There's not much to prepare you for such a spectacular demonstration of skill, finesse, strength and agility, aside that you've never been this close to the action.  Get ready to laugh and to be amazed!

DJI Inspire 1...

DJI’s most advanced technology comes together in an easy to use, all-in-one flying platform!

While the weather slowly settles in, and we finalize our training on DJI's new Inspire 1 unit, we'd thought we'd share a video shot in 4k, by the folks at Helipal, demonstrating the same awesome quality we'll soon be able to provide you.

Make sure you enable the 4K video setting, and prepare to be amazed!

Caribou Cup 2015...

Saturday April 11th 2015 - Mont Tremblant

That time of year, when all self esteem and humility is set aside!

131 participants, dressed up in the most ridiculous outfits they could come up with, booting down the ski hill, doing their best to skim across a 100' pond of freezing cold water, then proceed their way to various bars to take in a few shooters, and finish their course at the Petit Caribou, where the chrono stops once they finish chugging a pint of beer!

The Harlem Globetrotters...

Friday April 10th 2015 - Bell Centre

As part of their "Washington Generales Revenge" World Tour, the Harlem Globetrotters graced the new basketball court of the Bell Centre.  As usual, their silly pranks and tremendous skill amused the inner child in all of us.

It was such an entertaining act, that at moments, I caught myself watching the action and forgetting to take pics.  If you missed it, there's always Quebec City tonight!!

A few select images from this entertaining evening, can be seen HERE

Photos for fun...

Thursday April 2nd 2015

Yesterday evening, a friend and I decided to go for a walk in the wooded area, near his place in Ste-Rose, in search of spotting the large male Pileated Woodpecker he saw the week before. Cameras and telephoto lenses in hand, we left on our quest. We saw tons of fresh evidence that our animal was recently close by, but several kms in, we had to admit, that on this evening, he was nowhere to be found.

Nonetheless, it felt good to go out in the fresh air, and do photography as a passion, and not just because it was a mandate or project.  

My message to our feathered friend... I'll be back!

You can enjoy a few pics from this nature walk > HERE

Canon delivers the new 11-24mm f/4L USM

March 31st 2015

Long-awaited by photo enthusiasts and pro photographers alike, Canons new ultra-wide angle, 11-24mm f/4L USM lens delivers what it promised, and more. It's Canon's widest ever rectilinear zoom lens, by a fair margin!

Unfortunately, it comes at a cost, and a hefty one at that. This baby isn't cheap. At close to $3,200.00 Cdn, it's also by far the most expensive lens in it's focal range.  But, like most will say... "you get what you pay for!"

In this case, it holds true.  Landscape, property & architectural photographers will cherish this "must-have" lens in their chest vest or carry bag. 

The Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM ultra wide-angle zoom lens is designed to deliver high quality, minimally distorted images throughout the entire zoom range. Featuring the widest angle of view (126º05’ diagonal) ever achieved for a rectilinear full-frame Digital SLR lens, and a minimum focusing distance of 11 inches (at 24mm), this new lens is ideal for professionals who want the ultimate in creative image expression with sharp, crisp detail whether shooting entire buildings from a close position, entire stadium shots from a high-vantage point, large group photos at a scenic wedding or even astrophotography. Cinematographers will be equally as impressed with the lens’ ability to retain straight lines.
