The iPhone 4 is Killing Compact Cameras When it Comes to Photo Uploads
Interestingly, the D40 is three years old, and the iPhone 4 is under a year old. Behind the iPhone is the Canon EOS Rebel XSi, which is also three years old. The second chart, above, shows the decline of the most popular compact cameras, which coincidentally are all Canon PowerShots.
So what's behind this trend? Is it that more people own iPhones than compacts, or simply that the iPhone's always-connected status (well, if you're not on AT&T, anyway) is a better conduit for uploading pics on the fly?

Lensbaby announces Composer Pro camera lens
When it comes to being a professional photographer (or even a hobbyist at that), one would always find methods and ways to capture some really stunning or interesting images – that goes without saying, of course. After all, nobody likes to look at just plain ol’ portrait shots, one after another, without any variety. It is like eating a Big Mac every single day for the rest of your life.
Apart from learning and studying how to shoot from different angles, there is another method – to use an assortment of lenses. This is where Lensbaby comes in with their latest Composer Pro camera lens that delivers creative effects to your images. The Composer Pro refines and enhances the popular and award winning Lensbaby Composer, where the swivel ball is upgraded while its focus mechanism has been given a boost to deliver professional performance.
The Composer Pro’s metal swivel ball design and refined focus mechanism are capable of delivering ultra-smooth focus and tilt control. The focus mechanism features a fluid and accurate dampened focus ring that is comparable to the focus mechanisms of the highest quality professional manual focus lenses. All of that ought to result in some really ground-breaking creative imagery.
The Composer Pro will play nice with the Lensbaby Optic Swap System, where it will ship with either the Double Glass Optic or the new Sweet 35 Optic installed. Each optic delivers a Sweet Spot of sharp focus, enabling photographers to move around the photo simply by tilting the Composer Pro’s swiveling lens body. The Composer Pro will also play nice with the entire range of creative optics in the Lensbaby Optic Swap System, ranging from the Fisheye to the Soft Focus, Pinhole/Zone plate, Single Glass and Plastic.
Interested? Expect to pick up the Composer Pro for $300 a pop with the Double Glass Optic installed, or you can fork out $400 with the Sweet 35 Optic installed.

Dreamhost Webhosting Deal
I am thinking about moving my blog from the free Blogger site to a fully hosted domain with Dreamhost. I have been using them for a couple years for other projects and think they are really reliable and have good customer service. You get one free domain per hosting plan, and can host as many domains under one plan as you like. You also get unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidth!
I have a coupon code if anyone is interested in signing up with them, it gives you 60 dollars off of a one year plan, which is half off. Plus you get the free domain name registration. They may not be the cheapest out there, but they offer so much I definitely think they are worth it!
The code is PIXELDOUGH - just head over to www.dreamhost.com to sign up and get the discount!

Nikon D5100 digital SLR camera
Nikon D5100 digital SLR camera: "
Targeting a new digital camera? If a DSLR is your cup of tea, then Nikon might reel you in to their camp with the D5100 DSLR. This will be a new 16.2-megapixel shooter, as it will definitely come with a wide range of innovative features that will offer photographers the tools to go beyond creative constraints and let one take visual storytelling to another level – not to mention the ability to shoot HD movies as well, just like any other self-respecting DSLR camera ought to be able to do these days.
For starters, the Nikon D5100 will come with an impressive 3″ super sharp 921,000-dot Vari-angle LCD screen, full HD (1080p) movie recording capability with full-time autofocus, as well as in-camera effects which you can apply right on the spot to photos and movies so that everyone else can follow your creative expression all the better.
With the D5100, it doesn’t matter if you’re a pro or not – regardless of your level, you can be confident of pulling off difficult shots as well thanks to the aforementioned swing-out style Vari-angle LCD display, giving you access to new angles that you would not have managed to pull of using a standard DSLR. This extremely sharp LCD display comes with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 921,000-dot resolution, where you can rotate it 180 degrees horizontally and vertically to boot.
If you love being in control, then the Nikon D5100 is one versatile puppy, coming with advanced camera features that will include full manual controls (P,S,A,M on the mode dial), letting one control the camera’s aperture and shutter speeds in a jiffy. The moment you capture that Kodak moment, you will be able to take advantage of the flexible retouch menu which allows you to apply extra in-camera effects and editing options.
Sporting a wide ISO range of 100-6400 (which can be expanded to a staggering 25,600 ISO) ought to be a confidence booster for photographers as they attempt to shoot in outdoor and indoor low-light situations – heck, you can also use just your hands sans tripod in low noise conditions. Nikon’s Active D-lighting feature will also do its part in keeping shadows and highlights consistent for even exposures.
Expect the Nikon D5100 DSLR to arrive in the US from the middle of this month onwards, where it will retail for $799.95 for the body only, and $899.95 for the body and lens outfit which comprises of the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens.
