Indecent Exposure 48: Engilded excursions
Lori works through her ambivalence about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1; video for vacationers; in praise of point and shoots; and sunrise/sunset without the "Fiddler on the Roof."

More on tilt/shift lenses
I want to ask you something first. Can you please talk more about the tilt-and-shift lens. I imagine myself a tilt-and-shift as a lensbaby 3g (control freak in v2.0) that only lets you move the lens up, down, left, right (the tilt part) but I don't know what the "shift" part does, can you please illuminate me how a tilt-and-shift lens works.

Summer 2009 Camcorder Choices?
As families prepare for Summer Vacations can you take a moment to talk about the latest video cameras.
- New Developments
- Top Three Choices
- Emerging Tech: What are the expert thoughts on products such as the Canon EOS Rebel T1i and their video capabilities? Can you kill two birds with one stone i.e. picture & video in one product?
Senior Editor Lori Grunin has been covering digital imaging for two decades, but her memory's kind of sketchy on the details. You can hear about it every week on Indecent Exposure, the podcast she co-hosts with Matt Fitzgerald.
Lori Grunin has been an avid photographer for almost 30 years, and spent the past 15 attempting to master every aspect of technology.
Matt Fitzgerald has been involved with digital camera technology and the photo industry for more than 15 years. Matthew's background includes work as a professional photographer, a technical representative, and a repair technician.
Loved the contest entries last week and the winner and honorable mention are both fantastic, well done.
I won't get chance to get any new car pic's this week so thought I might go with this one...a slightly different take on the theme.

It's funny how getting my photos organized in Aperture inspired me to finally get stuff on Flickr which reinvigorated the photo bug that had languished somewhat which inspired me to get a proper DSLR finally (film gets expensive quickly! I was also unhappy with the low-light sensitivity of the old Ultra-zoom I had been using).
As it was car related I thought it would be good for the CNET competition.

Less a photograph more of a treasured 'Snapshot' this week...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/grapemac/3551577021/
Dunnnnn, dun dun... Note Watch
('Gadgettes' reference there, look at me being all cross-podcastular...)
was digging through the archives and came across this and lest you think the car is not the subject I felt it evoked those old dog-eared family portraits that every family seems to hoard of everyone stood proudly by the new car, beaming and generally being very 'Kellogg's boxy'...
Taken on the same vacation as last week's entry.
That's the whole family there, me on the right, you've got to love tripods, self timers and that special breed of self interest that comes from never actually being in family photos...
Oh and I also dig the totally posed 'unopposed' feel makes me giggle...
One last thing I feel like we may have crossed a line here, I mean I'm actually sharing my boring-ass family holiday snaps with you... Would you by any chance care for a cup of tea?
Looking forward to next week's contest, keep doing what you do...

There are a lot of traditional framing stores here in Columbus, OH and there are tons of supply stores. Since I am making prints larger than 11x14 it is hard to find pre-cut matte board let alone a stand alone wooden/metal frame of any kind. Maybe I should just invest in a matte-board cutter and/or start up this photographers co-op.
Thanks Again,
Isaiah

- I know I shouldn't really post twice, but I was just shooting this week and realized that this shot was a perfect train-geek take on cars:
