aka 'Canon Corner'

Shutter Blog Day One

Howdy, and welcome to an ad hoc discussion of my exploits with all things photographic.

Unfortunately, I had planned to attend an Apple Aperture 2 event in the city this afternoon but a violent wind & dust storm in Melbourne today bought a tree down across my drive way and I couldn't get out until the debris was cleared late evening.

Some of my 'better' work can be found updated regularly here: My Photo Gallery

Anyway, my primary hardware is:
- Canon EOS 5D w/Battery grip
- Canon EF 24-105mm IS USM f4.0 'L'
- Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM
- Canon Speedlite 580 EX II
- Canon TC-80N3 Timer Remote
- Assorted extras: Manfrotto Monopod & Tripod, Canon & Hoya filters, 2 x 4GB Sandisk Extreme III CF
- LowePro Mini Trekker Backpack


As for systems & software, I have an Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz w/4GB memory) and use the Canon EOS Utilities, Apple Aperture 2 and the Apple iLife suite.
