Vignetting

The blocking of image-forming light around the edges of the image in a specific pattern. This can be done intentionally for aesthetic reasons, or may happen accidentally when the wrong lens shade or filters are attached to a lens.

Tech briefs

Lightroom on Android 2.0 has made it possible to shoot and edit RAW images. Yes you heard that right, you can now shoot raw on your smartphone. Now when you use Lightroom’s built-in camera app, you’ll see a 6th icon on the row of camera functions directly above the shutter release button. Located on the far right and clearly labeled “RAW”.

The editing functions are the same but of course since these are now RAW images, the capabilities are broader and non destructive. Meaning you can always go back to the original file if need be. So Android smartphone users rejoice… In the meantime, I’ll be waiting for the iPhone upgrade.

Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People

In this film, director Thomas Allen Harris explores how photography has both positively and negatively affected Black Americans. The film covers photography of slaves portrayed as less than human all the way to present day images that instill a sense of self worth and humanity. Definitely a great documentary and historical reference filled with Black photographers and imagery.
