CanvasPeople is offering a free 8×10 canvas print for the month of March as a way to introduce more people to their service. Users can either choose the free 8×10 print or receive 50$ off a larger print. If you have ever wanted to try printing one of your favorite photos on canvas, this is a very good opportunity. The only cost is shipping and handling (which was $14.95 for my order shipped to California). Their ordering process is very simple and convenient. A quality canvas print will deliver a matte-paper like contrast and color, but since there’s no glass over the print to reduce contrast and saturation, the colors remain much more vibrant when viewed from a distance.

The ES80 also boasts 12-megapixel resolution and a 5x optical zoom to make taking great quality images effortlessly simple.

This post is somewhat off the topic of photography, but I always wanted a page on this site where I could post items and information as the sport of wingsuit flying progresses. Plus, a lot of people have emailed me inquiring as to how one learns to fly a wingsuit – so I thought I would try to assemble some information. Wingsuit flying is new sport where participants fly their bodies up in the sky with the assistance of a special jumpsuit called a wingsuit which provides winged surfaces between the arms and legs for lift. Due to the speed at which wingsuits fly, a parachute is necessary for a safe landing.
