13.04.2010Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II USM review
04.04.2010I consider the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens to be the second most important lens in my kit with the first being a more general purpose lens in focal length range. It is not an inexpensive lens, but it is very worth the price in my opinion – and very worthy of its red ring. While this is a completely pro-grade lens, you definitely do not have to be a pro to appreciate it. Get the “II”!

5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.4 Available
19.03.2010In the Version 2.0.4 firmware, the following phenomena that occurred with the Version 2.0.3 firmware (which was to enhance the movie functions) have been corrected.
There was a phenomenon in which the manual recording settings made in C1/C2/C3 were changed and sound could not be recorded if manual sound recording was used in the C1/C2/C3 settings and the camera was subsequently turned off (or if Auto Power Off was activated). This does not occur in modes other than C1/C2/C3.
The Version 2.0.4 firmware includes the movie function enhancements listed in items 1 through 5 below, and also incorporates the correction listed in item 6.
Adds or changes the following movie frame rates.
NTSC:
1920×1080 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
640×480 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
PAL:
1920×1080 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
640×480 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
Adds a function for manually adjusting the sound recording level (64 levels).
Adds a histogram display (brightness or RGB) for shooting movies in manual exposure.
Adds shutter-priority AE mode (Tv) and aperture-priority AE (Av) mode to the exposure modes for shooting movies.
Changes the audio sampling frequency from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.
Fixes a phenomenon where communication between the camera and the attached lens is sometimes interrupted after manual sensor cleaning. (This phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.4.)

15.03.2010Pekelný víkend končí, fotografická sezóna začíná
13.03.2010Výstava orchidejí Praha
11.03.2010Orchideje: 12. - 21. březen 2010, Skleník Fata Morgana už zase exoticky něžný, od úterý do neděle, 9 - 17 h.
V roce 2006 začala Botanická zahrada hl. města Prahy psát obnovenou tradici orchidejových výstav v Praze. V rámci 5. ročníku najdeme v Troji orchideje v přírodních i aranžérských kompozicích. Vedle přehlídky botanických i komerčních druhů orchidejí nabídne zahrada kompletní servis těm, kteří se nechají uchvátit krásou kouzelných květů a rozhodnou se stát jejich sběrateli:
prodej rostlin i potřeb pro jejich pěstování
poradenská služba
O víkendech proběhne každou celou hodinu zdarma (od 10 do 16 hodin) orchidejové provázení. Ve štole a hale skleníku Fata Morgana nás určitě dostanou kresby Inky Delevové a na cestě ke skleníku Fata Morgana tzv. Orchidejová stezka (textem komentované obrázky nejzajímavějších „špeků").
