Today I’m going back to basics. Yes, simple you may say, but it all comes back to getting it right from the start. So many people ask about the camera, but really, we all know its not all about the gear.

All photos virtually taken during any sport event is considered as sports photography. All can also be called sports photographer as long as one has a camera and the will to take the shot.

Canon Launches Hybrid IS (Image Stabilizer)

Canon, one of the leading camera manufacturers today, has announced that they’ve been developing a new optical image stabilizer which will compensate for two kinds of camera shake—the first in the world.

Angle camera shake can cause drastic changes when shooting in standard, while shift camera shake is more visible in macro photography and other close-range shooting.

Photography and video convergence, just ask Esquire.com

If you ever thought that its time for photography and video convergence, will its here and its coming thick and fast. You would all know that the Canon and Nikon ranges have added to their lines of cameras the ability to shoot HD video. Some might say its not that great, but other have really taken to it.

However, Esquire magazine just released its June edition, and it will feature the very sexy Megan Fox on its cover. Guess what? It was captured with a video camera. Holy crap. What could get better than seeing her in motion. hmmmm!
