Thanks for taking a look over the last year. We appreciate it!

News!

Since every website/blog/chatterbox allready posted this... I cant fall behind, now can i?

A "in the wild sighting of new goodies!!"

The author was on a safari and spotted a japanese gentleman with these new goodies. Im sure the cameras in those pics arent the new 1Dx, ive had one of those in my hands, and this aint one! (I got invited to a lookie-feelie at Canon's Netherlands HQ some time ago.)

The internet fora are all exploding with wishlists etc... Cant really be bothered with that, im sure when Canon makes a new model, it will be better then the last one. And im still pretty happy with my 7D set-up. But there is always room for inprovement, no?

Our 366 project is coming along nicely! 7D, G12, SX210, Iphone... Taking a pic a day is easy with that many camera's around.




Now only to find a format to show them. Any idea's?? Mail or comment!

2012-1

Well, here it is... 2012. Still trying my hand on baby photography...

We took our little boy to a fellow hobby photographer, a close personal friend who wanted to try her hand on taking some nice shots of us. We all had great fun doing it!

We started a 366 project ourselves on the 1st of januari, i hope we can keep it up. :) Our goal is to make 1 photo every day, doesnt matter which camera/pose/whatever. Should be fun to do.

Close-up Fox

I took some pics with the Canon G12 the other day. This little fella came so close that the 300mm wouldnt focus anymore. So, i quickly changed to my G12.





Too bad the ISO was still at 800. But when we meet again, Mr Fox, i will be more prepared!

The Canon G12 Compact Camera

Ive purchased the G12 this week. My Ixus 60 was getting a little long in the tooth, and didnt focus properly any more. Maybe i shouldnt have dropped it...




Anyway, browsing for a new compact with loads of features brought me to the G12. Its ability to shoot in RAW mode, and the ability to choose a wide range of settings was particularly appealing to me.



Its equipped with a 28-140mm lens with Hybrid IS. It can do some digital zooming, but i avoid that most of the time. In my experience digital zoom usually just adds noise to a photo.

Compared to the 7D it feels really tiny and plasticly, but its very sturdy. I was a bit concerned about the swivel-screen on the back, but i guess Canon knew what they were doing when they designed it. It works great, and is easy to use.



One of the settings for display gives you the entire range of info. Diafragm, Mode, which format you are shooting in, a level, a grid, etc. Very handy. I find myself using it a lot, instead of the viewfinder which i think is too small.



You dont have to dive into the meny to change most of the settings. Everything can be found on top of the camera. Exposure, ISO and shooting mode are at the tip of your fingers. The buttons give a nice "click", so there is little chance of mistakingly changing settings. (Which can happen on the 7D and 5D, for instance.)

One of the big plusses on this little camera is the ability to use one of Canon's flashguns. Since most photographers hate to use the built in flash, either on a DLSR or a compact, a very usefull feature. Files shot in RAW can be processed with Canon's DPP, which is provided on the CD.


I havent really been able to put it thru its paces yet, but here are two shots ive made;







A very nice add-on for my set-up. I have it with me at all times. I also got a Powershot 210IS for the missus, ill get to that one in another post.
