Initial Review Posted for the Fujifilm Finepix F20
 Fujifilm Finepix F20 News Release
Excerpt:
The FinePix F20's sleek, lightweight proportions disguise its
technology-heavy specifications. Featuring a 6.3 MegaPixel 6th
Generation Super CCD, RP Processor II and ISO 100-2000
sensitivity, the F20 delivers images that remain sharp and
natural in bright sunshine, low light or with fast moving
subjects. Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology cameras are among the
only digital compact cameras to deliver high ISO at full
resolution. This means there's no need for a trade off between
high-quality, low light photography, and potential print size.

Initial Review Posted for the Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd
 Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd News Release
Excerpt:
Face Detection Technology operates exactly as its name implies,
identifying up to 10 faces in a framed scene. Once faces are
identified and prioritized, the 6.3 MegaPixel FinePix S6000fd
adjusts its focus and exposure accordingly to ensure the
sharpness and clarity of human subjects in the picture,
regardless of background. And since it is hardware rather than
software based, Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology works in as
little as 0.05 seconds, faster than similar in-camera detection
systems currently on the market or soon to be available.

Fujifilm Announces New Face Detection Technology
 Fujifilm Press Release
Excerpt:
Once Face Detection is activated, it automatically identifies
faces in the scene and prioritizes them -- in as little as 0.05
seconds. It simultaneously displays a green rectangle around the
top-priority face, and a white one around other faces before the
picture is taken. Using this information, the FinePix S6000fd is
able to focus more precisely on the main subjects and execute
the best possible exposure.

Better Travel Photography Tips
 Karen
Joslin writes, "The number one thing you can do to
improve your photography is good composition. Camera manuals
used to say that you should place your subject in the middle.
This was because viewfinders showed more than would end up in
your picture, but it usually looks boring. Instead, imagine
three equally-spaced lines running across your image both
horizontally and vertically. The places where the lines meet are
the strongest areas to place your subject."

Brief History of Photography
 Scott
Michaels writes, "The first photograph is
considered to be an image produced in 1826 by the French
inventor Nicéphore Niépce on a polished pewter plate covered
with a petroleum derivative called bitumen of Judea. It was
produced with a camera, and required an eight hour exposure in
bright sunshine. However this process turned out to be a dead
end and Niépce began experimenting with silver compounds based
on a Johann Heinrich Schultz discovery in 1724 that a silver and
chalk mixture darkens when exposed to light."

Helpful Tips for Better Photos
 Phill Petrovic
writes, "Keep an eye on the weather
Weather conditions can play a big part in setting
the mood of your shot. Rather than waiting for the bright light
of the midday sun, a misty morning in a forest can be the
perfect time of day for that mood-shot. Take your time to choose
the subject, then spend time walking around the subject looking
for the best angle and lighting. Subjects with muted colours can
sometimes produce excellent results. A field of wheat of similar
yellow-brown colour can produce striking results when
accompanied by a low-sun and long shadows."

Advertising Photography Business Entry
 TJ
Tierney writes, "Advertisement photography is by
far one of the most competitive forms of photography. This is
mainly due to the fact that you can earn far more money than in
any other aspect of photographic industry. Every day companies
pay millions of dollars on advertisement; with one goal - to
sell their product. Companies want to tell the reader that their
product is best - so you must be able to match this."
