The Peak Effect Tips from the Top Floor - Free MP3 Audio and Video, Learn Photography, Photo Workshop! Bookshelf Porn FotoDC Podcasts Well, we're not sure what to call it. Compendium seems the best term, but a bit over the top. Amalgam — too dental. Blog — too, well, bloggish. Corpus — creepy. Assemblage, collation, accumulation, gathering — oh, heck with it. How about — Where We Put Lots of Stuff We Think You Will Be Interested In. Essentially, we are doing a bit of E-C-R-S, which stands for Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, and Simplify. The idea is simply this: we are combining all the multifarious email and web communications we have with LensWork readers into one compendium. Podcast Technology Blog Ask Brooks Blog Weekly News & Info Emails Alumni News emails Twice weekly Alumni Spotlights Vision of the Heart blog Podcast email announcements . . . we are combining all of this into one, new project called LensWork Daily.

Museum of Contemporary Photography PhotoNetCast - Photography podcast Le métier de photographe [CE-2015-3] - Études et statistiques Emploi, travail, formation, professions culturelles Photographie Département des études, de la prospective et des statistiques Culture études Statistiques Claude VAUCLARE, Rémi DEBEAUVAIS mai 2015 22 p. Évalués à environ 25 000, les photographes professionnels font face, depuis une quinzaine d’années, à des changements importants liés à la diffusion des nouvelles technologies numériques, qui ont redéfini les pratiques de toute une profession. La mutation des conditions de création, de production et de diffusion de la photographie s’est traduite par une dérégulation du marché de la photographie et par une fragilisation du cadre juridique qui garantissait auparavant les revenus des photographes. L’étude est fondée sur une enquête menée auprès d’un échantillon de 3 000 photographes et sur de nombreux entretiens avec des professionnels.

CF/SD Performance Database The CF/SD/XQD Performance Database is a compilation of write and read speed test results designed to aid the serious amateur and professional photographer in selecting camera storage media for a Canon or Nikon digital SLR. Write speed test results for each of the digital SLR models actively being tested, as well as card-to-computer transfer rates, can be accessed from the popup menu above. A memory card is a critical component in the professional photographer's digital system. Though you may have come to this database to see how CompactFlash, SD/SDHC/SDXC and XQD cards perform in your camera, we think it's equally important these days to consider card-to-computer transfer rates. There are two sizes of CompactFlash. CompactFlash Type II (left); CompactFlash Type I (right) All of the CompactFlash-capable cameras in the database accept CF I, while a handful also accept CF II. SD is short for Secure Digital, and there are three variants of it on the market: SD, SDHC and SDXC. Edge stamp

Un “Dictionnaire de la photographie” pour y voir plus clair Spécialiste de l'histoire de la photographie, Nathalie Herschdorfer publie un ouvrage conçu pour répondre aux interrogations des amateurs de photo. A l'occasion du Paris Photo 2015, elle a répondu aux questions de “Télérama”. Couverture brillante, trois cents illustrations sur papier luxueux : ce nouveau Dictionnaire de la photographie, publié le 12 novembre aux Editions de La Martinière, se déguste comme un beau livre. Pendant plus de dix ans, cent cinquante experts ont planché sur le projet, sous la houlette de Nathalie Herschdorfer. Directrice du musée des beaux-arts de Locle en Suisse, cette historienne de l’art spécialisée en photographie a organisé de nombreuses expositions dont « Faire face : la mort du portrait ». Photographes, procédés, genres : de A à Z, elle revient sur le passé de la photo, histoire, à l’ère du numérique, de ne pas oublier l’essentiel. Pourquoi publier un dictionnaire de la photographie, sachant qu’il en existe déjà plusieurs ?
