Strap your eyeballs in ladies and gents, for you are in for a hell of a ride. Some of the photos in sugarock’s photo stream are fantistic to look at, and some of the most original underwater photos I have seen.

Most excellent.

About 3 months ago, I decided I was going to do an experiment, and changed the way I used this blog. From being a blog primarily about my photographic adventures, I changed it into a blog about photographic news and happening from all over the interwebs. It started with a set of interviews I did, and just sort of kept going after that. My original thought was to give it 10 weeks and see how things went. Well it has now been 15 weeks and it has been pretty successful, visitors have increased by a factor of 5, and I have heard some pretty good comments about it.

Well all good things come to an end, and that is the case for the blog. I wont be putting as much time into it as I have over the last 15 weeks. I will still post things which I think are interesting, but less often, and maybe multiple items per post. Despite the amateurish feel to this blog, it is a bit of work, and I find I am stressing trying to find things to fill the pages. I think it also takes me away from photography at times.

So, look forward to more write ups about my own personal experience behind the camera, or in front of it, and less of me copying and pasting random links from around the globe.

And now, here is a photo of a birdeee.

I hope I don’t ruffle too many feathers!

Here are some great examples of iPhone photography. Really, check them out, they are terrific considering it is a 3MP camera phone.

Another interesting article about the ethics of photo manipulation. Not so much about should you or shouldn’t you, but more about the ethics of doing manipulation on journalistic photography. Like I said, an interesting read.

The Financial Times have a terrific article about the return of Polaroid film.

May as well get the 52 week project out of the way early this week.

This one is about the wonders of fill flash. I was trying to explain it, and not very well, to a work mate the other day, and promised him I would take a photo that showed how it works.

This is as good as I could do.
