The DOF on that knife is sexy.

I don't want to blow anyones mind...but Canon is releasing the 1D X next year. It probably won't be long before Nikon releases their competition. I'm excited to see what it is.

http://gizmodo.com/5850747/canon-1d-...epic-dslr-ever

Highlights:

-A full-frame 18-megapixel sensor
-ISO 204,800 ("The standard ISO range is 100-51,200 but expanded hits 102,400 and 204,800. Some sample photos I saw from a pre-production model that were shot at ISO 25,600 were ridiculously, ridiculously clean.")
-12fps RAW shooting
-61-point autofocus
-Three DIGIC image processors
-One gigabit ethernet port
-Auto-focus and metering has its own processor
-Carbon fiber blades make for a shutter rated to 400,000 cycles
-Dual-axis electronic leveling (I've heard of this, but never used it)

ha. And I thought the D3s 128,000 was ridiculous. Having said that, 128k ISO is virtually unusable. It's like looking at christmas lights.

That was the feature that blew my mind. My 1D Mk II is virtually unusable at 3200. I can't imagine a clan 25 600. I would love to have that camera.

Wow, I've felt like since moving I just haven't had the time to take any pictures lately. Finally got around to doing some yesterday evening as we took a nice walk up the McHugh Bluff from Sunnyside.

As is typical Bigtime they are skyscraper shots, love the fall colours sneaking into the bottom of the shots:

A couple HDR's. I know not everyone is a fan of them, but thought they turned out decent.

Good, though his two Halloween outfits are still too big...
So, he'll be handing out candy with papa.
