Digital Asset Management is going mainstream. And most people don’t even realise it. With the development of Lightroom to version 3 (currently in beta) and the recent release of Aperture 3, sophisticated stand-alone DAM tools are reaching photographers everywhere. They may not be perfect at all aspects of DAM, or suitable for every [...] I’ve been on an extended holiday since the start of December. Just about 2 months of no income. My wife hasn’t been working in that time either. We are not wealthy people (far from it), and neither are we on any government benefits. We just prioritised our family. I know a lot of people would [...] In a way I suppose it’s partly jealousy. After all, Scott Kelby is the author of many international bestsellers, all of which focus on the art and craft of photography. I could be so lucky. Or clever. But I do have other, more valid reasons to think less of Scott’s latest book. And it’s this: he [...] I have to admit, when I first saw the Microsoft Windows 7 party video, I thought someone had slipped some acid into my mineral water. It blows me away that the corporate machine that is Microsoft could possibly think that the video was anything other than cringeworthy. Like, could you get any more un-cool? Weird…. [...] Barred spiral galaxy NGC 6217 (NASA/ESA/Hubble SM4 ERO) Space just blows my mind. The thing is the scale. It’s just incomprehensible. We think in terms of kilometers, whether it’s hundreds or millions. But out there, kilometers is meaningless. Light years is the standard measurement, and even then we can be talking about millions of light [...]
I follow quite a few blogs, mostly photographic ones, but a few others as well. One photography blog that I’d really recommend is Zack Aria’s blog. Zack is a great photographer, and he runs some very cool workshops, but he’s a really good thinker as well. He’s deep, sincere and very inspirational. Zack caused quite [...] The DAM Book I’ve just finished Peter Krogh’s book on Digital Asset Management, The DAM Book. Recently published in a second edition, it’s not just a slight update on the first edition, which I talked about here. The new DAM Book completely re-looks at Digital Asset Management in light of recent software developments and trends, [...] The Canon PowerShot G11 Less than a year after the release of the flagship PowerShot product, the G10, Canon have announced the successor to the crown, the G11. More than a few changes have been introduced. The G10’s 14.7MP sensor has been replaced in the G11 with one that Canon describes as a high sensitivity [...]
the new Canon 100mm f/2.8 L series macro lens Wow. How cool is this. I’ve been thinking of getting a macro lately. I’m now very glad I waited. Canon has announced a new lens in the form of an EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. They haven’t dropped the old 100mm macro, just [...] |
