Spot On: Flom Designs and Photography

By

One of the things I love about blogs is the interaction that you get from readers.  Recently, Photography Bay featured a reader-created version of Free Links Friday.  Photographer Emily Law missed the deadline on getting a link to her site, Flom Designs and Photography, listed on that particular post; however, she took the time to comment and included a link to her site, which I followed and became quite engrossed for a short while in her photography and story.

I love visiting sites of other photographers and to hear about their journeys in life as a photographer.  Emily, who seems to be an avid YouTube user, has the above video from a local Fox network news story featured on the “who I am” section of her site.

Let me also point you to the link that Emily provided, which included wedding photos from a recent job.  See them here.  Emily said that this image is one of her favorites in a long time.

If you missed out on the Promote Your Blog for Free offerings a couple of weeks back, stay tuned.  There will be another one coming up soon.  You can make sure you don’t miss the next one by subscribing to Photography Bay’s RSS feed via the link below.

 

Sony DSC-W130 Review at Steve’s Digicams

By

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Sony DSC-130.

It is incredibly easy to use with several automatic shooting modes to assist you in difficult situations (not to mention a very handy Smile Shutter mode). The quality of our images was very good, as was the video.

Nikon D60 Review at Digital Camera Info

By

Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the 10.1 megapixel Nikon D60.

Imaging performance shines when it comes to noise, and the responsiveness while shooting is exceptional for a camera in this class. However, the D60 also lagged in several equally important areas, including white balance and dynamic range.

Sony A350 Review at DP Review

By

DP Review has posted a full review of the Sony A350.

It’s certainly a competitively-priced, well-specified camera and one that feels better-constructed than many of its rivals. It’s also one that smoothes down the learning curve and will totally satisfy users who aren’t familiar with what the best modern DSLRs are capable of.

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Canon A590 IS.

Considering its low price, the PowerShot A590 IS offers an amazingly complete list of features, with high-performance optical image stabilisation, a useful range of manual controls and exceptionally good performance, especially in low light conditions.

Free Links Friday

By

Below are some of the best photography links from other sites that I came across this week. Enjoy!

How Many Images Should You Shoot At A Wedding? – Digital Pro Talk – David Ziser dishes out the lowdown on how he ends up with over 4000 images from a single wedding.

Nasty footage of Canon cameras destroyed due to shipping error – Crunchgear – See what happens when warehousing and shipping errors cause half a million dollars worth of damage to Canon gear.  Be careful.  This is not for the faint of heart.

Using a Slow Shutter Speed for Effect – LeggNet – Rich Legg gets nostalgic hearkening back to his high school days, and shows how breaking the rules (photographically speaking) can be a good thing.

Wanna Go Polaroid? Pick the Right One! – Epic Edits – Brian Auer talks instant film cameras and how to choose based on the availability of affordable film.

Sunset on Mars – Boing Boing – An image of a sunset on Mars.  Seriously.  It was taken by the Mars Rover.  I can’t really tell you why, but I find this exceptionally cool.

Wired.com Photo Contest: Summer – Wired – A new themed contest from Wired.  “The 10 highest-ranked photos will appear in a gallery on the Wired.com home page.”

Thief steals Eye-Fi-equipped camera, proceeds to give himself away – Engadget – Eye-Fi should be renamed to “Private Eye-Fi” after snagging this bad guy.  Clearly, not the smartest of thiefs.  This should make every photographer that has had gear stolen at some point feel a little warm and fuzzy on the inside.
