Adobe has released updates to both Lightroom and Camera Raw adding raw support for 15 additional cameras such as the Canon EOS 50D, Canon EOS 100D, Nikon D90, Nikon D700 and several Leaf backs. Updates are free for Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4 users but Photoshop CS3 users have access to raw support for the same cameras in recently released Camera Raw 4.6. In addition to the expanded raw support, the Lightroom 2.1 update addresses improvements in areas such as Photoshop integration, 64-bit utilization for both Vista and Mac OS X 10.5, and keyword migration.

Fujifilm FinePix S100fs digital camera review : Over the last few years, Fujifilm have managed to maintain their reputation and even add to it with digital Megazoom cameras. These cameras are a nice compromise and find themselves in between a mostly larger D-SLR camera with matching lenses and a compact camera. A Megazoom offers versatility and you never have to change its lens. From landscape to nature pictures, all focal lengths are available. However, the market for this type of camera finds itself under pressure.

Jeff Wignall compares extracting good exposures in your photography to befriending a wild-born kitten. While the kitten (and image) may be beautiful to look at, you just aren’t sure how best to catch it. You certainly won't get as many scratches on your arms from trying to capture a photo, but it can be equally as frustrating when thing don't turn out as you would like

It is said that you eat with your eyes first. That can be derived by the fact that so many menus and restaurant advertisements have professional food stylists setting up photographic shoots to wow you with their images. But while these images really want to make you desire that dish, you would probably get ill if you tried to eat it as it was shot. In fact at the start of Food Styling For Photographers, there is a disclaimer that these methods of food preparation are not meant for human consumption.

Creators of the ‘black silicon’ that has been much discussed, following an article in the New York Times, have said it’s too early to discuss what their material’s benefits might be for digital photography. The novel, doped silicon technology holds out the promise of increased sensitivity but is still in development by SiOnyx, a Harvard University spin-off.
The company holds the rights to develop and commercialize a silicon doping technology that research has suggested absorbs light (including in the infrared region of the spectrum that can be detrimental in conventional photography), more readily than conventional silicon chips.
