pwned: Catching up: Munich, Memories and Museums (w/ images)
http://beckdiefenbach.blogspot.com/2008/07/catching-up-munich-memories-and-museums.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2008. Catching up: Munich, Memories and Museums (w/ images). First I'd like to explain my lack of posts over the last week. Last week, we continued our trip by traveling from Prague to Munich- staying at the Wombat's Youth Hostel for 6 nights. The hostel was outfitted with computers which lacked any USB port- the only way I can upload images to this blog (unedited images mind you). Surfers in Munich's enormous English Garden. Paraphrased from my journal-. July 4, 8:06 AM (Friday). The na...

pwned: August 2008
http://beckdiefenbach.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. First week in St. Louis, MO. Last Monday I started my internship at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I have shot a few assignments- having used a lot of my time here learning the system of the PD and getting around the my new city. In my first week here in St. Louis I have been able to shoot a large range of assignments. One of my first jobs was to shoot a portrait of a local business woman. Canon EOS-1D with 70-200mm f2.8, 100 ISO, f2.8 at 1/500 of a sec. For my themed portrait I as...

pwned: The Canon 5D Mark 2- stats analysis [WARNING: May contain camera jargon]
http://beckdiefenbach.blogspot.com/2008/09/canon-5d-mark-2-stats-analysis-warning.html
Thursday, September 18, 2008. The Canon 5D Mark 2- stats analysis [WARNING: May contain camera jargon]. So yes, the new Canon 5D Mark 2. Looks amazing. I am sure the visual quality surpasses anything out there. It is a great step in the right direction. The 5D Mark 2 has built off what the Nikon D90. Started (which came out a few weeks ago and was the first DSLR to do video). 5D Mark 2 strengths:. 1080P video (D90 only does 720) 1080 should be good enough to pull stills as long as it is not too compressed.

Afterburners and Camp Fires. Sunday, May 30, 2010. It took several weeks of traveling the plains, but I finally saw a tornado last week, 2 in fact! They were short-lived (the first had dissipated by the time I got my camera out! And far away, but they were real-deal tornadoes. This included a long-lived supercell in TX that we were able to collect a lot of good data on:. We also saw some great mamatus clouds outside of Roswell, NM, along with some dust being kicked up by strong surface winds. Tomorrow is...

Thursday, August 19, 2010. Buzzing by the south branch. August 12, 2010: with Alderman James Balcer. I made a portrait of Chicago 11th Ward Alderman James Balcer along the South Branch of the Chicago River in Bridgeport last week for the Chicago News Cooperative. Was on a boat ride the alderman took with reporter Mitch Dumke looking at wildlife and talking about how the area has changed. Because of a little mix up we missed the boat ride so a portrait was my next best option. Flowers along the river.

Friday, February 12, 2010. November 14, 2009; last football game of the year. I was pretty convinced football season was over for me last weekend but was happy when I got the call to get one more game in for the Northwest Herald. This was the same weekend of the state volleyball tournament so I shot the Class 4a football quarterfinal game between Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg. Here are three from the game. All photos © 2009 John Konstantaras / Northwest Herald. Links to this post. The 2 main positions to...

Somewhere between Bell's Palsy and death. Tuesday, May 05, 2009. 8220;It’s like mole sauce: You either love them or hate them.”.
