Rain is back

It rained off and on today (much more on than off), so I didn't take any new photos. I posted some pics on wildaboutbritain.co.uk for ID and also some more zoo pics on deviantart, digital photography blog, flickr and redbubble. Spent quite a bit of the day on the pinternet as well. Sony announced their 24MP full frame DSLR, which is set to cost $3,000, extremely cheap. The sample pics posted look rubbish quality, but apparently there is likely to be a firmware update which greatly improves things, and of course the pics' quality may be due to shooting JPEG and using DRO, which underexposes the image then pulls up the shadows to increase Dynamic Range. Sony also announced a Zeiss 16-35/2.8 lens and a Sony G 70-400/4-5.6 lens. Providing the lenses are good quality, they sound like they would make an awesome kit with the camera.

Photoshop CS4 was previewed at Photoshop World as well, and apparently Creative Suite 4 will be announced on 23rd September, will be interesting to see what it can do that CS3 can't.

In the evening me and Mac watched an episode of Battlestar Galactica and a film about Bob Dylan 'I'm not there'. I didn't think the film was that good really, too weird and arty for me. I liked the music though. I gave it 6/10.
