Since it’s fall, the late afternoon sun now streams in through the windows onto my face. I have to wear my New York Yankees cap like 50 Cent to keep the sun out of my eyes.

I used my Macintrash’s built in camera and Photo Booth to make the piture. I don’t know what’s up with the Warhol effect.

Photoshop has a convert to grayscale function that will turn your color image into a black and white one. On DL.TV, Photoshop expert Alex Lindsay shows you a better way to convert color pictures to black and white .

The marine layer was drifting overhead, obscuring my view of the eclipse. Once in a while it was clear enough, I could make a photograph:

Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikkor 300mm f4.5
Exposure: ISO 1600, 2 sec. @ f4.5

Yellowfin Tuna, Monterey Bay Aquarium. Nikon D70, 18-70 f3.5-f4.5, 27mm, f3.8, 1/10 sec, ISO 400. 7-23-07, 4:48:23 PM PDT.

From CNET News: “NASA is celebrating the 17th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, which launched in April 1990…”

All I can say is the photographs are amazing.

Digital Photography Review has a review by Phil Askey of the Nikon 10.2 megapixel D80 SLR Digital Camera.

Digital Photography Review has a preview by Phil Askey and Simon Joinson of a pre-production Leica M8. The camera will be shown at Photokina, the big photography show in Germany, at the end of the month.

This is the first digital Leica M-body. My first Leica was an M3. So far I’ve only made it to a Leica M4-2. Cartier-Bresson would probably be happy with an M8.

Thanks to Mitch Polikoff, Evins Communications, Ltd. and Christian Erhardt, Leica Camera Inc. / Marketing Manager for the M8 image.

I found this Impressionistic image while retouching the wires out of the snow on the hills.
