Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Reviews
Nov 3rd
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 ($899, with lens) is a compact interchangeable lens camera that uses the Micro Four Thirds standard. When Panasonic introduced their first Micro Four Thirds camera, the DMC-G1, many folks (myself included) were disappointed that it was fairly large, and not the compact model we hoped the MFT format would deliver.

Olympus E-450 Reviews
Oct 31st
Announced at the end of March, the Olympus E-450 follows hot on the heels of the E-620 and replaces the E-420 at the entry level of the company’s DSLR line-up. Its specifications are almost identical to the E-420, but the E-450 adds three of the Art Filters that were introduced last year with the E-30 and boasts an upgraded image processor. Sensibly, sensor resolution has been kept at 10-megapixels and the top sensitivity setting is ISO 1600. The first thing that strikes you when you unp Read More

Pentax Optio WS80 Review
Oct 31st
For most the past four years, if you wanted to buy a waterproof compact camera, you had a choice of either a Pentax Optio W series, or something from the Olympus mju SW range but the recent growth in popularity of outdoor adventure sports and activity holidays has opened up the market for cameras that are waterproof, and in some cases shockproof and freeze-proof. Most of the main manufacturers have recently launched new cameras in this category, but they’re mostly expensive luxury items. T Read More
10 Tips to Take Stunning Portraits
Oct 30th
Today and tomorrow I want to talk about taking Portraits that are a little out of the box. You see it’s all very well and good to have a portrait that follows all the rules – but it hit me as I was surfing on Flickr today that often the most striking portraits are those that break all the rules. I want to look at some ways to break out of the mold and take striking portraits by breaking (or at least bending) the rules and adding a little randomness into your portrait photography. I’ll shar Read More
Samsung DualView TL225 Digital Camera Reviews
Oct 30th
When the Samsung DualView TL225 was announced a few months ago, it inspired comments like, "Why didn’t anyone think of this before?" The small LCD on the front of the camera takes the guesswork out of framing up self-portraits and group photos via self-timer. Before we get into a full review, we want to share a first look at the camera’s touch interface and, of course, that front LCD. Our first impressions of the TL225 have been fairly positive. The resolution on t Read More

21 Impressive Tree Images
Oct 17th
There’s something about trees that gets to me. I’m not sure exactly what it is but something about their shape, majesty, intricacy and symbolism draws me to them as photographic subjects. Today I spent a couple of hours surfing through Flickr, particularly looking for Tree images (some OF trees and others that just include them in some important way). Here’s some that caught my attention – many of which are even more beautiful large (click to see them bigger). Image by ~jjjohn~ I Read More
How to Use Sunset Light to Light Portraits
Oct 17th
Sunset is arguably the most beautiful time of day for portrait light. But you don’t want to simply take your subject outside and start shooting. Take a few moments to identify “how” to use your light and your portraits will be dreamy. Here are three ways you can use the light by setting your subject in relationship to the setting sun. 1. Front Light: Place your subject facing the light. Shoot facing your subject with your back to the light. The light will brightly illuminate your subject, Read More
