Leaving today..

We’re heading back to Chicago today. Mark – you’ll be glad to hear that I have a few snaps of the Apple Store. I didn’t take photos inside this time but it looks the same as the one in Chicago (I wasn’t about to repeat the same ‘Sir, you’re not allowed take photographs in the [...]

September issue of Megapixel out

The latest issue of megapixel.net has some great articles. I’ve printed out the ‘Night Photography’ one for later study. I want to take some snaps of the Buckingham Fountain here in Chicago this weekend. At 9pm every night coloured lights shine through the water, and the fountain gushes up high in the air.

Sony Announce DSC-F828

PhotographyBLOG has the scoop, and links to several previews of the camera. Looks very impressive! It could be the camera I’ll upgrade to next year! (I can always dream can’t I?) There’s plenty being said on the Sony Talk Forum too!
