We are predicting another great year for photography. This is a Photokina year and this usually means it will be a year of new and interesting innovations and developments in cameras, lenses, software and printers. We’ll make sure we keep you up to date on the latest news of some of the more interesting products as they come along. Here at LuLa we have a lot of projects in the works. We are leaving for our 2014 Antarctica workshop in just three short weeks. We also are launching today a NEW workshop for this July in the northern polar regions (see below for more details). Look for other workshop announcements in the coming weeks. And, for you video subscribers we have some ambitious projects in that area too with what we feel will be some great informative and instructional videos. By the way we still have a few berths available for the second 2015 Antractica workshop.
This past summer I was able to travel for the first time to the Arctic Circle on a photographic workshop offered by some friends of mine. After having been to Antarctica on numerous occasions I was not sure the Arctic could match up. Well, I was wrong and the trip was one of the best I have been on. The landscapes were amazing and the Polar Bear encounters were incredible. Luminous-Landscape is happy to announce two Svalbard Workshops this July. This is a small boat trip with 11 participants per trip. Check it out HERE…
I stumbled upon a fun website and thought I’d share it with you. This site is known as Sightsmap and shows a world map of where the most Panoramio images were taken. You’ll understand more when you visit the site. What’s fun is to zoom into street level in a city like New York. Based on the map it looks like Europe has embraced Panoramio more than other areas of the world.
We kick off the New Year with a short article and link to a blog by Andrea Monti. Andrea’s story Street Photography And Italian Law . . . deals with the legal aspects of photographing people and things in public. Practical information for all of us.
