Welcome back, after a long time off I am returning to bring great new content back to JMaccPhotography! I took off for a few months to get back on track, to center my Chee. I really wanted to get my creativity back and I believe I have don it, so lets get too it! I took this photo last year at my best friends wedding, he was looking for a photographer in his price range and couldn’t find one, he of course knew how creative I was and loved my art, so he gave me a call and this photo was the result! He and his and his bride had their wedding on the very beautiful golf course Dauphin Highlands in Harrisburg, Pa. This course had the most beautiful grounds, they have great scenes and great photos spots! I

Canon EOS Concept SLR Will Shoot Killer 4K Video

A Canon EOS 4K SLR is on the way. We just learned about the $20,000 Canon EOS C300Digital Cinema Camera due out in January. Canon has also released some details about a video-oriented SLR, and we’re drooling. The Canon EOS 4K SLR is just a concept now, but it’s pretty exciting. We do know that it’ll have a full frame CMOS sensor, and that it’ll record 4K video at 24 fps, but that’s about it. No word on pricing or availability, but Canon is definitely targeting the professional production set with the concept camera. When I first saw this camera, Man I all I wanted to do was shoot video! Soon Enough!

Sigma 30mm f.1.4: A Review!

On November 25, 2011 / Reviews / Leave a comment

Today I’m going to be reviewing my latest addition to my gear bag, The Sigma 30mm f 1.4 Portrait lens! I traded in my old Sigma fisheye. I wanted to keep the Sigma fisheye but It was collecting dust, so It was a must go! I purchased this lens from B/H-Photo, Which is always great, fast shipping. After receiving this lens I was stunned on how solid it felt and how glad I was when it came with a hood and a carrying case. I am always upset with Canon not giving their lenses with lens hoods. I feel that it should be a required accessory to every lens, The focusing ring is a little stiff but very smooth and I feel it is perfect balance between stiffness and smoothness. The feel of the lens in your hand is

LensBand: A Review

On November 7, 2011 / News, Reviews / Leave a comment

Large and heavy glass lenses are subject to what photographers call ‘zoom creep’ where they have the tendency to extend outward when pointed downwards. This is a problem that frustrates some photographers to no end! Me included! There is a way you can fix this problem easily and all you might need is a specialized tool. I ordered one of this “tool” in white to try it on my lens that always gives me trouble, I received it in the mail about 4 days later and so far it seems to fit all my other lens and was very easy to place on the trouble maker. I noticed at first that even with the LensBand over the zoom ring, It still creeped a little, I just adjusted it slightly and now doesn’t move at all! The LensBand is made

Review: Sigma 10mm 2.8 Fisheye!

On October 24, 2011 / Reviews / Leave a comment

Today I’m reviewing my Sigma 10mm 2.8 Fisheye, I bought this lens in march and loved its use. I have used it for my club gigs and sometimes my urban shots, recently though I haven’t had much use for it but I love it none the less. I purchased it off B&H Photo.com and they shipped if fast for sure! Right when it arrived I was leaving for Maine to shoot some snowboarders and I took this little baby along to get some unique shots! I was loving the feel of the lens and the quality. Some say Sigma is known for its bad quality control, I say ” They are doing a great job!” I just love how it feels in hand and on camera. The lens has a perfect weight to it and the focusing ring is SO SMOOTH, It’s like a hot knife through butter! Focusing:
