(photography) 20100106 still life

A little experimentation with a cockatoo feather  that I found while wandering around. All on a Canon 5D and 50mm f1.4, available light... I really should carry the 50mm macro around for just such an occasion :)

(photography) 20091228-02 Scanning and other photo related stuff

J - I've started searching out a useful flatbed scanner. I have a nice old Hasselblad 500CM gathering dust due to this digital world (and a lack of a darkroom), but love using it and I've figured its about time to start searching for a scanner for it.
So far I am thinking of a CanoScan CS8800F, which by the reviews I've read offers a good value for money versus quality balance. Now to price it...Any suggestions?
On other gear front, seems we're all destined to go down the multimedia road (read video). I've  been looking through Dan Chung's site which seems to be a good information stream. Now here's my dilemma much of my gear (Canon) is getting long in the tooth and need of replacing, so am thinking Nikon or Canon?
