  • Sony and 35mm video

    You thought that Sony was preparing an SLR photo camera with video recording features? (as previously announced for the successor of the Sony Alpha 700, expected later this year) Here is something else entirely: Sony just presented a video camera (not a photo camera) with a 35mm (or Full Frame) sensor. It will probably knock…

  • Micro-focus using an iPhone

    As a matter of fact, this tool is simply able to control a digital SLR camera. The big button on the side is a knob to set the focus and it is de-multiplied enough to warrant the name of micro-focus. Bu the most surprising or the most noticeable is that if you have an iPhone…

Exceptionally, I felt the urge to present two pictures at a time from the same photographer, maybe because they are linked by a same eye. the first was…

  • Five new features of CS5

    Adobe just announced the new features of Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. Don’t panic! These software programs will not be available before next month and for a price relatively normal at Adobe (read “relatively expensive”; See at the end of the article). What these new versions of Creative Suite (CS so CS5)…

  • Photoshop CS5, tomorrow

    Monday 12 April, Adobe will announce the features of its new Adobe Photoshop CS5. The most interesting will certainly be the “content-aware fill” that allows to fill empty parts of an image with adequate data without using the copy-paste or drawing tools. Many a photographer will be listening. But the actual product will only be…

  • Phillip Toledano

    I am not only a photographer but I do play some computer video games. Since most of my friends noticed that I tend to react a lot to the action on the screen, how could I not be sensitive to the Gamers series of Phillip Toledano? Phil made a portrait series interesting by adding an…
