Photo From North Korea Funeral Was Doctored - NYTimes.com
The funeral of Kim Jong-il on Wednesday called to mind the best stage-managed Communist state productions: the falling snow, the wailing mourners, the perfectly spaced limousines and rows of chest-beating men.
So perhaps it was because the scene was so nearly impeccable that someone — an overzealous North Korean photo editor? — appears to have taken issue with an errant group of men, barely noticeable in a sweeping photograph of the procession in central Pyongyang, and removed them.

The Nature of Truth, Art, and Propaganda in Photography
The Nature of Truth, Art, and Propaganda in Photography
Here’s an interesting video in which acclaimed documentary filmmaker Errol Morris (the guy who directed The Fog of War) talks about the issue of truth in photography, and how he thinks we’ve forgotten that there’s a connection between photos to the physical world.

The Online Photographer: Fujifilm FinePix X10 Impressions
By Ken Tanaka
Image quality:In brief, very good to excellent. The X10's oversized 2/3-inch EXR CMOS 12-MP sensor really seems to shine. Details are held nicely in all but the most extreme frames and, when given the mandate to do so, the X10 can nicely stretch its dynamic range, either through using the "EXR" mode or by using the automated bracketing in "Adv"anced mode. The camera's EXR processor is certainly to be credited for such quality.

Shot with the Fujifilm X100
The Fujifilm X100 is probably one of the best cameras I have owned. It's looks are classic (think Leica) and the digital files are some of the cleanest I've seen. It has a fixed 23mm f2 lens. (35mm equivalent).
This photo was taken just as the sun was setting on the beach in Santa Barbara at ISO 500, 1/20th @ f4.

http://www.fotovisura.com
Overview.
FotoVisura is an online toolbox that artists and photographers can use to publish, share and promote their work through images, video, audio, and text. FotoVisura facilitates self-publishing your work online by broadcasting it to your network of contacts, as well as displaying it in the public archive; members can submit their work to the FotoVisura Grant and Visura Spotlight.
How it works.
Upload image/video/audio files into an Album, add text, then make connections with other users. Once connected they will receive your albums and you will receive theirs.
An Album is the basic building block and can contain any combination or amount of media. Albums can be sent to your FV-Community and the Galleries you participate in through the FotoVisura website.
A Gallery is a collection of Albums and can be contributed to over time by 1 user or by a group of users. Galleries have easy to adjust privacy and moderation features.
Each user has:
• A Profile page that displays your personal library of albums as well as optional information like your Bio and CV.
• A Community Page that displays albums sent to you from your FV-Community and the Group Galleries you participate in.
Each user has an FV-Community — a collection of other users whom you wish to share Albums with. When publishing an Albums you will send it to each member of your FV-Community. As soon as you click the Publish button, the Album will be sent automatically. Similarly, your Community page aggregates Albums syndicated to you from other members of your FV-Community, as well as the Galleries you participate in.
Bookmarks are a great way to save and display your favorite albums from around the community.
Each user can send messages to communicate directly and privately.
Each account has a Control Panel, used to manage your Albums, FV-Community, Galleries, Bookmarks, and Account Settings.
FotoVisura slideshows can easily embed into a webpage or blog.
The FotoVisura Public Archive is a great way to share and discover work across the community at large. It is also a resource for editors, curators, and other forums to find new work.
