Photokina 2012, September 18–23

Posted on July 17, 2012 by admin
Photokina 2012, September 18–23, in Cologne-Deutz, appears to be the event that major camera manufacturers will be introducing a number of full-frame bodies. According to the latest rumors, Nikon is expected to show the world its new 800mm f/5.6 super-telephoto lens at Photokina too.

Canon may try to grab the spotlight early with a rumored July 23rd announcement of its long-anticipated and first entry into the mirrorless camera market. Few details are available, but it may have an APS-C-sized sensor and an articulating touchscreen, and quite possibly a large body compared to other mirrorless models. July 23rd may also be when Canon announces an EF 200–400mm f/4L IS 1.4x lens.

Antelope Valley Poppy Season 2012

Posted on April 19, 2012 by admin

Thursday Apr 19, 2012, the Poppies are showing best today of all this season. It is warming up and not a lot of wind. I saw quite a few along Lancaster Road on the way to the Poppy Reserve, Munz Ranch has a selection of different types of wildflowers but many are the smaller variety so keep your eyes open. The Goldfields and Joshua’s look pretty good on 170th West ( go North a Little ) and Hwy 138. The snakes are out also.
