iPhone about to be most popular camera on Flickr
This here chart shows the most popular cameras used by Flickr members. I’m guessing that spike about 1/3 of the way in is when Verizon started service.
New Canon 7D firmware 1.2.5
– Fixed a rare phenomenon in which there were rare cases where movie files taken could not be opened when repeatedly shooting movies with specific CF cards.
– Fixed a rare phenomenon in which there were cases where “Err 02″ appeared when repeatedly shooting still images with specific CF cards.
– Fixed a phenomenon that occurred when using high-capacity (32 GB or greater) CF cards: If either a CF card with only a little available space remaining or the battery was removed and then reinserted into the camera, and then the user attempted to start shooting movies immediately, shooting would stop.
– Improved the writing/reading speeds when using UDMA 7-compatible CF cards.
– Fixed a phenomenon that occurred when custom function C.Fn 4-1 was set to assign IS start to the AF stop button on the lens: When used with lenses that do not have an AF stop button, the IS function would not work.
– Corrected some mistakes in the menu screens displayed in Arabic and Portuguese. (This applies to models in overseas markets. The models for the Japanese market do not display those languages.)

2,130 photo time lapse
On my most recent solo excursion to New York, I decided to shoot a time lapse of the drive. I set the camera up on a tripod in the passengers seat, used a fisheye lens, set the intravelometer to shoot once every ten seconds. I was worried that the battery would run out, but alas it did not. Kudos to the LP-E4 battery for the 1DIII.
Filmer Board Setups
Props talks with some of todays filmers about the skateboards they use to film lines and fancy rolling long lens shots.

Scanning/Processing tutorials
I wrote up, rather hastily, a tutorial for scanning film and a walkthrough for processing/editing said film. If anyone really cares to, give me some feedback. I know I should add some screen grabs and stuff… It would be much easier to do a video walkthrough, but I myself don’t have the patience for watching those things. How about you? Should I just do video tutorials? Responses greatly appreciated.
