From time to time, when we aren’t working or feeding our gear obsession by surfing B&H, we actually get out in the real world and take some pictures. That said, I bring you CameraPorn.net - On Location: Venice Beach, CA - the first of many posts where we take you to the places we shoot, for your viewing pleasure.

For those that don’t kow, Venice Beach is a down-to-earth beach community in the Los Angeles area. It’s known for its street performers and laid-back attitude. With Venice, comes the infamous boardwalk, a must-visit for any photo-obsessed people like us. A few favorites from the day are below, or check out the whole set on flickr.

Best time to visit: Weekend days
Best thing to shoot: People
Gear I brought: 50mm f/1.4, 17-85 f/4-5.6, 70-200 f/2.8 IS L

It Really is All About the Glass

From OnTakingPictures via Thomas Hawk, photographer Bill Wadman goes into why he would take a quality lens and cheap camera over expensive camera and cheapie lens in any situation. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve had this conversation with people when they ask me for advice on what camera or lens to buy.

He is pretty much spot on with everything he is saying and this quote about says it all: “I saw a girl with a high-end Gitzo tripod, 5D body, and some crappy consumer level zoom lens on the front. Honestly, I almost pushed her over the edge.” …as you should have! Check it out here.

More Canon 5d Mark II Rumors

Via Photography Bay, it seems Canon’s German site posted some information for a short period of time, and though its in German, looks like 16 MP and due in June. We’ve been expecting an announcement around ~~April 22nd or 24th~~ from other rumors. More details as we get them. Check out the story and more screenshots here.

Update: Obviously nothing happened on either the 22nd or 24th… I’m not at all happy about it… I want my 5D Mark II dammit! We will of course keep you updated with any new developments.
