Again Leigh Hubner creates beautiful work using a Canon 5D. These cameras a just it. on a budget you can’t go past what can be done on these little muscle cameras.

Sunrise weather presenter Grant Denyer set the task of getting from Cairns to Cape York on motorbike and being the first to broadcast live from the very tip of Australia. Here is a look at the week and its challanges. Make sure you check out the last 30sec of the video. Its a little behind the scenes look at how we moved out SNG and camera gear up to the very very tip.

This is just great and shows that on a budget Canon gear does the job.

Mark Beretta from Channel 7’s Sunrise joins 75 cyclists as they ride from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast all in the name of cancer research. Here is a 10min look at 10days of riding and a glimpse of the scenery that the riders enjoyed on their 1400km journey.

The Twenty Ten project – training African multimedia journalists for the World Cup with Canon DSLRs Dr DJ Clark is a leading photojournalist and educator, training students across the globe in the use of DSLR video for news reporting. He is also course leader of the new MA International Multimedia Journalism starting this year in Beijing,China run by the University of Bolton (UK). DJ has recently worked with World Press Photo foundation helping cover the news surrounding 2010 FIFA World Cup. He also works with China Daily’s website. Over the past two years World Press Photo, Free Voice, Africa Media Online and Lokaalmondiaal have been training print, radio and photo journalists to ready themselves for covering the World Cup. The aim has been to provide African media with stories created and edited by African journalists – a counterpoint to the mainstream ‘western’ wire services; an African voice for an African event. Over 120 journalists from 34 different countries trained and of these, 18 were chosen to join a journalistic ‘Dream team’ in South Africa during the World Cup itself. Award winning photojournalist Jonathan Torgovnik and myself were tasked with the job of choosing the best African multimedia journalists to be part of the project. We held one workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa and another in Lusaka, Zambia, training 20 of them to work on short projects and demonstrated how I used the Canon DSLRs to produce multimedia. During the next few months we are working a similiar project with Indigenous students from the Cairns and North Queensland region to develop the use of appropriate technology use for our Indigenous communities.

Canon Wonder Camera Concept at Expo 2010

Interesting demonstration of a ‘Wonder Camera’ concept from Canon at the Japanese pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo. It is Canon’s imagining of what a camera will be like around the year 2030, but what is really interesting is that most of the technology they show appears to actually work today. This camera of the future would have a single touch-controlled, image-stabilised megazoom lens going from extreme macro to 5000mm super telephoto and everything would be in focus. One assumes that to get shallow depth of field the camera would apply some kind of computer algorithm and not actually use optical techniques. It would feature a super high definition sensor and only capture video, using the video to generate stills if needed. If you observe carefully, the camera is tethered to a backpack worn by the presenter. One can assume that much of the camera’s electronics are really in a computer in this backpack which may be linked wirelessly or tethered to even more computing power behind the scenes. Even so, I’ld love to take a peek inside and see what makes it tick. At one point they show off multiple faces in the audience being tracked; later, these are turned into individual portraits simply by cropping the high resolution sensor. I assume that what is holding technology like this back is storage capacity and computing power – and given how quickly these are increasing you may not have to wait until 2030 for the chance to buy something like this.

NYU Students Raise More than $100,000 to Build Facebook Alternative

Four New York University students have a vision to build Diaspora, “an open source personal web service that will put individuals in control of their data,” or essentially the anti-Facebook.

They started with just a dream and a prayer — that prayer was to raise $10,000 by June 1 so that they could spend the summer making their vision a reality. They reached that goal in just 12 days.

Now, still more than two weeks away from their deadline, the team of programmers has already broke $100,000, collected via the fundraising platform Kickstarter.
