His The Artic Light is my favourite with the specially composed music. I have a link to it on my blog, I was so impressed with it.

Size of the image you capture will NEVER be irrelevant. Comparing APS sensors to full frame Canon is like comparing onions and oranges - there isn't one. The Canon 1Ds range are wonderful imaging machines. That said, the K5 seems to be an excellent camera with very good low light capability...

Just some random nutter - despatch it to the waste paper bin and don't give it any more thought.

I have used 8GB CF cards in a 1DsMkII & 1DMkIIN

Fruit left in (or out) of the fridge too long. The compost heap. Flowers that are overblown and ready to drop the petals. Old rail bridges if you can find any, ditto rolling stock. You'll want nice rusty stuff.

Took me right into med format via FF Canon. Very addictive stuff

I do wish I could get more for prints, but at present I do not have the facilities to handle the printing, framing etc myself. And as I live about 110kms from Brisbane, where the pro labs are, it's just not practical for me. And postage to north america would no doubt be prohibitive. So I...

and sold a framed print. My image Blue Dawn won the Reader's Image of the Month in the May edition of Better Digital Camera (Australian & just out, it’s a quarterly). I've won a very nice prize of 10x10 inch EX book from Asukabook (valued at over $300.00). And I have sold a 16.00" x...

The 645D is a very fine camera and system. An Aussie tog did a review of it on a forum I am on (I hope non members can see this link) and quite a few users on GetDPI forum have commented in the Medium format section. And it is, by comparison, very affordable

Sensor size Resolution Ease of use and sensor cleaning Dynamic Range The price is so high because these large sensors are difficult to produce, with a high % discarded due to failures in testing. But it really does outshine 35mm - which I have shot for over 40 years, including 7 years of...

Phase One backs can be mounted on Mamiya 645 AFD (including the Phase One 645DF camera), Contax 645 and Hasselblad V interfaces (with appropriate interface panel); the Hasselblad CFV backs fit V system blads; The Leaf II backs are compatible with many brands (list here); Sinar fit a range of...

There is an organisation called Photographer's Rights which has a list of ethical and unethical competitions. There is a link to the list of comps to avoid, in alphabetical order (the site's list is unordered and therefore it's hard to find anything) on my Blog - at the top of the intro page.

16-35L f 2.8 MkII, I had this for my Canon 1DsMkII and I believe it is beyond compare. I had the 10-22 for my 30D but the 16-35 leaves it W A Y behind

I shoot with a Hasselblad H2 (4x4 format)+ PhaseOneP20 digiback and 3 HC lenses. I originally planned to buy a back for my V system Blad 553elx and go digital MF that way, but when I had a small windfall money wise and went looking, I found an H2/P20/HC 80mm camera system for less than the...
