Reuters Retracts Icelandic Volcano Photo This is a fascinating story. This is the comment I made in the thread at PetaPixel: I think most of us can agree that a DSLR is doing some processing before the image gets written to the card and how a photographer sets things up will determine how little or [...]

My friends Mamen Saura, Gary Sharp and I have put together a photo magazine of our work using MagCloud, a new publishing service. The process has been fantastic and I’m sure we’ll not only continue this magazine but we’ll also be using MagCloud for other things as well. Here’s the magazine: Wabi Sabi, Issue 1. [...]

I’m experimenting with an application called PTLens which corrects pincushion/barrel distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and perspective. In this case, the 24mm end of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L causes distortion in the perspective on buildings left and right of center. Before: After: The image would need to be cropped to remove the black areas left [...]

I’ve got Lightroom 2 downloaded and installed and it’s working quite well. I read that a few found it slower than version 1.4 but I wasn’t sure what type of computers they were using. On my 2.5 Ghz MacBook Pro with 4 gigs of memory it seems plenty fast, much faster, in fact, than 1.4 [...]

Lightroom 2 released to suspecting public I didn’t play with the beta and will no doubt upgrade at some point but I think I’ll wait for 2.1. No rush, the current version works fine for me.
