The Leica M9 By Craig (CR Guy) Introduction The Leica M9 sparks a lot of conversation. I’m starting to get questions about why I shoot with one. This revie
“Wow!” is all I can say. I was shocked and surprised at the quality of images I first downloaded. The first thing you notice is the sharpness, these are the sharpest images I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It’s not just the great lenses, it’s also the lack of an anti-aliasing filter on the sensor.
This Leica X1 limited edition was created for the 30th anniversary of the Parisian boutique and concept store L’Eclaireur. The camera was designed by Gilles Ouaki (see related Leic’art). 1930 pieces will be produced, the release date is October 14th. No w

CLICK NOTE: Final report from Mark at Photokina. Lots of great information here, including the 160 megapixel Seitz panoramic camera (seen in the photo above).
Those annoyed by the trendy term meta are going to be disinclined to tune in “Teenage Paparazzo,” a film about a 14-year-old who takes pictures of famous actors, made by one of those actors, who became famous for playing a famous actor, being shown on the cable outlet that carries the famous actor’s show. Let’s pause briefly while you go take some antidizziness pills.

The past several months in China have brought devastating floods, a mysterious North Korean jet crash, the Mid-Autumn festival, crackdowns on gambling and much more. A country with nearly the same land area as the United States, China is home to over a billion more people than the U.S. (1.3 billion to be more precise), and as it grows economically, it is grappling with environmental, social and political issues that affect people and places around the world. Collected here, from the past several months, are photographs from around China, the land and the people – their daily lives, challenges, work and play.
In “Images of War, Finally Unpacked,” Holland Cotter reviews an exhibition called “The Mexican Suitcase” at the International Center of Photography in New York, which documents wartime life in Spain between 1936 and 1939 through the eyes of three photographers — Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour (Chim) — in images no one seems to have seen for more than a half century.
“The Mexican Suitcase” at the International Center of Photography features recently recovered images of the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour.
After all these years I’ve found some answers to my question in an exhibition called “The Mexican Suitcase” at the International Center of Photography. The show documents wartime life in Spain between 1936 and 1939 from an insider-outsider vantage: through the eyes of three photographers — Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour, known as Chim — who were not Spanish but who were intensely committed to what they saw as a do-or-die anti-fascist struggle.
I’m sorry, as cool as your out-of-focus, Hipstawhatever iPhone looks, it isn’t creative.
I don’t know how more bluntly to put it, but the proliferation of imagery lately is slowly sucking the creativity out of photography. In fact, it has become more formulaic than anything else. I’m just as guilty. Just scroll down and see my last post. I find a wall with some random graffiti cover-up and a splash of paint and I nearly wet myself. It’s refreshing. Therapeutic. Completely worthless and self-absorbed. I have come to a realization that I am contributing to the decline of photography with every click of my camera.
I guess I am pondering creativity tonight because of a comment one of my favorite photographers, Chip Litherland, made recently on aphotoaday, an online community of mostly young photographers.
A day after Iran’s president defended his country’s record in permitting criticism, opposition Web sites reported on Wednesday that the second dissident Iranian journalist in less than a week had been incarcerated on charges including “propaganda against the state.”

At Hasselblad we’ve worked for years with Multi-shot, which moves the sensor between different shots. If you move sensor for one pixel in one direction it generates full colour information for each pixel. And additional half-pixel movements doubles the resolution in two directions
