This Week in Photography
As reported in The Star, Polaroid devotees bring back film. With the growing popularity of digital photography, the entire industry of camera film – including Polaroid – has been suffering. Polaroid entirely discontinued the manufacture of their instant cameras and the film that goes with them. Yet an intrepid group from the Netherlands is determined [...]
Documentary Photography
We owe a lot to those photographers who travel to far-off places, and sometimes put their own lives in danger, to document events, the environment, and humanity at its best and its worst. They bring home images to us that we’d never be able to personally experience, or even know about, without their efforts. Such [...]
Post Processing: How much is too much?
I was reading a magazine today and I came across this news item about a photojournalist being disqualified from the Danish Press Photo Awards for excessive manipulation of photographs using Photoshop. He was asked to submit the original RAW files for some of his pictures and there was an unbelievable difference in the original and [...]
Photography in the News; Name your dream assignment
I’ve become engrossed in this site where they pose the question: What is your dream assignment?

Photography in the News: Walking Classes
Before I jump into today’s post I wanted to apologize for not posting Thursday and Friday. I had posts scheduled to be published using the tool Windows Live! but publish they did not. So you’ll get a double dose of Beyond Megapixels a few times this week. Does anyone use an application to do your [...]
Photography in the News: You never know who you’re shooting
I read this article this weekend in the NY Times about a photographer that did a shoot ten years ago with Madoff (the investor that sunk himself and many others in a scheme of epic proportions). This had me thinking though, you never know who you’re shooting. You never really know who they are going [...]
Photography in the News: Groundhogs
Today is Groundhogs Day. Not exactly a holiday – it doesn’t get me out of work and unfortunately it’s not going to make the gray of winter move along faster. In a few minutes some well dressed man with a top hat will reach his hand into the hole of a Groundhog pull him out [...]
