One of the last nice people

When we went for a whole-day photo-shooting with Maria, nothing had prepared me for the person I would meet.  We had our time with the previous photo-shooting at Polilimnio lakes, but meeting a person in depth for the whole day is another story.  Maria seems to be the happiest person alive and she makes everyone around her feel the same.  Despite her being reluctant at first and that we started very early in the morning in order to shoot with soft light and flash in shadow, the day went very well.  She was a delight to watch and photograph, very co-operative and full with ideas and suggestions, something very valuable when the photographer runs out of ideas.  I had planned the morning well, but had no idea about the afternoon or night.  The thing is that when you plan something it never goes the way you want, so you have to improvise and we improvised quite well! 

Canon releases promised Firmware v2.0.0 for EOS 7D

Canon has released firmware version 2.0.0 for the EOS 7D. The update, originally announced in June, is the most comprehensive we can think of - significantly expanding the capabilities of the 7D. Changes include improved continuous-shooting buffer depth (to 25 Raws, up from the original 15), customizable Auto ISO, control of audio recording level for video and the ability to re-process Raws and rate images in-camera. The update also enables the use of the GP-E2 GPS module.
