Pocket : Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 Review

Pocket : Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 Review: "The 60x zoom runs all the way up to a 35 SLR equivalent of 1200mm but — note this! — it begins from a super wide 20mm equivalent. That means you can shoot close shots of sports players from the sidelines and then cover cramped interiors with the same camera. You can also buy a 1.7x tele conversion lens that will take the focal length to 2040mm! Beat that!"

Pocket : Shooting With Intent

Pocket : Shooting With Intent: "A good friend of mine is passionate about photography, and she recently acquired a reminder of the way she approaches photography.  A tattoo that wraps around her bicep that states simply “Shoot With Intent”. This is one of the biggest lessons a beginning photographer can learn.  It’s very easy to go out with a camera, set it on AUTO, and come back with some nice, perhaps even great images."

Pocket : How to Restore Old, Damaged Photos

Pocket : How to Restore Old, Damaged Photos: "Perhaps one of the most important things we do as portrait photographers is preserve memories.  While the digital era and its ever-evolving technology have made it easier to ensure that the photos we take today will last longer than their analog counterparts, there are still things we can do to help preserve memories captured before the advent of the pixel.  Several years ago, I came across a sizable collection of very old family photos and started scanning them.  Unfortunately, some had already been damaged to one degree or another.  Fading, creasing, staining, and tearing had all left their marks, and the fact that some of these photos were close to 100 years old did not help their cause."
