While I like bloodthirsty imagery as much as the next man and was once a martial artist (a mediocre one), after a good ten minutes looking through the stream I started yearning for a picture of kittens or a sunset! Brilliantly executed photographs though, you have to hand it to him he definitely captures the moment.

Getty Images World Cup Photography
I am not interested at all in the world cup but I am interested in photography. Photographers from Getty Images have been blogging about sports photography and apart from the sports aspect I have found it really interesting reading.
There are descriptions of what it is like photographing such a big event plus some great tips for anyone interested in this field (pardon the pun)
take one goal scorer (in this case Henrik Larsson of Sweden), one goalkeeper, (Paul Robinson of England) and then mix together with the two missing ingredients. One is obviously the ball. The other, which is often over-looked, but for me makes the picture complete, is the goal post. The goal post helps us place the other ingredients in the right context. You can see that it’s a goal and not just another missed chance.

39 Megapixels all put to good use
Luminous-landscape has gotten all hot under the collar over the picture below, but not for the reason you might think …
A sure sign that Spring is just around the corner (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere at least) is that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition hit the newsstands yesterday. What may draw this to the attention of photographers (besides blatant prurient interest, or a fascination with the latest swimsuit fashions) is that photographer William Hawkes used the new 39 Megapixel Phase One P45 back to take this shot for a Budweiser beer ad. The reproduction size in the magazine is one of the largest ever; a fold-out measuring 11”x34” (27.94cm x 86.36cm). This ensures that almost every teenage boy in America will paste this large poster to their bedroom wall. The fact that it’s an ad for beer will likely never enter their consciousness, and that it was shot with a P45 back, not at all. But those of us interested in the latest photographic technology will take note. When you purchase your copy of SI this week, be sure that you let the pharmacist knows that you’re purchasing it purely to look at resolution figures

How long will it be before we have 40 megapixels in our own DSLRs? Not long I expect, the march of technology continues …
