Getty got the Flickr

Apparently Flickr and Getty made a deal granting Getty exclusive rights to license pictures from the Flickr pool.
Ever since affordable digital cameras broke through the print resolution barrier, pictures have become a commodity. ...more

A salute to food photography

At first glance, this looks a lot like a before and after show. Only it's not quite clear "before what" and "will there be an after at all". ...more

Crazy, yeah!

News is around, that the american company PhotoCrazy.Com is requesting photographers and agencies to license a PhotoCrazy patent.
The patent is about presenting 500 or more images of a sports event for a viewer to chose from, accompanied with a simple method to order them by time.
With 499 images you'ld be safe.
Peter Wolf from Photocrazy already filed lawsuits against Brightroom, Elizabether Kreutz, Bird's Eye View, Digilabs, Printroom, SmugMug, and Hour Photos.
The american Sport and Event Photographers society (SEP) is already working the case.
Where is my popcorn, film at eleven!
PS: what really cracks me up is, Pixelboxx had up until several years ago a default limit on the presentation of search results at 500 images.
PPS: Fotofinder/Images.de is online since september 1998. And, yeah, they had even then a whole lot of sports photography.

worth every pixel?

The vast majority of digital cameras has an APS-C sized sensor chip. Why is this size so common and why are cameras with a full frame (36 x 24 mm) sensor so much more expensive? Chipworks has some interesting answers.

SISOMO - It's all about RGB

I just got my hands on an interesting book: SISOMO by Kevin Roberts, CEO worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi.
Roberts describes, how the screen is now the most prominent media in our daily lifes. Screens are ubiquitous, omni present and manifold in form, size and function.
Enter sisomo—sight, sound, and motion, the combination that made television the most powerful selling tool ever invented.
I was instantly reminded of an exhibition, I visited in the late 90ies in Oberhausen. It was called Der Traum vom Sehen / dream to see and was accompagnied by a thorough documentation of german tv history. Some pictures of that exhibition can be seen here: Triad, Berlin. That exhibition used only a few but very accentuated highlights of german tv history to indulge the associated memories.
But if we can agree, that screen media in all its variations is now the presentation form that gets our very most attention, why is there still so much media produced in CMYK?
Given, CMYK is needed for print, but to store and archive CMYK leads to a qualitative dead end.

Blink, blink, blink, blinkblinkblink

Velocity: Science in motion has an interesting article on how to calculate the propability of a blink-free group photo.
Go figure.
And then you can just take two photos and photoshop the blinking eyes away - as you are already working the wrinkles, masking pimples, bleaching teeth.

Digital image forensics

While surfing various topics about image compression I found this interesting article on the analysis of detectable chromatic aberration in images to identify tampered images.
