Excellent selection of subtle and beautiful.

Check out the Making of Double Exposure video on Youtube too.

Sounds great, cant wait to see what Nikon comes up with

Dear Elja,
I too have a bunch of Bad photographs taken by me, I keep it for review and learn from that, some time I use effects to make it a fine art look..
.......Photo-recycle.
I loved and learnt few things from the links you shared... thx.

Just downloaded the first Light It Magazine. The 359 MB download took less than 2 minutes. First impression is very good! Great quality images and video and the articles by or about (among others) Joe McNally, Jeremy Cowart, Zack Arias, Scott Kelby (of course) and Matt Kloskowski look great.

Even the smallest image in an article can be blown up to full-screen.
Time for some reading!

Nice! I've seen the Awkard Family Photos blog (some are actually pretty good photos) but I didn't know the other two.

I've downloaded the eBook en copied it to my iPad. Thanks!
Looks like a great read for my upcoming holiday.

It always annoyed me I had to open up DPP before I could see the RAW files.
Thanks, this works great!

Very Creative and innovative video, enjoyed... Thanks sharing Trum

@Elja if you read the Terms of Service they explicitly state that the license is for syndication purposes only not advertising. Your evaluation that uploaded work could be used in a Google ad campaign is unfounded. Numerous articles, many by lawyers, have been published to date with none airing such a concern.

This is reiterating what was said in the FUD post Buzzregog pointed out, but the point of these terms is so that the Goog isn't vulnerable to being sued into oblivion simply because they've altered (EG: cropping) or copied (EG: presenting the photo to other people, which causes it to download to their PCs) on copyright violation grounds.

Basically every serious photo or image sharing website in existence has similar terms. I don't see the problem - if you're not wanting that content to be vulnerable to sharing via sites like these, then don't upload it in the first place.

@Buzzregog; As you could see in the post, I did actually add the parts Scott left out. It's still worth knowing for photographers.

Might want to check facts a bit before reposting another blogger

Fud over Googles Terms of Service

Looks to me like these lenses might be a bit soft, I prefer my images sharp!

whats that for? a typical fanboy doesn´t have neither a DSLR nor the
knowledge to mount a lens on a xPhone

@Jim; I like your article and I don't think Google will really misuse the photos uploaded to their services. But according to their TOS they could use your photo for a world wide promotional campaign for their services without you ever seeing a penny for it.

@Pierrick; Dropbox did write a blogpost to explain what they want with their TOS. Guess it comes down to the same thing said by Jim in his blog.

Your analysis is quite broad and unfounded. Not every new site is out to steal photos. I walk through the sections you've quoted in my blog post about how I evaluate ToS documents in general, using Google+ as an example. I wonder if you'd feel the same way after reading it.
evaluate terms of service

Last week, Dropbox changed their TOS (terms of services) to add the same statement. Then a huge amount of messages on Twitter said something like "I leave Dropbox, I do not agree with their new TOS". I don't blame Dropbox, but I was impressed by the reaction of users: it seems like a few people care about the use of their own data by the service provider.

I wrote a post on my blog about it.

Of course, Google+ has the same "free to use" statement. So does Flickr, as far as I can see in the Yahoo! TOS...

Great looking poster!
Love to get one for in my studio. Perhaps I'll order one.

Lytro also released a 3D video to demonstrate the 3D effect. You can also switch focus in 3D images, the video shows.

Promising technology!
I'm curious to see the final specs of the camera they are preparing for launch.

So a 16 megapixel sensor will translate into a 0.9 megapixel final image? Only useful for internet display. But still a great development!

Here is Similar Story about photography

Canon has announced a new entry-level telephoto zoom lens for its EOS range of digital SLRs. The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II is an upgraded version of the existing EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens, which will continue to be offered in bundles with Canon EOS digital SLR camera bodies.

The upgrades to the Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens are purely cosmetic — a platinum ring sits in front of the lens’ zoom ring, and the body of the lens is finished in a faux-leather texture. Like the previous version of the lens, the EF-S 55-250mm has an internal image stabiliser that floats lens elements to eliminate camera shake during shooting.

I don't really think about this kind of rules when photographing, but I think a lot of my photos will fit the rule. Thanks for the clear explanation.

Impressive work by Nick Risinger.
The photo is pretty stunning to browse through!

Very enjoyable!
Thanks for sharing.
