Dale Neill imparted some of his extensive photographic wisdom on Sunday to a group of about 15 Busselton locals.  The all day workshop was focused on studio lighting techniques and and gave people the chance to explore the wonderful world of studio portraiture.  Dale also gave important lessons on interacting with your subject and showed the importance of communication and building a rapport during the shoot.Camera Electronic was pleased to support the event, we drove down on the evening before the workshop with a van full to the brim with lighting equipment and a huge range of other photographic goodies.  From Nikon 300mm f2.8 lenses and D3 bodies to Digital Grey Cards and SteadePod's we had it all on hand for people to try out for the day.Thanks to everyone who came and made it a great day!  ...

Earlier this month Nikon Japan announced the release of a new mid level camera body designed to fill the gap between the D7000 and D3100 models.The D5100 is designed around the same principle as the D7000 and represents a new generation of Nikon entry level digital SLR camera bodies.  The new model offers many of the same image quality characteristics as the D7000 but manages to do so at a lower price point, the two cameras share a very similar sensor but the D5100 makes do with a few less features like wireless flash control or 39 point AF system.The Australian cameras are set to be delivered with the AF-S 18-55mm VR lens.  Watch this space for more information about pricing and availability when the first stock arrives....

Medium format digital cameras are expensive right?  Well yes, they are pretty pricey, but it wasn't too long ago when the gap between a pro 35mm format digital camera and a medium format digital camera was enormous.  On top of the extra tens-of-thousands of dollars you would need to drop on a medium format system you then had to contend with slow performance, less than intuitive user interface and a high ISO performance which was pretty dismal.Now days things are all different,  The Hasselblad H4D-31 now offers many of the conveniences of smaller format cameras with the advantage of a big sensor packed with 31 million of the best pixels money can buy.  Sure it's still slightly more than a pro 35mm body with a nice zoom lens but now days the few thousand extra buys you a whole lot more camera.Pictured: Hasselblad H4D-31 with HC 100mm f2.2 The Hasselblad H4D-31 is now only $15,995inc GST and comes complete with a HC 80mm f2.8 lens, an absolute bargain if you look at what the money buys you! Firstly and most...

Zeiss has announced it plans to market a lens kit bundle with custom waterproof hard case, something along the lines of the old Cine kits that movie directors would be accustomed to.     As Hi Def video becomes more and more a standard feature on digital SLR cameras the need for high quality lenses with a traditional manual focus operation has taken off.  Focus pulls and pre focusing is infinitely more difficult with AF lenses which simply don't have that silky smooth and precise manual focus feel of the Zeiss counterparts. Zeiss is marketing this lens kit as a Cine solution for pro shooters with five lenses they believe are the most popular for this application.  The lens line up that they are to bundle together looks to be (at this stage!) the Distagon 21mm f2.8,  Distagon 28mm f2, Distagon 35mm f2, Planar 50mm f1.4 and Planar 85mm f1.4Pricing is not entirely clear at the moment but it looks as though buyers will get some big savings if buying the whole kit together rather than the five lenses individually. ...
