Not a new phenomenon but certainly more and more in the collective consciousness, taking pictures (gasp!) of children (gasp!) even when they’re *your* children is deemed “inappropriate”.

HDRI lighting tutorial added
I just added a tutorial using Photoshop to create a template to make HDRIs from scratch, specifically for directed at Cheetah3D, but exactly the same applies for anything that can use HDRIs in a scene.

The ‘Nova’ Solar Camera Bag
As a dog on TV once said: “I want one!”
From the product page: “The Nova Solar Camera / Gear Bag gives the photographer an extra power source in the great outdoors. The large cavity bag can handle a digital SLR camera and 3 lenses with room for more accessories. The bag features adjustable dividers and foam to customize the interior to fit your specific camera gear needs.”
Canon 400D looks maybe interesting…
Engadget: Canon China spills beans on new DSLR. It looks sort of interesting, with its full-frame 10.1 megapixels and ultra-sonic dust removal. Nothing amazing, though, really. (And am I the only one not following these Canon EOS DSLR naming conventions?)
What looks more interesting, though, is the new EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens also announced, along with the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM, which as far as I can tell, a lot of people have been asking for (the IS part, of course…)
[UPDATE: So, it turns out it’s an APS-C sensor…]
Flickr Pro
Finally, I decided to upgrade to a Flickr Pro account! You can see the pix at http://www.flickr.com/photos/domipix/
PHP5 upgrade
Stick with us while I work out what’s missingfiring after having upgraded to PHP5… most likely a plugin or two.
UPDATE: looks like the flickr plugins – soon sort that out…
Canon EOS 5D DSLR rumours flying around
Over on [domi.co.uk](http://domi.co.uk/) I’ve just added a [piece](http://domi.co.uk/2005/08/10/canon-5d-dslr-rumour-mill/) about the supposed new Canon DSLR, the EOS 5D. If it turns out to be as the rumours are saying, it looks like a decent DSLR.
