Finding the (white) Balance

Most quality digital SLR's enable you to set a custom white balance for a particular lighting situation. Typically this involves shooting a properly exposed frame of a white card and there's also been advances in calibration filters such as ExpoImaging's Expodisc that mean white balancing is simpler than ever.

Using a custom white balance feature, you can set that image as a target point and your whites will be crisp and accurate. Even if there’s nothing white in the photo you’re taking, you will get true, rich colors by setting your color balance for your specific shooting conditions.

Since every camera has unique settings, it's always wise to check the manual before you shoot.

There's a detailed feature article right here on iStock

Digital Journalism, News and Documentary Photography Links

Use these links as a primary resource for digital photojournalism and documentary photography, which lead to other sources of quality material. The online news sites in particular are valuable learning tools to study the visual construction of news photos in a variety of subjects: politics, conflicts, sports, fashion, entertainment, and features. In reading news captions, the "Who, What, When, Where, and Why", you'll better understand the importance of gathering information which is paramount to the description of news photographs. Some links give insight to how professional digital journalists work, technical information and reviews about their tools and discussions about current industry issues and concerns. Other sites are for the simple joy of discovering digital journalism, the photographers and their images.

Appeals Court Confirms Photographer's Rights in Case

After a photo license expired, company continued to use images

The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) announced that a recent Federal Appeals Court decision was favorable to photographers everywhere. The lawsuit, known as Jarvis v. K2 Inc., was filed by ASMP member Chase Jarvis and his attorneys, with pretrial assistance from ASMP. ASMP also filed an amicus curiae brief for the appeal, raising points of law that could not be argued during the trial. In its decision, the court held that an advertiser who licenses photos and uses them to create a collage must continue to honor all license restrictions that came with the original photos. In particular, if the license specified a limited time to use the images, the collage also cannot be used beyond that time.

Major Low-light Digital Photography Breakthrough Inbound from Korea

Researchers don't want you to worry about bright flashes in dimly-lit scenes anymore
Our eyes will possibly get some relief from the blinding flash of cameras in low-light scenarios. South Korea's Electronic Technology Institute announced the development of a new image sensor chip that allows digital cameras to capture vibrant images without a flash in dark spaces.

The digital camera equipped with the chip will be able to take high-resolution photos or video-recordings at 1 lux. The camera will be able to snap pictures in places such as theaters, underground traffic tunnels, or dark-lit bars and clubs. The chip promises clear pictures with light as bright as the lighting from a candle 1 meter away in a dark room and is said to be 2,000 times more light sensitive than other sensor types. The will initially be used for camera phones, CCTV cameras and vehicle rear-view cameras.

Institute officials stated that state-run Korea Electronics Technology Institute has developed the single carrier modulation photo detector (SMPD) chip using nanotechnology.The institute already spent roughly 11 billion won ($10.5 million USD) on the development of the SMPD chip over the past four years. The expected earnings from the chip exportation is about 2 trillion won ($2.2 billion USD) annually
No news has been released yet about the production details of the chip, nor has there been any pricing estimates on the chip.

The Photo Imaging Council (PIC), is supporting a new Industry initiative

Sign of the Times
A Digital Memories Supplement will be published by MediaPlanet in The Times on the 22nd of May.
The 12 page supplement is printed with The Times, in compact form, and contains highly digital media specific and unbiased editorial on topics such as Cameras, Multimedia, Accessories, print products, alternative storage and lots of other hot topics.
The publication is entirely dedicated to the issue of developments and products in the digital photographic and camcorder fields. This is a comprehensive guide providing The Times readership with a valuable insight into the spectrum of activity from research and development to the latest product releases, and accessories.
The journalist producing the editorial for the supplement is Sean Hargrave, who used to be the Deputy Editor of Photo Answers as well as Camcorder User and has been published widely in the photography and video press, including Practical Photography, Amateur Photographer and What Video and What Camcorder. He has also written several photography books, and was the Innovations editor at the Sunday Times.
Gerry Dingley, PIC Chairman, has written a foreword for the supplement. All PIC members will be sent a copy once it is published. PIC’s policy has always been to remain generic in its product and corporate support and it approves wholeheartedly of the newspaper’s unbiased approach to the subject of consumer digital imaging promotion.
PIC Company Secretary, Pam Hyde, observes, “Ours is a £4 billion per annum industry. The MediaPlanet supplement distributed in The Times will help to promote every aspect of the industry, from manufacturers through to distributors and retailers.” PIC’s work with Mediaplanet aims to complement its co-operation with The Independent and the Mirror.

Sony Cybershot DSC-T100

Where to buy:
ePhotoCraft: $394.99
Abe's Of Maine: $354.95
Vanns.com: $399.98
Camera Addict: $343.00
Profeel: $364.95
“I would’ve given this camera an Editor’s Choice designation except for one problem…”.”

Highs:8.2MP ultra-thin digicam with 5x zoom; optical image stabilization; 3-inch LCD
Lows:HD out requires optional accessories

Sony revolutionized the world of ultra-thin digicams with its very popular T series. Although Casio, Nikon, Kodak, Pentax and others try to match them, they always seem to fall a bit short. I’ve always loved the sliding front door that powers-up the camera. And although this design has been around for a few years, it’s still as fresh as ever. The DSC-T100 is the latest edition and it has a number of new features we wanted to try out including higher 8.2MP resolution, a more powerful zoom, a better processor and Face Detection--the new setting almost all camera makers are touting in 2007. Now does all this add up to something special or just more of the same? Let’s find out…

Shutterfly Offers In-Store Pickup at Target

While home delivery is convenient, it can also be a constraint when timeliness matters. Shutterfly's deal with Target will allow consumers to hold photos in under an hour.


Online photo service Shutterfly announced Monday that it would make the leap to retail stores via a partnership with Target stores. Using either company’s Web site, users will be able to upload, store and share photos just as they normally would with Shutterfly, but prints will be available for pickup at Target stores in as little as one hour.
The move will place Shutterfly in direct competition with pharmacies like CVS and Rite Aid, which have long leveraged their physical locations to offer in-store pickup of online orders. All three companies offer standard 4x6 prints for what seems to be the going rate of 19 cents.
"This partnership provides a first-of-its-kind retail channel for Shutterfly with one of the nation's leading consumer brands, and we are delighted to have found in Target the ideal business partner to give consumers the quality experience they expect from Shutterfly," said president and chief executive officer of Shutterfly, Jeffrey Housenbold, in a statement.
Oddly enough, the photo section of Target’s Web site still prompts users to log in with the soon-to-be-defunct Yahoo Photo. We can only speculate that Target made arrangements with Shutterfly following the announcement of Yahoo Photo’s closing on Friday, but didn’t quite have time to update their site.
