		<description><![CDATA[In our last article, we talked about using Medium Format film in photography. When we left off, I said I&#8217;d discuss the look of Medium Format in comparison with smaller formats&#8230; But I lied.
What more is there to say? We&#8217;ve already discussed that Medium format film has a greater dynamic range between what is over-exposed and what is under-exposed. And that it also has a greater resolution. And we&#8217;ve already discussed the use of longer lenses and how they affect pictures. 
So the only thing left is to show you a few Medium Format pics of mine that can help you to be the judge:

&#8220;Fog and Fence&#8221;
The Depth of Field changes dramatically as your format grows.

&#8220;Sun over a snowy field&#8221;
Notice how the Sun looks like a Sun? Also how the snow isn&#8217;t overexposed and bleached out of existence? You can even pick up a lot of the details in the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You have probably heard of &#8220;Medium Format&#8221; film before (sometimes written as &#8220;MF&#8221; by people on the internet), but what is it? Is it something to be scared of and ignore every time someone brings up the subject? No way! It&#8217;s quite a great format to work with, especially once you find out how much more resolution you&#8217;re getting out of a single frame!
Catch this: a single frame from a Medium Format (square) negative is 60mm x 60mm (usually written as a 6&#215;6 or &#8220;6cm x 6cm&#8221;, but we&#8217;re labeling it in &#8220;millimeters&#8221; to avoid confusion in this article), while a 35mm negative is 24mm x 36mm. That means the Medium Format negative is roughly 4 times the image resolution of a 35mm negative.
If you&#8217;re transferring your Medium Format over to digital, you should be able to get at least 50 megapixels (7072 x 7072 pixels) of image resolution out of your ...]]></description>

		<title>Interiors? Shutter Speed at 1/60th of a Second</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Shooting interiors without a flash? Don&#8217;t go any longer than 1/60th of a second. But why will setting your camera&#8217;s shutter speed to 1/60th of a second benefit you? I can start by saying that 1/60th isn&#8217;t a magic number for many shots, but it is a magic number for most people shooting interiors handheld. Anything slower than 1/60th of a second and you will likely get motion blur, as most people can&#8217;t hold still for longer than that. Sure, the occasional photograph can be attained from longer handheld exposures, but most photographers have several factors against them that will affect their picture:

Heartbeat. Yes, our hearts do beat, and even more so when you have to stop for a few seconds and grab a shot.
Breathing. We all breath and when we stop for a few seconds, our heart seems to pick up the pace&#8230;
Standing. As bipeds, our brain keeps our body from falling ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an SD, SDHC, CF card transfer speed to MegaBytes per second chart:
1000x = 150MB/s
 966x = 145MB/s
 933x = 140MB/s
 900x = 135MB/s
 866x = 130MB/s
 833x =  125MB/s
 800x = 120MB/s
 766x = 115MB/s
 733x = 110MB/s
 700x = 105MB/s
 666x = 100MB/s
 633x =  95MB/s
 600x =  90MB/s
 566x =  85MB/s
 533x =  80MB/s
 500x =  75MB/s
 466x =  70MB/s
 433x =  65MB/s
 400x =  60MB/s
 366x =  55MB/s
 333x =  50MB/s
 300x =  45MB/s
 266x =  40MB/s
 233x =  35MB/s
 200x =  30MB/s
 166x =  25MB/s
 150x =  22.5MB/s
 133x =  20MB/s
 100x =  15MB/s
  66x  = 10MB/s (SD speed class 10)
  40x  = 06MB/s (SD speed class 6)
  26x  =  04MB/s (SD speed class 4)
  13x  =  02MB/s (SD speed class 2)
The speed of the card is either specified in &#8220;x&#8221; transfer speed ratings (300x) or in MB per second (45MB/s). This is based off the system used for the original CDROMs, which is 150 KB/s. For our purposes, this can better be read as 0.15MB/s, since 1,000 kilobytes = 1 Megabyte (150 kB/s = 0.15 MB/s). So:
&#8220;x&#8221; transfer rate ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After teaching our photography classes yesterday, my good friend Marc Weinberg and I met up and, as usual, started discussing cameras. We had both shot a few rolls of B&#38;W medium format the prior week and were discussing the size of the medium in comparison to full-frame. Then, also as usual, we started discussing the Canon lineup of cameras and comparing the Full-Frame, APS-H, and APS-C (Marc owns a Canon 1DMIII and a 5DMII).
As our discussions progressed, we eventually brought up the upgrade issue. We brought up the question: Is there a need for me to upgrade from the Canon 7D (which I own) to a larger format (like the Canon 1DM4 or Canon 5DM2)? Looking at the upgrade options, the only thing currently in my price range is the Canon 5DM2. Now, let me put this out here now &#8211; I am not really interested in upgrading from my 7D anytime soon. It&#8217;s been a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is just a quick reminder, since it&#8217;s such a nice day out: Don&#8217;t forget to take your camera with you this evening and get some great shots. The sky was beautiful last night and it looks like it will be another beautiful evening again tonight. So bring your camera and a good fast lens if you have one!
