Sony NEX-7 Digital Camera Review By Steve Huff follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and now Google + Buy the NEX-7 at B&H Photo HERE! I will start off this review of the long awaited Sony NEX-7 by saying that this is probably the hottest and most anticipated “

As I said before in a much viewed post, SONY GREW SOME BALLS and produced a camera that so many of us wanted to be made! Yes, the NEX-7 is HOT. Even more so than the super hot and hyped Fuji X100 (which I am still in love with by the way). So lucky me…I have been fortunate enough to have been shooting with the final production version of the NEX-7 for the last two weeks and have learned its ins and outs as well as its strengths and weaknesses. I’ve been studying it, shooting with it, and even waking up at night from nightmares of a NEX-7 floating above my bed. No joke! Guess I really get into my job and my passion huh?
“Eight years ago, Portugal did present itself as a new landscape in my life – both literally and metaphorically. Since then, I have photographed exclusively along a very small stretch of its southern coastline. Returning to this specific place, I’ve sought out its nuances. In doing so, I have peeled back layers of how I see, and how I experience this magical environment.

In 2008 we began working on the long term project entitled ‘Theater of life’. Themes are the changes occurring in our society under the influence of culture and technology, which are increasingly present in our everyday lives.
at this point what I can say about the upcoming (December, 2011) GX1 is that when it comes to just about everything that I can test, the camera looks like a winner for Panasonic. If image quality turns out to be comparable or even slightly better than the G3 from this past summer, and there’s no reason to doubt that it will not, then there are bound to be a lot of GX1 cameras and X lenses in some folks Christmas stockings this season

This is absurd. I just searched the Web for the most dangerous city in the United States. I wanted to rediscover that strange energy you feel in places where social rules and constraints have been weakened or abolished. A feeling of freedom mixed with danger.
I was able to collect some specs from several sources for the upcoming Nikon D4 camera. The [NR] rating on those specs is 90% which means this is the real deal with maybe some small details being wrong possibly due to wrong translation. Nikon D4 specs: 16.2 MP 11 fps Correction: 100-12,800 102,400 native ISO range, […]

The Nikon D4 is clearly made to compete with the Canon EOS 1Dx. I will stay conservative on the announcement date, but there is a very good chance that the Nikon D4 will be announced right before or during the PMA show in Las Vegas (January 10-13, 2012).

2011 was a year of global tumult, marked by widespread social and political uprisings, economic crises, and a great deal more. We saw the fall of multiple dictators, welcomed a new country (South Sudan), witnessed our planet’s population grow to 7 billion, and watched in horror as Japan was struck by a devastating earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear disaster. From the Arab Spring to Los Indignados to Occupy Wall Street, citizens around the world took to the streets in massive numbers, protesting against governments and financial institutions, risking arrest, injury, and in some cases their lives. Collected here is Part 1 of a three-part photo summary of the last year, covering 2011’s first several months

The Reuters photographer Finbarr O’Reilly on covering the conflict in Ivory Coast.
via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/30/from-a-bloody-conflict-to-the-hague/
Covering the bloody conflict was hard. Mr. Gbagbo’s thugs and militant Young Patriots were violently opposed to any Western influence, which also meant foreign journalists. Reuters relied heavily on the Ivorian photographers Luc Gnago and Thierry Gouegnon to navigate through the local tensions, but often even they could not cover Gbagbo rallies without risk. An important photo of Mr. Gbagbo, defeated and grim-faced in the Golf Hotel room, was obtained from an Ivorian photographer who had been trapped there with Ouattara and his besieged entourage for weeks as food and water ran out (Slide 10). He still does not want his name used for security reasons.
