Cerro Torre, night view with stars
- March 12, 2010 |
The Canon 300mm f/2.8 is not the classic landscape lens. That said,
sometimes the telephotos are the key for unique landscapes: if you are not
satisfied by the result you get with wide-angles, try a longer focal to focus
the attention on a detail of the landscape! This photo is taken from the first
viewpoint on the Cerro Torre, about 1 hour from El Chalten (1.30h if you have a
ton of photographic equipment). I visited the viewpoint for the first time at
sunset...

Travel notes from the world: Argentina
- March 10, 2010 |
Argentina is an huge country and it has a great variety of landscapes and
wildlife. I have visited Patagonia - the southern half of Argentina - with my
friend Emanuele Castronovo; we planned the trip by ourselves and we had chosen
February because it is a summer month in Patagonia (in the southern hemisphere
the seasons are to opposite in comparison with Europe...

Tamron SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD
- March 09, 2010 |
Tamron has announced the SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD! The interesting thing
about this lens is that is uses an ultrasonic AF motor...it is the first Tamron
lens to use this technology :) By the way, it is "true" ultrasonic motor, with
full time manual focus, it is not "micro usm" as the Canon 70-300 IS USM.
Details and discussion:

Canon 7D in the field: Patagonia
- March 05, 2010 |
In my latest trip to Patagonia I have had the opportunity to use extensively
the 7D in the field, for wildlife photography. I bought the 7D in late November
and I immediately liked it...now I like it even more! This photo has been taken
in Tierra Del Fuego, near Ushuaia. Like all wildlife photos of this trip, it is
taken handheld: using a stabilized lens, plus relatively high ISO, it is
possible to get tack sharp photos! The image quality of the 7D is...

Interesting stuff
- March 04, 2010 |
I don't put often websites in the home page news, but these two are
interesting! Photovisi (www.photovisi.com)
is a free online service that lets you create collages from your photos easily.
If you are looking for a well done web photo gallery software, instead, I
recommend to give a look to Piwigo (piwigo.org)!
Canon has finally announced the
new
firmware for Canon 5D2, that improves the video capabilities of this camera
to match the 7D. Last, one cool link you must not miss:

Do you want prints? :-)
- March 02, 2010 |
One year ago I stopped selling prints, but since I receive many request, I
have decided to give again this possibility :-)

for a maximum of 3 prints from the same file, without limits of size - you can
even print the image poster sized, if you want!
The price is 200 €; if
you are interested send me an E-MAIL! For other
usages, see information and pricing of

Holy cow! :-)
- February 23, 2010 |
| While I was photographing glaciers and mountains in Patagonia, there have
been a ton of interesting announcements! SanDisk has joined the club of the 64
GB SDXC cards; Sony has announced the development of a mirrorless Alpha camera;
Sigma has announced a ton of lenses, including my APS-C dream...a 8-16mm
f/4.5-5.6 HSM zoom! Nikon has announced the 24mm f/1.4 - a killer night photos
lenses, in particular if you combine it with the king of high ISO, her majesty
the Nikon D3s; Canon has announced the 550D, a good upgrade from the 500D - if
offers 18mp and HD video with full manual control. I'm going to review a lot of
this stuff as soon as possible! ...and that lovely 8-16mm may end up in my bag,
can't wait to try it! :-) |

I'm back :-)

these on the forum!), but please be patient! |
