Mount Everest-Monte Everest -360 panorama view from summit - Climbing Mt... It is from a book titled Everest: Reflections From the Top by Christine Gee & Garry Weare which just been published. Why did I climb Everest? What did I think of on the summit? On the summit I felt a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. My work in India has been eased slightly by my ascent of Everest. Roderick Mackenzie French translation from Google: Ce panorama de plein a été publié dans le cadre de les 50 ans de la création en Mai 2003, pour la première qui atteint le sommet de l'Everest Il ya 50 ans, Mai 29 1953 Le sommet du mont Everest était atteint pour la première fois par Edmund Hillary et Tenzing Norgay. Roderick Mackenzie fait l'image en haut du mont Everest 24 Mai 1989. C'est dans un livre intitulé Everest: Reflections From the Top par Christine Gee & Garry Weare qui viennent d'être publiés. Pourquoi ai-je monter l'Everest? Qu'est-ce que je pense sur le sommet? Au sommet je me suis senti un mélange d'appréhension et curiosité. Roderick Mackenzie Spanish Translation

Compact Cameras for Fashion Bloggers - IFB - Independent Fashion Bloggers Image by Geishaboy500 In my last post I covered three tech tips for blog photos and I noticed that I received a great many comments regarding the use of cameras other than DSLRs. I’m going to let you in on a little secret: in this day and age you simply do not need a DSLR to take great images, especially not if you only intend to post your images online. In the last few years the compact camera market has exploded; where once great image quality and a full range of camera functions were reserved for top of the line DSLRs, this is no longer the case. Canon Cameras Canon s95 ($400) Pros: About as small as a camera can possibly get; it will fit in a breast pocket.Very low aperture of f/2.0 so you can shoot in dimly-lit rooms and for a nice out of focus background. Cons: Canon G12 ($600) Olympus Cameras Olympus XZ-1 ($450) Olympus E-PL2 ($500-$700 [with an additional lens]) Interchangeable lenses that all come with an affordable price tag. Panasonic Cameras Panasonic LX-5 ($400)

So, with credit to Catalin for the idea, here are my twelve favourites for the preceding year. As always, let me know what you think. On a different matter: don't forget that there are just a few days left in which to snap up a 15% discount on our Photoshop tutorials. And finally: Happy New Year for 2010 :)

Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face | COLT + RANE Colt + Rane Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face Dazzling Fireflies Display The magic of fireflies caught by long exposure photographs taken in Japan. As the original source is the Japanese language website Digital Photo Blog we don’t have a lot of information about the photographers, but it seems that these photos were taken in the rainy months of June and July in Maniwa, Japan in recent years - the most recent photos are dated 2011, the earliest 2008. We’ve found some information – and more prosaic photos – about Japanese fireflies at the Tokyo Hotaru website; hotaru is the Japanese word for fireflies. There is a nice short article on the significance of hotaru in Japanese society here and you’ll find a second enchanting photo gallery of firefly photos by Rei Ohara here. Thanks to César Couto for finding these photos.
