FujiFilm has announced the invention of the brand new FinePix 100, a fine digital compact camera featuring an APS-C CMOS sensor, a Fujinon 23mm fixed focal length lens and the brand new Hybrid Viewfinder. This camera is due to be released in early 2011.
This is bound to be the perfect compact camera for the professional photographer or even for the simple photographer who simply loves to take great, vibrant pictures. This camera was designed to appeal to the DSLR users who craved a back up camera to use that was very compact and slim in nature. Most professional photographers, who use a bigger SLR system, wanted a smaller camera of the same nature to use for fill in shots or simply on the side. This camera is a definite need for the professional photographer and is one to look at early in 2011.
Fujifilm engineers worked very long and hard on this invention, keeping in mind that they had been asked for a smaller version of the SLR for a long while by serious photographers. Fujifilm believes there is a tremendous need for this smaller camera and that it will be much admired by many. The engineers worked on this invention for many months and believe they have come up with the perfect counterpart to the heavier, bulkier, traditional SLR system that was in some spots, difficult to use.

To the beginning photographer, nature photography can be quite daunting. To remember everything that needs to be communicated in a picture, and make it look good can be quite difficult at times. There are many things a typical photographer must keep in mind when trying to capture the perfect shot and bring images to life for the layman.
These are lines, shapes, colors, textures, balance, symmetry, depth, perspective, scale and lighting. The two most important questions for the beginning photographer to remember when it comes to nature photography are What is the message of this photo and What is the best way to communicate that particular message.
The best nature photos are of course, the clear and visible photos of the message. If the picture is blurry, weak or has distracting images, it definitely will not grab the viewer’s attention, which is necessary to become a great photographer. The goal of a great photographer is to grab the viewer’s attention with the first look, and to want the viewer to take a second look at the photo.
A great photographer will want their nature photos to convey a powerful message that the viewer cannot mistake for something else. It is important to keep in mind that the photo the beginner photographer captures needs to convey not only a message to the viewer, but to capture the mood of the moment and tell the story with no words needed.

In 2003, Olympus started the Four Thirds DSLR range with the introduction of the E-1. Since then, there were a lot of models that made their appearance but only a selected few rose to the occasion. In 2007, Olympus introduced the E-3 that was one of the greats; it was a big step forward that brought big improvements in all aspects. Now, in 2010, we get to see the latest addition to the Four Thirds DSLR range and it has the name of Olympus E-5.
Time passed and Olympus associated with Panasonic to create the Micro Four Thirds system and so introduced a new line of cameras. They state that this is not in direct competition with the Olympus E-5 and that it targets a different public.
The successor to the great E-3, the new E-5, is new benchmark in this series that will definitely find fans among professionals and semi professionals. With this DSLR camera, Olympus plans on winning a part of the market that is so highly debated amongst big names like Nikon and Canon. The E-5 has a lot of potential and Olympus has a experience in this field and so the results should be very good.

The long awaited version of Photoshop CS5 is now out there! You can purchase the software or trial run it for a short period. For the most part, we have a lot of experience with the Beta version and felt it was important to post some thoughts on what it has to offer.
There are numerous features with the new format. One unique one is called Puppet Warp this concept lets the user drop control pivots on the object that you are viewing, a face, house, etc. You can then distort the object by pulling and bending it into odd formations. I cannot imagine how this would be useful for most photographers, and is likely more geared to children and pranksters.
Another cool feature is the CAF (Content Aware Fill). Let us say you have a great family shot, but your brother was dating some floozy, you can pull her out of the shot and have the background fill. This truly is a great tool for removing various aspects in your images. The feature works rather well and the changes are barely noticeable.
