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…

I have this recurring dream (or nightmare) that I’m looking at a photo opportunity of a lifetime and then when I press the shutter button, nothing happens. Well, unfortunately it looks like this nightmare is now becoming true – lately the shutter button is not responding as it should. Halfway it’s just fine, it focuses…

I had big plans for the weekend, but I had to revise them already when I woke up – the cold night had turned the wet roads into icy roads, so I had no business driving around with summer tires. I waited until the sun was high enough to thaw out the worst and then…

This is a follow-up to my previous post about using slow shutter speeds. I wanted to elaborate on the water theme a little bit so here goes. * * * The shutter speed to use with moving water is one of the more interesting issues in landscape photography. Some prefer a fast shutter to freeze…

For a very long time I’ve been wondering why I like to use long shutter speeds with moving water. I’ve just always liked it, from the very beginning of my photography career – it was the reason I bought my first polariser filter and I still remember the first waterfall I used it on. In…

Just awesome, the style is right up my alley and I only wish I could take pictures even a fraction this good! I know that the gear doesn’t make the photographer, but I suddenly…

Or, Sigma 150mm 1:2.8 APO Macro DG HSM EX, to be exact. It’s fair to say that I have really put the Sigma 150mm macro lens through its paces this summer. It has been my main tool since the flower season started and it has constantly produced outstanding results (well, technically speaking anyway – the…

I couldn’t wait anymore and ordered my Canon 40D, which arrived even earlier than I expected! I haven’t gone all trigger happy and tested it just for the sake of testing, rather I’m just taking the pictures I would anyway. I will leave the reviewing and pixel peeping to others (and there are plenty of…

This is a story of ”I wouldn’t normally do that kind of thing”: Since my holiday, I haven’t been the least bit interested in taking any new pictures. In fact, I had almost settled on skipping August entirely and just wait for September, which is one of my favourite months. But on the bus home,…
