You won’t learn much about the shoot from watching it, but you will be inspired by the quality of video that can be achieved with a Canon 7D.

I’d always imagined my camera internals to be a little more solid!

Can’t wait to see Joe McNally’s take on this.

The stats in this slick video are stunning. It took TV 13 years to reach 50 million users, it took the iPod 3 years, and it took Facebook just 9 months… to reach 100 million!

This is great for photographers.

There was a time when our images were only seen by the people we knew and saw on a regular basis or, if we were lucky, they’d be printed in a magazine. But now, we can get our work out there to millions of pairs of eyes. People we will never meet can now see and give us feedback on our images, they can follow us or become our friend and before you know it you have an army of fans hanging on your every word. Just look at Chase Jarvis, Joe McNally and Zack Arias to see just what can be achieved

Whilst standing on the public platform in New York’s Penn Station, taking pictures of trains to enter Amtrak’s “Picture Our Trains” photography competition, photographer Duane Kerzic was arrested by Amtrak’s own security guards and charged with trespassing and refusing to delete his images.

Trespassing? In a public place? Really? And why should Duane delete his photographs?  If photography is illegal, why ask him to delete evidence? If it isn’t, what right do they have to insist he formats his card?

US TV show “The Colbert Report” duly takes the mickey

It might not be strictly photographic (although some of the locations are amazing) it certainly is a heart warming, feelgood masterpiece.
