To the millions of people in the United States who participated in a massive online protest against SOPA and PIPA… Thank you! If you guys missed out, sites like wipedia went dark while others like google blacked out their logo as a sign against SOPA on the 18th of January. Check out this page to see some pictures! However, a new one “The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act” which has too many too broad words in it that may hinder the freedom of the internet.

It seems that many people I meet are expecting another big earthquake to hit Japan soon! Some people that I’ve met here (Japan) have actually talked about something big going to strike. I really can’t blame them for worrying too much. Recently, there have been many small earthquakes that feel a bit different from the usual ones. However, I’m writing this blog because I want share something interesting that a friend, which I find very freaky yet amusing…

Lots of US sites going dark to protest SOPA

Having an LCD magnifyer would really help with dslr video and I was saving up for a 300 dollar Zacutto.Z-finder. However, before actually purchasing the Z finder, I saw an alternative viewfinder for half the price. This viewfinder is called the LCDVF! Read what I think about it….

Using exposure compensation

Ever go to a shoot and noticed that all your photos seemed to be slightly over exposed or under exposed even if you had your light meter right in the center? Well,  it’s easy to fix that problem with a built-in feature in many Canon dslrs called Exposure Compensation… Don’t worry… it’s really simple. Just a few steps and you’re good to go.

Preventing damage to your focus motor lenses

Most of Canon’s lenses have full-time manual focusing that allows you to manually focus even if the lens is switched to autofocus. But for lenses that don’t have this feature you are required to switch to manual focus or you can damage the focus motor. Most of them are EF-S lenses. Which one are they?
