A good example of today's Photojournalism.....
Vanity Fair
Today we are seeing less and less PJ style photography embraced by traditional news sources
Instead we find it in places like Vanity Fair
Yes Vanity Fair is providing News as well as Glitz,
stories photographed as well as written

Why f/2.8?
Why f/2.8?: "I got asked an interesting question recently. It's a general rule of thumb that most landscape shots are made with the lens stopped way down to maximize depth of field. Given this, why would you need a lens with an f/2.8 aperture?...."
The most important part of this for us portrait shooters is in the fifth paragraph, focusing !!!

A new Photography School On Line
This Tip By Tracy of SimmonsPhotoDesign.com

PS tip you might love
If you have spots on your high key floor or even zits. Use the dust and scraches filter. Set it until the spots disappear even though it will be very blurry. Apply the filter, select the snapshot in the history pallet, then undo the action. Take the history brush and click on the snapshot in the history pallet and select darken or lighten (depending on which you need to do) and brush away those spots very quickly. I use it for some of my retouching too.
When doing kissables or some other template. make a selection hit shift-ctrl-V to paste into your selection. Ctrl-T to transform. and hold the shift key down as you re-size draging the corner in or out to maintain perspective without distorting the image.
I made my own shortcut for packaging wallets 8 to a sheet since that is the way I send them to the lab shift-ctrl-Q

please don't be so eager for a buck and fall for these types of scams
Letter from the IRS (NOT)
I got this email today:
After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that
you are eligible to receive a Stimulus Payment.
Please submit the Stimulus Payment Online Form in order to process it.
A Stimulus Payment can be delayed for a variety of reasons.
For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.
To submit your Stimulus Payment form, please download the document attached to your email.
Note: If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you
received a refund anticipation loan, you will be receiving a check instead of a
direct deposit.
Regards,
Internal Revenue Service
I couldn't stop laughing. It had a vodafone.net email address.
