Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 Review

© Christopher Griffith. Christopher Griffith had nothing less than a radical reinterpretation of American iconography in mind when he assembled a crew to travel the sideways and byways of a forgotten America to shoot everyday, utilitarian things found dotting our contemporary landscape. Griffith and his team constructed huge backdrops around each painstakingly selected specimen, creating stark, decontexturalized and utterly magnificent renderings of the myriad of things we see and forget without noticing. Griffith’s first solo exhibition opens on April 15th, 2010 at the Randall Scott Gallery in Brooklyn.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 is a new 14 megapixel compact camera with an ultra-wide angle 24-140mm 5x lens, complete with fast f/2.8 aperture, ISO 3200 and SteadyShot anti-shake system. The W380 has a raft of auto features aimed at improving your pictures, from the Easy shooting mode for complete beginners to the Sweep Panorama mode that never fails to impress. Heavily based on the WX1 camera that we enthusiastically reviewed at the end of 2009, does the Sony W380 succeed in bringing a similar feature set to a wider audience? Read our Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380 review to find out...
Christopher Griffith trained to be a research biochemist in the field of genetic engineering before quitting four months shy of his PhD to take up photography. He has spent eight years in Europe working for Arena, Wallpaper, and the international editions of Vogue and Elle. Upon his return to the U.S. he spent four months on the road photographing “States.” Born in Canada, Griffith was raised in the U.S. and educated in

Life holds such great pleasure. Like fresh laundered socks, the smell of library books, the release of a brand new version of Photoshop … Though sometimes it’s easy to forget the most simplest of all: the snap of a camera shutter. Pure. Beauty. Which is why we love our new Keep Calm and Snap On Prints. Their sharp design (and vibrant colors) look mighty fine. But best of all, they remind us to sit back, breathe, and put a camera in our hands. Ahh yeah.

Create a Black and White Color Combination Photograph in Photoshop
Six years ago this week, the Bangladesh government formed the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) to crack down on criminals. Human rights organizations report that RAB has killed more than 1,000 citizens. ”Crossfire,” a new photo exhibition by Shahidul Alam that opened in Dhaka, Bangladesh on March 22, examines sites where the extrajudicial killings took place, often before dawn.
MAR 24, 2010 05:40A.M. I decided that all the photographs would be taken when most of the killings had taken place,” Alam told PDN in an interview. “Since there were many references to the flashlights that RAB used … I decided to use a torch as the primary source of light for all the images. This also allowed me to carefully position the light to work with available light. Most of the images involved long exposures. The feelings I hoped people would go away with were fear, foreboding, but also a sense of belonging. A sense that this was a scary manifestation of places and things that were familiar.”
You’ve seen this Black and White/ Color effect just about everywhere and one of the reasons why is it doesn’t take much time to do in Photoshop. First, you’ll need an understanding of layers. Here you can see I’ve duplicated the layer using the shortcut, “command J”, then using the channel mixer I turned the [...]

Police tried, unsuccessfully, to stop the exhibition’s opening on Monday. “I believe the only space for a journalist is at the edge, and it is only when you are feeling the heat that you can hope to be effective, so yes, there is an element of fear, both for me and for my colleagues, and I have discussed it with my colleagues,” Alam told PDN. “My colleagues have asked me to stop cycling and be driven to places, but I found that too restrictive, but am being careful when I’m moving about.”
