Digital Photography Review has some samples from a beta of Sigma’s upcoming and LONG-awaited large-sensor compact DP1. From what I can tell having a very quick look at these is that the detail as you’d expect with a Foveon sensor, and the dynamic range looks pretty too. Colour aberrations look pretty controlled in that lens too, […]
Excellent lighting site Strobist has another article about the business of photography. It’s not so much the article itself that’s interesting in this case, but the growth of this as a topic. Should be worth watching, given the inventiveness seen on Strobist when it comes to lighting!
Finally, I decided to upgrade to a Flickr Pro account! You can see the pix at http://www.flickr.com/photos/domipix/
Some bright folk, mainly from Stanford University (one from Cornell), have demonstrated a technique to produce photographic images without the use of a camera. The technique exploits Helmholtz reciprocity to allow an image to be recreated from the point of view of the projector that’s lighting the scene, even though there’s no camera at that […]
Following on from Yahoo!’s buyout of Flickr’s creator Ludicorp, Snapfish, the online photo sharing, storage and printing site has agreed to be acquired by HP. Snapfish is definitely a foward-thinking company because if you’re already a member, you will “receive the same high level of quality and service you’ve come to expect since Snapfish’s UK […]

It seems from Caterina’s own account on the Flickr Blog that the main change will be the cashflow. Yahoo Photos (haven’t tried to use that for a while…) will get some Flickr features. Here’s hoping that Flickr […]
Photohead, which for some reason I’ve never noticed, have got The SimCam, in which you can play with the your exposure on a virtual camera. The (side) effects you can see include camera shake, depth of field, grain. Pity they didn’t include a page with all three of shutter speed, aperture and ISO. That’s a […]
Griffin Exotics have used one of my turtle images for their exotic veterinary hospital website. The image is on a random rotation, so you might have to reload a few times! The piece is also featured on istockphoto.com, from where Griffin licensed the image, in a Design Spotlight.
If you want to get right down to the nitty gritty (as a great man once said) regarding digital camera technology, you really need to check out Canon’s Technology Library. This microsite (although I hesitate to use the term “micro”) has a whole stack of information on everything Canon from DIGIC, to CMOS versus CCD, […]
The Gigapxl gallery has some amazing shots, and not only because of the incredible resolution. Pointed out by Tom.
