Apr. 14th, 2008 10:07 pmFirst, I picked up an new lens: Canon EF S55-250 mm with image stabilization (details on Digital Photography Review).
Normally image stabilization adds at least $300 to the price of a $200 to $300 lens, but this one was $50 more than the 55-200. I compared the 55-200, 70-300 and the 55-250 IS in the store and at ranges above 100mm the image stabilization REALLY makes a difference. I spent the afternoon shooting with it and was very impressed with how well it handled (photos soon.... I'm behind by two photo sessions with about 100 photos in each session).
Next, May is travel month.
- May 2nd to 8th I am in Boston with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ms_danson while she attends a conference.
- May 10th to 18th I am in Victoria. This time she attends while I am at a conference. The first part of the week we will be at the Fairmont Empress, then moving to the Albion Manor.
June has me in Seattle from the 10th to the 14th of June at another conference.
Finally, here are a list of coming movies for the next few months from FirstShowing.net. Click on the image for the trailer.
