Samsung NX-R Coming in March?

By

Samsung could be releasing a full frame mirrorless camera in March, possibly known as the NX-R, which appeared alongside the now-official NX300 in a Samsung leak back in October. However, there is no solid word on what the spec list of the rumored NX-R would contain.

Additional rumors point to a Samsung NX30 coming in the future as a replacement to the Samsung NX20.

Digital Capture After Dark – New Book

By

Digital Capture After Dark

Digital Capture After Dark is a new book from Amanda Quintenz-Fiedler and Philipp Scholz Rittermann.

“Their coverage goes beyond the “how to” of capturing digital images at night and addresses the “why to” of long-exposure photography, including the importance of understanding how we think and see at night compared with during the day.

Also discussed are hands-on image editing techniques that will help photographers prepare their images for output. Detailed descriptions cover color balancing, expanding dynamic range, controlling flare, dealing with noise, converting to black-and-white, toning, and much more.”

Digital Capture After Dark retails for $39.95; however, it is currently available for pre-order for $24.31 on Amazon.com. It is also available in a Kindle edition for $9.99.
