DCMag.co.uk have just posted their review of the Panasonic DMC-FZ10 Lumix ultrazoom digital camera.
“So, what about the final image quality? The Leica lens, at least, doesn’t disappoint. Long zooms are notoriously prone to distortion but, while there’s a little barrelling, vignetting and a hint of purple fringing at wide-angle, the rest of the range is optically sound. Snap a complex scene in bright sunlight and the sharpness is exceptional; even the tiniest details leap out.”

The third PhotographyBLOG Portfolio has been submitted by Jernej Burkeljca.
“Over the past few years there has been an increase in popularity of urban mountain bike racing in Slovenian cities. Bikers and organisers drew inspiration from their dual, downhill and 4X racing experience and came up with the BikeFight. A race against time or between two riders over various man made obstacles, from ladders to big jumps with some destroyed bike parts and injuries to make it all worthwhile.
The primary reason in the beginning was probably just to provide a novelty for the riders, keep the scene alive and have some fun in the process. In addition to that it helps promote mountain biking to the general public who are reluctant to climb uphill for a DH race where they only see riders for a fraction of a second. Urban races are set up in a way that you are able to see the majority of the course from any position and it usually works. Great music, lots of fun, plenty of action and many fans on the sidelines keep everything going on hard.”

The website Photography at About.com has an excellent article about photographing public events and demonstrations, something that I am personally interested in.
“Over the years I’ve photographed many such political marches, demonstrations and events in London, a few of which have had their violent and scaring moments. Occasionally I’ve been covering events for a particular client; but mainly I’ve been interested in making a historical record - these are things that I think are important and should be documented. The people who get out on the streets - for whatever cause - are people who are actively trying to influence the course of events.”

Dphoto.us have posted a test of the new 8 megapixel professional DSLR from Canon, specifically looking at image quality at the high ISO speeds of 1600 and 3200. They look pretty amazing to me…
“I took the 1D Mark II for a spin at Victory Field, home of the Indianapolis Indians, AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. When shooting at Victory Field at night, common practice is to try your best to get your shots in at dusk. Noise levels, even on the 1D were generally not adequate to get good quality shots. Well, the Canon 1D Mark II has changed all that. This camera offers new opportunities for low light photographers. The results were astounding and beyond my expectations.”

The second PhotographyBLOG Portfolio has been submitted by Birte Person, otherwise known as tootsie on the PhotographyBLOG Gallery.
“My portfolio is all of the same theme, the environment, which I have been involved with all my life, both through teaching and practising. I am retired now but am involved with the breeding of five rare species of frogs. Thus the mention of many ponds when listing my photos. These frogs are let go into areas where they used to be abundant but are now in such low numbers that they are almost extinct. All due to pollution and mans encroachment into their environment.
I live on the Sapphire Coast of Australia which is about 100 kilometers south of the Capital of New South Wales, Sydney. The area consist mainly of beaches and temperate rainforest.
I started photographing seriously in January 2004, because of age I am not able to do as much as I used to but doing this keeps my interest in the environment besides looking after the frogs.
I also love doing abstractions of nature, the things people do not normally see.
To sum it up I love nature but cringe when I look at the things being destroyed in the name of progress.”
