  • Update on proposed photographic essay book on Route 66 - the Mojave Experience:
    In just 10 days, I have 18 "backers" (including the Canadian Route 66
    Association) and have $882 pledged of a $3000 goal to create a
    photographic essay book on the people who live and work on Route 66
    where it passes through the Mojave Desert (California). I still have 31
    days to raise the balance, won't you help me too? You can make a pledge
    of $1.00 or more here , on Kickstarter.com . If you find this project worthy, please share this message with your network.
    Thank you,
    Kevin Wong

  • @jose: This is one of the rare trips to Paris when Sky Gods were taking a break :) It was 19F/-7C mid-afternoon so :) Since I shoot for myself, there was no post-processing just reduced for the online world.
  • Beautiful pics, Anil! I've been to Paris many, many times, and I've rarely seen such blue skies! What did you do??
  • I had some pics of Paris from last month, I just uploaded, nothing special. Since I was staying by the Ecole'Militiare Metro, Eiffel was nearby, and Louvre I love , so some from there too :-)
  • @Cessy: If you are comfortable with the feel of canon, why not stick with the same ? Check out dpreviews, or photo.net In my experience handheld PS cameras do not make good video clips, they are good for low res youtube style small clips.
