We've been on the road and tenting it for what seems like a long time now and little access to the computer and editing/etc/etc but here's quick edit of an image from last evening around the incredible Sossusvlei area of Namibia.

You often hear the term "heaven on earth" - well, here's my take on Mars on earth, or some other impossible intergalactic, undiscovered landscape. The land around these parts seems impossible. Mother nature is, undoubtedly, an artist. #canadiancreatives #namibia

I am very pleased with all aspects of the service I’ve received at the Queen St. E. location in Toro...nto. I bought a Sony A6000 camera in January and Andrew helped me pick this camera. I was new to DSLRs and mirrorless cameras and he was beyond patient and helpful in answering all of my many questions (I was there for almost two hours), explaining the differences between the two types of cameras and what the pros and cons of the final two possibilities were. One of the lenses was on back order and Andrew kept me up to date via email and, when necessary, phone, to let me know when it would be in. It was then couriered to me at no charge when it arrived - since this was more convenient for me. Since then I’ve had additional contact with Andrew about other accessories and each time, his help has been invaluable. And now, five months later......I was recently away and started having issues with the power switch on my camera. Once again, Andrew was very quick to respond to my email and gave me very helpful advice. I ended up having to bring my camera in when I got back and dealt with Bo in the repairs department who, like Andrew, was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Given the high level of professionalism, knowledge and helpfulness of everyone I encountered, I will definitely continue to purchase equipment there! See More

I had never ordered camera gear online, but after finding a great deal on a lens on Vistek's website..., I decided to try. I emailed its web sales department to confirm that the lens was indeed still available and ready to ship. Frank, a Photo Sales Consultant from the store in Ottawa, responded less than an hour-and-a-half later letting me know that it was, and after a couple more emails, I proceeded to purchase the following morning. Much to my surprise and delight, the lens was delivered to my doorstep the very next day, perfectly packaged and exactly as described.

So, thank you Frank, and the rest of the team at your Vistek store in Ottawa (where the lens shipped from) for your great customer service and super-quick shipping! You've made my first transaction with Vistek and online purchasing of photography equipment as good as it could have gone, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again!
