COMEBACK? Digital SLRs To Return - Duncan Alfreds: Cape Town - Digital photography is entering a new phase of separating into two categories, a manufacturer has said. Smartphones are eliminating point-and-shoot cameras as smartphones improve in the quality of lenses and features to take a variety of images that were previously the exclusive domain of standard cameras. But according to Fujifilm, the latest range of its X series of cameras allows users to be more expressive than a smartphone currently permits.

YOUR OWN "ICE LIGHT"… FOR UNDER $20 - Tim Barribeau: “An Ice Light is an incredible piece of lighting technology: a dimmable, even, LED light source with a built-in battery that's great for portrait photography. But at $500 a pop, it's probably a bit out of reach for many people. Simon Ellingworth at DIY Photography, however, has put together a terrific guide on how to make your own LED light on the cheap. Sure, it might not be nearly as well built, or have the same amount of control as a real Ice Light, but for less than $20, you can have a tool that does something remarkably similar. http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2013/04/03/make-your-own-ice-light-for-under-20

CAN'T FIND YOUR PHOTO? -- David Behrens: “One of the many joys of digital photography is that your pictures are always at hand, no matter how many thousands you’ve taken. Searching for the one you want is just a matter of clicking a few buttons. At least it is if you have a good photo database – one that catalogues your snaps and files them away neatly in a sort of digital shoebox, whilst at the same time displaying them attractively on screen. Yet, good databases can be hard to find, especially if like me you have a collection running into tens of thousands. This is shoe-boxing on an Imelda Marcos scale.

Exif4Film Helps Analog Photographers Infuse Metadata into Film Photos
One of the big conveniences of shooting digital is that your pictures pop out with useful details baked into the EXIF data. Exif4Film is a tool that makes recording EXIF information easier for film photographers. It comes as a pair of programs: an Android app helps shooters store specific details as soon as photos are captured, and a desktop application takes the Android app data and automatically adds it to your film scans. The apps are completely free, and developer Kostas Rutkauskas tells us that they’re planning to open-source the project soon. If you’re an Android user and analog shooter, give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

Daid Galbraith: Slit-Scan Photographs Make for Psychedelic Photo Finishes “Slit-scan photography works much like a rolling shutter does—the sensor continually collects image data but the shutter never actually closes, hence its use in determining a "photo finish"—whatever crosses the camera's view first, appears first in the photo set.
