Photographer Creates Incredible World Series Time-Lapse Video
NYC-based freelance photographer Robert Caplin compiled over 5,000 images that he captured using three cameras in 25 locations around Yankee Stadium, all in one night—and (as also seen on the New York Times Web site) the result is clearly worth all the effort. Caplin posts on his blog that he arrived at 3 P.M. on game day to scout locations before beginning to set up his cameras, which included three Canon 5D, Mark II bodies with a variety of lenses that ranged from a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM wide-angle zoom to a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift. Caplin points out that he could have used any camera, however, considering that the Mark II's video functionality was not used; he compiled the video entirely from still images.While some images were shot with the camera mounted on a standard tripod, Caplin also used a retrofitted motorized telescope mount to slowly pan as the camera fired, resulting in a very slick, unique time-lapse panorama of sorts. Check out the video above to see what I'm talking about, all set to Chopin's surprisingly fitting Waltz No. 5. Monday November 16, 2009

Olympus E-P1 Body with Panasonic GF1 Lens: Still Slow
...
The Olympus E-P1 (shown above) is part of a new breed of cameras called Micro Four Thirds: they promise D-SLR-quality images and the blazing focusing speeds of D-SLR cameras, at half the size of D-SLRs. The E-P1 delivered on all points except fast focusing speeds. Olympus tried to improve things with a firmware update, but it didn't helpshown .Enter the Panasonic Lumix GF1. It's the same size as the E-P1 but actually delivers on fast focusing speeds. (Check out the full review on PC Mag.com.) Just out of curiosity, I decided to slap Panasonic's lens onto the Olympus camera (above) to see if that might speed up the focusing speed. It didn't. Wednesday October 28, 2009
