D90 night tests Technique whores: Lenses = Sigma 10-20mm and Nikkor 50mm 1.4 1) Turn AE-Lock function on to stop the crappy banding and exposure changes throughout the image 2) Use a tripod with fluid-head (although these shots were made without, fluid-heads = real McCoy) 3) Try this www.cs.cmu.edu 4) Roland Cadieux is probably the best d90 technician online at the moment www.vimeo.com

23 March, 2010 – Lightroom 3 Public Beta Two Released

11 May

Adobe has today released a second public beta of Lightroom 3. There’s a lot that’s been improved behind the scenes, and quite a few new features – and of course it’s still free – at least until it ships as a commercial release some time later this year. You do not need a serial number or to have owned a previous version of Lightroom.

My colleague Ian Lyons has just published an in-depth preview of Beta Two, and since Ian knows the product just about as well as anyone I know, this is the place to go for a look at what’s new in the download of Lightroom 3 Beta 2.

This site is about the art and craft of photography, and I rarely if ever use it as a platform for social or political commentary. But I can’t help but congratulate the U.S. on the passage of its historic national health care bill.

The U.S. now joins just about every other country in the developed world in having (at least the beginnings) of a national health care program for its citizens. This is a day of significance for the American people, and I for one am very pleased to finally see it come to pass.

Everyone’s Going Ga Ga Over The New Digital Polaroid Instant Camera

11 May

I've been a fan of instant photography ever since I was a little kid when an instant camera was simply called "the Polaroid."

That's because no one else manufactured similar cameras and Polaroid had the field all to themselves. But things soon changed.

Polaroid continued changing and improving their products, Kodak took a shot at the instant camera business, and Fuji came out with some cameras and film of their own, but the technology was still clumsy and limited.

But people still …
