Nikon’s been running a teaser on their homepage recently about an new camera coming in 13 days. 10.2 megapixels and a partially-obscured body that looks a lot like a D70 or a D50 has had plenty of fan sites buzzing about whether this was a replacement to Nikon’s popular D70 with D200-class resolution.
Well it looks like some images have surfaced, and it’s gonna be called the D80. A few buttons have moved, the LCD’s finally bigger, and the body looks a bit smaller. For the rest of the details, we’ll have to wait until Nikon’s ready to spill the beans.
Insert your own 24″ square photo, and then lean back and relax as chilling air emanates from behind your photo, “mimicking the airflow in the South Korean mountains.”

These cool bubble magnets have a dry erase surface and hold up those snapshots on the fridge. Change the message whenever you want with the enclosed magnetic marker. (Doesn’t seem to be available in the US, but probably pretty easy to DIY.)
The most important work a young photographer can do is existential. You must figure out what kind of photographer you want to be, what do you want to say and how are you going to do it better than others have done before you.
Michella McNally, photo editor at the New York Times, answers readers’ questions on camera equipment, what the Times looks for when hiring photographers, advice for people starting out in the craft, the Times’ policy on Photoshopping, photography and the law, and more. An interesting read!
When the Space Shuttle and International Space Station are docked together, they form a very large satellite which looks like a bright star moving rapidly across the sky, easily mistaken for an airplane. This evening they flew over Georgia, and I got this picture, a 5-second exposure with a Canon Digital Rebel at ISO 400 and a 28-mm lens at f/4.
How… strange.
