Photo books show many faces of history
Asbury Park Press
HENRY JACKSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It is easy to think about the American civil rights movement through the context of the few compelling personalities that history books tend to remember.
There are the heroes — Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks. The controversial icons — Malcolm X. And, of course, your clear-cut villains — former Alabama Gov. George Wallace springs to mind. But the modern civil rights movement was not a monolith. It was not limited to a handful of key players whose faces we can remember vividly. It was a multifaceted, multihued journey that swept across America.
It is this notion that provides the quiet beauty and power of "Mine Eyes Have Seen: Bearing Witness to the Struggle for Civil Rights." Through the compelling photography of Bob Adelman, a legendary civil rights photographer, we see a diverse struggle fought on many fronts — from the flexed bicep of boxer George Foreman and the cocked bat of home run king Hank Aaron to the stoic faces of civil rights marchers and images of King himself.
Augmented with essays from Charles Johnson, "Mine Eyes" strips the civil rights movement to its essence. We see the various people and personalities who fueled the movement removed from the summary of an encyclopedia or history book and put into context. Adelman's black and white photographs testify that, if anything, there were many faces to the civil rights movement. It is a powerful testament indeed.
It is a similar approach, though a decidedly more cynical and tawdry premise, that typifies "The Most Notorious Crimes in American History: Fifty Fascinating Cases From the Files.
"If there is a sweeping theme in "Notorious Crimes," it is that violence knows no unique face, nor one unique victim. There are iconic images of the criminals, murderous and deranged (Charles Manson at trial, for example) and comparably pedestrian (Kenneth Lay of Enron fame.)
And there are the victims, some obvious (the three civil rights workers beaten to death and shot by Klansmen in Mississippi in 1964) and some that, one suspects, went through history mostly unnoticed. (A picture of Lee Harvey Oswald's widow and daughter somberly doing laundry after his death.)
For those who believe that America's crime-obsessed tabloid culture is generational and a sign of decline, this book may offer a stiff rejoinder. The images of Lizzie Borden's ax or, for that matter, the snapshots of Chester Gillette (his slaying his lover in 1906 became the basis for Theodore Dreiser's classic "An American Tragedy") and Grace Brown (his lover) offer more than enough evidence that crime, and the sensationalism that most assuredly follows it, have no unique generation.
This is not to say that "Crimes" is without value. As history, imagery and a bit of guilty intrigue, there is plenty of material and it is presented neatly and informatively. And there is, after all, a reason culture fixates on crimes. They're interesting.

Digital Camera Buyers' Guide - Year of the SLR
Many predicted that 2007 would be the year of the digital SLR, and industry shipments confirm the huge growth in DSLR sales. In a time where home sales fell through the floor in the US and gas prices began to soar, digital SLR sales have grown dramatically. In the third quarter of this year digital camera sales increased 22% compared to the previous year, but industry breakdowns show DSLR sales almost doubled in the same period.
That means that this holiday season many of you will be looking for a new digital SLR camera to replace an aging point-and-shoot digital or an earlier DSLR. While there haven't been many new entry-level models in the last year, the $1000 "advanced amateur" models of last year are today's entry-level DSLR. Several manufacturers have also redefined "entry-level" SLR down to $400 and have very capable models selling for that price, including a lens.
Only a few new models have appeared in "Entry-level" this year. We will cover these in a look at entry-level choices. However, the last few months have seen a deluge of new "prosumer" digital SLRs aimed at the photo hobbyist, advanced amateur, and even some pro photographers on a budget. The important thing about the advanced amateur and prosumer DSLR markets is the influence those cameras will eventually have on entry-level models. For that reason, we will explore some of the most interesting features of the new prosumer models.
The digital SLR market has also seen the downward push of pro or near-pro models into the consumer space. A prime example of that is the Canon EOS 5D full-frame SLR. When it was introduced a couple of years ago it was hailed as a true bargain at around $3500. If you look around today, you will find this popular semi-pro model has dropped to a $2499 list price and you can actually find the 5D for around $2000 if you shop carefully. That is certainly close to the $1400 to $1800 prosumer price range, providing an additional option for photo hobbyists or pros looking for a good buy.
If you are shopping for a digital camera but you're not really a photo hobbyist, you might want to start with anandtech.com's overview of digital photography in Digital Photography from 20,000 Feet. In that introduction, they cover the terms and concepts used in the DSLR Buyers' Guide at anandtech.com/guides . If you're already a photo hobbyist then dive in.

Two Book Reviews
Digital Photography: Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks, 3rd Edition
by Rob Sheppard
Wiley Publishing, Inc.
http://www.wiley.com/
ISBN: 0470147660
221 pages, paper, full color
US: $19.99, CAN: $23.99, UK: £13.99
Like other excellent titles in Wiley’s Visual series, Rob Sheppard’s book on digital photography is well organized and makes extremely good use of photos to illustrate techniques described in the text. In some ways, the title of the book may do it a disservice: don’t think that you will only get 100 tips; there are tips and tricks lodged within the 100 labeled tips. Also, the book provides sound advice for taking better photos, be they digital or not.

Adobe Photoshop CS3: Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks

ISBN: 0470144769
244 pages, paper, full color
US: $19.99, CAN: $23.99, UK: £13.99
Photoshop CS3 can be a little daunting to many people new to digital image editing and photo manipulation. This book may be the answer for someone who doesn’t know where to start. It will also serve well for many more experienced users who are looking to expand on their editing repertoire or want to learn how to make use of new features introduced with this version of Photoshop.

Tips on photography
Today I read this very nice photo tip - useful with film, digital still and motion sequence photography - in The Tribune, Colorado
There are times when I desire to do photography but the outdoor weather and light are not cooperative, so I turn to indoor documentary or still life photography.
The common term for this type of photography is "tabletop."
I set up a table to avoid working from my knees. I arrange the elements I want in the pictures, then exploit my creative notions.
I still employ my basic compositional and lighting practices. I compose the elements for eyes traveling from left to right to the primary subject. I prefer positioning the light at a 45-degree angle to my subject. These, however, must not be construed as rules. They simply are my personal choices, recommendations.
I do encourage everyone to keep these types of pictures quite simple and close-up. Often, we cannot see the trees within the forest. Universality comes with simplicity. Simplicity makes the photographs easily read and understood.
However, our way and viewpoint of life today is quite complex. We've speeded up everything, sometimes losing control of ourselves.
So I suggest if you are wanting to do tabletop photography that you start out with few elements, simple composition and carefully placed light, either electronic or ambient.
The more intense the light you use, the smaller aperture and greater depth of field you can achieve. The closer the light, the more contrast it gives. The farther it is from your subject, the more diffused, less contrast you will see in your photograph.
Depth-of-field also is an important tool in this type of photography. The closer you are to the subject, the less the depth of field. Distance from your subject increases the depth-of-field.
After understanding the basics, you can integrate more elements into your photos. Multi-element photographs can be very rewarding and exciting for the viewers.
Paul F. Moloney's monthly series of Photo Tips offers ideas to improve the quality of your photographs.
Moloney has always "wondered" about life, marveled at and admired the beauty God has granted the world -- and "wandered," roamed, roved with his cameras.

Eye-Fi Card
Wireless gadgets, USB gadgets, and wireless USB gadgets generally don’t warrant a second thought, but the Eye-Fi Card is a new wireless product for casual photographers that automates the process of downloading pictures to your computer and uploading them to your photo sharing service. You shoot, it does the rest.
The Eye-Fi Card comes in SD (Secure Digital) format and is aimed at those people who don’t want to mess with cords or bother with using a card reader. In addition, the automation handles resizing the images for online use while also saving them to your computer as well.
Once you set up your Eye-Fi to work with your home wireless network and a service like Flickr (it takes about two minutes), the Eye-Fi will automatically detect and transfer JPEG files to your online account and/or your home computer whenever it’s powered on.
That’s pretty much it, but don’t forget to leave the camera on and turn off its auto-power saving function (the Eye-Fi draws its power from your camera battery). It’s that simple.
The great thing is that the software and hardware is smart enough to accommodate real-world glitches like powering down the camera during a transfer or losing your wireless signal. Both of these happened to me while testing the Eye-Fi and it simply picked up where it left off before the interruptions.
You will still have to download pictures the old-fashioned wired way if you have RAW format files or if you have movies shot with your camera on the card. Eye-Fi simply ignores these file formats. I could not test TIFFs.
The card conveniently comes with a card reader and the setup is handled by simply plugging the card and card reader into your computer’s USB slot. On my Mac, the Eye-Fi Manager application launched Firefox (you have to set Firefox or IE as your default browser, a hassle if you use something else like Safari or Camino) and started the process. Each step was well documented and you are told what is happening.

Factors to Consider Before You Buy a Digital Camera
Brand
There are only a few major brands that make quality Digital Cameras including Canon, Sony, Nikon, Casio, Olympus, Panasonic and Kodak. With that said, Canon dominates almost all popular categories of digital camera and they look like they will maintain their lead into the foreseeable future by constantly putting out new and better models. If you are looking for a quality dSLR you should also consider Nikon and if you are looking for a budget digital camera also consider Casio and Panasonic but for the money it will be tough to beat the value that Canon delivers.
Cost/Value
When buying a Compact or Point and Shoot Digital Camera you should decide how much resolution and optical zoom you really need because you will be paying for it. In general the best value is probably in the $200 price point, 7 Megapixel resolution range with a 3-4X optical zoom which is plenty of resolution and optical zoom for most people. You can even consider buying an older 6 Megapixel model that will probably work fine and save some money but you wont get style points with your friends for having the latest technology if you go in that direction.
Type/Subtype
You should think about how you will be using your digital camera. If you want to carry it in your pocket you need a Compact and if you are a serious photographer who doesn’t mind the extra size and cost then you will probably gravitate towards a dSLR. If you want the cheapest and easiest to use camera and it doesn't need to fit in your pocket look at the Point and Shoot cameras.
Design
Ever since the iPOD consumer electronics are now considered for their style as well as their function. There is variation in style between digital cameras but there is no style leader like the iPOD 'yet.' For digital cameras there are really two design options - minimalist designs that are very easy to operate but do not have a lot of manual controls and bells and whistles or control rich features that are more complicated to use.
Performance
You are buying a Digital Camera to take pictures so make sure you buy one that will take the kind of quality images that you need in your camera. For some people a cell phone takes acceptable quality pictures and any of the top digital cameras on our list will be fine. For serious photographers image quality is a very personal and complicated topic, like choosing a bottle of wine, and ultimately they need to see the images taken by the camera to decide because no reviewer will see it exactly the way they do. You should consider image quality in the context of the light levels you will be shooting in as well as the level of motion in your subject matter. Also, consider whether the speed of power-up is important and the speed of taking multiple pictures in sequence.
Newness
There is probably no category of consumer products outside of computers that moves as fast as digital cameras. Top brands must come out with new models every couple of months to stay competitive and the big winner is the consumer because the price of the cameras keeps coming down and the performance keeps getting better. Because of this, having the latest digital camera is a real fashion statement for some people and you should decide whether you want to get the latest and greatest product on the market or you want a specific level of performance at the cheapest price you can find.
Expert Opinion
There are very few categories that are reviewed as closely as Digital Cameras (maybe computers and cars). Even though models are constantly coming out, there are top experts at Cnet, dpreview, dcreviews, imaging resource, and steves digicam that all do a pretty good job. However, when it comes to all important image quality there is still no substitute for your own judgment.
Consumer Opinion
Because digital cameras are so popular and because great new models are constantly coming out to keep everyone excited, there are a lot of user reviews on all the popular digital camera models. You can find these reviews on shopping.com, amazon.com and shopping.yahoo.com for example.
Where to Buy
You can buy the popular digital cameras at a wide range of stores both online and offline. Buying a popular camera means that there will be a wide choice of stores and also a lot of price competition which is a good thing for you. Look for the total cost including tax and shipping and read store reviews before buying from anyone online.

The photoblog "Photo-Mania" has won the Deutsche Welle International Weblog Awards, The BOBs 2007
Belarusian Photoblog Wins Deutsche Welle Weblog Award
The best of the blogosphere was on display at the 2007 Best of the Blogs Awards -- The BOBs. A Belarusian photoblog earned the contest's top jury prize. (15.11.2007)
And the winner is: Xenia Awimova
Xenia Awimova, a 23-year-old aspiring photojournalist who lives and works in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, runs "Foto-Griffoneurei" ("Photo-Mania"). Her collections of photos chronicle her life and that of her home city.
"In Belarus there are not many independent newspapers or other platforms where people can express their opinions," Awimova said after being told of the award. "That is why a lot of young people write blogs."
The site features a collection of Awimova's black-and-white photos with only a brief description of the picture. It was the simplicity and the beauty of the site that gave it its appeal, jury members said.
"With few words, this excellent blog succeeds in portraying the daily life of people in Belarus," said Christian Gramsch, program director of DW-WORLD.DE and DW-RADIO.

Nokia officially launches N82
"A leading edge connected camera, navigation device and multimedia computer in one"
14 November 2007 7:20 GMT
Nokia has officially unveiled the Nokia N82, describing it as "the latest multimedia computer optimized for photography, navigation and internet connectivity".
Featuring A-GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, Xenon flash, Carl Zeiss optics and internet connectivity, Nokia says the new offering also incorporates all the "multimedia computer features" common to Nokia Nseries.
A-GPS and preinstalled Nokia Maps will be backed up with a free voice guided navigation trial, depending on region, and users can buy additional features, such as city guides and longer subscription to the navigation.
Map excerpts and routes can be sent to friends by MMS or users can save map screen shots to the gallery.
With a 5-megapixel camera, Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics, Nokia claims the N82 delivers remarkably vivid photographs, even in low-light conditions, often a complaint with cameraphones.
Fast camera activation (the N95's camera has been criticised as slow), autofocus with a dedicated autofocus assist lamp, fast reloading between shots and DVD-like quality video capture promise good things for the photo capablities.
Thanks to the 2GB microSD card in the standard Nokia N82 sales package, you can store up to 900 high-resolution photos or up to 84 minutes of high quality video on the device.
High speed Wi-Fi connectivity and one-click upload to online communities, claims to make sharing easy. When viewing a picture or video, simply one press of a button starts uploading it while users can carry on using the device for other purposes.
The N82 is capable of multimedia slideshows - complete with music and effects - on the high resolution display or on a compatible TV.
The Nokia N82 comes with Nokia's new 3D multimedia menu and includes the orientation sensor that rotates the user interface automatically between horizontal and portrait mode.
The new Nseries device supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including Nokia Music Store, N-Gage games (when available) and Nokia Maps.
Nokia says the N82 is available now in key markets with an estimated, pre-tax, unsubsidized sales price of around 450 euros. We'll bring you UK specific info when we have it.

Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000
Review by zdnet
The good: Carl Zeiss lens and Logitech's RightLight technology combine to deliver superior image quality, especially in low light; 2-megapixel sensor lets you shoot video up to 1,600x1,200 resolution; included QuickCam software is polished and easy to use; flexible stand works equally well on top of a monitor or a laptop or resting on a desk.
The bad: QuickCam software isn't optimized for Macs, so you're left without the audio and video optimization technology and, less importantly, the goofy video effects and filters.
The bottom line: The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 offers a winning combination of stellar image quality, easy-to-use software, and a sturdy, stable stand. It's our Webcam pick for desktop and laptop users alike.
