Wheaton College is a private, evangelical Protestant liberal arts college in Wheaton, Illinois, a suburb 25 mi (40.2 km) west of Chicago in the United States. The college was founded in 1860 by staunch abolitionist and pastor Jonathan Blanchard.

Drawing 2,400 undergraduates from all 50 United States, 50 countries, and 55+ church denominations, Wheaton offers 40 majors in the arts and natural sciences.

Wheaton College is consistently ranked as one of the best "National Liberal Arts Colleges" according to the US News & World Report. Wheaton's influence is seen in fields ranging from government (former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert), to business (the CEO of John Deere), to the arts (film director Wes Craven), to education (Wake Forest University President Nathan O. Hatch), to global ministry (Rev. Billy Graham).

Wheaton College is listed in Loren Pope's acclaimed Colleges That Change Lives.

3.77 min. | 5.0 user rating		 This is my first test with the Canon 1D Mark IV. I took photos at a swim meet at Wheaton College in Wheaton Illinois this past weekend. I was really impressed with the Canon 1D Mark 4. The high ISO quality is really amazing and in my opinion this camera is a must for low light sports shooting. It will really make your pictures look great. I took the images at the end of the video at 8000 ISO. I found the new auto focus system to be really responsive and fast. Here is a link I would suggest Canon 1D Mark IV shooters read. It is about the custom functions on the 1D Mark 4. There is a lot of information and articles about this camera but this one link is a good one. Read the entire article and play with your settings and practice them. cpn.canon-europe.com Thanks for watching! Oh yeah, count in the movie how many times I say Canon 1D Mark 4 :). Oh well, nobody is perfect! The timelapse of Adobe Lightroom is supposed to be dark as I wanted my screen to pop a little, used a filter on my lens.
