  • Resize, rename, realign, change format with 1 simple tool

    When we shoot a large number of pictures, we often end up with a lot of unpleasant work at photo edition time: file name modification according to one simple rule, format change or image size modification for all pictures going to the web or sent to somebody. But always in bulk: We have to endlessly…

  • Joseph Linaschke

    I was always slightly fascinated by concert photography, with all its technical obstacles and the added attraction of a spectacle for both eyes and the ears. Here, I was attracted by a picture from Joseph Linaschke (twitter: travel_junkie). The different perspective is the obvious distinguishing element. This photo was made while covering the Seal SOUL…

  • Dramatic fire for Philip Plisson

    Fortunately, with more destruction than victims, the “Plisson La Trinité” studio-gallery burned to the ground on September 19. Unfortunately, this is a 30-year-long archive which flared up in flames. Those are thousands of pictures, the years of life of a great man who will have to rebuild from nearly nothing, except his eyes, his heart…

  • Konrad Blum

    Landscape photography seems to require some work and long practice to be fully mastered. Konrad Blum has learned this lesson and is proving that he learned a few tricks here. Check his photostream on Flickr; I recommend it. Then, you will have to visit Konrad’s new web site: http://konradblum.com The specific photo I selected here…

  • Christophe Levet

    Generally speaking, those who tried their hand (or their camera) at concert photography noticed quickly that this is a specialty often made difficult by the tough lighting conditions. This only partly because of the lack of light (which is very real), but even more it comes from the near-impossibility to master your own lighting conditions.…

  • Pentax K-x: Color against thieves

    One idea about the (brightly) colored versions of the Pentax K-x: Insurers have noticed that brightly colored or off-colored (pink, light green, golden) cars are less often subjected to theft than more common colors (black, grey, etc.). This probably comes from the fact that they are less easy to sell again. So, why not choose…

  • Big Picture iPad app

    Do you know the excellent The Big Picture web site? It hosts marvelous sets of pro news photographs. I admit freely that I always keep an eye on this excellent source. Today, I learn that Boston.com (which is hosting The Big Picture) launches a new iTunes application for the iPad. And this is a great…

  • Luis Argerich

    Luis Argerich shot that photo on a visit to a local nature reserve. He found those trees and the sun was high right in the middle, the day was hot and the naked trees were really warm to the touch. Some people would drop the picture as either uninteresting or requiring too much post-processing, but…
