R.I.P. Richard Mills, Photographer With The Times

Posted on August 7, 2008 | Leave a comment

It was with great sadness that I heard of Richard’s passing. I didn’t know him very well but on the several occasions that we had met he had been extremely kind and welcoming to me. A truly lovely gent.

Richard passed away whilst on assignment for The Times in Zimbabwe. His funeral was held last week. He will be missed by many.

The BPPA have a slideshow of his work here.

The Times obituary can be read here.

Axis of Evil Photoshop Technique

Posted on July 16, 2008 | Leave a comment

Its nothing new; photography’s been used as a form of propaganda for decades. All you have to do is research the Soviet Union’s use of picture manipulation.

However, the newest form came out of Iran a few days ago when images of the missile tests got released.
Apparently one of the four rockets didn’t fire and was “photoshoped” in later.
Read more about it at The Guardian and the National Post.

First Reviews for Apple’s 3G iPhone

Posted on July 9, 2008 | Leave a comment

The first reviews are now hitting the internet for the 3G iPhone.

In a nutshell things seems positive with the faster 3G, the news apps and GPS with the only real downside seeming to be the shorter battery life (which still seems to last an average day).

See the reviews in their entirety at:

How Many?!

Posted on July 8, 2008 | Leave a comment

50?! Yep, its 50! Hasselblad’s just announced their new H3DII-50 which has a 50 megapixel sensor. That’s more than twice the output of the Canon 1DS MkIII!

The H3DII-50 produces a 300Mb file, shoots at 1fps and has an ASA range of 50 to 400.
