People in Photography

The result, as seen in People in Photography, is an avalanche of more than 200 photographs with extraordinary, occasionally baffling juxtapositions of subject matter and author. Cecil Beaton's portrait of Princess Alexandra shares wall space with an anonymous 1910 portrait of the confident but ultimately doomed boxer Les Darcy and hawkish Kings Cross witch Rosaleen Norton.

The great American portraitist Arnold Newman's take on an earnest but irrevocably shifty Richard Nixon shows the American president attempting a sincere smile from beneath a handwritten, affectionate inscription to an Australian friend.

John Elliott's 1982 photograph of Slim Dusty coexists uneasily with Max Dupain's portrait of a chubby young Yehudi Menuhin, photographed 40 years earlier. Dupain's versatility shows in two other, very different pictures - his carefully lit 1940s views of the enigmatic politician "Doc" Evatt, and the actor Chips Rafferty resting on his haunches in a rocky landscape with his right hand cradling the ever present hand-rolled cigarette.

Forensic photography brings color back to ancient textiles

Although ancient fabrics can offer clues about prehistoric cultures, often their colors are faded, patterns dissolved, and fibers crumbling. Forensic photography can be used as an inexpensive and non-destructive tool to analyze these artifacts more efficiently, according to new Ohio State University research. Forensic photography helps researchers collect information from fragile artifacts before using expensive chemical tests, which cause damage during material sampling. The forensic method also helps researchers narrow areas to sample for colorants, ultimately reducing artifact damage and testing costs. Source: Physorg.com

Digital photography computer software

The built-in enhancement intelligence is designed with one goal-achieve the best prints the camera, printer, and paper are capable of producing. Noromis PhotoLab always preserves the original file. All enhancements are applied to the original file on the fly, so no data is lost during multiple, intermediate saves to JPG, which is an incrementally lossy compression format. Noromis PhotoLab also performs all scaling internally based on any chosen print size, so the precisely perfect number of pixels is sent to the printer to yield vibrant, crisp results on that specific printer. Print layouts are handled automatically based on the chosen print size, so no paper is wasted. Noromis PhotoLab - Digital photography software Anyone who has a PC with Windows XP or the new Windows Vista can, with simple on-screen prompts and minimal keystrokes, download photos from a digital camera or memory card, make these adjustments, and save or print the photos, create a slide show, or forward them to friends and family.
