I have just sold my old faithful 100-400mm L lens, and feel a little sad to see it go. Today I'm going to reflect on this lens a little, because it really changed my photography. See all images shot with this lens with this link: https://martinbaileyphotography.com/thumbnails.php?album=search&narrowdown=lens&search=Canon%20EF%20100-400mm%20F4.5-5.6L%20IS%20USM%20(77mm) Music in this Podcast created and produced by UniqueTracks.

This week is a first for the MBP Podcast, as I'm going to release a video slideshow of photographs from the MBP Hokkaido Workshop in January 2008. The video files are pretty large, so please only download the one you want. There is a full sized video that will look great on your computer screen, or Apple TV. This is Episode #146.1. There is also a smaller version for use on iPods, which is Episode #146.2. If you want both, be my guest, but the download will take a while. If you use Windows, you can also view the video with the Photodex Plugin, and right click to view full screen. The download is much smaller too, though the quality is top class. Find the Photodex version here: http://www.mbpworkshops.com/HokkaidoWorkshop2008Slideshow.php And if you want to see the Adobe Flash version, that's here: http://www.mbpworkshops.com/HokkaidoWorkshop2008FlashSlideshow.php Music in this Podcast created and produced by UniqueTracks.

Following on from the last episode, today I spill the beans on how to overcome the 35mm border restriction with Fine Art papers that Canon enforce with the driver software for the PIXMA Pro9500 A3+ pigment ink printer. Note that I will also release an episode 145.1, which contains a PDF file with some photographs of a number of test prints that I did. (https://martinbaileyphotography.com/podcasts.php?dt=ti&ep=145.1#Ep145.1) You can see details of the printer on the Canon Web site here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=182&modelid=12414 There's also a pretty cool flash page with lots of information about Canon's professional range of printers here: http://www.usa.canon.com/app/html/proPrinter/index.html
