FotoNation Demonstrates "SmileCheck" Technology for Digital Cameras & Camera Phones
Real Time "Smile Shutter" Mode Guarantees Smiling Photos Every Time (Press Release)
FotoNation (fotonation.com), a leading provider of embedded imaging solutions for the imaging industry, announced today the availability of licensing for "SmileCheck™," a new technology to detect smiles in portrait photos taken by digital cameras and camera phones. The new technology is being debuted at the 2008 Photo Marketing Association (PMA) Convention, held this week from January 31-February 2, 2008 in Las Vegas.
SmileCheck is an extension module of FotoNation's currently shipping FaceTracker product line. By monitoring the video preview stream in the cameras during framing, SmileCheck first looks for faces in the scene of the photo. Once faces are detected, the software looks for facial features associated with smiles.
SmileCheck enables a new type of picture taking mode called "Smile Shutter" in digital cameras. Once the camera's trigger button is depressed, the shutter is not engaged until smiles are detected on all faces within the frame, ensuring photos with all smiles. Markets for this new technology include high volume portrait studios, school and event photographers, and identity photography, such as passports and badge ID cards for simplifying workflow.
"SmileCheck is part of FotoNation's growing embedded facial analysis solutions. By offering the industry better tools for understanding of the content of images, such as information about the people in photographs, we can enhance the overall picture taking experience," said Eran Steinberg, CEO of FotoNation, Inc.
A demonstration is available at PMA. For more information, see fotonation.com.

Deutsche Börse Photography Prize: India's forgotten daughters
In the first of a four-week series on the artists shortlisted for the prestigious Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2008, Drusilla Beyfus looks at the nominated work of the American artist Fazal Sheikh
See Fazal Sheikh's pictures here
London as a centre of creative photography takes a step forward with the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2008, presented by the Photographers' Gallery. Now in its third successive year, the venture acts like a magnet, drawing worldwide talent to the capital. Other related developments are also encouraging: the gallery is due to relocate to a new £15.5 million architect-designed, purpose-built address in Soho in 2010 and the Deutsche Börse Prize is scheduled to continue next year in a programme of off-site exhibitions.
Supported by The Daily Telegraph since Deutsche Börse became the sponsors, the award is characterised by a refreshingly unparochial, wide-ranging approach. This year's nominees are strong on concerned social observation. As Brett Rogers, the director of the gallery, puts it, 'Each of the photographers addresses subjects of critical importance and highlights the crucial role that photography plays in our understanding of the 21st century.' The pages of the Telegraph Magazine further enlarge our awareness by making available insights that might otherwise be limited to relatively few gallery-goers.
The prime mover in the story is Deutsche Börse, which is the world's largest exchange organisation, and is an example of money putting its faith in the medium of contemporary photography. It is well known for its collection by leading international photographers at its headquarters in Frankfurt. Reto Francioni, CEO of the Deutsche Börse Group, explains why the company clicks with photography: 'Artists shown in our buildings still manage to surprise us with their extraordinary perspectives on today's world. They make us perceive our surroundings in a different way... this helps us to remain open to new perspectives and in our business as well, to "think out of the box" and remain innovative.'

Get close up with macro photography
The term "macro photography" confuses many people. It conjures images of large, grandiose photos. In reality, macro shots are closeups of small objects. They're ideal for photographing flowers, insects or collectibles.
With macro photography, you see details that are not possible cropping and enlarging portions of regular pictures. Many point-and-shoot cameras tout macro abilities. You can try those cameras' macro settings but they don't provide true macro reproduction. For better results, use a digital SLR.
There are many ways to achieve macro photographs. A special macro lens is your best bet. These lenses have a 1:1 magnification ratio. That means the object is the same size on the digital camera's image sensor as in real life.
In rare cases, you'll see a lens with a magnification ratio like 2:1. That means the image appears twice as large on the sensor as in real life. But magnification ratios like 1:3 are more common. That means the item being photographed is three times larger in real life than the image on the sensor. Purists don't consider these true macro lenses.
Macro lenses
Macro lenses come in varying focal lengths. Shorter lenses are ideal for stationary objects. Longer lenses put more distance between you and your subject. They're more suitable for insects and wildlife that may be easily frightened.
When buying a macro lens, look at the minimum focusing distance. This will help you judge whether it meets your needs.
Other tools
Extension tubes also work well for macro shots. These place greater distance between the lens and the sensor. Several tubes can be used simultaneously.
However, you may lose auto controls and have difficulty with light metering. Extension tubes also require longer exposures.
Less common are bellows. They work much like adjustable extension tubes. But they're more cumbersome to use and are more expensive.
You'll also find reversing rings and macro couplers. These are more complicated tools for achieving macro shots.
Finally, you'll find diopter filters. These are essentially magnifying glasses that attach to the front of a lens. The higher the diopter rating, the greater the magnification. They are appealing due to their low price. You can use several at once.
Taking macro shots
When taking macro shots, avoid autofocus. Because you are close to your subject, only portions of it will be in sharp focus. Manual focus gives you greater control over what appears in focus.
For greater depth of field, use a longer exposure time and smaller aperture. This may not be possible with moving objects.
With longer exposure times, the images are more susceptible to blurring. That's due to your hands shaking. Optical image stabilization can counteract this. That may not be available in many macro lenses. If not, use a tripod. Even at fast shutter speeds, blurring from your hands shaking is more apparent.
Lighting also presents problems with macro shots. With the lens (and photographer) closer to the subject, you'll introduce shadows. Ambient light works best. Use a white card to bounce light onto the subject.
You may be tempted to use a flash. That can bleach out your subject. So, if you use a flash, use a diffuser to soften the light. You can also buy macro flash units. These soften the glare caused by standard flash units.
Macro photography presents its own set of challenges. However, when you want to get up close and personal with small objects, there's no better way.

Photography Permit Rules Monitored; Special Use Permits for National Park Access Possible
ATLANTA—How many photographers out there have ever photographed at a national park or anywhere that requires a government Special Use or Filming Permit?
With high price tags, unclear definitions, or narrow application windows, seeking a permit can be quite stressful for photographers, prompting several photographic associations to speak out.
The Department of the Interior proposed streamlining Special Use Permits as they apply to motion and still photography on National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife service lands. On one hand, the proposal to make the permit guidelines and fee schedules consistent with those of the Bureau of Land. Still, many photographic associations also expressed reservations with the high costs of fees and definitions provided in the proposed rule change.
For instance, photographers pay a location fee between $50 and $250 for use of the land and a varying cost recovery fee for application processing and operating costs associated with the photo session. With such fees, applying for a permit could greatly impact a photographer’s bottom line. Further, having to pay the cost recovery component—whether or not a permit is granted—is likely to cause photographers to generate losses.
Representing approximately 40,000 photographers across the United States, Professional Photographers of America’s (PPA) service center frequently receives telephone calls and e-mails regarding photography permit requirements. Because of this, PPA, Commercial Photographers International (CPI), the Society of Sport & Event Photographers (SEP), the Student Photographic Society (SPS) and Evidence Photographers International Council (EPIC) responded to two different entities: the Department of Interior and the New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOTFB).

Polaroid unveils ZINK (Zero-Ink) technology instant printer
Polaroid introduces new ZINK (Zero-Ink) technology instant printers. This new line of printers and cameras creates full-color digital photos without the use of ink cartridges or ribbons. The Digital Instant ZINK Photo Paper is a composite material that houses cyan, yellow and magenta dye crystals in a protective polymer overcoat. Before printing, the dye crystals are colorless, so the photo paper appears white. Heat activates and colorizes the dye crystals, so photos can be shared in less time than a traditional Polaroid photo...

4 Cameras Middling Only in Price
Little silver pocket cameras are small and cheap, they take movies, and they don’t turn you into a tourist cliché by dangling from your neck.
But those big black digital single-lens reflex cameras take much better photos, thanks to a much larger light sensor and vastly superior light sensitivity. They also offer gorgeous soft-focus backgrounds, zero start-up time, no shutter lag, impressive burst modes of several shots a second, twice the battery life and interchangeable lenses.
Last year was a big year for S.L.R.’s. New players like Sony and Panasonic entered the market. Prices dropped to new lows — you can get an excellent starter model for under $475. And as the year ended, four new semipro models had their debuts, defining a new midrange category ($1,300 to $1,800) almost overnight: the Nikon D300, Canon 40D, Sony A700 and Olympus E3. Thanks to the technology trickle-down effect, they offer many features of $5,000 professional S.L.R. models at a fraction of the price.
These cameras make you understand why people get hooked on photography. It starts with the feel of the huge, rugged body in your hands, a shape that’s been refined over the decades. It continues with the satisfying, instantaneous click of the shutter —not the chirpy audio recording from a pocket camera’s speaker, but the actual clack of the S.L.R.’s mirror snapping out of the way. (The Nikon D300’s snap is especially satisfying.)
At these prices, you also get burst-mode speeds of five or six shots a second. It’s not just for sports and wildlife; that speed is also great for portraits, because you can choose from multiple gradations of smile and expression.
The new Nikon, Olympus and Canon cameras offer something that’s been missing on S.L.R.’s until recently: live view. That’s where you compose the shot on the screen, just as you can on a pocket camera, rather than holding the camera to your eye.
Live view permits angles and heights that are impossible with the camera pressed to your face. Live view also helps with manual focusing, since you can magnify the preview on the screen.
And live view in most of the cameras lets you see changes in exposure, white balance and depth of field before you actually snap the shot.
Unfortunately, using live view entails compromises like delays in focusing and limited features; for example, the Canon can’t autofocus in live-view mode or use any of its scene modes (like Sports or Portrait).
All four of these cameras are supposed to shake off any dust that might have wandered onto the sensor during a lens change. (For Nikon, that’s a first.) That’s a relief to anyone who’s been getting shadow dots in the same place on every photo.
So here they are, in alphabetical order: the latest midrange S.L.R.’s in the $1,300 to $1,800 bracket — lens not included. A comparison table appears at nytimes.com/tech.(All the cameras accept the cheap and capacious Compact Flash cards; the Olympus also takes XD cards, and the Sony also takes Memory Stick Duo.)

Advertise your Photoblog or Flickr page
So you've created a photoblog or Flickr page and uploaded all your best pictures. Now what? You have great pictures, and your own site, but no one is coming to look at them. How do you get exposure, what can you do to get people to visit your photography website?
There are four websites that are important for all photographers and photography enthusiasts. Before continuing, it's absolutely important you register at PictPicture.com, photoblogs.org, coolphotoblogs.com, and vfxy.com.
After you're registered the next step is to peruse the list of hot photoblogs on photoblogs.org; you will definitely come across a few that blow you away; the listing includes some truly great photographers. Bookmark the photoblogs you enjoy, both on photoblogs.org and on your personal browser. (You'll be coming back to them often.) The photography community is a very friendly and personal one. As you visit other photoblogs you like, leave comments telling the photographer what you liked about a picture, or even what you didn't like. In turn many of the photoblog owners will do the same for your site.
Unlike the other sites PictPicture.com allows you to submit individual pictures with a link back your website. Once you post your picture, it's listed under Upcoming, where users can vote on it to move up to the front page. It's a great way to get traffic because each individual picture gives you a chance to get on the front page of the site.
Whatever you do, don't spam comments, or haplessly email photographers in the hopes of new visitors. As long as you become engaged in the community, the visitors will become engaged with your website. Good luck in becoming the next great photographer.

Latest Richard Prince Auction Record: $3.4 Million
Richard Prince reclaimed the record for most expensive photo sold at auction, when a print of his sold at Sotheby's in New York for $3,401,000.
The price narrowly exceeded the previous record of $3.34 million for an Andreas Gursky diptych sold at Sothey's in London in February 2007.
The record-breaking Prince image is from his untitled cowboy series – in which Prince photographed sections of Marlboro cigarette ads and enlarged the photos to an enormous size. The photo sold at Sotheby's measures 100 by 66 inches and was one of an edition of two plus one artist's proof. It is dated 2001-02.
The record-setting bid came during a contemporary art auction on Nov. 14, 2007. The record was overshadowed at the time by other works at the auction that commanded very high prices. A Jeff Koons sculpture, "Hanging Heart," went for $23,561,000, setting a record for a living artist at auction as well as the auction record for sculpture.
Prince's record was reported in the Jan. 3 edition of the E-Photo Newsletter, which chronicles photography collecting.
Prince's works have been a source of controversy, with some saying that his technique uses other photographers' work without giving them due credit. But the debate has done nothing to slow the popularity of Prince's work, judging by the increasing prices and press coverage of a current exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
In November 2005, a different untitled cowboy photo by Prince sold for $1,248,000 at Christie's in New York, which was an auction record for photography at the time. Since then, images by Edward Steichen and Gursky and have set auction records for photographs.

Canon 450D Rumors
It seems Canon may announce the successor to the Canon 400D soon. According to all the rumors; thanks to Mr Robert Westin. He states that it may be the 24th January 2008 to be more precise.
The new model? Who knows? Most likely it will be the Canon 450D with a 12 mega pixel CMOS sensor and of course a 3 inch LCD screen. It seems everyone is moving towards the larger size these days.
The other rumor is the replacement for the Canon 5D and according to Tech.sina.com, it mentions the Canon 70D and even a 320D? on the UPC.
