Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D Firmware Update Version 1.0.9
For those shooting with the 450D, Canon has released a firmware update, version 1.0.9 which you can conveniently get here. According to Canon the fixes include:
- Fixes a phenomenon in which AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) shooting does not operate normally under specific conditions.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the Live View exposure simulation warning indication does not properly display during Live View shooting.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which images cannot be played back after continuous shooting when a printer is connected to the camera or a video output terminal is used.
As always proceed with caution…

Updated Updates to Lightroom and Camera Raw
Uh-oh.
Adobe has re-released updates to Camera Raw and Lightroom. Because this:
Camera Raw 4.4 incorrectly modified the EXIF time date field of images that were saved as TIFF or JPEG files from the Camera Raw dialog. This has been corrected in Camera Raw 4.4.1
is kind of bad. Nevertheless…all is well now. Right?
Lightroom 1.4.1: Mac, Win
Camera Raw 4.4.1: Mac, Win
Tom Hogarty at the Lightroom blog has got more on the updates.

Photoblog Updated
Maybe its just me. In addition to the very thin macbook pro, the iphone got some updates which of course I promptly downloaded.
Google maps now has geo-location, hybrid maps, and bookmark pins (all very cool), The “desktop” is now configurable with multiple screens to boot, and the dock is also now adjustable. There’s also several other usuability features thrown in for good measure.
Finally, the apple tv got updated, which was sorely needed. I now have to consider getting one, although the 720p bothers me a little bit. Still the price is completely reasonable, something to think about…
oh and before I forget, the photoblog’s been updated, this one of a waterfall near us called Bash Bish…let me know what you think.

Photoblog updated, some thoughts on the Canon 5D Mark II
Hey folks, put an update on the photoblog. This one was taken with Sony Cybershot, snapped in a restaurant. It just goes to show that it’s a good idea to always bring a camera with you, even a point and shoot, and that yes, your point and shoot can do more than just take “snapshots”. Of course this reminds me, I want a Canon G9. Does this thing seem like the perfect walkaround or what? 12 megapixel camera, with a giant 3 inch display shooting raw mode? That sounds pretty good to me. But I digress, the photograph on the blog was pulled into Adobe Lightroom, cropped, exposure adjusted, and white balance adjusted. From there it was on to Photoshop, with some editing in lab mode, then several adjustment layers (curves, black and white, and a burn and dodge).
For those who just must get their 2008 PMA rumor mongering on, Photography Bay has some thoughts posted on Canon 5d’s possible replacement timing. You can get that here.

1001 Noisy Cameras mentions Neutralday. Neutralday tips hat.
Found the source of our spike today. Seems we made the Photography Soup (first of the New Year to boot!) over at 1001 Noisy Cameras. Firstly thanks for the mention–it’s greatly appreciated, secondly welcome new viewers. As stated at the “Soup”, we (me and nobody else) have just recently got our feet wet at this blogging thing, but I’ll talk alot about everything related to photography—primarily oriented to those shooting DSLR’s but I’m also a gadget freak, so there’s a little bit of everything on the news side of things. But hey, it’s not just news, opinion, and gossip over the Canon 7d (?) around here, I’m a photographer too, so by all means check out the photoblog. Thanks and come again.
