Photographer, meet Lion
This photograph was snapped by Atif Saeed (Facebook, Flickr) at a safari zoo park near Lahore. He got out of his jeep to take the photo, but the sound of the lens’s whizzing caught the lion’s attention. Saeed figures the big cat got as close as 10 feet, before he was able to reach the safety of his jeep.
Once safely inside his vehicle, Saeed started to laugh about what had happened. But after some retrospection he came to realize just how close he came to death — and vowed to never do anything quite as reckless again. Read all about it here.

The Canon 5D MK IV
With the recent announcement and release of the Canon 5Ds and 5Dsr, we’ve been awaiting a 5D MK IV announcement. Still no real announcement, but we do have rumors and the MK IV looks like it’ll be a dandy. It’s also interesting to note that Canon seems to want 4k video cameras to record to CFast cards (instance the C300 MK II and the XC10 4k Camera). Much like the new URSA Mini from BlackMagic which is a 4.6k camera and also shoots to CFast. The time is coming when CFast makes Compact Flash cards obsolete. Here is some of what we know so far:
18mp Full Frame CMOS
ISO 100-204,800
61 AF Points (all cross-type)
12fps
Dual CFast
4K Video Capture
Listen to Howard and I talk about what we think about CFast cards (and their hefty price tag), the 18 megapixel capability, and the 4k video built in.
