Found this video journal at The Wall Street Journal website, look at the simple lighting.

This is something that would be easy to re-create with speedlight type flashes like the Nikon SB-800, Nikon SB-28 or the Canon 580 EX.

Look here for other examples of 'a one light approuch' to portrait photography, or just hover over the The Wall Street Journal-logo in the video above to get a menu of more journals.

It has been a long time coming, but now it is finally here, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is available to the public.

Here is a YouTube time-lapse of a photo shoot Michael Grecco did of director Martin Scorsese. You can read about it in this blog, part 1 and part 2.

'Karsh: A Sixty-Year Retrospective', this is a book that is going to be high up on my list for Christmas.

The Nikon D200, as good as it is, I've always disliked the standard (Canon like) Nikon D200 eye piece, here is what you do to replace the DK-21 with a better one (in my opinion anyway).

The standard is the Nikon DK-21. To replace this with something that actually block your side vision we need a bigger cup.

Here are the parts you need:

• Nikon DK-3 rubber eye cup
• Nikon eyepiece adapter (ring)
• Nikon eyepiece adapter (shoe)

Now you will have an eyepiece that is big enough to press your eye into and effectively block light entering your eye from the side. The nice thing about this is that it's cheap, a mere $26.85.

So, head on over to B&H Photo Video and place your order.

A little warning: As I've used this combination on my D200 for some time now, I have found a weakness with the DK-22 adapter; it can break after I while if you remove/re-attach it to the camera body enough times, so be sure to get more of them so you have replacements when it happens.
