THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Photo story: (IT´S NOT UNDEREXPOSED!)

The story behind this series of pictures is something unique I lived yesterday. It was sunday and I prepared my rucksack and made my plans to spend many hours at the stream, planting lots of oak seeds and take photos. But the day went in another direction, so I spent some time at work, later cleaning up, cooking, taking care of my grandmother... I took launch tooo late and I was tired so went to cancel my plans to go to the stream, but something called me to go even though I was going to have very short time of sunlight. Couldn´t imagine something MAGICAL was waiting for me: the kingfishers appeared briefly giving me no chance to catch them. One appeared and gave me the chance of two shots. I wasn´t prepared to see it right in front of me. Then it went away. It was when sun was gone and light started to really fade away when a Magic blue angel came again to perch at the same tree branches over the water of the stream. Flew few times from one branch to another very slowly, like a hummingbird. It was so quiet that I was able to take my shutter speed as low as 1/20s to reduce noise. My Quiet Continuos 3fps was switched then to reduce noise. I tried many shutting modes, speeds, etc, with the fear it could notice of me and go away... BUT IT WAS THERE... EVERYTHING POINTED IT WAS GOING TO STAY THERE TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT. WOW! I understood soon it was going to be one of the most magical moments of my life. And it was so. I didn´t know what to do but didn´t want to disturb it anyway, so decided to stay there as much as possible. It was completely dark when I saw its blue back reflect from my phone light checking that it wasn´t disturbed by me to say goodbye. GOODNIGHT KING. THANKS!.

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 10 June 2008: Canon today announces its latest D-SLR, the EOS 1000D. Featuring a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 7-point wide area AF system and up to 3fps continuous JPEG shooting until the memory card is full, the EOS 1000D represents a more affordable entry point to the world of EOS cameras – whilst taking full advantage of over 70 years of imaging expertise.

With the lightest body of any digital EOS camera, the EOS 1000D incorporates a range of technologies used in Canon’s professional EOS-1 series cameras, including the DIGIC III image processor, and Live View mode. For straight-from-the-box shooting, the EOS 1000D is available with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens – which includes 4-stop image stabilisation, ensuring superb performance even in low-light conditions.

“The EOS 1000D is a small camera with a big idea: the supreme adaptability and image quality of the EOS system, in an accessible, affordable package,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “For anyone ready to take the next step in creative photography, it offers the perfect entry point to the world of D-SLR.”

Features at a glance:

* 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor

* EOS Integrated Cleaning System

* 7-point wide-area AF system with f/5.6 cross-type centre point

* Up to 3 frames per second

* 2.5” LCD with Live View shooting

* DIGIC III image processor

* Compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards

* Compact and lightweight body

* Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software

* Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites

Designed to deliver more

As with all EOS models, key components for the EOS 1000D are designed and manufactured in-house to work with each other for the ultimate image quality. A 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor – with larger pixels for smooth, low-noise images – offers sufficient resolution to produce prints in sizes up to A4, even when cropping your image. To protect images against the effects of sensor dust, the EOS 1000D includes the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, which combats dust in three separate ways: reducing, removing and repelling.

The EOS 1000D also features a DIGIC III image processor, as used in Canon’s professional D-SLR models. This allows continuous shooting until the SD or SDHC memory card is full, at speeds of up to 3fps – with the number of shots limited only by the size of the card. DIGIC III also delivers superior image rendering, rapid operation and virtually instant start-up times.

Intelligent focus and flash

For shots where fast focusing is needed, the EOS 1000D features a 7-point wide area Auto Focus system, capable of locking onto a subject in a fraction of a second. A cross-type central focus point continues to operate effectively even when used in lower-light and lower-contrast settings. Also included is E-TTL II, Canon’s distance-linked flash exposure system found in professional EOS models.

Effortless ease

Weighing just 450g, the EOS 1000D is Canon’s lightest D-SLR to date, with a compact, ergonomic body designed for comfortable handling. A bright 2.5” LCD screen lets users instantly review images for composition, sharpness and focus – or, thanks to a wide viewing angle, instantly share shots with friends. The LCD also provides access to a fast, easy-to-read menu system, which uses tabs to avoid unnecessary scrolling. Inherited from the latest EOS models, the menu system includes direct control over external devices such as Speedlite flash units.

Photo quality in every situation is aided by 12 custom functions, including Auto Lighting Optimizer - which corrects brightness and contrast during image processing, while improving skin tones in portraits by ensuring correct exposure for faces. Photographers can also enable additional noise reduction for shots captured at high ISO speeds.

Live view

For shooting situations where using the viewfinder is impractical – or where a tripod is used – users can switch to Live View mode, which displays the scene as a smooth, 30fps video feed on the LCD. An optional grid line and histogram display can be selected to help with shot composition and exposure. Two AF modes are available for use with Live View: Quick AF, which momentarily flips the camera’s mirror to engage the AF sensor, and Live AF, which uses contrast information for compact camera-style focusing.

Testing Lomokino S35mm Movie Camera, Lomography CN100. Hand cranked, ~3fps.

The Spit, Gold Coast.

Queensland, Australia.

Here the 5D Mark III performed wonderfully tracking Sam in a shady evening environment. The camera's superior high ISO capabilities allowed me to crank the ISO to 12800 and shoot at 1/2000, while the 6fps gave me a great range of poses from which to choose. There is some grain evident, but I find it pleasing (the downsized version over-accentuates the grain -- original is not as bad).

I could've run this shot several times on the 5DII and not come away with any keepers, between the worse AI Servo performance, AF performance, lower shutter speed (to compensate for poorer ISO quality), and 3fps.

Feel much more a modern camera compared to the 006.

The Continuous 3fps shutter is a bit weird. The first frame will have a lag before it decide that it will go 3fps... I think the AE lock should go for the Japanese route of 'press and lock', so one doesn't have to hold the button all the time.

The Hasselblad HCD 35-90 is pretty good. Pity that they don't have profile for it in the LR.

EF 85mm f/1.8 II USM

[ 0.006 sec (1/160) | f/1.8 | FLength 85 mm | ISO 400 ]

Manufactured in 2001 by SiPix Imaging, Inc. in China. SiPix was established in 1999 in Silicon Valley, California. At its introduction, the StyleCam was the smallest digital camera on the market. It measured only 3.4 x 2.3 x 1.0 inches (including the lens barrel) and weighed just 2.6 oz. It was powered by a single AAA battery and had 8MB of RAM built in for image storage. It features a 6.3mm f/3.0 lens (no flash) and a 640x480 “VGA” CMOS imager. It used a USB 1.1 interface to transfer the images to a Windows XP PC. A movie mode actually captures up to 180 still images at 3fps, and then combines these into an AVI video on a PC using a proprietary software package, SiPix AVI Maker. The camera used SDRAM memory, which means that battery is required to keep data in memory - if the battery runs down or is removed, images are lost. It can be used as a tethered USB webcam for video conferencing. As of this writing, SiPix no longer makes cameras, but display electronics instead.

Leica S Type 007

Hasseblad HCD 35-90 f/4-5.6

Feel much more a modern camera compared to the 006.

The Continuous 3fps shutter is a bit weird. The first frame will have a lag before it decide that it will go 3fps... I think the AE lock should go for the Japanese route of 'press and lock', so one doesn't have to hold the button all the time.

The Hasselblad HCD 35-90 is pretty good. Pity that they don't have profile for it in the LR.

Ah, my Contax i4r, a wonderful little camera that grows ever more woefully long in the tooth. I love the form factor but it's running an 8+ year old sensor and imaging engine, and the lens drive motor sounds like it's in the throes of agonizing death. Nevertheless, I've managed to grab a few good scenes with this puppy, as the compactness makes it easy to bring everywhere, and a revitalized massive battery off of ebay keeps it going and going.

Contemporary use is tricky, it's awful in low light, and not much better even with the flash, iso200 is already noisier than most modern camera phones, and time between shots is eternal. It does have some neat tricks though, like a wonderful macro mode, that DELICIOUS lens, and a cool near-unlimited 3fps 'action' shooting mode that's fun to play with.

I wish there was an updated model, with the same size, just newer shinier guts, or even something more modern and similar in size, but I haven't found it. It's only kind sizewise seem to be about just as old as it is. (Sony L1/UX, and other such old cameras)

Oh well, I suppose I'll just use it until it wont give me any more. Seen here with a AA batery and the sony nex kit zoom.

I've just made my own motorized macro rail using some parts from ebay (probably ~40$ altogether), and here is the first test. The idea was to have an electric gear motor to move photo camera with a macro lens (in this case - macro bellow with a reversely mounted 50mm f2.0 manual lens) super slowly - something like 10mm per minute. Then you let the camera shoot (using intervalometer from the Magic Lantern firmware) fast - three frames per second on my Canon 50D. I use an external flashlight which is capable of making 3 flashes per second at 1/32 of the full power. I use very fast CF card in my camera, to make sure I maintain 3fps for more than a hundred shots.

In this test shot, I had ~120 shots made over 40 seconds covering ~5mm in depth. I merged all the shots using free focus stacking software Enfuse.

The purpose of all this trouble is to create a much larger depth of field than in a single shot, so you can have your whole macro object in focus, not just a thin slice. With a motorized macro rail one can in principle get to almost any depth of field (up to a few cm). Of course that will take hundreds of shots.

This is my first film that I ever did.

It took 1,987 photos to make this video.

Shot with EOS 400D at 3fps. I merged all the image together in Sony Vegas for HD editing..

Probably this will be the last uploaded for a few months.. my wife is also very pregnant (33 weeks to be exact) of twins ( boy and girl). so a lot of my free time that I would put towards the flickr is being transfered to spending some much needed time my family.

Cheers!

So near yet so far from being The Dream DSLR! The number 1 DSLR to hold in your hands. Weighty, beautifully constructed (no plastic!!), legendary badge and fantastic IS 28-100mm 2.8-3.5 piece of glass. On the other hand its not the number 1 DSLR to use. Whilst the IS lens, contrast, colour, tonality, tac sharp images is all first class the 3fps is very entry consumer/level and the Digilux 3 falls short at 1600 ISO. Very useable up to 800 but 800 is often not enough. IF ONLY!!!!!!!!! I wait patiently for the Digilux 4...........

the boy was walking around without any clothes on, and it's interesting to note the scars on his little body.

with continuous shooting at ~3fps, i got this shot where his elbow just at the right place to cover "you-know-what".

his face was like in a daze.

my brother in law. i was having fun playing with the 3fps auto advance on my new camera

Some of my early experiments of stop-motion mixed with filming at 3fps.

I like to get that old film look with lot of grain, noise and high contrast and full colors. Something DSLR's do quite good at higher ISO values. The lenses and image control make possible what no camcorder can do.

Had to try the milk/water drop shot! Took a lot of photos and kept a few but this is one of my favorites from the bunch!

Paras in flight. :P

Captured with the Sony A300 in burst. Who says 3fps ain't enough? :D

My second installment in the Exposure Wars between me and GhoSStrider!

How it started: I don't remember how we got on topic, but he was complaining about not being able to hold still for a 1/4s exposure time. I was like "My camera shoots 3fps, and I sat still long enough to HDR myself! That was at LEAST a whole second! I would think you could stay still long enough for 1/4s! LOL" And thus began our war :-D He had an 8 second exposure in which he was tiny and microscopic. I picked on him for that ;-) Yesterday he had a 13 second exposure! Now we're getting somewhere! Of course, he laid his head on his desk... *giggles*

This is my second entry. 15 seconds, and no head support! Or there'd be like 2 dozen grease marks on the window from my forehead...

But, it was a long day... It was nice to sit for lots of seconds at a stretch ;-)

This was lit by an itty bitty lamp on the other side of the room... Vivitar 28mm f/2.5 @ f/6.7, ISO 100, 15sec

As for the music in my head...

Using a miniature DSLR-camera trap, ten days in the life of the Critically Endangered trapdoor spider Liphistius kanthan from a cave in Malaysia have been rendered into ~8 minutes of time lapse video by omitting most of the time when the spider was either hidden behind its trapdoor or just its feet were visible at the threshold. Over the 10 days the spider came completely out of its nest just 17 times with an average time out of about 3 secs......so in ten days it spent roughly 1 minute out! It seems to come out for two reasons (1) to catch a meal; and (2) to defecate after rotating its body anticlockwise at the entrance. Bursts of action by the spider are played at approximately their real time rate of 3fps. sequence, animal, wildlife, fauna, cave fauna, predator, predatory, hunting, arachnid, spider, trapdoor spider, liphistius kanthan, endemic, critically endangered, nest, cave, gua kanthan, perak, malaysia, asia, camera trap, time lapse, december 2013

Basic edits with C1 Express.

Really loved the rendering of the OOF areas.

The just announced Nikon D85O, more of the same including the faults. Snapbridge still does not work properly like my D500 and the EFC implementation is still like the crippled one in my D500, it's available in MUP mode with 2 pumps of the remote.

New on the D85O, EFC is apparently also usable in "Quiet" and "Quiet Continuous" modes IF "Exposure Delay Mode" (min 0.2s) is enabled, I really don't understand why you have to go through so many hoops to shoot with EFC. Bottomline, the new D85O's EFC implementation is still not usable for handheld shooting. Furthermore in QC mode, frame rate is down to 3fps.

Ideally, EFC should be usable in Live-view since the mirror is already out of the way but you cannot look through your OVF to make the shot because the D85O does not have a hybrid viewfinder! So you end up with a roundabout, complicated and compromised EFC implementation, again.

Looks to be an easy pass for me, nothing much better than the 2 years old Sony a7Rii! In fact, it seems that the 2 year old Sony a7Rii has better dynamic range than the new D85O!

For handheld shooting of high mpx cameras, absence of mirror vibrations, EFC and IBIS make a world of difference. I can see this clearly between my Nikon D800E and Sony a7Rii. No point having so many pixels if none are crisp, better off with just 24mpx instead!

As with all major new camera launches, there's a flood of articles, preliminary reviews etc. All to stir up interest and frenzy. Best let the dust settle and see if the new product really delivers and most importantly gives what you need vs what you already have.

Just like the Sony a9, it was indeed a revolutionary camera in some ways, lots of new innovation. I have no use for 20fps, zero blackouts etc. For what I shoot, I'm perfectly happy with the a7Rii which works really well with the FE100-400mm GM lens even with TC14 on, just have to reconfigure the camera for back button AF-On.

Of course, all the reviews out there for this new FE100-400mm f4.5-5.6 GM OSS is on the Sony a9, for obvious reasons.

It's hence important to understand about gear and not fall victim to hype and marketing.

Great time however to be buying a lightly used D810 for Nikon shooters who do not own a D8xx series body but needed the high resolution sensor for TRIPOD use.

I really hope Nikon has something innovative beyond this D85O.

I was going to try this again, and make it longer, but my shutter got stuck, for the first time ever... i don't have enough money to fix or get a new camera, so i opted to quit while i was ahead. this camera was already old... and i think i just put around 7000 cycles on it, in one day!

Hanging about with a 400mm lens I managed to catch the right-hand buzzard trying to frighten off the intruding buzzard on the left. Talons out and into a steep spiralling dive, it seemed to work. Fortunately my camera was set on rapid fire - 6.3fps View On White

Eindelijk is mijn camera binnen. Eerst wat problemen gehad met foto's maken want als de accu bijna leeg is gaat ie wel aan maar hij maakt geen foto's meet dus ik dacht dat hij stuk was.

Het is echt een geweldige camera, samen met de Nikkor 18-70mm weegt hij 1,8 kilo.

De autofocus motor voor mijn Nikkor 50mm 1.4 is enorm snel en 5 megapixel is nog steeds erg groot.

Op internet staat dat je een maximale buffer van 9 foto's hebt met 3fps maar daar kan je in het menu heel simpel 20 foto's van maken. wat ook een groot voordeel is vergeleken met de Nikon D90 is dat ik nu met een sluitertijd van 1/16000 kan schieten dus dat je wel erg je best moet doen om een overbelichte foto te krijgen.

Goeie aankoop dus!!

Vanavond vertrek ik voor een klein weekje naar Zwitserland waar ik de D1x even goed kan testen.

Nikon D1x!!!
