Mike Matas:

You might have a hard time getting this site to come up due to it getting hammered with traffic today. And with good reason—the JavaScript-based photo navigation is fantastic. If you've got a Magic Mouse or newer MacBook trackpad, try scrolling left and right. Love the lens info with each shot, too.

Elago M2 iPhone Stand

Elago M2 iPhone Stand:

The two prongs protruding underneath are a bit bulky IMO, but if you're wanting a stand that matches your iMac or Apple display, this is it. Also available in black.

Monitoring 7D Video with a Laptop

If you can't afford an external monitor when shooting video with your Canon 7D (and you'll won't be moving a lot while shooting), give this trick a try. Use the software that came with camera to monitor live video and control the camera's settings remotely.

I'd like to shoot video like this when I grow up. Filmed with a Canon 5D MKll. All of the sliding "dolly" shots were actually done with a tripod-mounted Kessler Pocket Dolly. Alternatively, you can make your own dolly using an IKEA shelving unit.

EOS DLSR Video Review

EOS DLSR Video Review:

New to DSLR video? This is a good primer for Canon EOS models (currently 500D, 550D, 7D, 5D Mark II and 1D Mark IV).

Also note that the site to which this was posted, VideoDSLR.tv, was just launched over the weekend. Looking forward to seeing what other content it leads to.

The Ship and the Sea

The Ship and the Sea:

This site's design has plenty of character. Love it.

Oh Joy!'s 2010 Suggested Golf Attire

Oh Joy!'s 2010 Suggested Golf Attire:

Planning on getting in some tee time soon? Don't leave home without proper attire, gents. (Speaking of tees, these wedding invitations for a ceremony at the Saratoga National Golf Club are fantastic.)
