LATEST ADDITIONS

Epson today announced a continuation of its “Finish Strong” advertising campaign, developed by M&C Saatchi Los Angeles, with a new photography contest. Photographers are invited to submit an idea for Epson’s next Finish Strong ad. The winner will receive either an opportunity to attend an actual photo shoot with world-renowned photographer Joe McNally or a $5,000 cash prize.

The Fujifilm XF1 has a compact body with a retro design that is emphasized by the optional black, brown or red artificial leather and the matte metal finish. The camera doesn’t have an on/off switch but is activated by turning the lens ring on the camera front. This then opens the lens cover and extends the lens system.

Olympus has the M.ZUIKO ED 75-300mm f4.8-6.7 II lens (35mm equivalent 150-600mm). Olympus has redesigned the lens to match the distinctive OM-D E-M5 and PEN Micro Four Thirds series cameras and added a new advanced ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating to keep scratches off, and eliminate ghosting and lens flare even in bright lights.

The Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton College presents an Artist Talk: South Jersey Wetlands – Painting with Pixels by David Woeller on Thursday, February 21 at 6:30 pm. Woeller is a talented nature photographer and president of the Stay Focused Photo Club of the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. He will present a slideshow of his stunning photographs of the wetlands and coastal areas of New Jersey, describing his thought process for capturing each image. There will be a discussion of digital capture and processing and the freedom of expression that they have given photographers in the digital world. Images will include both traditional presentations and digital manipulations with an explanation of the processing techniques used and the reasoning for those choices. Questions and discussion are encouraged during the presentation.
