  • This Just In: Fujifilm FinePix IS-1

    When you open as many boxes as we do, it sometimes becomes routine. So routine that you just open the box without looking to see whom it came from. It's sort of like a game, can we figure out what type of camera it is by just looking at the accessories? This camera came in with the usual accessories (batteries, lenshood, strap, cables, CD software and cap), plus something else. That something else is a Peca 900 filter and a Peca 916 cut filter. We knew then that this was no ordinary point and shoot camera—this camera was different.

  • Gasp! Celebrity Photos Retouched--Again!

    At any rate, this kind of manipulation needs to be seen in context. A news magazine cover shot of an actual event of notable person (O.J. Simpson, for instance) should not be manipulated. The cover of a celebrity magazine is more akin to a movie poster--it's a manufactured image meant to sell. --David Schonauer

  • Tip of the Day: Silence the Wind

    If you’ve visited YouTube, you know of the hordes of snap-shooters using digital compacts to make videos. While these cameras offer good image quality, and can be super-compact, their audio pickup leaves something to be desired, especially when shooting in windy conditions. To control wind noise, I made a windscreen for my compact’s microphone from the gauze-like padding of an adhesive bandage. Taped over the mic’s tiny port, the “screen” does an admirable job of muffling, even eliminating, the sound of wind from my videos. —Reader Tip From Stephen Uber, Manchester, CT

    As he points out, the number of journalists covering the war is going down, and those who remain have been because of violence, rarely seeing face-to-face what combat soldiers are doing.

    This is all without ever pulling your camera out of your bag. Giving trinkets to kids is certainly a way to get them to pose, but it sets a very bad precedence. It has reached such epic proportions in Nepal that they sell shirts stating,

This video of a model’s transformation from average woman to billboard in 60 seconds has been making the rounds on the internet for a while now, but in light of our recent post about in-camera tricks to used make women look more beautiful, we thought it appropriate to take a look at what even more trickery can produce.

  • Photo Feud

    The uploading and naming process for photos is a bit tedious, but the prizes (a trip to Mexico and a trip to London) are worth it and the concept is interesting.—Kathleen Davis

    Travel site IgoUgo has a different kind of photo contest going on right now: it’s a “photo feud.” Between now and May 31 you can upload 10 travel photos a day, then from June 1 through 15 your photos (and everyone else’s) “feud” against each other one at a time: two photos pop up and users vote for one, then another one replaces that one and users vote for their favorite of those two, the photo with the most votes at the end, wins (similar to the likebetter.com co
