I first came across this a couple of years ago then out of nowhere I thought about it again this morning. It was worth revisiting.

A few more sites covering the basics of photography

Sometimes it's good to reinforce what you've already learnt or to just hear the basic concepts explained in a different way. So below are links two more sites covering the basics of photography

Interchangeable Sensors

Here's a rumour that Nikon is developing an interchangeable sensor. Probably a good idea that I'd be into particularly if you didn't need to have the sensor changed by an authorised dealer. There was a similar idea in the early days of digital when someone proposed a sensor attached to a film canister that you could just slip int your film camera.

High and Low Art

A discussion on 'high art' and 'low art' photography (here). Personally I've never really made the distinction. I go for a visceral response to pictures.

Fantastic debate going on in the world of photojournalism right now as two of the top contests have awarded images that stretch the definition of photojournalism. Wait, there’s a definition of photojournalism!? No, and that’s the reason for the debate. (.......more here) via A Photo Editor

Retouching hell for the last two days. At least another 2 to go with more shooting already on the horizon. Think I will take the dog to the office tomorrow to keep me company.

End of the road for Kodachrome

What should a photographer shoot when he's entrusted with the very last roll of Kodachrome?

Always thought Kodachrome was difficult to get right.

A CACHE of old glass negatives bought at a garage sale for $US45 has been found to be the work of iconic American photographer Ansel Adams, and is worth at least $US200 million to the artist who found them.

Let me dig out those old glass negatives.

I've never been to The Oaks before but a shoot on Sunday took me out there and as I arrived a bit early I thought I'd drive on and have a look around. At the end of the road is Burragorang.
