For anyone who is looking to purchase Canon lenses, there are a number of rebates available from October 22, 2009 to January 10, 2010. Remember that rebates are only good at authorized Canon dealers such as B&H Photo Video and Amazon to just name a few.

Canon has finally pulled the covers on the long awaited Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, but the question is on all our minds: will it deliver and deliver exceptionally good?

The Canon EOS 1D/1Ds Mark III dSLRs have been what the Vista operating system has been to Microsoft: plagued by problems and bad press. So rather than releasing a 1D Mark IIIn (essentially a mid-year update), Canon has released, what many of us Canon photographers hope, is our saving bliss: a brand new model.

Ly and Rene Wedding

October 14, 2009

Ly and Rene’s wedding was a beautiful gala of Asian colors rich with Asian and Hispanic culture. Started off with the Chinese/Vietnamese Tea Ceremony at Ly’s house that included some Hispanic traditions that then progressed to a photo shoot at the gorgeous Warrior Lake on California State University Stanislaus (better known as Stan State). The reception was held at the American Legion Hall in Modesto, CA. I should note that Ly’s hair and makeup was done by her sister, absolutely amazing work! All the photography would not be possible without my amazing friends: Eric, Rendy, and Lynn shooting with me. Click in to enjoy the pictures and the slideshow (definitely watch the slideshow, has more pics).

Nikon, not content to just sit on it laurels, has released a highly anticipated follow-up to their hugely successfully and game changing professional digital SLR, the Nikon D3, with the Nikon D3s, a faster newer and higher ISO capable digital SLR and the first professional digital SLR with video.
