I was just checking out the late MLB scores when I saw this video clip featuring Texas Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson where he talks about photography: MLB on Fox: Smile for C.J. (external link)

His laptop shows he's a Lightroom user too.

So I googled a bit and found his blog; http://leftylefty.com/​users/cj/blogs/1148961 (external link)

I've gotten a really positive response on my photos lately, so let me lay out the stuff I've been using since lots of people have questions...


The cameras I use to take photos, unless noted:

Canon 1D mk 4 - mostly for action stuff since it's got a great processor speed. I'm still learning how to use it completely, generally I'm taking too grainy of a photo. really it's strongest suit is the HD video, because it can film in 60fps- which looks cool in twixster as slo-mo.

Canon 5d mk2 - a lot of the landscapes are with this because of the higher megapixel count, and frankly I'm the most comfortable with this camera overall.

Canon G12 - Dominique bought this for me for Valentine's Day and I'm taking it all over, it's really like a mini-5D with the "on top" knob functions of older film cameras, for the money an amazing camera and the flip out screen is LEKKER...

Canon S95- the single best "slim in your pocket" camera on the planet. shoots raw files and has a lot of manual functions for authoring your own shots instead of "perma-auto" like most point and shoots.

Sounds like he knows what he is doing. Good on him! He's got one heck of a gear list as well. Would love to know what his favorite lenses are.

He mentioned the lenses he uses in this post: photo stuff (external link)

what kind of camera do you use?

something for all occasions really- for action I've got the Canon 1d MK4 and 5d MK2. for point and shoot or portable setups I've got an S95 and my gf just got me a G12 as a gift which is really an amazing setup for anyone that can't afford to get into the DSLR game just yet.

lenses?

I've literally got every good Canon L-series lens within reason

16-35 24-70, 24-105, 85 prime, 70-200, and even a tilt-shift wide angle 17mm.


the only non-canon lens I like is the zeiss 50mm prime, although I bought my buddy a 35mm prime that's awesome also. Both are full manual lenses and really cool for portraits.

Pretty easy to accomplish when one has an MLB multi-million dollar contract. :D
