Which Lenses Did I Use Most In Winter 2010/11?

Dan Carr — Sat, 14 May 2011 18:20:22 +0000

Using Lightrooms filter system I can quickly reveal which lenses I used this winter the most. The new Canon 70-300 f4-5.6 L IS takes the win, hardly surprising as it is such an amazingly versatile lens. Second place goes to my 300mm f2.8 L IS. Did I really carry that beast around with me that […]

I’ve been doing this for some time but yesterday someone commented on it and I thought I ought to post about it. Sometimes I use a monopod when I’m shooting. Either with large lenses like my 300mm f.28 L IS or sometimes smaller lenses if I have slow shutter speed or I’m trying to frame […]

Thanks for the guesses on the setup for this shot. Some of you were pretty close. Zach G was actually the closest with his first guess. With the spread of light needed ,and the gel, a single speedlight could not do a good job of being the pink light with a Ranger at the back. […]

Anatomy of a jib shoot

Dan Carr — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 08:03:02 +0000
