When I first picked up my Apple iPhone 4, I thought about getting a case for it, but with being a student, I found that spending $40+ on a case for my phone was a bit high. I'm really good with taking care of my electronics, and I didn't think that having my iPhone 4 caseless would be a big deal. Silly right? Spending $40 to help protect a $800 … Continue Reading »

One of the things that I am quite picky about when it comes to camera equipment is camera bags. I have multiple ones (Robyn says I am a camera bag horder) and each one has a specific purpose. I probably could not have too many of the either. With this past school year, I purchased a Macbook Air for school, but I also wanted to find myself a great bag … Continue Reading »

I'm not the most avid transit user, but I do take transit at least 3 times a week here in the Metro Vancouver area. For us, the transit authority here is Translink. Yes, I am sure people will complain about the service they provide, but in my experience, it really isn't as bad as people say it is.
With living out in White Rock, I do rely on taking transit to … Continue Reading »

Do you have an Apple iPhone (3G, 3Gs or even the 4) and have you ever tinkered around with the built in Google Maps app? Perhaps you’ve even tried to use it while driving in your car? Granted, with each new version of the iPhone, the GPS feature does get better, but it is not perfect. Over the years I have noticed that if you have used Google Maps and … Continue Reading »

Lately Robyn has been enjoying her Blackberry Curve 8530 and we've been looking at various cases to help protect it against bumps and scratches. Funny enough, Shawn from OCIA was giving away a Blackberry Curve case to anyone who had a phone that would fit. I quickly got in touch with Shawn and he was able to ship me the case for Robyn.
First Impressions
Right off the bat the design of … Continue Reading »

One of the accessories for my Canon EOS 7D that I have been looking at ever since I first got the camera has been the battery grip, the BG-E7. Lately it seems local camera stores have been running some pretty crazy pricing with this particular Canon camera accessory and I could not pass up the opportunity to purchase it while saving over $200! Before, I just didn't see the value … Continue Reading »

One of the items that some photographers might over look are the faster card readers. Depending on what camera equipment you use to capture your images with, the file sizes of those photos are starting to get larger and larger. I don't know about you, but with my current camera body (Canon EOS 7D) my RAW files are roughly 22MB in file size. Take into account I can easily shoot … Continue Reading »

If you've seen me out and about with my camera in the Vancouver area, chances are you've seen what I typically use on my photowalks; the Lowepro Topload Zoom AW.
When I first started looking for an easy to use bag that would fit my camera and largest lens (while attached) but not hamper me on my travels, I had looked at many different styles. I found that styles tend to … Continue Reading »

One thing that has been bugging me is my camera body, Canon EOS 450D aka Digital Rebel XSi. A while back ago I managed to sort of break my Canon XSi when a small mishap occurred, the camera fell over (while on a tripod) and jammed the EF 50mm f1.8 I had on it. Ever since then, one of the connectivity pins inside the camera (mainly the one that talks … Continue Reading »
