Wide Angle Len for Canon 7D

Which one do I get?

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ?

I’m actually leaning on Tokina because of f/2.8 and heard a lot of good thing about it too. But Canon cover more, wider and and longer.  Then continue with Canon 24-105 f/1.4

Interesting feet machine

I was at Walmart and saw this latest gimmick machine to measure your feet pressure point and what shoes pad to get. Interesting machine and to see the pressure point. It took about 1 minute or so to get to final result. Suggested size for me 130. But each pack cost $49. I can get a new sport shoe on that price. Hem …. Does it really work?

EOS 7D Firmware Update Version 1.2.1

img_2445 It has been 2 days since the Canon EOS 7D Firmware 1.2.1 released and it’s about time to upgrade mine. No news about issue on this new firmware. The fixes that I”m most interested is item 2 and 4 as following:

  1. Extends the timing at which the high temperature warning indicator is displayed and the timing of automatic shut down of the camera due to a rise in internal temperature during Live View or EOS Movie functions.
  2. Optimizes program shift when the ISO setting of the camera is set to AUTO.
  3. Corrects a misspelling in the French-language menu.
  4. Corrects a phenomenon in which vertical magenta-colored banding appears in still images taken in movie-shooting mode.
    (This only occurs when in Manual exposure mode and when the ISO speed is set to “H”. Note that this phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.0)

Has you upgrade your? It’s good time to do so now especially weekend is coming.

Adobe CS 5 already?

I just got an email about Adobe CS 5 launch event on Monday, April 12, 2010. When I think about it, I’m still using CS 2, suddenly feel like I’m so outdated. Actually, I haven’t really follow up what new and improve features since CS 2 because I think CS2 is good enough for me now. May be in distant future I will upgrade to like CS 10 :p

Picasa 3.5 is tool that I used the most of the time – on day to day photos and possible light adjustments. It’s easy to share photos with other on web picasa. I’m just started using Lightroom 2 on specific projects only. However any major editing, I use Photoshop still including sharping the photos.

After school

Everyday I have to go pick up Jonathan from school. The best part of it, most of the time, we stop by the park before heading home.

(I am actually testing live blogging from iPhone)
