The Professional Photography Show Flicker Group hit another mini-milestone this week. We now have over 150 members! I would like to welcome and thank all of you who have recently joined up with us.
If you are a new Flickr user and have any questions, start up a discussion topic and I’m sure our memebers would be glad to help. Be sure to keep posting new images when you can. It is very exciting to see what the group has been shooting lately.
Let’s see if we can’t pass 200 members by June 1st!

Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)
by Bryan Peterson
So I was looking for a book on Exposure to see what other professionals with years of experience have to say about it and came across this book. So after reading more about it I bought it and basically read the entire book in one night. It really does not matter if you are new to photography or you have been in the game for years This book has something for everyone. Yes it tells you the basics and defines everything concerning Exposure but you also get Bryan Peterson’s logic and creativity behind his images. It’s $14.97 over at amazon. Everyone will learn something from this book, especially people who are new to photography.

I’m hard to wow these days. I’ve seen just about everything out there but this latest image enhancer looks pretty intense.
It’s from a company called fotowoosh. They are developing a program that promises to turn any 2-D image into a 3-D image. I know - it’s sounds next to impossible…and, in a way, it is…
That’s why you have to see it to believe it.

Hey gang…
Just wanted to pass along a cool Web site I came across.
Granted, it’s an advertisement, but Kingston has done a really good job of highlighting some rather cool photographers.
I’ve learned something and been inspired - not bad for an ad!

So, Apple Dropped the price on their displays again. What does this mean? Well it could mean that those of us who have been wanting and craving a beautiful display such as these pretties finally have a chance to pick one up. BUT, it could also mean that Apple is trying to sell as many as possible because they could be announcing new displays. Now I’m NOT saying Apple is going to announce new displays. However, taking into account Apple’s history of dropping prices and announcing new products, one can speculate something is on it’s way.
These beautiful displays have not be upgraded in quite sometime. So here is my perdition and hopes for the new displays. Of course you have to include a built in isight camera. Especially since apple has stopped offering the isight camera from it’s online store. Higher resolution capability is always a welcomed upgrade. Larger displays would be another joyful event, I’m thinking 50″. And finally, I would love to see some Advanced Color Calibrator sold with the display or some how built into the display.
No matter what may or may not happen concerning an announcement of new displays, lower prices on the existing sophisticated displays is simply great news for professionals.
The Apple Cinema Displays work with both Mac and PC.*
The 20″ is $599.00, that’s a $100.00 drop.
The 23″ is $899.00, that’s a $100.00 drop.
The 30″ is $1799.00, that’s a $200.00 drop.
Hey remember when the 30″ was $3200.00. Times have changed.
For more information see Apple.com.
Until Next Time,

*I don’t know if there are any problems when using the Cinema Display with Vista
