 Jeremiah is not much of a still photographer; his passion is in motion pictures, not stills. So a couple of years ago he saw Vincent Laforet's "Reverie" he knew that he would have to learn to shoot with a DSLR.

 It looks like 2012 will be the year that consumer electronics make the first serious jump beyond HD resolution. Consumers are about to get a higher-resolution screen than has yet been seen in technology for the home, and it's not going to be because manufacturers of PC displays or HDTVs pushed the bar upward.

 What a long, strange trip it’s been for Magic Bullet Denoiser. The quite amazing, though crash-prone, denoising tool from Red Giant Software was removed from Red Giant’s product lineup late last year when some third-party technology used in Denoiser 1 was purchased by Google. In Google’s quest to make crappy YouTube video look better, we lost one of the better denoise tools that I had ever used.
