The linguist in me just loves articles like this. Be sure to read the comments to the previous article as well, I got many a good laugh reading the discussion going back and forth in defence of the English spelling. And don’t miss the reference to Finnish – although the thing about not having any…
This day was even worse than yesterday – just as foggy, but now we got rain as well. Lovely. So it was another long walk with the G10 and this time I experimented with the ISO values. And again I agree with what everyone says, the IQ is usable up to ISO 200 and anything…
My first day day out with the new Canon PowerShot G10! And what a lousy day it was. By that I mean the weather – I wasn’t missing the 40D in any case so having the new camera to test meant that at least I got something done and not just sit inside all day…
You’re not gonna believe this but… I just got myself a compact camera, Canon PowerShot G10 to be exact. I have wanted a small portable camera for a long time now. The 40D is no lightweight, neither is the 24-105mm zoom lens. Put these together and you’re dealing with a big and heavy camera. There…
Since there’s been some talk about me being a photo purist who doesn’t like manipulate pictures, I thought I should confess to some photo fixing every once in a while. The real issue I’ve been preaching about is disclosure – manipulate all you want, but I think it’s only fair that the manipulation is disclosed.…
Since I had a lot of bird activity at the feeder again, I decided to zoom with my feet and set up shop just over 3 metres from the feeder. This meant that I was out in the open and the great tits seemed to mind it, but the smaller birds and nuthatches kept happily…
I had made a lot of plans today but as it often happens, I didn’t do everything I had planned. Despite this it turned out to be a very productive day, I got squirrels and birds and landscapes and close-ups, all in glorious sunshine and then sunset and dusk. I even did some scouting for…
Winter is on schedule – got the first snow on the 29th. It will of course melt away soon but here’s hoping for more snow later. It was a very wet beginning for the month and we got 68mm rain in the first 5 days. The last 5 days it was cold. * * *…
I was looking at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner images and noticed something interesting – three of the winning bird images are taken in Finland (by foreign photographers). That got me thinking, we have largely the same kind of wildlife and same kind of sceneries here in Sweden, but Finland has succeeded much…
I did my homework and found out that many other people have discovered exactly the same problem I have with the shutter release button, and it looks like it’s not just the 40D but other models as well. Judging by what people have written, Canon denies that this is a construction issue and sure enough…
