Breaking the Norm: Canon EF 50mm f/1.0L USM Lens

Privacy Watch: Cell Phones, Metadata and Geotagging

Cell phone photography is exploding in use these days. As our ability to take photographs becomes easier, so too does the inadvertent spread of our personal information. Devices such as the iPhone automatically embed GPS data into EXIF data of its photos. Uninformed use of certain social media sites / image hosting services can result in the inadvertent spread of personal information such as your approximate home add

A Practical Review: Canon TS-E 17mm f/4

DNG, RAW and JPEG: What I Use & Why

Almost 5 years ago I wrote an article on the pros and cons of using RAW versus JPEG and why I was shooting in RAW (see RAW vs JPEG: Is Shooting RAW Format For Me?). These days the argument of using RAW versus JPEG is well… not an argument at all.
