A few people have asked "How do you produce those pictures where everything is black and white except the eyes?"

Well, ask no more, I have created a video tutorial for you all to view.

Let me know if it helps, and if you would like to see more....if you would like more, let me know on what subject.

Cheers,

Hi All,

Been rather busy lately, so sadly not got any photography done recently.

Bought a TomTom One which is a great little gadget, definately helps someone like myself, who is bloody awful with directions!

The little one (Elise) is growing up SO quickly, and can now sit up by herself, and she has starting saying Daddad, which is so sweet.  She has a bit of an eye infection at the moment, so I have had to get up at 2am to clean her eyes.

She has also started playgroup, so its nice for her to interact with other children.

Anyhoo, my apologies for not being around recently, and I am sorry I havent had a chance to comment on everyones photography as much as I would have liked.

Here are a few of my favourites from your recent submissions:

What your seeing above is just a taster, I would urge you to visit each of the individuals galleries, as there is some excellent talent there.  I am just sorry that I havent had time to comment on all the superb work that has been submitted.

Also, just recently bought Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds new album Dig Lazarus Dig.....its an awesome album, check it out!

Take care everyone!

Cheers,

Ben

Canon have released the new 450D

Interesting to note a couple of things..... no longer using Compact Flash cards.  It has live view.
Kit comes with the Image Stabalised lense as on the 40D.

Excerpt:

Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi
Thursday, 24 January 2008  04:00 GMT< Previous  Next > Pre-PMA 2008: Canon has today announced a new compact digital SLR, the twelve megapixel EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi). On the surface a very similar camera to the EOS 400D, however there are a range of significant improvements; twelve megapixel CMOS sensor, 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with both AF modes (contrast-detect and passive), 14-bit processing and RAW, spot metering, improved AF, 3.5 fps continuous shooting, a larger viewfinder, SD/SDHC storage and a new higher capacity battery. All in all a fairly impressive range of usage oriented improvements and refinements.

(Taken from DP Review, not my own comments)

Personally, I think a logical upgrade would be to the Canon 40D, but as an entry level, it looks pretty damn good....(why no CF though Canon!!)
