The Day In Photos

An Arrow T Ranch calf stands under a bush as smoke rises. More than 1,400 wildfires continue to burn across about 550 square miles of central and northern California south of Isabella Lake. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency in Kern County because of the Piute fire, which is threatening several communities in the mountains east of Bakersfield. Firefighters have completed fire containment lines around 11 percent of the 11,500-acre fire in the Sequoia National Forest.

50 best magazines

What makes a magazine great? The writing. The ideas. The photography. The design. Sure. But more importantly, a magazine's worth depends on how it catches readers' glances, and then their hearts. Here, Tempo presents its second annual 50 Best Magazines list. Our selections reflect the periodicals that we pay good money to buy, that we pile on our nightstands, that we devour on trains, that we consider to be the best at what they set out to do. There are more than 17,500 magazines published in this country, so choosing the 50 best was daunting.

Chicago Tribune argued, they concurred, they scoffed. And they welcome you to continue the debate.

New Nikon SB-900 Speedlight

Nikon's Newest Flagship Speedlight Offers a Powerful Addition to the Versatile Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS).

Dan Havlik at Photo District News wrote about the Nikon SB-900 Speedlight:

Nikon announced the next evolution in its iTTL Creative Lighting flash system this morning – the new SB-900 AF Speedlight. Featuring a 17-200mm zoom range for flash coverage (compared to the SB-800's 24-105mm range); auto switching between both FX and DX-formatted Nikon cameras; and utilizing a new easy scroll wheel to change settings on the fly, the SB-900 ($230) is Nikon's simplest yet most powerful Speedlight yet. This Speedlight is designed to live up to its name, offering 25 percent faster recycling times then the SB-800; and three light distribution patterns – center weighted, standard, and even – which makes the SB-900 adaptable to a range of lighting conditions, designed to help you increase your creativity as a photographer. Speaking of creativity, the SB-900 ships with gels which slide into an attached holder on the flash and trigger a sensor to automatically adjust the white balance. The SB-900 also has a built-in wide-angle diffuser and is powered by four AA batteries.

More information on the new flash is included in Nikon's Press Release

Pentax K20D

The Pentax K20D is a fully-featured semi-pro DSLR available for the cost of some of the latest, upper-entry-level digital cameras. It adds a handful of features and tweaks to the highly-respected K10D and attempts to address some of its shortcomings whilst also incorporating a colossal 14.6 million photosites on a sensor co-developed with Samsung.

Is this enough, given the quality of some of the competitors?
