Sony A7/A7R Metabones Adapter Review for Canon and Nikon to E-Mount
Cool. Metabones adapters for Nikon and Canon lenses for Sony A7.
Mirrorless.
It's been a few years now that Mirrorless has been out on the market. I do like the idea of portability with the EQUIVALENT in quality of DSLR's . This video shows that it's almost there but it also shows that don't give up your dslr's just yet.
Main issues : 1. Battery 2. ISO 3.
haha haha... great!

Canon 5D mark3 vs Nikon D800
Looks like you can't lose either way.:)
Canon 24-70mm L II USM on 5D Mark II Sample Shots
Lost in the Languedoc-Roussillon Region:) This Lens is sharper than Nikons 24-70 if you're counting pixels and its auto focus is instantaneous even in dark situations. Captured over 100 gigabytes of RAW Reference for Matte Work.
1Canon 24-70mm L II USM Lens
Now my primary lens. Rivals sharpness of primes and sharp from edge to edge. F-2.8 throughout!!! This lens is a workhorse and a beast:) Better contrast and sharpness than the 16-35mm L II & lighter than Mark I previous version.
Panoramic Head. Full 360 x 180!
Panohead. Works brilliantly and all hand machined.
Bell & Howell anamorphic test
Experiments gone good!
Hypergonar Haawwtness!
Probably one of the coolest test results I've seen in the last couple of years.

Concept for Matte Painting
Initial Concept....(personal work in progress) with early staging and placement of objects. Not quite there yet. :( But I wanted to draft this down before I lose my train of thought on other tasks.
High Dynamic Range....finally!!!!
Did some Photography tests earlier this week. Very Excited!!! Took a couple of tries.
Can't wait to light something with it.
Hugin- Architectural Perspective Correction Software
Yeah... It's free so stop complaining.
If you can't afford $2500 CAD for a new perspective lens(sometimes called tilt/shift) this software does a pretty good job. A bit more complicated than the PS "transform image" tool, it now adds a level of correction for pincushion and barrel distortion.
Anamorphic Lens Test on DSLR
This stuff just blows my mind!!!

DSLR Test
First few tests with my new camera Gear! No photo corrections just yet... Just the RAW files.
Vehicle Design/Concept Collaboration.
Here's a vehicle design I took part in with Blackbird Interactive. I was responsible for the digital 3D "sketching" with some overpainting in Photoshop! We pushed through numerous 3D iterations while I learnt to Bolean Sculpt in a 3D software package.
..Some Space Marine Stuff THQ copyright.
Will Add more as I find the time.
..some new games...
.... For the lost week-end!
Great job to the Naughty Dog Crew. I decided to grab the remastered Ico & Shadow of the Colossus collection too for good measure.
New Work Coming SOON!
Stay TUNED!!!!!
