Thanks to the guys over at OCAU for the link below. I have seen videos like this before, but not all wrapped up together like on the Canon site. Grab a coffee, it goes for a while, but you might feel slightly better next time you have to mortgage the house to buy that exotic lens you have been lusting after.
I suppose in the true sense of the word, this is about photography and how it can disperse information.
You will need Google earth to check this out, but it is quite interesting if you have an interest in geo-political goings on in North Korea. Once again it shows what can be done with a bit of time, perseverance and technology. I wonder if Kim Jong Il will be downloading it?

I got some great feedback via the poll the other day, but the most interesting email I received was from someone calling themselves ‘blogbuster”, who made the sugestion that I ask people to send questions in for me to answer in an interview. It is a very interesting idea, so I thought I would give it a go.
If you have a question you would like me to answer, send it to todd at toddnorburyphotography dot com and I will see how we go.
Thanks to blogbuster for the idea.

Thanks to Mick Orlosky, this little article will make you appreciate your work place. The lengths some managers go to to empower their staff. 🙁
You might think your job sucks, but at least your boss wasn’t insane enough to remove all the chairs and install security so an alarm goes off if you don’t walk fast enough.

As I mentioned last week, the 5DmkII firmware is being updated and is now available on the link below.
Changes listed on the Canon site….
1. Includes a function to enable the manual exposure setting when shooting movies.
2. *For details on how to use this function, please download the PDF files from the bottom of this page. Disables the function of the depth-of-field preview button when images are played back or when the menu screen is displayed on the LCD panel.
3. Fixes a phenomenon where the peripheral illumination of images cannot be properly corrected, even if the images were captured with the lens peripheral illumination correction function set to Enable.
4. *Digital Photo Professional software version 3.6.1 or later (for Windows and Macintosh) can be used to automatically correct the peripheral illumination of RAW and JPEG images that were captured in the Peripheral illumination correction setting with cameras that have Firmware Version 1.0.7 or earlier. Fixes the algorithms of the Auto Lighting Optimizer function when Custom Function C.Fn II-3 Highlight tone priority is enabled.
5. Fixes incorrect indications on the Arabic, Romanian, Spanish, and Ukrainian menu screens.
6. Changes the battery information displayed on the camera when using the optional Battery Grip BG-E6.
So, have you ever wondered what sort of depth of field you will get with that new, you beaut lens you have bought. Wonder no more. The link below will take to you to a site that will calculate it all for you.

Well, for the past month, this humble little blog has been going kind of crazy. Sure, I have put a lot more content up, but I didn’t expect visitor numbers to expand by a factor of 10. Over 4000 visitors last month, which makes me a happy blogger, but I also wonder what people are enjoying reading? If you could be so kind and fill out the poll below, it will help me to cater for the readers out there.
Thanks you and thanks for all the comments and other feedback.

How about some background into some of those terms we all use. I expect most photogs will know all about aperture, but for some of the people new to photography, it might help them to understand what all those f numbers mean.
Aperture
In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels.
