Cleaning house

Eric Holsinger — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:13:58 +0000

I’m cleaning house - on the site, anyway. I’m going through my posts and pages cleaning up the topics. I may move some topics to my other website, EricHolsinger.net, which is now my general blogging site. I’m doing all of this in preparation of converting this site to photography related topics, exclusively.

NEW Canon EOS 5D Mark II: full frame 5D successor; w00t!

Eric Holsinger — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:13:01 +0000

Canon EOS 5D Mark II is the official name of the Canon 5D successor model, announced today. Here it is. Isn’t it beautiful? OK, beauty is only skin deep. What’s inside? Well apparently it can shoot full frame HD video. This is a D-SLR, right? Hmm. Didn’t really expect or care about that, but interesting, none-the-less. It’s got [...]

Currently Reading: Face to Face by Rick Sammon

Eric Holsinger — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 20:41:24 +0000

I’ve been reading Face to Face: Rick Sammon’s Complete Guide to Photographing People. I picked up this beautiful book before my Strobist trip to NYC and read it voraciously during my down time on that trip. I just picked it up and started reading it again. I just had to write about what a great [...]

Photoshelter Collection closing shop; total suckage.

Eric Holsinger — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:17:04 +0000

The Photoshelter Collection came off the starting blocks with an energy and attitude that really felt like they were going to make a change in the stock photo industry. Well, today we learned that they weren’t going to be able to change anything, after all. Our unique approach, however, was insufficient to change buyer behavior on [...]

Canon: Destined Evolution?

Eric Holsinger — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:15:14 +0000

What could this new teaser on the Canon USA website be hinting at? Could it be the long awaited Canon 5D successor ready to eclipse the competition? Or is it a bit of metaphorical light dawning on Canon that the latest Nikon offerings are kick-*ss and their next camera needs to really bring it?

Early morning Photoshop Lightroom and Strobist practice

Eric Holsinger — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:46:23 +0000

My son came into my office this morning and offered to let me take some photos of him. “For your practice”, he said. How can you resist an offer like that? I took a few shots with my 580EX on 1/16 through an umbrella, right on top of him. The camera was on 200 ISO and f5.6 [...]

Photos from NYC trip

Eric Holsinger — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:05:04 +0000

I just got back from a weekend in New York city. I stayed at the East Houston hotel in the Lower East Side. It’s a great, lively location. Lots of opportunities for street photography. I was there to attend the Strobist lighting seminar, by David Hobby from Strobist.com. I also went to the Photoshelter Shoot! The [...]

Getty Images gets all up in Flickr. Cool, WTF, Meh?

Eric Holsinger — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:09:00 +0000

So, the big buzz today is Getty Images pushing up on* Flickr. Haven’t heard it? Well, Team Flickr over at Flickr.com and Getty Images agreed to create a “Flickr Collection on Getty“. But what does it mean? Should you care? Is it a trap? Are you gonna be stripped of your rights and your images [...]
