Dontcha hate it when your bride-and-groom portrait gets photo-bombed?
Okay, maybe not if it's by a Beluga whale. And for Vancouver wedding photographer (and Strobist reader) Vivian Chung, this well-planned cameo was no accident.

In this 4th episode of PPCCC, we meet up with commercial photographer, Mark Chung, for a portrait session. But we give him a little surprise other than the cheap camera – the model he has to shoot is not a professional one, in fact, he’s not even a model.

Following on from the discussions about Dean Mouhtaropoulos’ decision to use a Panasonic to capture the Olympics, here’s further support for the ‘it’s the photographer, not the gear’ argument. Photojournalist, videographer and dpreview contributor Dan Chung has been capturing the Olympic experience with his iPhone. In conjunction with some binoculars, a clip-on Schneider lens and the Snapseed processing app, he’s been live-blogging from the games. The images are understandably small but present a fascinating, near-live insight into what’s happening in London. (From The Guardian)
DSLRnewsshooter’s Dan Chung has been speaking to Canon USA Technical Advisor Chuck Westfall for more details about the company’s 4K Cinema EOS offerings. Both the 500C and 1D C are skewed towards cinema and high-end television production, rather than documentary and news work, Westfall says, but hints that ‘peaking’ and ‘zebra’ focusing aids could be added to the 1D C if the market demands it.
Award-winning photojournalist and videographer Dan Chung from DSLR News Shooter has just posted a video shootout pitting the Canon EOS 5D Mark III against the Nikon D800. In the interesting and in-depth article accompanying it, Chung looks at the video features of both cameras in detail and compares them, not only in terms of output quality, but also usability.
Award-winning photographer Dan Chung explains why he thinks there’s no future for traditional photojournalism. As a staff photographer for the Guardian and Reuters, Dan has been touring the world’s trouble-spots for more than a decade, supplying images to newspapers and websites all over the globe. But although he made his name as a stills photographer, he’s been shooting increasing amounts of video both for the web and for TV. We asked him why.
