Posted on July 10, 2008 | Leave a comment

A quick heads up on Photo Forum which will be taking place tonight from 6pm to 8pm at Jacobs Pro Lounge, 74 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1EU.

Tonight’s gathering, free and open to all, will showcase “Toys”, the result of more than ten years of travels round the world from Julio Etchart, a short show featuring the coverage by 15 of London’s finest photographers of President George Bush’s visit last month to Downing Street and a presentation of work by me. Hope to see you there!

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.

400Gb Optical Storage….on one disc!

Posted on July 7, 2008 | Leave a comment

Pioneer have developed a 16 layer optical disc which will hold 400Gb on a Blue Ray disc. This is obviously great news for archiving pictures. However as with all things optical, its going to take a while to find out what the longevity of these discs will be.


As a side line, my advice is back everything up on at least two hard drives and then optical media. Also, look into “cloud” services like Amazon S3 (Using Jungle Disk) or Apple’s “.Mac” (soon to be relaunched as “Mobile Me” for virtual storage space on remote servers for important files.
