Speechless... Video action ! Parkour Rocks !

Ok. So this really has nothing to do with photography but hey can you blame me? After you watch this you just may feel the way I do.

I have always been a hug admirer of this urban extreme sport called Parkour. It is a combination of martial arts and running and gymnastics all put together, but in an urban environment.

If you ever saw the movie Casino Royale, in the opening scene where James Bond is chasing after this guy through buildings, that was parkour. So that being said, check this out and just sit back and enjoy.

New updates of images and photography stuff comin soon so stay tuned !

What I learned from Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods. Don't know about you, but I am just blown away at how gifted this golfer is. Not sure if there will ever be someone like him who will dominate that game the way he does. But for me I believe that Tiger's continued success was helped by him making one major decision in his career as a golfer and that was to "change his swing".

After knee surgery in 2002, Tiger knew he needed to change his swing otherwise his knee was not going to hold up for another season of golf. So he, to the shock of the golfing world, fired his swing coach Butch Harmon, and proceed to make adjustments to change his swing.

What resulted was no wins in 2003 and 2004. Yet through this time Tiger never seemed to second guess his decision. Then finally in 2005, he won his first open, the Buick Open in January and from that point has continued winning.

I love this quote from Tiger, "Have I ever second-guessed it? No," Mr. Woods said in early ‘05. "I took some steps backward to go forward, to make some giant leaps forward."

I have followed Tigers example and started to restructure my business this fall and winter. And I am excited by the steps I have taken. To some it may seem futile, but then again that is what people seemed to feel about Tiger changing his swing and coming back even stronger.

So here's my question for the day.

As a photographer, what do you need to "change" in your game to see improvements and growth and a sense of life come back again ?

Do you need to be open to a new photographic style or grow in your photoshop application to your style ?

Do you need to start a blog ?

Do you need to update your website?

Do you need to update your prices ?

Give it some thought.

Will talk more about Change in Life tomorrow.

Blessings,

5D mk2 Coming Soon !

Well, I am sure that you all have heard of the 5Dmk2 from Canon coming soon. If you haven't and you are an advid photographer you might want to check this camera out. I would say that the benefits to this camera is the high iso rate but with absolute low digital noise. But the killer feature is that you can also shoot HD Video on the camera too ! How cool is that !

Check it out and see for yourself.

Got to these links.

Vincent Laforet created a small movie with the camera here.

For ISO comparisons check out here
