Shot these two “tails against sun” photos yesterday on the way to a photography store in San Diego. Was supposed to be a “Training” on Nik software, but it was a waste of time so at least I got some photography in!!

Thai Buddhist Temple Sunday

Vin — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:35:59 +0000

Gina and I went to her temple last Sunday, then for a massage, then to the Americana mall in Glendale.

The ceremony consists of: giving the monks their spoonful of rice symbolic of giving sustenance, prayers on the little floor mats while they eat, and then eating our own food once they’re finished. It was fun, and the people were nice just like any church. Kindness and personal responsibility seemed to be a dominant theme in the “chant” while the monks ate.

I used the Canon G9 for these, and tried not to be too much of a tourist.

Diving in Woods Cove

Vin — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:47:48 +0000

Saturday’s dive at Woods Cove was pretty cool once you got used to the surgey nature around the reefs. Gary’s housing had sprung a leak, but he hung in there anyway. Many of the shots I took looked “soft” until you zoomed to 100% and saw the tiny minutiae of life that from a distance makes the surface of much of the sponges, corals, etc. look “fuzzy”. I think we need to dive there again and go further out to see what is among the reefs in 30+ feet deep.

5D Mark II slow to ship; the world waits on backorder

Vin — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:46:42 +0000

Well, that fantastic new camera I preordered from Ritz in October is still showing “on backorder”. Ritz tells me there’s been none of their allocation received by them yet, and I’ll certainly get mine when they get theirs.

Here’s what some people are saying:

http://www.1001noisycameras.com/2008/12/as-the-canon-5d-mark-ii-world-turns.html

I am getting antsy as I’ve held off several projects waiting to take advantage of low noise, high ISO and the cool HD movies….

Canon 5D Mark II SHIPS TODAY!!!!!

Vin — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:00:18 +0000

I have an insider friend who says the new 5D Mark II is shipping to all stores TODAY! This is good news because we may have in time for Thanksgiving (and wouldn’t that be a nice thing to be thankful for?)

For those who don’t know, this camera has been pre-ordered from Ritz for the past few months. I am excited by the possibilities of full frame, ultra high ISO/Low Noise, 1080P Hi-Def video capture, etc. This camera will blow away the comptetition at this price, particularly if you have good Canon lenses already.
