</div>
<p><strong>London, 26th August 2010</strong> – Canon  today unveils two lens extenders designed for its L-series range of new  super-telephoto lenses. Designed for photojournalists, nature and  sports photographers who need to get close to distant and challenging  subjects, the Extender EF 1.4x III and Extender EF 2x III increase the  focal length of a lens by a factor of 1.4x and 2x respectively while  still delivering superb image quality. To ensure the best possible image  quality in all shooting conditions, they also combine enhanced  environmental protection, redesigned optics and improved data  communication between lens and camera.</p>
<p><strong>Canon professional image quality</strong></p>
<p>Allowing professional photographers to shoot distant subjects without  having to carry a number of heavy lenses with them, these new extenders  ensure there is no compromise on image quality.  The Extender EF 1.4x  III features three lens groups of seven elements, and the Extender EF 2x  III features three groups of nine elements, ensuring improved optical  performance. All optical elements use Canon’s  Super Spectra coating, reducing ghosting and flare to minimise  post-processing requirements. A new Fluorine Coating on the front and  rear elements makes marks, such as spots left by water or fingerprints,  much easier to clean than standard coatings.</p>
<p>To facilitate the accurate transfer of imaging data between the lens  and camera body, both models feature an integrated processor which  ensures all focusing, metering and ID information is available –  allowing the photographer to capture crisp, well-exposed images. When  combined with the latest range of premium Canon  L-series lenses, these extenders enable higher AF accuracy compared to  previous generations, ensuring professionals achieve perfectly sharp  shots, even when capturing moving subjects.</p>
<div id="attachment_4844"><a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/2tc.jpg"><img title="2tc" src="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/2tc.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="183" /></a>Canon TC 2.0 III</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Redesigned for high performance</strong></p>
<p>The Extender EF 1.4x III and Extender EF 2x III have been designed to  complement the latest range of L-series lenses, matching their  appearance and offering a visible differentiation from previous models. A  carefully positioned lens release mechanism also makes it easy to mount  the extenders quickly, reducing the time that the camera and lens are  exposed to the environment. The extenders offer the exceptional  build-quality expected from Canon’s  professional products, and are resistant to both dust and water,  allowing photographers to use them in extreme shooting conditions.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>London, UK, 26th August 2010</strong> – Canon  today announces the latest addition to its world-famous EOS series of  Digital SLR (DSLR) cameras – the new EOS 60D. Replacing the EOS 50D, the  EOS 60D is designed for photographers who want to take their skills to  the next level, offering high performance, a series of creative  features, a Vari-angle LCD screen and enhanced ergonomics – empowering  photography enthusiasts to capture outstanding stills and Full High  Definition (HD) video for unique, creative results.</p>
<p><strong>High speed, high resolution</strong></p>
<p>With an 18 Megapixel APS-C sensor, the EOS 60D offers high levels of  detail and a magnification of 1.6x the focal length of the lens to  capture poster-size images in a variety of aspect ratios*1. Canon’s  powerful DIGIC 4 technology rapidly processes image information  captured from the CMOS sensor’s four-channel output, providing  outstanding colour reproduction, as well as high-speed shooting at  5.3fps in bursts of 58 full-resolution JPEGs.</p>
<p>A standard ISO range of 100-6400 is extendable to 12800, providing  smooth images with minimal noise in low light conditions. A 9-point, all  cross-type autofocus (AF) system also provides swift and accurate  focusing, with an extra-sensitive centre point for lenses faster than  f/2.8, allowing photographers to artistically employ a shallow depth of  field during portraiture or for more atmospheric shooting.</p>
<p>The EOS 60D features Canon’s iFCL  metering system, first introduced with the acclaimed EOS 7D, with a  63-zone Dual-Layer sensor.  Information on subject location is gathered  from the Auto Focus system, and is combined with colour and luminance  readings for consistent accurate exposures whatever the situation. The  Integrated Speedlite transmitter also provides in-camera control of  multiple EX flash units for more creative lighting.</p>
<p><strong>Shoot from all angles</strong></p>
<p>A new 7.7cm (3.0”) Vari-angle wide LCD monitor features a 3:2 aspect  ratio and a 1,040k dot resolution, providing added flexibility and  allowing photographers to view their images in incredible detail. The  Vari-angle wide LCD helps frame shots from difficult angles, and can be  positioned with Live View enabled to achieve the desired composition if  shooting isn’t possible using the viewfinder. The ability to capture  wildlife portraits, overhead shots or ground-level photography is  instantly enhanced, and the surface of the screen features an  anti-reflective, water-repellent coating to protect the screen allows  easy viewing in bright light and from a variety of angles.</p>
<p><strong>Empowering creativity</strong></p>
<p>A new Basic + function makes it easy for photographers to add their  own creative touch to images without worrying about changing settings.  Photographers can add ambiance to a scene by shooting according to  lighting and scene type, with Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sport,  Night Snapshot or Creative AUTO modes all available. Different effects  can be achieved by shooting with Basic + enhancements such as Daylight,  Cloudy or Sunset or pre-set Picture Styles including Vivid, Soft, Warm  or Monochrome.</p>
<p>Designed to provide power for those who wish to extend their creative  vision, the EOS 60D features a host of new functions that help capture  better images and in-camera effects to add an extra dimension. The  powerful DIGIC 4 processor supports in-camera RAW image processing,  allowing photographers to edit settings such as brightness, contrast,  white balance or correct distortion or chromatic aberration. The edited  image can then be resaved as a JPEG, ready to be printed or uploaded to a  PC or the web.</p>
<p>For photographers who want to add post-production effects to their  images without the need for expensive software, the EOS 60D also  features a range of new creative filters that can be applied in-camera.  Filters including Grainy B/W, Soft Focus, Toy Camera Effect and  Miniature Effect provide images with a different feel, allowing  photographers to create a themed collection – using Grainy B/W to give  images a reportage style, for example – or easily smooth skin tone in  portraits with Soft Focus.</p>
<p><strong>EOS Movies: Full HD video with complete control</strong></p>
<p>Offering photographers the freedom to go beyond stills, the EOS 60D  captures 1920&#215;1080p HD video with a variety of user-selectable frame  rates, including 30, 25 and 24fps, as well as 720p video at 60 and  50fps. Movie Crop mode is also available, recording with the central  640×480 pixel area of the sensor to create an effective magnification of  approximately seven times the focal length of the lens.</p>
<p>Full manual control in Movie mode allows photographers to employ  their own exposure and focus settings and take advantage of the effects  achieved from Canon’s wide range of EF  lenses. An external stereo microphone terminal and the ability to adjust  sound recording level ensures the audio track recorded matches the  visual quality of the video, capturing broadcast-quality sound.</p>
<p>For those who want to share images with friends and family, an  integrated HDMI port is compatible with Consumer Electronics Control  (HDMI-CEC), allowing video and images to be viewed on any compatible  HD-ready TV and controlled via the TV remote.</p>
<p><strong>Designed for flexibility</strong></p>
<p>The EOS 60D features a completely redesigned body, combining an  ergonomically enhanced, curved shape with a new button layout to make it  quick and comfortable for photographers to change settings. Frequently  used camera controls are grouped together for easy access, while the  Quick Control Dial, Multi-controller and SET button have all been merged  into one Multi Control Dial, enabling photographers to operate menus  and enter settings quickly using their thumb. The mode dial also  features a lock button, preventing unintentional changes to settings  mid-shoot.</p>
<p>A dedicated Quick Control access button allows photographers to  instantly reach the most common shooting settings and playback controls.  Customising the functions of a number of buttons is also possible,  allowing photographers to tailor the camera to suit their individual  needs. To help achieve landscapes with perfectly level horizons, a  horizontal Electronic Level can be displayed in the viewfinder or in  Live View to assist composition and remove any potential need for  post-production correction.</p>
<p>The EOS 60D is one of the latest Canon  models to support high-capacity SDXC memory cards, providing up to 2TB  of available space, allowing photographers to keep shooting HD video and  full resolution RAW and JPEG stills without changing cards. For better  management of larger image libraries on the camera, EOS 60D  photographers can add a rating of 1 to 5 to their favourite images,  allowing them to be easily located and viewed on-screen. Once  transferred from the camera to a PC, the tags can also be viewed using a  number of image editing and management programs, including Canon’s DPP software.</p>
<p><strong>Share the moment</strong></p>
<p>For photographers who want to transfer content wirelessly, the EOS  60D includes Eye-Fi connected functions*2. The EOS 60D features a  dedicated Eye-Fi section in the User Interface allowing WiFi  functionality to be turned off when not required to save battery life</p>
<p><strong>EOS 60D features at a glance:</strong></p>

<p>London, UK, 26 August 2010 – Canon today unveils the world’s first fisheye zoom lens offering both circular and full frame images, thanks to an extreme wide-angle focal range of 8-15mm. Replacing the EF 15mm f/2.8 fisheye, the new EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is the latest addition to Canon’s L-series range of professional lenses, providing outstanding image quality, constant aperture throughout the zoom range and a robust design for reliable shooting in challenging weather conditions.</p>
<p>When paired with Canon’s full-frame DSLR bodies, such as the EOS 5D Mark II or the EOS -1Ds Mark III, professional photographers can choose to capture circular or full-frame fisheye images, allowing them to view a scene in a completely new and unique way. This new level of choice provides enhanced creative flexibility when shooting scenes such as the night sky, where the full 180º horizontal and vertical fields of view (FOV) allow every detail to be captured with incredible clarity in one single image.</p>
<p>When used with EOS bodies featuring APS-C or APS-H sensors, the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM produces a more traditional, full frame fisheye view. A zoom-lock mechanism on the lens body allows the range to be limited to the focal length that ensures the best possible full-frame view without unsightly vignetting around the edge. ‘C’ and ‘H’ markings can be found next to the zoom operation ring, indicating the wide-angle zoom position where vignette-free shooting is possible with either sensor, allowing photographers to achieve optimum results with any EOS body.</p>
<p>Advanced optics for professional imaging</p>
<p>The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM showcases over 70 years of Canon’s optical engineering heritage, boasting 14 lens elements in 11 different groups, including one aspherical and one Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) element to correct chromatic aberration and produce high-quality, high-contrast shots with excellent colour reproduction.</p>
<p>Ghosting and flare caused by strong light sources can be a particular challenge when shooting at such a wide angle, and, in order to counteract these artefacts, all lens elements have been covered with Canon’s Super Spectra Coating. The inner surface of the front element also features Canon’s SubWavelength Structure Coating (SWC), which uses tiny cone-like structures, shorter than the wavelength of visible light on the surface of the lens element, to gradually slow light down until it is at the same speed as it travels through glass, removing the risk of flare occurring before the light reaches the sensor.</p>
<p>To maintain optimum image quality, the front and rear lens elements also feature a Fluorine Coating which actively repels water, dust and dirt, making it easier to clean the lens and leaving it unobstructed by particles.</p>
<p>Fast, accurate focusing and low light performance</p>
<p>The ultra-wide angle zoom of the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM offers a fresh take on sporting action or architecture shots, while the constant f/4.0 aperture allows faster shutter speeds to be employed for natural-looking images in low light.</p>
<p>A ring-type ultrasonic motor (USM), provides quick and accurate focusing when shooting and enables a full-time manual focus functionality allowing photographers to adjust the focus of any shot, even when the AF system is activated, for even greater control over image capture and improved creative flexibility.</p>
<p>Built for professional performance</p>
<p>The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM features a high-grade physical design that reflects its elite performance. High resistance to both dust and water enables it to be used in a range of challenging situations, and, when used with a professional EOS body, it allows continued shooting in the harshest weather conditions. The external design also features the new exterior texture, for a high quality look and feel indicative of all new L-series models.</p>
<p>High quality accessories</p>
<p>The EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM is supplied with a dedicated lens cap, lens pouch and a felt-lined lens hood EW-77 for use when using the zoom at the 15mm setting, preventing lens flare.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been exactly 10 years since Laird Hamilton rode a wave at Teahupoo that completely changed the way the world measures big waves.<br />
I still remember the noise of the wave breaking on the reef, It was like a Boeing 747 taking off&#8230;..I did not have my camera with me but friend Tim McKenna  scored one of the most beautiful photo &#8230;.<a href="http://http://www.timmckennaphoto.com"></a></p>

<p>“The Millennium Wave”. Teahupoo 17th August 2000 at 11.25 am, big wave tow-in legend, Laird Hamilton, entered the history books by riding the heaviest wave ever surfed. He had been in Tahiti for two weeks shooting a film with Jack McCoy for his sponsor Oxbow. I was production co-ordinator while also shooting stills for advertising and editorial purposes. As the morning of the 17th unfolded the set waves just got bigger and bigger. Around high tide the sets became more consistent and Laird stepped up to the challenge. The photo was taken with a Nikon F5 camera and a 70 – 200 zoom lens shooting at 9 frames per second. This poster shot was No 38 out of a 36-exposure film! Had I used another camera the shot would simply have never existed.</p>

<h1>What&#8217;s new in Photoshop CS5</h1>
<p>Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 software redefines digital imaging with  a strong focus on photography; breakthrough capabilities for superior  image selections, image retouching, and realistic painting; and a wide  range of workflow and performance enhancements.</p>
</div>
<ul>
<li id="photography"><a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/whatsnew/index.html?segment=photography#">For photography</a></li>
<li id="design"><a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/whatsnew/index.html?segment=photography#">For design projects</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>For photography</h2>
<p>Get precise results when making complex selections, remove any  image element and see the space fill in almost magically, and create  stunning photo-realistic or surreal HDR images.</p>
<div>
<p><a title="Complex selections made easy" rel="modal" href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/complex-selections/modal.html?width=690&amp;height=410">Play<img src="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/complex-selections/spotlight.jpg" alt="Complex selections made easy" width="496" height="230" /></a></p>
</div>
<div>
<h4>Complex selections made easy   new</h4>
<p>Select specific areas within an image in fewer clicks. Easily  select intricate image elements, such as hair; eliminate background  color around selection edges; and automatically vary selection edges and  perfect masks using new refinement tools.</p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p><a title="Content-Aware Fill" rel="modal" href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/contentaware-fill/modal.html?width=690&amp;height=410">Take a closer look<img src="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/contentaware-fill/inline.jpg" alt="Content-Aware Fill" width="177" height="115" /></a></p>
<h4>Content-Aware Fill    new</h4>
<p>Remove any image detail or object and watch as  Content-Aware Fill magically fills in the space left behind. This  breakthrough technology matches lighting, tone, and noise so it looks as  if the removed content never existed.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><a title="Superior HDR imaging" rel="modal" href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/hdr-imaging/modal.html?width=690&amp;height=410">Take a closer look<img src="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/hdr-imaging/inline.jpg" alt="Superior HDR imaging" width="177" height="115" /></a></p>
<h4>Superior HDR imaging    enhanced</h4>
<p>Create photo-realistic or surreal HDR images with  unprecedented speed, control, and accuracy. Get better-than-ever results  thanks to automatic ghost removal and greater control with tone mapping  and adjustments, and even give single-exposure photos the look of HDR.</p>
</div>
<div>

<h4>Extraordinary painting effects    new</h4>
<p>Easily change a photograph into a painting or create  unique artistic effects with the Mixer Brush, which offers on-canvas  color blending, and Bristle Tips, which let you create lifelike,  textured brush strokes.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><a title="Automatic lens correction" rel="modal" href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/lens-correction/modal.html?width=848&amp;height=548">Close look<img src="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/lens-correction/inline.jpg" alt="Automatic lens correction" width="177" height="115" /></a></p>
<h4>Automatic lens correction    new</h4>
<p>Save time with automatic correction of lens distortions,  chromatic aberration, and vignetting.  Photoshop CS5 uses an image  file&#8217;s EXIF data to make precise adjustments based on the type of camera  and lens you used.</p>
</div>
<div>

<h4>Better media management    enhanced</h4>
<p>Easily manage media with more flexible batch renaming,  and access your assets in the context of what you&#8217;re working on by using  the customizable Adobe Mini Bridge panel in Photoshop.</p>

<h4>Streamlined creative reviews    new</h4>
<p>Use Adobe CS Review, part of new Adobe CS Live online  services,* to initiate a more secure review without leaving Photoshop.  Reviewers can add comments to your images from their browsers, and you  see the comments appear automatically on your screen. CS Live services  are complimentary for a limited time.</p>
</div>

<p><img src="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/include/workspace-switcher/inline.jpg" alt="Workspace Switcher live workspaces" width="177" height="115" /></p>
<h4>Easier UI management    new</h4>

<p>It&#8217;s hard to explain a mind-blowing mess like this one, but AFP is suing a Haitian photojournalist for &#8220;antagonistic assertion of [his] rights&#8221; after it distributed his news-breaking earthquake photos all over the world without his permission.</p>
<p>AFP is mad because the photographer, Daniel Morel, sent cease and desist letters to numerous AFP clients, allegedly made false and defamatory statements about AFP, and made unreasonable monetary demands of AFP for infringement.</p>
<p>AFP is asking a federal court in Manhattan to declare that it did nothing wrong, and force Morel to pay unspecified damages for defamation.</p>
<p>Morel, a veteran photojournalist and former AP photographer, was in Port au Prince when the earthquake struck. He shot news images moments after the quake, and within an hour, the daughter of a friend helped him post 13 high resolution images on Twitter from a hotel that still had a working internet connection.</p>
<p>AFP downloaded the images and distributed them through Getty, it&#8217;s distribution partner. Morel&#8217;s iconic image of an earthquake victim (shown above) appeared on the front pages of newspapers all over the world the next day. In many cases, the images carried the credit of AFP, Getty, and a Dominican photographer who stole Morel&#8217;s images and re-tweeted them as his own. (Morel says AFP knew who the images actually belonged to, a claim AFP does not seem to be disputing).</p>
<p>Morel started sending the cease and desist letters to AFP and various users of Morel&#8217;s images. AFP says it immediately stopped distributing his images. But the damage was done, and Morel has been seeking an unspecified payment from AFP.</p>
<p>AFP finally sued, asserting that the Twitter Terms of Service are perfectly clear: Anything uploaded to Twitter is free for re-distribution. Besides, AFP says, Morel didn&#8217;t indicate that he was putting any restrictions on the use of the images that he tweeted.</p>
<p>Morel&#8217;s response in court papers to that he &#8220;had no prior experience with Twitter&#8230;and did not read the Terms of Service.&#8221; He also explains that he posted the images on Twitter with hopes that they &#8220;would span the globe to inform the world of the disaster, and that he would also receive compensation and credit as a professional photographer for breaking news of the earthquake before the news and wires services.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a perfect world, photographers could take their stories to the world without major distributors and other middlemen, and somehow get paid&#8211;even after the fact&#8211;for pictures they have posted for all the world to see.</p>
<p>In fact, The Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, and others did see Morel&#8217;s tweet and offer him money to publish and distribute his images, according to papers he filed in court. Not everyone, in other words, assumed that Morel&#8217;s images were free for the taking because of Twitter&#8217;s Terms of Service.</p>
<p>But a perfect world it isn&#8217;t. The internet may be empowering, but this case shows how vulnerable photographers&#8217; copyrights are&#8211;and not just to petty thieves, but to big corporations who have the money and lawyers to beat small copyright owners up in court on the grounds that some fine print makes it legal to copy and distribute their works without permission.</p>
<p>That, of course, raises the question: what is copyright really worth anymore if technology has turned it into something that benefits only those with the resources to enforce and defend it at every turn?</p>

<p>PRESS RELEASE</p>
<p>Apple Unveils New Mac Pro With Up to 12 Processing Cores</p>
<p>CUPERTINO, California—July 27, 2010—Apple today unveiled a new Mac Pro line with up to 12 processing cores and up to 50 percent greater performance than the previous generation. Featuring the latest quad-core and 6-core Intel Xeon processors, all-new ATI graphics and the option for up to four 512GB solid state drives (SSD), the new Mac Pro continues to deliver amazing performance and expandability for the most demanding consumers and professionals.</p>
<p>“The new Mac Pro is the most powerful and configurable Mac we’ve ever made,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With up to 12 cores, the new Mac Pro outperforms our previous top-of-the-line system by up to 50 percent, and with over a billion possible configurations, our customers can create exactly the system they want.”</p>
<p>At the heart of the new Mac Pro’s performance are next generation quad-core and 6-core Intel Xeon processors running at speeds up to 3.33 GHz. These multi-core processors use a single die design so each core can share up to 12MB L3 cache to improve efficiency while increasing processing speed. These systems feature an integrated memory controller for faster memory bandwidth and reduced memory latency; Turbo Boost to dynamically boost processor speeds up to 3.6 GHz; and Hyper-Threading to create up to 24 virtual cores. The Mac Pro now comes with the ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics processor with 1GB of memory and customers can configure-to-order the even faster ATI Radeon HD 5870 with 1GB of memory.</p>
<p>For the first time, Mac Pro customers have the option to order a 512GB SSD for the ultimate in reliability and lightning fast performance. With the ability to install up to four SSD drives in the system&#8217;s internal drive bays, the new Mac Pro can provide ultra high-speed disk bandwidth and random disk performance, two times faster than the average performance of a standard disk drive. Mac Pro also now features two Mini DisplayPorts and one dual-link DVI port. The additional Mini DisplayPort output allows customers to connect two LED Cinema Displays without an additional graphics card or adapter and the dual-link DVI port supports legacy DVI-based displays up to a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.</p>
<p>Every Mac Pro comes with Apple’s innovative Magic Mouse and customers can also order Apple’s new Magic Trackpad as an option. The Magic Trackpad brings the intuitive Multi-Touch gestures of Mac notebook trackpads to the desktop. With its glass surface, the wireless Magic Trackpad allows users to scroll smoothly up and down a page with inertial scrolling, pinch to zoom in and out, rotate an image with their fingertips and swipe three fingers to flip through a collection of web pages or photos. The Magic Trackpad can be configured to support single button or two button commands and supports tap-to-click as well as a physical click. Magic Trackpad is available separately for $69.</p>
<p>Continuing Apple’s commitment to the environment, Apple’s desktop lineup is a leader in green design. The Mac Pro meets stringent Energy Star 5.0 requirements and achieves EPEAT Gold status. The Mac Pro enclosure is made of highly recyclable aluminum and the interior is designed to be more material-efficient. The Mac Pro uses PVC-free internal cables and components and contains no brominated flame retardants. The new Apple Battery Charger provides a convenient and environmentally friendly way to always have a fresh set of batteries for your Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard. The Apple Battery Charger is available as an option for $29 and comes with six long shelf life rechargeable batteries.</p>
<p>Every Mac also comes with Mac OS® X Snow Leopard®, the world’s most advanced operating system, and iLife®, Apple’s innovative suite of applications for managing photos, making movies and creating and learning to play music. Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. iLife features iPhoto®, with breakthrough ways to organize and manage your photos by who appears in them and where they were taken; iMovie® with powerful easy-to-use features such as Precision Editor, video stabilization and advanced drag and drop; and GarageBand® which offers a whole new way to help you learn to play piano and guitar.</p>
<p>Optional Apple professional applications include Aperture, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Studio, Logic Express and Logic Studio®.</p>
