London Rising Tide (LRT) is urging members of the public to shun the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. The LRT is asking photographers to send in images illustrating how Shell has impacted on the environment, which will be used to publicize the Art Not Oil campaign. Both the Natural History Museum and Shell feel that Shell’s sponsorship is appropriate.

Ok, I know that worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is over for this year but what better time than to be thinking about your next pinhole masterpiece. What’s more these guys have just the camera for you. That’s right! No more messing around with cereal boxes or old tobacco tins. Now you can release the pinhole Ninja in you and whip-up a state-of-the-art pinhole camera faster than Jackie Chan can re-load a Leica

Charley’s visually arresting narratives juxtapose complex diametrically opposed realities using a combination of self-presentation and still life techniques with almost Zen like simplicity.
It is this artful combination of simplicity of form and complexity of ideas that makes her work so seductive. We are confronted by conflicting symbols and without realising it, find ourselves embroiled in the complex subjectivity of truth and reality.

Until early 2005 a fast normal prime lens for an APS-C class DSLR meant either a 35mm f/2 or going into hock for a 35mm f/1.4. Having been impressed with the general consensus with regards to the Sigma 30mm f/1.4’s performance I decided to purchase this lens in August 2006 as my primary walk-around lens for my new Canon EOS 30D. After using it for two months I felt ready to talk about my experiences with it.

I don’t usually comment on the annnouncement of new lenses but this announcement had me come over all deja-vu. “Que?” I said to myself. Didn’t Sigma release this very same lens over 12-18 months ago?
In fact Phil over at DPReview states that this “should be an interesting alternative to the often poor kit lenses bundled with sub-$1000 digital SLRs” and I guess technically he’s right except that this smacks more of a cosmetic upgrade than a significant re-design. Now, don’t get me wrong I love Sigma lenses in fact I bought and own three of them for my Canon 30D and all three I consider near to or at the top of their class.
