Tim Hearn | Gallery
My good friend Mr Tim Hearn takes photo’s of wildlife. He’s been travelling the world for years taking said photo’s and he’s actually got pretty good – as you can now see on his new blog item which is here.
Good work Mr Tim Hearn.
GlastoTag
Orange is aiming for the Guinness World Record for the ‘most people tagged in an online photo’ with this 1,300-megapixel picture captured at around 3.45pm on 23 June right infront of the Pyramid Stage. When you find yourself, (as several of our office seemed to have over the weekend), just drag the tag marker to the relevant position in the huge big photo and tag it.
Awesome.

Sony NEX-5 | Quick Review
The NEX-5 is apparently the smallest APS-C hybrid digital camera yet, delivering image quality to match a digital SLR. The camera has interchangeable (alpha) lenses, a 14-megapixel APS-C format sensor, flip-up screen, background blur, twilight mode, continous shooting at 7 frames per second and full HD movies with live autofocus. The interface is pretty simple (kinda like a Cyber-Shot), with navigation mainly via a scroll wheel on the digital display. There’s also a handy “shooting tips” function – which is essentially an in-camera manual for the photographically retarded like myself. Shooting wise, the camera is very responsive. I love the old-school shutter action and the lack of lag – plus the continuous shooting setting is freaking awesome.
I’m no photographer, but this is by far the best (compact) camera I have used. The features, settings and image quality are top-notch, without the bulk and complexity of a DSLR. If you’re thinking of buying a new compact and you can stretch to around £500 – I’d highly recommend you get yourself an NEX-5.

A Thousand Shades Of Gray | Jimmy Hansen
“A Thousand Shades of Gray” is the unmasking of the scars produced by a digital scalpel and brush. The cost of the corrections of the original photo that attempts to fulfill societies ideals and demands. When this material is taken from its original context it can become frightening, raw, fascinating and even enchanting in its naked absurdity.

TiltShiftGen
The 5th release from the ToyCamera series, TiltShiftGen enables you to create pretty convincing tilt/shift pictures. I’ve messed about with a few of these toys, but this one (originally an AIR app) is the best I’ve used. I took these today out of front/rear window:

Thank you Atkatz for the heads-up.
Where Video Games Come From
:
Another awesome series of photographs from the French games/fashion mag Amusement. ‘Photographer Marc Da Cunha Lopes (“aisakie“) shows us the factory work behind the most iconic games of the past few decades: the smelting of Sonic‘s rings, the chiseling of the 1-Up mushroom, and the rubber-pressed rebounding blocks of Arkanoid.’

Nintendo DSi Vs Facebook | Part II
Contrary to my post yesterday (below) the facility to upload photo’s from Dsi to Facebook is not only available in Japan. Following a system update style event last night, I discovered that the function is available locally:
It’s pretty fast and, as you’d imagine, dead easy. Plus, it actually gives the (pretty fun) photo suite on the DSi a bit more of a purpose.
Nice.
