Canon EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS USM Review
2008-05-12 18:32:00
The EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L IS USM is clearly the winner when it comes to a combination of quality and convenience. The ability to zoom out to 400mm makes it much more useful for situations where action can be close or far away, for example in sports photo...

Canon EOS Rebel XSi Review
2008-05-12 18:15:00
We kicked off our session in Auto, with maximum JPEG size (4272 x 2848 pixels) and in burst mode. Here the camera handles all the settings?focus, white balance and ISO; you just adjust the zoom and fire away. And blast away the XSi certainly does. Th...

Muir Woods
2008-05-10 01:36:00
I haven't updated in a while, and I suspect I won't be updating that much in the coming months. Mostly that is because I added a third job to our already busy lives. Actually, the funny thing is, I've spent the day at Job #1 (Grad Student) yet primarily worked on Job #3 (editing textbooks) and a little of Job #2 (tutoring... today was organization stuff, not the tutoring part). Job #3 has really fried my brain today, so excuse any grammar mistakes.If anybody has a seed for a money tree, let me know!Anyway, I wanted to get a short little post up with some photos. Last week my parents visited and on Sunday we took a trip to Muir Woods which is a beautiful, magical place... even if so many tourists are there you have to park half a mile away. It is hard not getting beautiful shots with the monster trees all around.On the flip side, Muir Woods is a great demonstration of large dynamic range. Even shooting RAW I had a lot of shots with blown shadows and highlights. BTW, I'm sta...
