HP Research is asking people to test their Free Red-eye Correction Web Service at RedBot.net!
I haven’t tried it, but HP want to use the feedback they receive to improve their own cameras so it’s worth a go as everyone wins!

Lods of photos of Chicago, from the 1940’s onwards. I can’t wait to get back there next year!

My friend Niamh’s sister got a puppy a few weeks ago. Here he is, Snoopy, the cute little thing! Really hard to get a good shot of a fast moving, almost non-stop creature. Thankfully he stopped to chew on an autumn leaf !

In the latest SMP article, Mike Johnston asks what else do photographers need?
