Just Posted: Canon PowerShot S100 hands-on preview. We’ve had a chance to use the S100 and find just what’s changed from the much-liked S95. The example we had was too early for us to be allowed to shoot with but we’ve studied the details (such as the maximum available aperture through its zoom range), to give you an idea of what Canon’s latest enthusiast compact brings.

Sea Wind Canoe on the Loveland Pass
Last Sunday, when returning from the Colorado River Race in Glenwood Canyon, I drove over the Loveland Pass to avoid delays in the Eisenhower Tunnel. It didn’t help much. I was still stuck in a traffic below the tunnel. However, I enjoyed a few stops at highway 6 at and below the Loveland Pass. It was foggy, cloudy and mysterious. Time to time I could see the slow traffic on the Interstate 25 below.
This year, I paddled my Sea Wind Canoe in the Colorado River Race. I got a really good workout there. The race was dominated by SUPs (stand-up paddlers). You can find some pictures from the race and more commentary on the Fitness Paddling blog.

Hidden Lake, Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park suffers from no shortage of iconic vistas and formations. Hidden Lake lookout, above Logan Pass, is a place you can lose yourself taking in the iconic vistas and mountain peaks. Even the locals (Mountain Goats, Marmots and Bighorn Sheep) seem to stop to enjoy the views from time to time. They also seem to enjoy watching visiting photographers as I found out. The Mountain Goats (photos to come) might just surprise you by being right behind you and Marmots aren’t too shy about inspecting your gear. In fact on a previous trip to Glacier National Park a Marmot tried to take off with my tripod. Now that I think about it perhaps the locals here are closet photographers when no one is around
Special thanks to BorrowLenses.com as both of these photos were made using their Zeiss Distagon T* 3.5/18mm ZE and Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS USM lenses.

Bjorn Stopped By the House on the Way Home…
I first met photographer / retoucher Bjorn Holland in London a few years ago, just before he was to head out on a little motorcycle ride. Eighty thousand miles later, he stopped by my house for a visit on the last leg of his round-the-world trip.Given that he did not have an official portrait from the journey, we decided to fix that with a trio of speedlights — and one very big light mod… Read more »

Just Posted: Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 ZA / NEX-7 samples
Just Posted: Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 ZA preview samples gallery. At the press launch we’ve had a chance to shoot with Sony’s latest E-mount prime lens: the Zeiss-branded 36mm equivalent 24mm F1.8 ZA. We’ve been shooting the lens on a pre-production NEX-7 to show its performance in front of a 24MP sensor. As usual we’ve tried to shoot the lens in a variety of conditions and at a variety of apertures to give an idea about how it behaves.

This is my first 3d stereoscopic video.It was made with 3dsmax 2009/2010. I used 2 virtual camera with a max script to open and close the distance between the target camera. The original project was composed from 2 video: left side video and right side video.For the projection i used 2 videoprojector with a polarized filter on ,one for each video.I used a silver screen to project on the videos.
