Insomniac with a View
A quick timelapse shot from my apartment in Auckland with my Canon 7D and 10-22mm. Starting shooting around 11:45pm until about 1:15am or so.
A Little Canadiana - Ice Fishing on Lake Simcoe
A short while ago my wife and I headed up an hour or so north of Toronto to Innisfil Ontario, to Lake Simcoe. This is a popular spot in the winter for ice fishing. I don't fish, let alone ice fish but it was interesting to see and made for some interesting photos. We arrived a bit late in the day but the light was fantastic.

Night at The Ex
Some random footage from the 2010 Canadian National Exhibition, a.k.a The Ex.
This is only the third or fourth time I've used the video recording function of the 7D, the second time using it at night. I must admit that it seems the 7D's video quality takes a hard hit at higher ISOs but this is still an area I need to play with and explore more.
In any case I hope to post another edit from a few months ago of footage I shot with my 7D, at night and of fast movement. Can't post yet as this footage was for a show open that has yet to air. I will say that footage was a lot more impressive then what I got from shooting at The Ex, so it more likely means that problems was with me and not the camera this time around!
A day at the museum...
Some photos from a visit to the ROM in Toronto, Canada. 7D + 10mm - 22mm = fun times.
Photos of an old bus...
What do you do when you come across and old dilapidated bus? Why take photos of course. Here's a small sample of photos taken with the Canon 7D, most with the Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM and a couple with the Canon 10-22.
Canon 7D Video Test #2 - Subway
I've revised my initial edit, done a bit more post work in regards to colour correction and added some music.
Canon 7D Video Test #1 - Subway
I recently made the jump and purchased a Canon 7D, upgrading from my first DSLR, a Sony Alpha a100. It's a very impressive camera, amazingly fast, very quiet and impressively built.
At the moment I've only got one lens, a Canon 50mm 1.4. Seeing how I use my Minlota 50mm 1.7 on my a100 about 90% of the time I figured this would be a good choice. At least until I can get a Canon 16mm - 35mm 2.8.
This is a little edit I put together of some test footage I took one day while heading home from work. Just random footage, all hand held to just learn how the camera deals with video. It's actually been pretty busy at work so I haven't had much chance to use the 7D. I'd like to record some full HD video at 24fps.
For this clip, as I mentioned the footage was recorded at 1280x720 at 60fps. I then did a rough edit in After Effects where I also did a general levels adjust and quickly stabilized a couple of shots. I then worked my way down to a 30fps QuickTime with Photo-JPEG compression at 50% at 960x540 which is the clip I've uploaded to Flickr.
