50 megapixels? If you made it like the G9, it would be 500 megapixels!
I talk about 500 megapixel sensors, diffraction, and the new Kodak 50 megapixel sensor.
Con-artists join the war on photographers - Boing Boing(via)
A new scam for con artists is to act like a plainclothes policeman and tell you you aren't allowed to take any pictures and ask for your memory card. Nice.
Strobist: Canon G9: The New Polaroid?(via)
And here I thought I was a little oddball for wandering around with my G7 and my RB67... but apparently everybody else does that too.
What really matters?
Some thoughts based on a conversation I had with a friend quite a few months ago.
My opinions on Black and White developing
I've tried to research black and white developing as much as possible before starting in on it, ranging from the writings of Ansel Adams to modern notes from other folks. It turns out that there's a fairly small number of absolute, un-arguable facts, so I decided to just post my personal opinions.
Is Full-Frame the Coming Thing?(via)
The real reason why full-frame cameras are so popular? Prestige. At the expense of all other possible digital cameras (notably the DMD concept for a camera)
Fourth of July fireworks
I love fireworks. I always have. So, every Fourth of July, I'm always excited to go somewhere and take some pictures.
The T.O.P. Befriend-A-Forgotten-Camera Challenge(via)
The challenge? Find, buy, or borrow a funky old forgotten camera and run a roll of film through it sometime during the summer.
I've got at least one forgotten camera that would be just perfect for this.
Nikon announces the D700 and SB-900
News from around the web about the Nikon D700 full-frame digital SLR and the SB-900 flash.
My first trip to the Anza-Borrego Desert
My first trip into the Anza-Borrego Desert to take some pictures and experiment with some techniques
A smidgen of hope for some film(via)
The thing about the people who still shoot 8x10 and 20x24 polaroid film is that they are most likely to be able to put their mouth where their money is when they say they'll pay whatever it takes.
The new site is live!
One of the realizations that came with using a lot of the new Web 2.0 services is that if it's easy to deal with, I'll use it. My queue for articles and pictures to post here has been historically far longer than I actually get around to posting because it takes a fairly long sequence of events to actually post things. There's a lot of stuff that is left over from when I created the site in the space of a weekend so that I'd have something to put on my business card that I could hand out at my first gallery showing.
On Banning Photography from Restaurants(via)
When I was recently in Philly, I ate at Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant. And proceeded to "food porn" my way through the meal. It's fun, it's participatory, and I didn't use my flash or try to disturb anybody else. And now some other high-end chef wants to ban this practice...
Security kooks force photographer out of his hoby(via)
Apparently a bus-spotter gets called a pedophile and a terrorist by security personnel and so he gave his hobby up after 40 years.
TFP Documentary / Image Theft / Leica M8
Somebody's writing a documentary about the TFP modeling community, some more thoughts on image theft, and a Leica M8 is shown to be pretty awful for real use in Iraq.
