Thomas Fitzgerald Photography

I’m afraid this blog has once again fallen silent over the last few days. I’ve been pretty sick having caught a nasty bacterial flu which in turn gave me bronchitis and tracheitis (a lovely combination). So this has pretty much been my view for the last few days. Not exactly a rich tapestry of photographic opportunity, but anyway. Hopefully I’ll get back to posting again soon.

Ok, I’m doing this early today because I haven’t really posted the last few days

On monday Ricoh unveiled the GR Digital III digital compact. The GR Digital series is widely regarded as one of the best compact cameras on the market and this new version offers quite a few improvements, including an impressive ability to shoot up to 5 raw files in burst mode.

Likecool.com has a beautiful series of Landscape images by Photographer Marcin Sacha.

“Small Victory” is the latest in the series of excellent photographs from the “little people” street art project. If you haven’t seen this site before you should check it out. It’s a brilliant project and there are some really clever images on there.

Digital Photography School has a good tutorial on how to use textures to enhance your Images, a technique that seems to be popular right now.

Carl Ryttrfalk has a beautiful series of Images taken in China using the Sigma DP1 and DP2. They are a testament to both his artistry as a photographer and the quality of the Sigma Cameras. Well worth a look.

Taken on an iPhone with “ShakeItPhoto”

One of the things I love about the camera on the iPhone is how, even though it’s fairly bad technically it produces wonderfully “analogue” images, especially when used with some of the better third party photography Apps. Plus, you have it with you all the time, and as someone once said: “The best camera is the one you have with you”. You never know when inspiration will strike. In this case it was in starbucks while it bucketed down outside.
