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

Why Shooting RAW files

Camera manufacturers continue to boost the megapixel output of their digital SLRs, enabling them to capture more information and more detail with every new model release. It only makes sense then that you would want to preserve all of that information and detail, right? If you always shoot JPEG files instead of RAW then you may not be realizing your camera’s true potential.
JPEG images emerge from a camera considerably smaller in file size than RAW captures. For many uses JPEGs are convenient and offer fine quality. RAW files are larger and must be processed in software before they can be utilized and shared. So why shoot RAW and have to deal with an extra step when the JPEGs may look just fine? There are a few good reasons that professionals and serious amateurs choose RAW.
Think of your camera as performing two distinctly different functions at exposure. In one step the camera captures an image and in the next step it processes the image into a usable format. If your camera is set to RAW then it performs only the first operation and stores the RAW capture data. If it is set to JPEG then the camera also converts the RAW data into JPEG (a compressed but easier to share) format using camera settings you’ve preselected (white balance, image size, amount of JPEG compression).
What if one of your settings was less than ideal? Say your white balance was set incorrectly, to daylight white balance when you were shooting indoors. The image will be very yellow and need correction. Yes, if the image is an already-processed JPEG it can be corrected in software but that may take some serious fiddling. It also will not be as accurate as if the camera settings were correct in the first place. There will most likely be odd bits of color showing up in highlights and shadows, still.
Now imagine the same photograph had been shot with the camera set to RAW capture. Since the file was not processed in the camera we simply move the file into our processing software, select the correct white balance and it will emerge with accurate color. One simple step has created an image with accurate color and little effort.

Okay, it’s extreme time. Click over to http://reviews.photographyreview.com/blog/why-shoot-raw/ and read the full article by Jim Talkington / prophotolife.com

HVL-F58AM Flash by Sony

Sony is expanding its a (alpha) system of accessories to include the new HVL-F58AM flash unit with exceptional features for versatile and flexible external lighting control.

Quick Shift Bounce and Expanded Versatility
This new flash features a new and innovative Quick Shift Bounce system. It offers more creative ways to achieve lighting, flash and bounce angles you may not have been able to experience before.

The flash head can pivot 90 degrees left and right on a horizontal axis in addition to the conventional up and down vertical adjustment. With this system, the camera and flash unit can keep the same orientation regardless of portrait or landscape shooting. This gives a higher degree of flexibility when arranging the direction of light.

For example, you can take full advantage of the flash unit’s built-in bounce card even during portrait shots since the flash head can maintain the same orientation as it would in the landscape position.

Enhanced Operability and Ease-of-Use
A powerful performer, the HVL-F58AM flash unit features a maximum guide number of 58 at 105mm and ISO 100. It recycles (or recharges) in as little as five seconds, approximately 55% faster than the predecessor HVL-F56AM model, so you are ready to capture the next shot. And because it features a quiet recycle charge, there’s no whine to distract you from your subject.

It also has a large, easy-to-read LCD screen that is about 13% larger than its predecessor’s. Its intuitive control layout makes it easy to control flash functions and configure the settings based on your shooting needs.

The HVL-F58AM flash unit will ship in September for about $500 at sonystyle.com, Sony Style retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), military base exchanges, and authorized dealers nationwide. Pre-orders begin online on Jun. 20 at www.sonystyle.com.

New Ricoh GX200 Announced

Ricoh GX200 Press ReleaseThis week, Ricoh announced their newest high-end compact digital camera, the 12-megapixel GX200.

Apparently, they’ve got a lot of things going for them in the camera usability department. The GR and GX-series cameras get solid reviews on the web, and they seem to have a strong following of satisfied customers.

Ethiopia bans nude photo exhibit

Ethiopia has imposed a ban on what had been billed as the Horn of Africa nation's first exhibition of nude photography, the photographer behind the show said on Wednesday. Biniam Mengesha, 28, told AFP he had been planning to show 45 photos at the unprecedented exhibition - titled "Black Diamonds" - in the capital Addis Ababa from Friday through July 4.
"Authorities from the Culture Ministry asked me to submit my photos before the exhibition was inaugurated. Afterwards they said: 'This isn't art, it's pornography,'" Biniam said.

Carl Zeiss announces new 18mm super wide angle lens for SLR cameras

Carl Zeiss expands its range of SLR lenses with the Distagon T* 3.5/18 super wide angle lens. The lens is designed with a floating lens element in the rear lens assembly, which results in impressive image quality from infinity to the closest focus range. The new lens uses the Zeiss 'color matching technology', for homogeneous color rendition across all focal lengths The lens for F-mount cameras is scheduled for delivery beginning July. For K-mount cameras the lens will be available within Q3/2008. The list price is 960,00 Euro...

PRESS SUMMARY
Distagon T* 3.5/18: the super wide angle lens for dramatic perspectivesCarl Zeiss expands its range of SLR lenses with the addition of the Distagon T* 3.5/18 super wide angle lens. With an impressive field of view of 99°, this new, rectilinear lens provides dramatic perspectives for architectural, landscape and close-range photography for photographers utilizing full-frame DSLRs or film-based cameras. The Distagon T* 3.5/18 is a derivative of the ZEISS designs for the Contax RTS series of cameras, but utilizing all modern materials and eco-friendly glass materials. The Distagon T* 3.5/18 is designed with a floating lens element in the rear lens assembly, which results in impressive image quality from infinity to the closest focus range. Utilizing the superior ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating and critically designed interior elements, the lens is remarkably free from stray light artifacts and internal reflections. Images are brilliantly rendered, with extremely crisp resolution right to the edges – even at wide-open apertures under the most difficult lighting conditions. Like all Carl Zeiss SLR lenses, the Distagon T* 3.5/18 uses the ZEISS ‘color matching technology', which provides homogeneous color rendition across all focal lengths in the product range. The front filter diameter of 82 mm allows for use of standard screw-in filters when combined with the included lens shade. In addition to the outstanding optical qualities, the special hallmarks of all ZEISS lenses are designed into the Distagon T* 3.5/18. This includes an all-metal mount for secure mounting to the camera, extreme robustness for professional applications in a wide range of conditions and precision workmanship, which result in a ‘silky' smooth focus rotation. The Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZF for F-mount cameras is scheduled for delivery beginning July 2008 through authorized Carl Zeiss photo dealers. The Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZK for K-mount cameras will be available within Q3/2008. The suggested list price is 960,00 Euro (without VAT) and includes the standard lens shade.

Kodak sets $1 bln stock buyback

Kodak plans to snap up $1B of its own stock - stock jumps
Eastman Kodak Co said on Tuesday it would buy back up to $1 billion of its stock, driving the photography company's share price up nearly 17 percent from historical lows.

While consumers might prefer to spend their tax rebates on sale items at Wal-Mart, Eastman Kodak is using its tax refund to help buy its discounted stock.
The photography company said Tuesday it is planning to buy $1 billion of its stock largely using a $581 million tax refund resulting from paying too much tax from 1993 through 1998. That $1 billion buys more than it used to since Kodak stock is down by two-thirds over the past eight months. Tuesday, the shares rose 14% to $14.03.
Other companies, though, don't seem to be sharing the Kodak (EK) buyback moment even while the broad market has been dropping.
While the number of announced buybacks is the same as it was this time last year, the dollar value is down 40% from year-ago levels, Dealogic says.
Rather than taking advantage of lower stock prices, companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 cut spending on stock buybacks by 3.2% in the first quarter to $113.9 billion, the first decline since the third quarter of 2003, S&P says. "Companies are very defensive," says Richard Peterson at S&P.

Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Printer

For years, the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 has been an overwhelming favorite for a tremendous range of photographers. Producing vibrant color photos and sophisticated neutral black-and-whites, this 13" printer provides considerable punch in its relatively small size. Needless to say, it's a tough act to follow. The newly arrived R2880 delivers both new technology and the features that have made its predecessor popular among so many photographers.
With recently developed Vivid Magenta ink, the R2880 is capable of producing blues, purples and reds previously unachievable. To make sure you get the most out of its extended range, the R2880 utilizes Epson's sophisticated Radiance technology. Radiance produces smoother color transitions than older technology, making prints more realistic than ever before. Along with reduced grain and smooth gradation, Radiance gives you prints whose colors appear consistent whether viewed in a sunlit home or under a gallery's tungsten lamps. The R2880 also improves reliability over its predecessor, adding automatic nozzle checks and a mist collection system to keep ink flow smooth and accurate.
Like the R2400 before it, the R2880 gives precision output on exhibition quality materials (up to 13" wide with support for rolls) that is up to the standards of full-scale professional print labs and enthusiasts alike.

Motorola and Kodak Redefine the Mobile Imaging Experience with MOTOZINE™ ZN5

Motorola (NYSE: MOT), a leader in wireless communications, and Kodak (NYSE: EK), the world’s foremost imaging innovator, today announced MOTOZINE™ ZN5, the first product combining world-class innovation from both companies. The MOTOZINE ZN5 combines a high-quality phone and camera experience to help content-craving consumers seize inspiration and share the content they create and love with the world.
Unveiled today in Beijing at a gallery-inspired event, ZINE ZN5 delivers an easy and immersive mobile imaging experience. ZN5 is the first mobile phone to combine Motorola’s ModeShift Technology and KODAK Imaging Technology. Together, they redefine the quality, convenience and connectivity of mobile imaging devices. With KODAK EASYSHARE Software and easy access to KODAK Gallery1 or other web sharing sites,2 pictures are easily moved off the device, allowing consumers to print, share and enjoy their favorite photos whenever they want.
“Today’s creative consumers not only want to be the photographer, but also the retoucher, the exhibitor and the critic,” said Jeremy Dale, corporate vice president, mobile devices marketing, Motorola, Inc. “The MOTOZINE ZN5 lets them be all the things they want to be.”
Built to ShootZN5 puts image capture first, with a high-resolution landscape screen and one of the fastest click-to-click times available. To launch the camera, simply slide open the Kodak lens cover to transform the phone into an ultra-fast 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, a Xenon flash, 4GB of optional external memory3 and optimized settings for low-light environments.
Built-in KODAK Imaging Technology ensures that every picture taken with ZN5 looks its best. When KODAK Imaging Technology is combined with KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology, images become brighter and more vivid on the spot.
