Canon Ambassador Ziv Koren Takes a New Angle on the Holy Fire

By Canon Ambassador Ziv Koren on Canon Pro Network:

When I first got the Canon [shoplink 250]EF 8-15mm[/shoplink]zoom lens I thought it was an interesting gimmicky ‘toy’ that could make an amazing image in the right location, but it took me about a year to take it out for the first time for something that I thought would be perfect for this super, ultra-crazy wide angle lens.

[…]

Due to the interesting round shape of the church and the tomb in the middle I thought that this ceremony would be just right for the 8-15mm lens, which could give me a very different perspective than anything else I’d ever seen from this location. Even the 15mm lens I used in the past couldn’t give me the full interior of the church. Working with such a wide angle doesn’t always work but when it does, it blows you away!

Photographer Paolo De Faveri On His Journey From Salesman to European Landscape Master

From Canon Pro Network:

De Faveri was born in Turin and now lives in the nearby village of Scalenghe, within a stone’s throw of some of Europe’s most breathtaking scenery. For many years he worked as a salesman for a technical publishing company, but in 2006 decided, like many amateurs, to build a website for his burgeoning hobby of landscape photography. He very soon started to receive interest from publishers. The company he worked for was sold in late 2007, and taking the offer of redundancy pay he threw himself into photography.
