A rather exciting divergence in Canon's camera line, the Pellix is unique among SLRs of the day as the first to use a pellicle mirror. A mirror is fixed in place, allowing some light to be reflected in the viewfinder and the rest to hit the film. As such, metering can be tricky with an external meter. A unique piece of photographic history for sure.

Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

On April 23rd, the day I shot the iceberg at The Arches provincial park on the province's Great Northern Peninsula, I used a couple of lenses ... interchanging between the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm and the Sigma Sport 150-600mm a number of times. I was on my way farther north to shoot the Aurora that night but just before I left the iceberg shoot I was going to use the Sigma one more time to get a few extra close-up shots. When I tried to remove the 24-70mm, though, I couldn't take it off!!! As it so happened, that was the lens I was going to use for the Aurora, so I continued on and managed to get a few shots before the fog moved in.
But I used my iPad and did a little research on the Internet before leaving the park and discovered ... to my chagrin ... that I definitely wasn't the first one to have a lens stuck on a Nikon camera body! Not by a long shot! I did more extensive research after I arrived back home and wasn't happy with what I found. It has happened to lots of folks ... on a variety of Nikon bodies and lenses. Does Nikon take ownership of this problem and fix it for free? What do you think? Folks have been charged anywhere from $600-$1400 to get this problem fixed. Most have been told it happened because of "impact damage"! Some have even been told they had installed the lens improperly!
I haven't been told anything yet, because I haven't decided if I'm going to send it in to Nikon Canada or not. I did contact them and mentioned I had read that people had been told their camera had been subjected to "impact damage" and that that hadn't been the case with most of them and certainly not with me! I was told that Nikon's term "impact damage" is just a way of stating it has damages not due to a manufacture defect! Amazing!!! I was also told Nikon's costs are under a flat rate system ... where the parts and labour are combined in one cost and full details regarding the repair will be provided once the repair has been approved and returned. Also, that the flat rate for the D810 model is $ $610.00! But it is just an average as the technicians will need to assess the camera and the cost maybe lower or it may be higher.
Plus, the shipping cost back to Nikon in Toronto ... fully insured ... is close to $300! Can't send it by Canada Post anyway because the maximum they insure anything for is far less than the full value of camera and lens. So it has to be by FedEx, Purolator, etc.
Some folks have discovered a screw has come loose in the mount ... either on the camera or lens. My suggestion to you ... keep checking them! Use a little jeweller's screwdriver. I don't think that's my problem, though. Others have found that the pin on the mount doesn't retract when the release button is pushed ... that it separates from the release mechanism and stays up. Sometimes if you jiggle the lens long enough apparently it will drop back and allow the lens to be released. Cost of shipping would be less then, at least. But it would still have to be repaired.
I've jiggled it until my right wrist is almost twice the size of the left one. :-) But I'm pretty sure that a separated pin isn't my problem either. How do I know that? Ok. Check out the other photo I just uploaded. What you will see is a feeler guage ... bought at NAPA. I had one already, but it was the wire type ... not the leaf type. The 4/1000 inch (0.102mm) will fit between the lens and mount ... you have to lift up the little rubber seal on the bottom of the lens ... and it's a little tight, but It will fit in there. Actually, 6/1000 inch will fit in there. So, I can feel the pin with it when it's in there ... both sides and even from the front (not much space to manoeuvre from the front though because the pin is close to the outside rim.) I can tell by moving the feeler guage and watching the release button that the pin and mechanism seem to be still attached. Thought I might be able to get it to retract if I bump it with the feeler guage. No luck, though. And I've bumped it from both sides and the front!
Anyway, any ideas?
Oh, the 'two dogs in heat' thing reminded me of a Paul Thorn song ... same title: "Two Dogs In Heat." But he does another one called "It's A Great Day To Whup Somebody's *ss." Definitely more appropriate in this situation, as far as I'm concerned! Paul Thorn? Used to be a boxer. Fought Roberto Durand. Once. :-)
So, that's why I'm back using my D300. Glad I kept it ... but 12 MP as opposed to 36? Well, I have to do something.

Interesting view of all the cables holding and pulling the A-4.
A 'holdback' restrains the A-4 and will be cut at launch. The pulling cable ('bridle') is tied to the catapult behind the nose wheel.

I was having some problems with the auto focus on my camera. Luckily it was still under warranty. It turned out to be just a kitchen knife on my sensor.
A couple more shots from the night of knife throwing in my kitchen.
Strobist: straight from the camera. the knife is really flying. 1 shoot through cam left, 1 bounced cam right, 1 gelled to BG(poor coverage), and 1 cam mounted for the front of the knife. Timed the toss with the timer.

I am not much for floating my opinions, political affiliation, beliefs and personal ideas out onto the inter webs because of the annoying debates and judgements that usually ensue. Mostly because I am a private person by nature. I just like posting images that leave the viewer interpreting my images with their own thoughts. However, the idea to put myself out there as recently deciding to eat a 100% plant based diet seems OK, right? Who can argue that deciding not to eat, use or test on animals is a terrible idea? Funny thing is meat eaters still do argue. They argue with brainwashed “facts” or out of stuck in their way arrogance. They ignore the fact that companies still test products on animals. They consume dairy in unhealthy amounts and disregard what it took to get a nutritionally void product to them. They offer ridiculous comfort that animals are “humanely” killed. Or my favorite: plants are living and have feelings too! Bottom line for me - Animals are living, breathing being with thoughts and feelings. Animals are not here for us. They are here to co-exist and to be apart of the circle of life. Human created factory farming and slaughter houses in this modern age is not the circle of life.
Before I made the final decision to stop using animals for my benefit, I was a skeptic too. Would I be able to obtain the proper nutrients? How can I avoid all animal products? But then I questioned if I would be able to kill my own pets for one meal. Just one meal. And to kill at all.
I haven’t eaten meat since this past fall and I am trying to avoid all animal byproducts as well. I’m not perfect. Unless you read an ingredient list, make meals at home or do your research, even the most conscientious vegan may inadvertently be consuming or using a product created from cruelty.
But I am making the effort. I’m choosing this lifestyle for my health, my conscience, my love for animals and the hope that more people wake up.
