Common Mistakes Made in Photoshop Editing

Sean David Baylis writes, "Photoshop is a wonderful program that allows you to edit a photograph in as many ways as you can imagine.

With this wide range of editing and compositing tools comes the ability to create fantastic works of art."         Full Article

Fujifilm Finepix F20 Review at Photography Blog

Photography Blog wrote a review of the Fujifilm FinePix F20 and said: "Not expecting so much from the lesser-specified F20, I was presently surprised. In not placing so many demands on performance, chiefly not unduly overstretching itself (and its SR chip) as regards ISO, Fujifilm has delivered a minor triumph. Though of course you're going to lose detail shooting above ISO 800, I was also surprised how much was retained. Any unusable images were due more to camera shake, and resultant image blur, than image noise, which is perhaps one area that Fujifilm has yet to adequately address."           Full Article

Expressing Light and Color in Autumn Photography

Melissa Mannon writes, "Autumn is my favorite time for taking pictures. The color in autumn images is brilliant and warm. Most people think of beautiful New England landscapes when they think of peak leaf peeping season. I think about the brilliant light and backdrop of color for my chosen fields of photography -- floral and portraiture. Certainly, fall’s reds, yellows, and oranges make brilliant subjects. Alternatively, however, the brightly colored leaves make a beautiful backdrop for the remaining garden flowers or for wonderful natural light portraits."         Full Article

Samsung NV10 Review at DPReview

DP Review wrote a review of the Samsung NV10 and said: "Image quality (contrast and saturation issues aside) is pretty much on a par with most 7-10MP competitors (there's little if any advantage to be gained from the extra pixels) - and at ISO 100 the soft touch approach to noise reduction actually produces better than average low contrast detail. At ISO 400 and over noise is a real problem, but for small prints high ISO results are just about usable if the light is so low you've got no other choice."         Full Article

Tips on Photographing People

Low Jeremy writes, "Unlike taking photos of inanimate objects, photographing people can be more difficult as they are dynamic. They move. They can think for themselves. This is the reason why it is much harder for one to anticipate their moves and their expression. One needs to be always in his toes when capturing people. A great deal of experience is needed to be able to produce a great picture."           Full Article

Nikon Coolpix S7c Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Nikon Coolpix S7c and said: "Image quality from the Coolpix S7c was generally very pleasing, though as can be expected, at its highest ISO settings, images became rather noisy. Colors were accurate and well saturated, though not oversaturated. Exposures were generally accurate and tended to sacrifice highlights to preserve shadow detail on the most difficult scenes. The automatic white balance did a very good job of serving up neutral colors with our lab's tungsten lights."

Nikon Coolpix S10 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Nikon Coolpix S10 and said: "Nikon does some things right with the Coolpix S10, most notably the lens and the versatile twist design, but its noise performance could definitely improve and we'd like to see them include some more advanced controls. With significant improvements in these two areas alone, Nikon's swivel-cams might be able to reclaim the status they once had as some of the most innovative and desirable compact cameras around."          Full Article

Nikon Coolpix S9 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Nikon Coolpix S9 and said: "The Coolpix S9 produced pleasing images with accurate-looking and adequately saturated colors, though the images weren't quite as sharp as we've seen from some other ultracompacts, such as Sony's T series. We saw small amounts of barrel distortion at the lens' widest setting and even smaller amounts of pincushion distortion at its longest telephoto setting."         Full Article

Kodak EasyShare Z710 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Kodak EasyShare Z710 and said: "The EasyShare Z710's image quality was neither bad nor impressive in our tests. As usual, colors were accurate and adequately saturated. At lower ISOs, the camera was able to capture oodles of detail; we were even able to discern the individual hairs on the plush ape in our test scene. The camera's high-quality lens no doubt helped in this and showed almost no noticeable distortion, even at the wide and telephoto extremes of its zoom range."          Full Article
