writing LMCC proposal or wasting time looking for something found

March 23, 2010

today i am trying to finish up a Lower Manhattan Culture Council application for a workspace. this is my first time application for anything of this kind. seems collage people take classes in this or are born with these qualities. for me it’s a big push, not in doing my artistic work,  just writing about it. glad i took those creative writing courses at the new school. i am sort of stymied at doing a resume, i don’t want a job, i’ve had too many of those. all i want out of this is a clean space to work.

so i needed to put together a cd of images and all the ones i selected are a few years old, lets dig through a HD and see what i can find, it’s always interesting.

Parul Shah Dancer

these images are part of a commission work for the Parul Shah Dance company advertisement but are my outtakes. originally they had me shooting in a dance rehearsal studio way too small and ugly background, but ‘all we need are the images and we’ll photoshop the background out.’  OK

but i think listening to me and doing these images in a more controled enviroment is better for the images, but hey what do i know

Parul Shah Dancers

these images are from  reshoot in my studio because my camera canon 20d at the time stopped working. it does that every once in a while oh well. so we did these the next day. but i can’t remember if they were happy with the other images or what but i got a couple for me.

odd that some people come through my life briefly and i never hear from them again while others keep in touch, life is that way.

Canon 5D Mll Firmware update to update

March 23, 2010


Dear Jene,

Thank you for using Canon products.

We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience caused to our customers by suspending the availability of the Version 2.0.3 firmware.

We are now introducing the Version 2.0.4 firmware. This firmware corrects the malfunction that occurred in the previous Version 2.0.3 firmware, in which the manual recording level changed and made recording impossible.

Customers who have the Version 2.0.3 firmware on their cameras should update the firmware to Version 2.0.4.

Functional Enhancements
In the Version 2.0.4 firmware, the following phenomena that occurred with the Version 2.0.3 firmware (which was to enhance the movie functions) have been corrected.

  • There was a phenomenon in which the manual recording settings made in C1/C2/C3 were changed and sound could not be recorded if manual sound recording was used in the C1/C2/C3 settings and the camera was subsequently turned off (or if Auto Power Off was activated). This does not occur in modes other than C1/C2/C3.

The Version 2.0.4 firmware includes the movie function enhancements listed in items 1 through 5 below, and also incorporates the correction listed in item 6.

      • 1920×1080 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
      • 1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
      • 640×480 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)

      • 1920×1080 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
      • 1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
      • 640×480 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)

    • NTSC:

    • PAL:

  2. Adds or changes the following movie frame rates.

  3. Adds a function for manually adjusting the sound recording level (64 levels).
  4. Adds a histogram display (brightness or RGB) for shooting movies in manual exposure.
  5. Adds shutter-priority AE mode (Tv) and aperture-priority AE (Av) mode to the exposure modes for shooting movies.
  6. Changes the audio sampling frequency from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.
  7. Fixes a phenomenon where communication between the camera and the attached lens is sometimes interrupted after manual sensor cleaning. (This phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.4.)

Affected Product
EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR

Firmware
Firmware update Version 2.0.4 is now available for download from the following URL: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos5dm2/firmware.html

Notes
Firmware Version 2.0.4 is for EOS 5D Mark II cameras with firmware up to Version 2.0.3. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 2.0.4, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Movies captured using EOS 5D Mark II cameras with Firmware Version 1.1.0 to 1.2.4 can be played back on cameras updated with Firmware Version 2.0.4. However, if you try to play back movies captured with a camera with the new firmware on a camera with a previous firmware version, the message “Cannot play back image” appears on the camera’s LCD monitor.

It is recommended that you use the latest Canon applications1 to edit movies captured with EOS 5D Mark II cameras that have the latest firmware because some previous versions do not support movie-editing functions and the frame rates that are added or changed by the latest firmware. You can download the latest Canon applications from our Web site.

1 ZoomBrowser EX Version 6.5.0 or later (compatible operating systems: Windows XP/Vista/7)
ImageBrowser Version 6.5.0 or later (compatible operating systems: Mac OS X v10.4/10.5/10.6)

In addition to the enhancements to the movie function, the accompanying instruction manual has also been revised. Users are asked to download both the latest firmware and the latest instruction manual.

(When updating the firmware of your camera, please first read the instructions thoroughly before you download the firmware.)
