As usual I’m catching up a week at one. I figured it would probably be easier to do one giant post that covers the whole week. I’m still shooting a photo a day, they’re in the gallery at the bottom and in the PAD gallery. But I figured one post will make more sense. Anyway, […]

With the sale of the 1D, I purchase a 40D. I feel it’s a better second body for me. I owned the 1D because I’ve always wanted to get into sports photography (skiing, sailing and snowboarding). To me I needed a 1 series because I needed to be able to do sequences in order to […]

We’ve been trying to get Elias into his crib to sleep as much as possible lately. The swing works, but Nikki’s reading a book that suggests using a babies crib as much as possible. It makes a good point that sleeping in a living room is like sleeping in the middle of a department store. […]

Welcome to the new subblog of benjacobsenphoto.com. I made this site because I needed a place to keep all my gear posts organized without cluttering my personal or photo blogs. If you’re looking for those visit the links on the right. This blog is basically setup so I have a place to store my galleries […]

The time has come to sell my 1D. I picked this up used when I sold my 1DmII because I felt that I “needed” a sports camera. Part of me has always wanted to be a sports photographer (skiing, snowboarding and sailing) so having a sports specific body is nice. I shoot it occasionally for […]

I’ve decided to sell my 24-70L. It’s a wonderful lens and I’m torn. I’ve been shifting my preference towards primes lately which is a huge factor. I also only want 2 zooms for when I travel and having a UWA zoom and a tele zoom make more sense as they don’t overlap. This has been […]

3/18/2008 I shot this when I got home tonight. It’s Elias in his crib swaddled. It seems this helps him sleep in his crib a bit better. He loves sleeping on either of us, but sometimes when we set him in the crib alone he wakes right up… Who knows though, maybe it’s just each […]

I picked up a canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II today. I’ve had a 17-40mm L for a while now and it’s a fantastic lens. There are 2 reasons for the 16-35 though; it’s one stop faster, and it’s 1mm wider. That doesn’t seem like much, but I’ve noticed I’ve been shooting the fisheye a lot […]

Well I picked a new lens today. I’ve had a canon 28mm f/1.8 for a while now and I’ve been unhappy with it’s AF. I picked up the canon 24mm f/1.4 L to replace it. It’s a wonderful lens, but it’s much bigger and heavier. The focus is lightning quick and the IQ is amazing, […]
