    Another weekly update. Elias has been keeping us busy. It seems he doesn’t like to hold still, so he’s either being held, in the swing, going for a walk, or a car ride. We started Sunday Morning with a car ride to the beach. That let Nikki have her first time off in 7 weeks.…

    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…

    I picked up a canon 70-200mm f4 IS L on Monday. I had ordered the 2.8 version (with IS) the week before but it’s way to big and heavy for what I want to do. A lot of sports shooters like to argue that the 2.8 version will save shots with added shutter speed, but…

    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…

    4/6/2008 Elias spent a lot of time in the swing today. He really seems to be at home in it. He loves the motion and it has a noise maker that plays the sound of the ocean that he also seems to like. We didn’t do much today since we got everything we needed to…

    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…

    Well today was a fun day for me. I run a photography site that has a forum. So I spent some time over the weekend making a new theme for the forum that was bright pink AND backwards… In order to have some fun with the members I had to stay up until midnight so…
