Seb Rogers launches new blog
Lots - we might even go so far as to say "most" - riders seem to carry some sort of camera with them on rides these days. Particular since you can get phones that are better camera than some cameras we've owned. Taking good pictures of bike rides isn't all that straightforward, though (although judging by the reader pics that have graced our front page, quite a few of you have got the hang of it). We can think of few better ways to glean some tips than to pick the brains of a professional, and handily a professional has just started to tip the contents of his brain on to the internet. The lensperson in question is Seb Rogers. He's been getting paid for pictures of bikes for over a decade, has more than 70 magazine covers to his name and has had pictures in just about every UK bike mag you care to mention.
2ND UPDATE: Kodak Steps Up Projected Job Cuts, Restructuring Charges
SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones) -- Eastman Kodak Co. on Thursday increased its plans for job cuts and related charges, as it seeks to wind down a four-year restructuring program by year-end. The photographic and digital-imaging company (EK) said job cuts in its 2004- 2007 restructuring program will total 28,000 to 30,000 jobs, or 3,000 more than a projection it made last summer. Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak had already fired 23,400 workers by the end of last year as part of its restructuring program launched in January 2004. The new projections push planned job cuts for this year to 4,600 to 6,600, or up to 16% of the 40,900 employees working at Kodak at the end of last year. Kodak said it lifted its earlier estimates, which it had reiterated last week during its fourth-quarter earnings report, based on an "understanding of the remaining actions" needed to complete its restructuring program and the pending sale of its health care group.
Search continues with underwater camera
The search for two missing men continues today on Lake Sakakawea with the help of an underwater camera. Search efforts for 26-year-old Michael Malo of Beulah and 28-year-old Daniel Hass of Bismarck fell short again today. Yesterday, officials searched by ground and air, finding only a suspicious spot on Lake Sakakawea where the men were headed Monday for a fishing trip. Today, Mercer County officials' mission was to find the coordinates of that suspicious spot so they could focus their search on it. The team used an 80-foot underwater camera to search below the ice. But the camera didn't reach the bottom of the lake. A second attempt was made using a 100-foot cable. Still, it never hit bottom. (Mark Schmidt, Mercer County Sheriff Deputy) " Where they are looking is about a 102 feet of water and the camera cords with the drift of the current and stuff under of the ice.
Acclaimed Photographer Authors Highly Anticipated Photoshop Book
Award-winning fine artist and digital photography teacher Vincent Versace, pens "Welcome to Oz: A Cinematic Approach to Digital Still Photography with Photoshop." Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) January 30, 2007 -- With more and more digital photographers being born everyday, it's no wonder that the world's most popular photography editing tool, Adobe Photoshop, has spawned a cottage industry of instructional support.
Though there are many Adobe Photoshop books and digital photography tutorials on the market, "Welcome to Oz" is the first book written by a treasured American artist that shows digital photographers how to put themselves into the proper state-of-mind before they even open their camera case.
Shipped with a DVD that contains the source files and images used in the lessons, "Welcome to Oz" is not a run-of-the-mill, how-to book.
