Covington Innovations has a step-by-step guide to removing haze from Aerial photographs. Another instance of doctored photos appearing in the mainstream press in this case the Spanish version of the Miami Herald where the printed picture was manipulated to show two Cuban police officers apparently ignoring prostitutes gesturing to a tourist. Floppy right angled viewfinder on your Nikon DR-4, DR-4, DR-5 and DR-6? Earthbound Light has a fix. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments |
Mon Jul 31 16:19:00 BST 2006 Filed under: Inspiration, Readers Photo Blogs  Jimmie contacted us regarding the shout out for readers blogs. His resides at http://www.cornershots.com/about and is subtitled Urban Imagery from NYC. .Jimmie says that the blog has been going for two years. Beggining his photographic exploration with a Canon S45 but has worked his way up to a 5D.
There are 318 photos available on the site. The current opening shot is dramatic with the dusk lighting adding great atmosphere to the converging angles. But it was the wonderful genBundle (pictured) that really scored a hit for me. Follow that up with some stylish panoramas and several creative uses of artifical light and you have a superb showcase for Jimmie's talents. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments |

Sat Jul 29 20:25:00 BST 2006  Photosynth from Microsoft Live Labs sounds amazing. They think so too by stating, boldly, that it "will change the way you think about digital photos forever". Photosynth takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and displays them in a reconstructed 3-Dimensional space. Using this data you can walk or fly through a scene, zoom in and out, see where different photos were taken in relation to one another and find similar photos to the one you are viewing. The photos are analysed to highlight hundreds of individual distinctive features - this could be a door frame corner or a a door handle. These features are linked and matched, with multiple images of the same item its 3D position can be calculated. The zooming feature sounds impressive too - you can, well, zoom right in! It sounds mightily impressive and the potential they talk about - with photos having unique IDs and links to tags, urls and such like equally so. But it is not yet available and no release date has been given. In the meantime have a look at the video and keep an eye on the teams blog.  Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments |
Sat Jul 29 16:45:00 BST 2006 Filed under: News  Seems a little harsh... the Charlotte Observer has sacked a staff photographer for altering the colour of an image to, as he states, "to restore the actual color of the sky". He said the color was lost when he underexposed the photo to offset the glare of the sun.
The paper has issued a statement "Accuracy is among our most sacred journalistic values. That goes for the photographs, as well as the words, that we publish.So, it is with much regret that I inform you that the color in a photograph in Thursday's editions was inappropriately altered before it was published. The photo, taken by Observer photographer Patrick Schneider, appeared on the front of the Local & State section. It depicted a Charlotte firefighter on a ladder, silhouetted by the light of the early morning sun." In the original photo, the sky in the photo was brownish-gray. Enhanced with photo-editing software, the sky became a deep red and the sun took on a more distinct halo. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments |
Sat Jul 29 16:12:00 BST 2006 Filed under: Inspiration, Readers Photo Blogs Equipment is a Canon Powershot A95 with a 0.7 wide angle lens and a 1.75 teleconverter. The snowflake is good, as is the flower at night pic but - and I seem to be in an abstract-liking phase at the moment my favourite image is this one of a sports floor. Many of Webbie's comments made me laugh... |

Selecting one of the submissions at random brings us to the work of Bryan William Jones and his JonesBlog. Bryan writes that his blog has been going in one form or another since 2001, but he began the transformation to a photographically intensive blog back in 2004 after his doctoral dissertation was finished and he could afford a digital SLR to replace his 35mm film camera "that I had to sell for undergraduate tuition money". The front page shows a couple of rather good insect macro shots, some runners and a couple of birds of prey but it is the dramatic lines of an underground station that caught my eye. No details of equipment but you have to click on the read more links to display further details of the subject and more images. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments |
