I have had a lot of fun recently doing night photography. I was intrigued by the prospect of doing the classical car light trails using long exposures with an IR filter (Hoya R72 Infrared). At night, there are of course not many sources of scattered IR light, but I was curious about the results.

The technology present at the 2008 Beinjing Olympics in Beijing was certainly impressive. Here is a visual account (text in Spanish) and a good example of "bigger is better"...

Here is a sensible look at the issue of ever increasing megapixels and the quality of images that result from packing more sensor sites on a surface.  One of the points I like it that RAW files should be available on any camera, including point-and-shoot, to give more processing latitude to the photographer.

Hopefully you have not been in the same situation I was in 2007. My Epson 4000 printer suddenly showed a bad case of deflected nozzles in the matte channel. After the routine cleaning attempts, including the "windex" pool under the parking head, I had it checked by a repair shop. They concluded that the printhead needed to be changed, which would have cost between $700-900. As you can see from
