In the book “Packing for Mars,” author Mary Roach describes a condition NASA refers to as “space euphoria.” The first two NASA astronauts to walk in space experienced not only an odd euporia but also a disinclination to get back inside the capsule. As we flew inside a plane sparsely peppered with passengers from Anchorage to Kotzebue, we stared out of the window and watched in awe. The sun was rising amidst some of...

Recently, we got to sit down with Patrick Moreau from StillMotion and Michael Gebben from Gebbs Wedding Films. We first met Patrick at Re:Frame Austin back in April 2009 where he played a huge part in our decision to buy a 5d. We’re eternally grateful! Patrick has always been at the top of his game. It’s quite evident by watching the films he produce that he has a complete understanding and appreciation for his craft. Every time...

We knew something was coming soon and I must say I’m pretty excited to see the articulating screen from the Canon 60D! The 60D will be replacing the 50D and will have an 18MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and will be able to shoot HD Video at 1920 x 1080 at frame rates of 30, 24, and 25 frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. You can also shoot HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps). Its set to come out in September...

Recently we met up with Philip Bloom in Palm Springs, CA. It was hot and I mean the kind of hot that makes you want to stay inside all day. Luckily for us we were staying at a hotel that had three pools. Now Jon and I were ready to shoot in Palm Springs… We brought our 5d, 7d, and a variety of lenses but we also had our brand new GoPro and Sony TX5 which shoot underwater video and photos. Along with Phil’s GoPros and two...

I was shooting some video with my Canon 7D when what to my wondering eyes should appear? No it wasn’t a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. On the upper right hand side of the screen I spotted a red dot. The dreaded hot pixel !! Not surprising, that this happens occasionally, considering that there are 18 million pixels in the 7D. I of course panicked, as I will be on the road for the next 20 days and, have some very important...

So as we’ve started travelling more we’ve tried to meetup with some of our twitter friends. It’s always been a great time.                                                                           The week of August 23rd we will be in Orlando for WEVA. It just so happens that we’ll have a few new toys to play with so we figured we’d make it fun and invite some friends ...
