I saw this on John Nack’s blog and he doesn’t know much about where it’s from, or who it’s by, so I’ve no idea. But it’s very nice!
Mind That Child!
Not a new phenomenon but certainly more and more in the collective consciousness, taking pictures (gasp!) of children (gasp!) even when they’re *your* children is deemed “inappropriate”.

HDRI lighting tutorial added
I just added a tutorial using Photoshop to create a template to make HDRIs from scratch, specifically for directed at Cheetah3D, but exactly the same applies for anything that can use HDRIs in a scene.

The ‘Nova’ Solar Camera Bag
As a dog on TV once said: “I want one!”
From the product page: “The Nova Solar Camera / Gear Bag gives the photographer an extra power source in the great outdoors. The large cavity bag can handle a digital SLR camera and 3 lenses with room for more accessories. The bag features adjustable dividers and foam to customize the interior to fit your specific camera gear needs.”
Canon 400D looks maybe interesting…
Engadget: Canon China spills beans on new DSLR. It looks sort of interesting, with its full-frame 10.1 megapixels and ultra-sonic dust removal. Nothing amazing, though, really. (And am I the only one not following these Canon EOS DSLR naming conventions?)
What looks more interesting, though, is the new EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens also announced, along with the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM, which as far as I can tell, a lot of people have been asking for (the IS part, of course…)
[UPDATE: So, it turns out it’s an APS-C sensor…]Flickr Pro
Finally, I decided to upgrade to a Flickr Pro account! You can see the pix at http://www.flickr.com/photos/domipix/
PHP5 upgrade
Stick with us while I work out what’s missingfiring after having upgraded to PHP5… most likely a plugin or two.
UPDATE: looks like the flickr plugins – soon sort that out…
