It’s slowly approaching September… I have a couple of hours left in August (at least in this timezone). By now, you all should have received the August 2010 Corner Newsletter in your inbox. If for whatever reason you didn’t receive it, or have chosen not to receive it, you’re in luck, because you can actually read it online here in the Corner Newsletter Archives. If you don’t already have a FREE account at PhotographyCorner, why the heck not??! Sign up here already!

The newsletter was sponsored by FXhome. Green screen photography is proving increasingly popular as the technology becomes more affordable and accessible. FXhome has specialized in powerful green screen software for Mac and PC for almost a decade, with the new PhotoKey 3 series aimed specifically at photographers. More information can be found here.

The newsletter is full of photography contests, videos, cool blog posts, and even some little encouragement… so what are you waiting for? Grab a cup of coffee and take 10 minutes to read the August edition of the Corner newsletter before we get too far into September.  Read more »

I know it’s August already, but if you’re a member of the Corner, you should have at least received the July newsletter while it was still July. Maybe you didn’t read it or open it in July, but I did send it out in July. That counts for something, right? For those that may have missed it, don’t subscribe to it, or prefer to read it online, you can read the July 2010 Corner Newsletter here in the Corner Newsletter Archives.

The newsletter was sponsored by Tamron and their new SP AF10-24mm Di II lens, a high performance ultra-wideangle zoom which features an unprecedented 2.4X zoom ratio—the best in its class. This innovative lens is designed for Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony DSLRs with APS-C sized sensors and offers a 35mm-equivalent range of 16-37mm in a lightweight and compact design. With this versatile zoom, photographers can capture magnificent vistas and extraordinary close-ups, bold compositions and unique perspectives, creating imagery impossible with a standard wideangle. The advanced optical system features large-aperture, glass-molded aspherical elements, hybrid aspherical elements, and elements made of special low-dispersion glass, all of which combine to deliver high-quality imagery and performance. The lens uses a new optical system designed to confine the changing angles of incidences of light rays reaching the imager within a certain scope over the entire image field from center to periphery, addressing the effects of variances caused by zooming. Peripheral light fall-off that becomes an image-degrading factor in wideangle photography is minimized to ensure high optical quality across the image plane. Newly developed multiple-layer coatings and internal surface coatings to reduce image degradation caused by the reflection of light rays entering the lens front are incorporated. Because close-focusing capability is essential in wideangle photography, Tamron engineered a 9.4” minimum focus distance throughout the zoom range. This capability gives you freedom to create images with an exaggerated perspective at the 10mm ultra-wideangle end and shoot with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5 at the 24mm setting, the best magnification ratio in its class.

Pretty cool, huh? Now go on and read the rest of the newsletter… Read more »
