After many years of shooting with a Canon 40D, upgrade time has arrived. With the Canon 5D Mark II, it’s all in the details — and the awesome video capability which I have not even touched yet.

A breakdown of thunderstorm days at Washington, D.C. during the current climate normal period of 1981-2010.
