Thanks for the comment, and glad you're enjoying it! The EU/PAL TV standard is actually 25fps, so VERY close to the cine look of 24p I was referring to. For the Canon DSLRs you can go into the menu / settings and change the "Video system" from NTSC to PAL, then under "Live View/Movie func. set." you can change your frame rate between either 24fps / 25fps depending upon the project. The best thing to do would be to experiment for yourself and see which look you prefer. Of course with the advent of the internet / digital, many of the old "TV Standards" are becoming less of a necessity, and more of a creative choice. Hope that helps! Cheers! - Brandon Hi Michael!

The other primary option would be to shoot at 30 Frames per Second, which gives more of a video / tv newscast look. These settings are all of course only based upon the NTSC standard (USA) and not PAL (EU). but what are the PAL settings? I live in Europe. Perhaps you have just as ueseful tip about this too. Love the info you are sharing. Thanx a million for that! Michael Kooren hI Brandon,

I thought I'd comment on your ISO 160/multiples thing - using a T2i (which only has the native 100,200 etc) got me previously wondering what I was missing without those intermediate steps 160/320 etc. Apparently, theyre not native at all (i know even the experts think they are). Those mulitple of 160 settings have an exposure pull applied, hence the apparent cleaner look. Eg. 320 is actually 400 with a third stop exposure pull. The downside is in the effect on dynamic range/clipping. Anyhoo, the 100,200,400 etc are the actual native ones. hope that clarifies this very important topic (um...yeah). Hi Brandon,

I especially agree, with this camera, you almost HAVE to embrace both. The video just feels so much more filmic and photographic. :) I've been following Chase for a bit on twitter, but hadn't heard of Chris... so a big thanks for the info! Always looking for more inspiration. Your work on flickr is pretty slick as well! Really enjoyed your processing on the set of Elena wearing Amanda DeLeon. Some gorgeous work! Again, thanks and cheers! - Brandon Kevin,

Limiting yourself to just one is actually a bit absurd. There are quite a few photographers these days who are doing both, and producing exceptional content. Chris Davis (http://cdphoto.com/blog/) and Chase Jarvis are two that I can think of right off the top of my head. You are definitely making the right decision to not limit your creativity. keep shooting, and great work by the way. If you have an interest in video AND photo, then absolutely do both.

I had actually been searching for a photo printing related blog for a while now. Great! Do you offer a subscription service? because I can't seem to locate the information anywhere.
