Damn the iPhone, but it still rocks.

(Photo by Jonny Carroll) I can take a picture with a 400mm lens and hold it steady at slow shutter speeds. But for some reason in the picture you see of me trying to take a photo during a timeout of a football game i could not hold the iPhone steady enough to take a somewhat sharp photograph. Yes I know it's because the phone is compensating for the crappy light at the field thus the blurry photo.

My company 400 is going to the shop for repair. It's a work horse lens for me. I use it for sports and spot news. I take good care of the lens I guess the constant use of the lens wore out the parts.

Next update will be a soccer game on Friday then my vacation the following week. Maybe even some paintball.

New Years resolutions, fire and the iPhone

This is gonna be short. First this is a test for my iphone to see if can write to my blog. So far so good.

Second my resolution this year is to write more on this blog. At least once a week.

Lastly I want to mention something about the tanker truck fire photo on my website. One man was killed in the explosion. And another was hurt. When I was told about it I wasn't sure I would make it out to the site. Remarkably, I did, even with both directions of traffic shutdown. The photo was selected as Editor & Publisher Photo of the Week and wasselected as Texas AP photo of the month.
