Digital photos are built of many pixels. Each pixel has a unique value which represents its color. When you are looking at a digital photo your eyes and brain merge these pixels into one continuous digital photo. Each pixel has a color value that is one out of a finite number of possible colors - this number is known as color

DIY cable release and serial cable for Canon Digital

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 13:52:51 -0800

Filed under: Digital Cameras While DSLR prices are dropping, the prices for accessories are not, so the folks over at Make have come up with a way to make a cable release and serial-port cable out of electronics you might already have laying around. The cable release, which helps to prevent camera-shake during long-exposures, requires a 2.5-mm stereo phone plug, some flexible wire and a switch. The serial-port cable, which allows you to make "bulb" exposures with the Remote Capture software included with the camera, requires a few more parts and some coding knowledge, but the reward could be well worth the effort for astrophotographers or people who want more cred at the next Maker Faire.

How to Get Your Photography Noticed, Gain Recognition and Start Making

Sat, 10 Jun 2006 16:07:07 -0800

When a reader wrote, "Recently I have taken an interest in photography and am taking a photography class at a local community college." She then asked, "How do I get my artwork noticed by someone who can do something about it?" She added that her art, "... is something that I am very passionate about and I want people to see and hear my message through my art." Questions like, "who do I show my art to?" and "How do I get my work out there?" are common to myriads of amateur and professional photographers and artists alike. Since "a picture can often be more powerful than someone giving a speech," an important question for many is "how do I get my work

HP "recalls" 679,000 cams, issues firmware

Wed, 07 Jun 2006 09:00:21 -0800

Filed under: Digital Cameras So even though Hewlett-Packard is "recalling" some 679,000 Photosmart R707 digital cameras (224,000 of which are in the US), there's no real need to panic, because instead of having to send your model back, performing a simple DIY firmware update will keep your shooter from becoming a flame thrower. Like so many other recalls of the past, this one also involves batteries that can potentially overheat and start a fire, but the problem only occurs if you feed power to the camera when it contains non-rechargeable batteries. Therefore, if you always use rechargeables in your R707, it sounds like you have nothing to worry about, but you single-use AA users shouldn't plug in your cams until you've completed the update, 'kay?

Sony's Alpha DSLR A100

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 11:57:08 -0800

Filed under: Digital Cameras Looks like the Alpha's what we thought it'd be after all -- and everybody waiting for Sony's first official DSLR need not wait (much) longer. Really, there's nothing much in the Alpha A100 we weren't already speculating based on the previous specs reported on the interwebs, but at least now the details are a little more fleshed out: its 10.2 megapixel sensor is a Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD with Super SteadyShot OIS, anti-dust filters and vibration, and Bionz Image Processor hardware; the camera also features the Minolta A-lens mount (of course), a 2.5-inch anti-reflective display, 3fps burst mode, 600 shot lithium-ion Stamina battery,CF and Memory Stick Pro Duo (via CF adapter), and a sweet feature that initiates autofocus when you look into the viewfinder (so you don't have to waste time with the half-press). Not bad, but we're honestly a little worried about the price up in this piece. We'll keep ya posted. Update: and the price! $999, "expected to ship on or before July 28th, 2006" according to the SonyStyle page. Oh, and DP Blog also has some sweet info on the 20 or so lenses announced for this thing as well, better check that out before you make any buying decisions. There you have it ladies and gents, enjoy. Thanks, Steve. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

OTTAWA--April 17, 2006--According to a study from InfoTrends Research, more than 50 percent of digital camera owners have no plan for dealing with the photos sitting on their hard drives. With imaging research firm Lyra Research predicting that nearly 500 million digital images will be saved on hard drives by 2009, it's easy to see why most consumers are confused, and how the allure of digital photography can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of photos on the home PC.
