The restriction that limits video recording in digitial cameras to 30 minutes could be abolished if the World Trade Organization's Information Technology Agreement (ITA) is expanded. Several countries, including the USA, have begun informal talks to extend the scope of the ITA to include products that are currently subject to tariffs and duty. At present, digital cameras' video cuts off after 30 minutes to avoid them being classified as video cameras (which attract 5.4% duty). If the video cameras are added to the ITA, this distinction would no longer matter. (via Nikkei)

Just Posted: our hands-on preview of the Sony NEX-F3. The F3 is Sony's latest entry-level model, replacing the NEX-C3. It's built around the company's second-generation 16MP CMOS sensor, as featured in the NEX-5N and gains a built-in flash. It's also the first NEX to feature a screen that flips all the way into a vertical position, to make it easier to shoot self-portraits. We've been using an F3 for a couple of days - read our hands-on preview to find out what we thought and to see the images we shot.

Flickr has revised its image viewing pages for the first time in several years - finally letting images expand on larger monitors. The long-awaited feature, which Flickr is calling 'liquid' design, uses the largest image it can to fit your browser window, without ever upscaling. This combines with the latest version of 'lightbox' which shows your images as large as it can on the whole screen. Sadly the best results only come for images uploaded since March 1st 2012, for which 1600 and 2048 pixel versions will have been generated.

The Atlantic's 'In Focus' photo blog has collected a fascinating series of images from the Russian space program. Looking at both Zvyozdny gorodok, the training center just outside Moscow better known as 'Star City,' as well as the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the pictures give an insight into post-Shuttle space flight. Astronauts and scientists from different countries train together, as do entrepreneurs preparing for their paid trips into space. The collection uses a variety of photographic styles and beautifully conveys the faded futurism of space travel. (from The Atlantic)

I'm a beginner photographer( I never take any photography courses) and planning to buy new lens for weddings or portraits for a tight budget on my canon 550d, any suggestions?

And any more important accessories that I need to have on the wedding day?

I only know that I need spare battery, memory cards and a camera bag.

Thank you. ]]> ilovered17 http://www.photographersonline.co.nz/showthread.php?t=3680 http://www.photographersonline.co.nz/showthread.php?t=3679&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 14:26:54 GMT Hello guys,

I am a beginner photographer and I'm keen in buying a canon speedlite 430EX II. I don't mind either new or used (in excellent condition). I'm a student and only can afford as low as 300's. I've checked cheap ones on trademe but lost the auctions so no luck just yet. :(


Thank you! :D ]]> ilovered17 http://www.photographersonline.co.nz/showthread.php?t=3679 http://www.photographersonline.co.nz/showthread.php?t=3678&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 10:06:04 GMT I was offered the possibility to choose the theme for our next contest and despite being torn between 2 options I've decided for this one : "Atmosphere".

Conditions :
- maximum of 2 entries per person : one b/w, and one non-b/w (selective b/w is a non-b/w to me). Depending on the amount of entries I might separate the 2 categories for the vote, or not, we will see.
- maximum height is 800 pixels, no limits on width (I love panoramic shots) ! :envy:
- no framing in the likes of black bands around the shot, etc ... let's keep it simple for those without "graphic skills".
- no real limit on when the shot was taken, but within the last 2 years would be nice ?

As for the prize same thing than last time, if someone wants to throw something in : sweet ! Otherwise we'll do without. ;) ]]> Forum Photo Competitions SeabirdNZ http://www.photographersonline.co.nz/showthread.php?t=3678
