Testimonial from Rulian Fiske – South Georgia Expedition

Posted in Antarctica, South Georgia, Testimonials, Travel Photography, Workshops and ExpeditionsLeave a comment

“Hi, Joshua, Thank you very much for the South Georgia Expedition!!  The South Georgia trip with you was indeed the BEST and most rewarding trip we’ve taken, and this includes the Around the World in a Private Jet trip with Nat Geo! The best part was the photography part. The opportunities and emphasis on photography was utterly wonderful! And the people on the trip were just so nice! And the atmosphere on the ship! Everything!”  – Rulian Fiske

You can read the full trip report from our last South Georgia Expedition online. If you have been wanting to visit Antarctica don’t miss out on our just announced White Nature expedition. There are now only very limited places remaining before we will be sold out.

What goes into a Canon 200-400mm Lens?

Posted in Equipment, News and UpdatesLeave a comment

Convincing yourself that an $11,000 USD camera lens is a worthy investment sometimes requires more than just a list of specifications. So Canon created a short stop-motion video of its EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM lens disassembling itself and revealing all of its wonderfully complicated internal components. If you already own this fabulous lens, then this is your chance to peer inside at all of the electronics, motors, gears, and lenses that make it tick. The last thing you want to do is crack it open yourself. Taking it apart might be easy, but putting it all back together? Not so much….Time to get your geek on and enjoy.200-400VideoAssemlby
