After returning from vacation I realized something – I realized that my camera bag was too small.  I have a large Lowepro bag, but with the addition of my 400mm ƒ/5.6L, I can no longer fit that and my 70-200mm ƒ/2.8L IS II.  I stuck the 70-200 in my sisters camera bag on travel but...

That makes 3 Canon 7D’s that have come across my desk!  Ok ok – one was for my sister, and now this one is for work.  We are going to be using this camera for an inspection station.  We started getting quotes for higher megapixel inspection cameras and the prices were very...

Surely everyone has heard all about hurricane Irene and all the damage it has caused up and down the eastern coast.  What a bummer!  We took a moderate risk vacationing in the Florida Keys in August – pretty much peak hurricane season down there.  It is especially risky because storms...

Wow!  It will probably sound lame but I am going to say it – today was my first time flying!  Yeah yeah, I know it’s funny I’ve never been on a plane but we’ve always driven to vacation.  I wasn’t nervous but didn’t really know what to expect.  I left...

Last year on vacation one thing I struggled with was holding my camera and lens combination after many hours in the heat.  I had been shooting with a 7D (and battery grip) with the massive Canon 500mm f/4.0L attached – not a light combination but not immensely heavy: The issue is that...
