A Photo Folio Opens Its Doors

July 29, 2008 By Thursday Bram

Rob Haggart, the former director of photography for such notable magazines as Men’s Journal and Outside Magazine, has developed a simple approach to photography portfolios with A Photo Folio. He’s made creating a very elegant portfolio a matter of uploading photographs. Erik Dungan and Mark Caston, of BigFolio.com are also in on the project.

So far, A Photo Folio is providing two very different designs to photographers using the site. The first is a fairly minimalist design that nonetheless provides a very sleek portfolio for a photographer. The second has more color, along with more attitude. If I had to make a guess, I’d say that the first design is very ‘Men’s Journal’ while the second is more ‘Outside Magazine.’ Either way, the site is definitely looking to provide options for professional photographers.

July 29, 2008 By Eric Reagan


Thom Hogan has posted his review of the new Nikon SB-900.

Best flash interface yet. Tiny quibbles aside, Nikon nailed the controls. Faster to set, easier to set, easier to understand how it’s set. Bingo.

Olympus SP-570 UZ Review at Cameras.co.uk

July 29, 2008 By Eric Reagan


Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Olympus SP-570 UZ.

The Olympus SP-570 handles more like a Digital SLR than any other camera I have tested. I like the barrel twisting method of zoom. Add in a hot shoe, RAW mode and various manual controls and you have a very good camera for a photography enthusiast.

Sony A200 Review at PopPhoto

July 29, 2008 By Eric Reagan


PopPhoto has posted a review of the Sony A200.

All in all, Sony’s Alpha 200 is a capable bargain-priced DSLR. Once you consider that the kit comes with a longer-than-usual 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 lens for only $500, it becomes a steal.
