Tennis bloopers from the Legg Mason Tennis Classic — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 23:22:39 +0000

[...] Several days ago, I posted photos from the Legg Mason Tennis Classic, and promised I’d post some more blooper-type tennis photos. I got around to it today, and spent a couple of hours sorting through and processing some pretty funny photos. I posted them to this set over at Flickr. A few are enclosed below as well. Enjoy, and I hope you’ll realize they’re all in done in good fun, not to hurt or offend the players portrayed in them. [...]

A look at the Olympus Stylus 770 SW — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 01:05:01 +0000

[...] At the same Olympus PR event I attended last week, Michael Bourne from Mullen demonstrated the new Olympus Stylus 770 SW (Shock and Waterproof camera). It’s a very sturdy camera, enclosed in an all-metal housing that can not only withstand drops from up to 5 feet and water pressure up to 33 feet, but can also take up to 220 lbs. of pressure. Ligia and I have been looking for a new point-and-shoot, and this looks like it might be the camera we want. [...]

Those Didik cars are something, that’s for sure! Yup, saw some of the earliest videos of Jansen’s creations back in 2004. Very cool stuff!

Thanks Raoul! Stop by anytime.
I like that HumanCar video you posted. Reminded me a bit of some of the imaginative human powered vehicles Frank Didik has designed: http://www.didik.com/art/
Oh, and have you seen this cool wind-powered kinetic sculptures by Theo Jansen?

Thanks Julie! The Live View feature on the E-410 and E-510 is much, much better than what you’d see on point-and-shoot digital cameras. For one thing, the same sensor used for photographs is used for it, not some really cheap and tiny secondary sensor with poor resolution. This means two things: (1) the quality of the view you get through it is great and (2) what you see is what you get. What I mean by last point is that you can expect the photo to look the same as what you see on screen. This is because the sensor isn’t off to the side somewhere, and no angle adjustment needs to take place between the screen and what the camera records. The Live View is dynamically adjusted based on your aperture, ISO, white balance and image stabilization settings. It’s pretty cool indeed.

Look forward to that E-510 review. I’m still shooting with my E-300 and I’ve got to say that I still love that DSLR. I’ve heard some good things about it. Live View is the one feature I wish the 300 had.
