make the move. I am getting the following equipment hopefully in the next week.

Canon 5D w/grip
Canon 40D w/grip (this will probably be my sports camera and just a backup to the 5D)
16-35 f2.8
24-70 f2.8
70-200 f2.8 IS
550EX Flash x 2
1.4 Converter

I am getting ready to head into the last tech expo to speak with more vendors. I am also going to swing my Canon's booth and shoot the 5D again just for fun!!!
