Photography Bay is now on its new server, which will hopefully lead to better stability and faster load times.
We lost some comments from today and last night, but shouldn’t have a problem going forward. Sorry to those of you whose comments ended up in the cybertrash somewhere.
We’re still chasing some gremlins, and will be making some cosmetic updates over the next day or two. If you see anything that looks way out of place for too long, let me know via a comment or the contact form.
Have a happy and safe New Year!

During the snow storm in NYC a few days ago, Jamie Stuart grabbed his Canon 7D, a tripod and a heavy coat, then headed out into the elements to capture what Roger Ebert says “deserves to win the Academy Award for best live-action short subject. (1) Because of its wonderful quality. (2) Because of its role as homage. It is directly inspired by Dziga Vertov’s 1929 silent classic “Man With a Movie Camera.” (3) Because it represents an almost unbelievable technical proficiency.”

Check out the great video below that gives you a little taste of Kodachrome history. [click to continue…]

This is a follow-up to the previous post that looked at the potential dangers of sharing/licensing photos on Twitter. And, since I’m talking about legal issues, let me go ahead and get my disclaimer out of the way…
While I am a lawyer, I am not your lawyer and this is an editorial commentary on newsworthy issues rather than legal advice. Remember that one too – unless you’re paying a lawyer, you aren’t really getting legal advice, and what you are getting on blogs, forums and, for that matter, Twitter is worth just what you paid for it. Seriously, remember that the next time you want to rely on someone’s advice on a forum. The judge won’t be too keen on a printout of a blog post when you hand it to him as “evidence.”
The last time around, we talked about whether sharing your photos on Twitter gave Twitter a license to use your photos however it sees fit. This time, we’re talking about a third-party news agency using photos shared on Twitter and one photographer who jumped right into the thick of it. [click to continue…]

With CES 2011 coming up next week, the rumor mill is picking up for new camera models to be released at or around the show. Near the top of the rumor list is an Olympus E-PL2 with a new high-res display, sensitivity up to ISO 6400 and a direct video record button.
If the above image is the real deal, it looks quite similar (if not a little sleeker) to the popular Olympus E-PL1, for which this new camera should serve as a direct replacement. Let’s hope they add in a peppier autofocus too…
