Night photo session at Knokke - Belgium
I couldn’t resist to test Christopher Ward new little plugin for WordPress… So here it is! This plugin inserts exif informations of a photo in the “alt” tag: if you hover your mouse over the above image, you’ll see this: “f/22, 12 sec, at 50mm, 100 ISO, on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II”, it’s the information of how the picture was taken… Well it doesn’t says I used a tripod for this, but everyone could have guessed that…
Please read more on Gavin Gough’s blog.
So thank you Christopher for creating this plugin; Gavin for the tip via your blog!

Chris Bickford - After the storm
I found Chris Bickford work by reading Tewfic El-Sawy’s Travel Photographer Blog (you should rss it!) and while Tewfic show the Paris in colours gallery, I prefer for my part the After the storm one…
Anyway, all pictures I saw from Chris’ site and blog are great, so it worth the visit! Enjoy!

As always, Alan Taylor’s Big Picture, from Boston.com, provides us with a beautiful serie of photographies, this week is about work and industry.
“When the economy makes big news, many photographs of people at work come across the wires, usually to help illustrate a particular story or event. By collecting these disparate photos over the past few months, I found that a global portrait emerged of we humans producing things. People assembling, generating, and building items small and large, mundane and expensive, trivial and important. I hope you enjoy this look into some people’s work lives around the world.” (45 photos total)

Recording Great-Sounding Audio with the Canon EOS 5D MkII
By Kevin Reylek
Canon EOS 5D MkII with Sennheiser MKE400 external mic
The EOS 5D Mark II, one of the latest offerings from Canon, is the world’s first dSLR camera to offer Full HD video recording capability. But what if you want to capture great sounding audio to accompany your great looking video? The 5D MkII records stunning video clips at a 1080p resolution with a frame rate of 30fps, but the audio is recorded with a tiny built-in mono microphone. Thankfully the camera also includes a stereo 3.5mm microphone input that will enable you to capture much better audio than that offered by the built-in mic. Shooting video on the MkII is very easy. Check out the full 5D MkII review from B&H’s own Allan Weitz for an in-depth look at the camera itself, and additional details on shooting video. With the right external microphone, recording great sound is easy too.

Rom interiors by Carlo Gianferro
Looking at the WPP winners, I came to this gallery of Rom interiors in Romania and Moldavia, by Carlo Gianferro, a italian freelance photographer based in Rome, Italy. The pictures are attractive and funny in the same time. I think these are the kitschiers interiors I’ve seen!
