Fake Chuck Westfall has some information on the new Canon 5D Mark II. He says that parts of his non-disclosure aggrement ran out today. The can’t say the offical name of the camera, but he did say that it is going to be 24mp with great low light capibilites. There is no on camera flash.
These could all be rumors but it sounds good to me.

Last Friday I photographed a great hard fought football game. This was one of the best high school games I have seen. 2007 GHSA Class A State Champs, Emanuel County Institute took on Savannah Christian.
The coin toss, Savannah Christian elected to receive.
Washaun Ealey, state touchdown record holder, makes a big run.
The score at the half was ECI leading 20-7.
After the half Savannah Christian came back and made it 21-20 near the end of the game.
But, ECI got it together and came down the field and scored with 1:20 left on the clock and made the final score 28-21 in favor of ECI.
After the game coach Milan Turner of ECI lead both team in a prayer.
You can view more images from the game here.

Vincent Laforet shot a video of the remote camera setups at the Beijing Olympics for the mens 100m final. Its amazing to see that ammount of equipment just siting there.
Also if you are wondering how that many photographers can use Pocket Wizards at the same time, you can send them in and get your own frequency for around $150. That way you would have no trouble at a event like this.

It’s that time of year again. No I am not talking about fall, I am talking about Football!
For the first weekend I went to David Emanuel Academy vs Bullock on Thursday night in Statesboro Ga. On Friday i went and photographed last years Georgia Class A state champions Emanual County Institute vs Savannah Contry Day School. That game was played in Twin City, Ga.
Then on Saturday I went to see the Dawgs play. The University of Georgia vs Georgia Southern. Fun game. I did not have a sideline pass for that game but I managed to get some good shots from my seats in the end zone. Here are a few of the images from the game.

In a article on cnet for the new Lightroom 2.0, John Nack revealed some details about the configuration of the new interface that will be in the next version of Photoshop. The best thing I see is that you will even be able to make your own menus in flash!
Adobe is taking a page from the Lightroom specialization playbook for Photoshop by trying to make it more customizable to specific users and tasks. But in contrast with Lightroom, company is trying to do so without sacrificing the software’s general-purpose nature, said John Nack, [principal] product manager for Photoshop.
“We want to make it possible to be everything you want and nothing you don’t,” Nack said. “One of the tough things has been dealing with the enormous breadth of Photoshop. We end up presenting same interface to architects as we do to Web designers as radiologists as prepress folks.”
To achieve that goal, Photoshop’s interface will become more open-ended and even programmable, he said.
“You’ll see some of the things we’ve learned about Lightroom–making things browsable and less modal–come into Photoshop,” Nack said. In other words, it’ll be easier to shift Photoshop from one task to another.
With a “Configurator” application that should be released by Adobe Labs within a month or two of release the next version of Photoshop, Adobe will let users create and share their own Photoshop control panels written in Adobe’s Flash programming language, Nack added. “Our goal is to make it possible for expert users to reconfigure the environment on a task-by-task basis and share those workspaces with other people. You don’t have to write code. You can knock together an interface and make it sharable.”

Adobe also released today a camera profile editor for camera raw. It’s on Adobe labs.
We have been actively working on improving color rendering for digital raw photographs. Our new color rendering package contains the following components:
- the DNG 1.2 specification, which expands and formalizes the concept of a color profile for raw (i.e., scene-referred) image data captured by digital sensors,
- Adobe Standard camera profiles that significantly improve color rendering, especially in reds, yellows, and oranges,
- Camera Matching profiles that match the camera manufacturers’ color appearance,
- DNG Profile Editor, a free software utility for editing camera profiles, and
this web page, designed to help photographers get the most out of the new camera profiles and the DNG Profile Editor.

Adobe released today the new full version of Lightroom, version 2. It has been in beta for a while now and it seems like they have added some more features to it.
The first one I noticed is a graduated filter, will have to play with this one.
Also they added a SDK to build plugins for export, metadata, and web gallery. Not quite the full sdk like Aperture but its a start.

Phase One just announced the P65+. It is a full frame, 60 megapixel 645 medium format back. Luminous Landscape has a preview of the new back.
It shoots the 60mp image at a speedy 1 frame per second, not a sports camera. It also has varible resolution. So you can take a 30mp frame at 2fps.
I though the 50 megapixel Hassellblad back was a little overkill, but this?
It will sell for $39,990 for just the back, or $41,990 for the camera system.
