 After a 12-month beta period that tapped the brains of 500,000 photographers, Adobe Systems this week released Photoshop Lightroom 1.0.
Designed primarily for pros, the tool allows users to import, manage and present large volumes of digital images. The software has added new functions since beta began; Lightroom's Library function, for example, now lets users employ keywords to help sort through large image collections, as well as better organize photographs.

Say what you will about pinhole photography -- but it's hard to argue with its staying power. As we approach Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day on April 29, 2007, we prepare to celebrate a form of lens-less image-making that has been around since the time of Aristotle.

Anyone, anywhere in the world, who makes a pinhole photograph on the last Sunday in April, can scan it and upload it to this website where it will become part of the annual Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day celebration's online gallery.

 From Rich Legg, digital photography enthusiast:
What you are seeing is a capture of a lightbulb in the process of burning out. To create the shot, my friend Harley and I removed the glass enclosure of a standard household lightbulb (while leaving the innards intact) and powered it up in a pitch black room. The result was an immediate burn-out ... The red hue on the smoke was added in post-processing.
See an enlarged view of the image here.

The last few times I've flown, I requested a window seat so I could photograph what was outside -- sometimes the clouds, sometimes the rivers and fields, sometimes the skyscrapers below. Especially interesting was making the same cross-country trip during different seasons and comparing what the landscape looked like during summer and then during winter.

Soundslides is a tool designed to create audio slide shows from still images. Originally made for journalists but available to anyone for the cost of $39.95, it creates Macromedia Flash files that are publishable on the Web.
Poynter Online published an interview with Soundslides creator and photojournalist Joe Weiss in which he shares his belief in the continued importance of audio slideshows:
The assumption has been that ... video storytelling on the Web will eventually overtake still photography on the Web. The problem is that I have no way of knowing if that's true or not, and no one else does either.
