I was reading a few blogs this morning and came across this video post by McNally. If you are a photographer or photo editor that deals with a lot of us, you will love it. Hilarious!! I may have gone over board on the screen capture but I want it to be as obvious as possible that this is another persons blog. Just click the screen capture and watch the video at Joe McNally’s Blog.

Again, at the beginning of the summer… I was in the buying mood. I needed a camera that I would give to almost anyone (aka an assistant) and get decent photo and video clips for blog posts. With very little research I was able to narrow my selections to three cameras.

• 1. Cannon’s G10
• 2. Nikon’s P6000
• 3. Panasonic’s LX3

Without getting to involved here with comparisons, I went with Nikon’s P6000. I have been using it for the past few months and feel comfortable reviewing it here. (more…)

I have been using a Macbeth Color Checker Chart for quite a while now and just recently stumbled across there new Passport system. It is actually a series of Charts and Cards combined with a software system for your computer that works directly with Photoshop to produce a calibration for a batch of images. I have been very satisfied with the results of the Color Checker and would love to fiddle around with the new system. For now, check out this video from X-Rite.

I was reading the Strobist Blog today and found this article fascinating. Check it out if you get a chance. Making a living $0.40 at a time just seems like a failing business model, but when your selling 2000 images a day, I guess you can push through it. After seeing this post on the Strobist I checked out Yuri’s blog and I was pretty impressed with that as well. Check it out here Very well spoken and clearly on top of his game. I don’t think it’s for me but I will definitely look at stock differently from now on. The videos are great and the concept of making stock work just captured my attention. Hope you like it.
