What do you do if you have existing Canon lenses that fit your DSLR camera but not your iPhone? Well, you'll need something that would make it compatible so that you can ditchshelf rest your camera body and just stick with the iPhone (eherm...). Enter the iPhone SLR mount (yes, finally a mount), it's compatible with Nikon and Canon lenses so you can shoot professional images with your iPhone!
Photojojo came up with a case & lens adapter for the iPhone 4|4s for better DOP (depth of field), zoom and manual focus. The going price is $249 (and shipping to Canada starts at $25 + taxes).

Here's a YouTube unboxing of the product by lokayt:
Now all I have to do now is buy an iPhone, anyone out there willing to sponsor donate, would love to create blogposts on "the adventures of iphoneography"... anyone... hello...
Just in case you missed the Sanyo Eneloop battery kit sale at Dell.ca (they're back to $69.99 - you get a charger, 8 AA's and 4 AAA's), Canada Computers is offering their own version - you can 4 AA's for $10.99.
I use a lot of these for my photo & video equipment, and getting the disposable ones really aren't helping the environment either. The deal is good until this Sunday (Dec.11).
If your definition of social media is "Facebook is the devil" then maybe a few more facts can enlighten your mind and get a bit more relevant information on how it has influenced on how we learn, react and interact. Take time to view this video:
SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION
Here are the top 5 that I found really interesting in the video:
One Last thing, over 37 million people watched the Volkswagen Darth Vader Super Bowl Ad on YouTube...
... and yet the child actor has never seen STAR WARS?!?
Does that mean that this generation won't even recognize what a Pager is or a rotary phone? Will our children believe us if we say that we didn't have cell phones or computers back in the day? Or that we listened to music on 8-tracks cassette tapes, played it on a boom box (ghettoblaster), and even watched the Arsenio Hall Show late at night?
What is the world coming to? Well, at least there's Google & YouTube to search these topics on... right?
Eneloop rechargeable batteries ON SALE (in Canada)!
As a photographer, I swear by these rechargeable batteries – Sanyo Eneloop. These babies are already pre-charged (not full though) once you take them out of the package. They work well with my flashes, mics, LED lights and such.
For personal or business use, I suggest you grab the Battery Kit they have on saleat Dell.ca that’s going for under $30 (normally $70), it does pay off in the long run (at least for me) if you rely a lot on using batteries. Better hurry as the sale ends December 9|2011.
Ran into an article on how to optimize YouTube videos, needed this info to make sure that I’m ticking off the checklist as far as (1) tagging, (2) using effective title keywords and (3) integrate the website URL within the video description. It’s not rocket science, just the discipline to do it every time (remember: practice makes perfect).

If you want to get found on searches then this is the proper way of doing it for your videos.
I was watching The Score (the sporting channel) and noticed that they were using a Redrock Micro rig with a DSLR camera, couldn't really make out what camera they were using (might be a Canon 5D). It just goes to show you that even they're jumping the wagon using this setup:
You'll notice the rig on 0:12 and 0:46 of the clip.
Times are changing and we got the gear to prove it.
You know you’ve made it when people start using your brand as part of your daily sentences, I remember that when I needed a recipe I had to “google” it on, well, Google. With a click of the mouse google-magic happens and I have Roast Beef and stuff for dinner – HAPPY DAYS! Do you know how it all happened, how Google first evolved?
An article from Search Engine Land features a video on how it started off as a research project in 1996, the introduction of AdWords, image searches, Google News, universal searches, Google Instant, and the latest – Google Images (search by image). One of the ways of searching is by drag-and-drop on to the search bar and it will show results o what image you are looking for (I tried it with a few of my own photos but some were not recognized).
BTW: YouTube (2nd largest search engine) gave me a more visual presentation than words for my RECIPE – Jamie Oliver style. Sooner or later “YouTube” will be a verb and every business will eventually need a web video to visually showcase their product or service (just saying).
Here’s a video by Jamie Oliver on Knife Skills (and how not to lose your fingers):
GREETINGS and welcome to my blog! I'd say that for someone who's supposedly a student of social media I'm very meticulous about what I write mainly because I don't find what I do that interesting so coming out withkontentcontent that is worth reading will be scarce (but hopefully in time it will change).
I bought my first digital SLR camera back in 2005 over at Henry’s Outlet Store (before they closed the downtown location), it was a used Canon Digital Rebel (EOS 300D) with battery grip – although it was the lower end model for the Canon family it was the only one I can afford and needless to say I was ecstatic. Back then photography was on a major upswing since digital cameras came out and even at a low 6.3 megapixels it was good enough for me to shoot and practice the eye.
One of my favourite spots to shoot, and this should be to any hobbyists’ list of places, is the Distillery District. I was taking a Photoshop class at Pikto back then and had time to shoot after the class; the lighting in this whole place is great for discovering how to play with available light. Here’s what I got:
If you got great shots of the Distillery then link me a sample, I’d like to see what you’ve come up with. Also, what was your first digital SLR?
