  • Luis Argerich

    Luis Argerich shot that photo on a visit to a local nature reserve. He found those trees and the sun was high right in the middle, the day was hot and the naked trees were really warm to the touch. Some people would drop the picture as either uninteresting or requiring too much post-processing, but…

  • Olympus m4/3 roadmap

    After a few recent announcements, Olympus just disclosed its roadmap of the micro 4/3 format. It becomes quite clear that Olympus is concentrating a lot of efforts on this format, and that the perspective becomes more readable. Nota bene: At the same time, Olympus UK reduces the price of an E-PL1 kit with the M.Zuiko…

  • Hasselblad: Wait and see

    When you don’t have much to tell and the competition is launching products like Spring is blooming, what do you do? Like Hasselabld, you announce… that you will announce “exciting news” on the 22th of September, when the Photokina opens. This is definitely not viral marketing.

  • Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4

    Faithful to its age-old fame, Carl Zeiss shows us a new wide-angle lens aiming at the high-end of the market, at least because of the “widigantic” aperture of f/1.4. Available in Canon and Nikon mounts at 1385€, from the first quarter of 2011.

But, remember that GIMP is also available as a valuable option for the money-sensitive user of Windows, too. Use GIMP to Process Time Lapse Photography (from LifeHacker) GIMP 2.8: A preview of…

  • Olympus is long in 4/3

    At Olympus, the pressure is on micro 4/3 in this second half of 2010. Here come two tele-zooms and some photo cameras. There was a dire need of a respectable tele-zoom in the Olympus lens range. This is now corrected with nothing less than a 75-300 mm f/4,8-6,7 (equivalent to a 150-600mm). If this was…

  • ACR 6.2 and LR 3.2 love Sony

    Yes! Adobe loves Sony.

  • Dave Mead

    Sometimes, the work of a photographer attracts my attention for reasons even more personal than usually. This is exactly the case here with the pictures of Dave Mead on facial hair. I loved it. In May of 2009, photographer Dave Mead traveled to Anchorage, Alaska to photograph the contestants of the 2009 World Beard &…
