Hello, world ! Welcome to the weblog of Kristof Willen. This is the place where I publish some weird and interesting links I encountered during my dwellings in cyberspace. Apart from that, you can find some useful/useless information about myself.

All right, so you got your Canon Rebel but are confused about all these terms about focal length, aperture and white balance ? Fear not, cause here's Bernie's geek guide to photography, to transform you into the better paparazzo.
And while we're at it, here's some tips to make better pictures with (let's admit it) your crappy mobile phone camera.

The pictures from the 2007 Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar Contest winners give a startling overview from the last year headlines.

One of the wonderful things about digital photography is the creativity that you can engage in once you’ve got your image on your computer and in photoshop. All kinds of effects can be achieved to make your shots look any number of ways. Here are twelve in-camera hacks to experiment with to get more abstract and artistic shots

My old camera, a Canon Powershot A10, is now more than 5 years old. Time for an update. This 1.3 megapixel camera served pretty well, so I decided to look for a new Canon camera (never change a winning team). I first thought about getting me the Powershot A710, but after some reviews, I decided I wanted a camera with some more zooming power. Enter the Powershot S3, a 12x zoom camera with 6 megapixels. Some nice features are color enhancements; have a look at this example.
Boy, I though there would be a threshold about the number of pixels cameras would support, but the race isn't finished yet : I see cameras featuring 10 megapixels. How on earth do they keep the noise out of these ?

As Christmas and New Year approach, many geeks expect shiny new toys. Imaging-resource.com has many detailed helpful reviews of digital cameras.
