    February 28th, 2007 • Bookmark on | del.icio.us | Digg It | Reddit
    BY BRIAN TREMBLAY

    Your Digital Camera’s Sensor Size

    February 5th, 2007 • Bookmark on | del.icio.us | Digg It | Reddit
    BY MIKAEL KARLSSON

    In the early days of digital cameras, I used to recommend to people who were interested in licensing out their images to purchase a Digital SLR (DSLR) with 6 or more megapixels. These days I also recommend that they first look at the camera’s sensor size.

    December 7th, 2006 • Bookmark on | del.icio.us | Digg It | Reddit
    BY GARY BUNN

    “Dodging and Burning” are essential techniques to finish off any black and white image, especially useful for atmospheric or moody images.
