These cameras are game changers and represent a whole new world of opportunities and challenges. I imagine that the photographer of the future will be expected to provide video as well as stills.
We are investing in video related equipment to be prepared to make an early entry into the video production arena. Let your imagination go an think of all the products and services that might be accomplished with such a capable camera.

Here is a great piece of video shot with the Canon 5d Mark2.  I discovered this work over at the Cinema5d.com forum.  I have joined this forum to learn about this new world of motion and video.

The Canon 5d files are a bit of a problem with PC computers and software.  I have burned lots of hours lately trying to be successful with handling the 5s files.  My most recent solution is to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.  There is a system to import the files directly into the time line and hit enter and Premiere Pro make a Proxy file automatically for you.  Every other solution locks up or crashes my maxed out PC computer.

I am shooting video as well as stills at our weddings lately but I have nothing to share just yet.  I am finding plenty of things to learn about though!!

highspeed_sync Canon Flash Jerry Schmidt

High Speed Flash Diagram from Canon Flash Work

Normal flash requires a synchronizing shutter speed or below.  In a synchronizing shutter speed, the first curtain travels to a fully open position, at this point the flash is triggered and extinguishes before the second curtain follows.  When a photograph is taken with a high shutter speed with a normal flash the result will be a partial picture.

Flash is possible with extremely high shutter speed with a setting on Canon Flash that is called – High Speed sync.  High speed sync modes actually are a very fast strobo cycle that paints the exposure as the narrow slit of the focal plane shutter curtain races across the sensor.

Here is an excellent resource for Canon Flash

I just order the new Pocket Wizard

Mini TT1 and Flex TT5: TTL Radio Triggers

These radio slaves will open up a world of radio controlled High Speed TTL flash in bright ambient lighting situations where the built in optical communication between flashes would be difficult.

I am thinking about a 580 flash mounted in a softbox used in full TTL – HS flash at 1/4000 sec at f/2.8.

Warrensburg HS Tigers Basketball
I have been shooting the old machine gun Canon 1DMIIn at my son’s basketball games.  It is a little noisy, but sometimes it will lock on focus and nail 8 frames a second.  There are several sequences from this season that have a player in the air for 4 frames.  I have been shooting the 70-200 2.8 L and the 24-70 2.8 L lenses mostly wide open at 1600 ISO.  We designed the schedule poster in Fotofusion and Photoshop.  The Fotofusion allows output in a Photoshop document with layers.  Cool!!
