Plants, macro and still-life aren’t really my main photographic interests, but the recent purchase of a Canon PowerShot G3 and a spare lunchtime made me go for a short walk near where I work. An hour later I had walked about 500 yards and taken 71 photographs :-) Composing via the LCD screen will take some getting used to, but so far the G3 has impressed me.

“When most publications say “NOW MONTHLY”! It’s usually a good thing. Ordinarily, it means they’re increasing their frequency from quarterly or bi-monthly, and they’ll be coming to you more often. But I know I’m going to hear some wailing and the proverbial gnashing of teeth (how exactly do you gnash your teeth, anyway?) when I make the following announcement (gulp): beginning two weeks from now, The Sunday Morning Photographer is going monthly. You’ll be able to find it right here, wherever you’re reading it now, on the first Sunday of every month.”

Photo-i are reporting that Epson have made their Gray Balancer software available for purchase for £39.99. This software allows you to precisely calibrate the Stylus Pro 4000, 2100 and 2200 printer for black and white output. Epson 2200 owners will be interested because Epson don’t ship the Gray Balancer with that printer in the USA, whereas here in the UK it is shipped with the 2100 (the 2100 and 2200 are the same printer).

The 11th PhotographyBLOG Portfolio has been submitted by Alan Reid.
“Photo Canvas - The technique produces a truly unique look to photographic images by working with hand coated photo sensitive emulsions directly onto a stretched canvas surface. To complete the look of the canvases acrylic colour is applied in a variety of styles depending on client’s requirements. see www.photo-canvas.co.uk
From start to finish I have complete hands on creative control of the image. Using traditional printing techniques I project a black and white negative onto a hand crafted stretched canvas. Under darkroom conditions each canvas is photo sensitised with a hand coated emulsion and then processed to yield a unique silver image, the characteristics of which are both stunning and timeless, and have a unique warmth and charm impossible to achieve with digital computer based imaging. Each canvas is finished with acrylic varnish to allow for cleaning and to protect the image surface.
I have been involved in photography most of my working life and have studied photographic technology to degree level. My wide ranging experience and knowledge of photography and printing techniques having been complemented whilst working as a freelance printer in London for titles such as Country Living and Harpers and Queen.”

CNET have just reviewed the new 8-megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 digital camera.
“With an 8-megapixel CCD and an improved electronic viewfinder (EVF), the Konica Minolta Dimage A2 surpasses its highly regarded predecessor, the 5-megapixel Dimage A1.

Kodak have released Photo Desk 4.0 for its DCS Pro SLR/n, DCS Pro SLR/c and DCS Pro 14nx (upgraded) digital cameras with firmware 5.0 or newer.
New Features:
- Lens Optimization Slider Control - A convenient, easy-to-use slider control enables users to adjust the degree of compensation applied for a given RAW image to minimize potential hue shift introduced by certain lenses captured with KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro SLR/n, DCS Pro SLR/c and DCS Pro 14nx (upgraded) digital cameras with firmware 5.0 or newer installed.
