DP&I.com: Blended Exposures Revisted – neat method of getting a little more dynamic range from your photos. Not suer if the GIMP can create a luminosity mask but similar methods can be used to get the same effect.

The new Canon: Canon 5D
Luminous Landscape published their impressions of the new Canon 5D which was announced a few days ago. Ken Rockwell has compared the spec list to that of the Canon 20D with some surprises!
Bob Atkins compares the 20D and 5D too. Some of the features of the 20D that are missing in the 5D ares ones I use – notably the built in flash and spot meter. Sometimes it’s just too much bother getting the 580ex out of the bag, and the on-board flash is sufficient!
Photography Meetup in Cork
Ryan wants to organise a meetup of photographers in Cork! Could be fun, but we might frighten the population of Cork if too many of us descend on Patrick Street at one time!
Canon IS Lenses – worth it?
Bob Atkins discusses Canon IS Lenses in this article. He asks is it worth the extra cost?
He also asks if it beats an L series lens which is all academic to me as I’m not going to be spending that much money on a single lens any time soon!
Lovely example shots showing the strengths of both types of lens.
I’m waiting on my Sigma 18-200, el cheapo, but “it’ll do the job” I hope!
