I was just asked about the Nikon D5000. So I promised I would put a link up here to some review videos.

The review videos are at www.d5000review.com

It looks like a pretty nice entry level camera. If you haven’t seen it, take the time to check out the LCD screen. It is more articulated than most. Cool feature.

The other thing I liked about this is that the aperture and shutter speed are shown on the screen in a way that would hopefully make learning them easier for a novice. Thumbs up for this.

Are you interested in building your first darkroom? Do you wonder what a real home darkroom looks like? Have you wondered if you can have a darkroom even if your space is small? Are you a digital photographer just mildly curious what all this old technology is about?

APUG has a forum topic that I visit often. It is the Darkroom Portraits discussion they’ve had. If you want to see pictures of darkrooms ranging from tiny, makeshift, bathroom based darkrooms through entry level up to darkrooms that are works of art themselves, this is where you need to go. You will be able to see how people layout and organize their darkrooms.

To see the pictures, be sure you register for APUG, the Analog Photography User Group. It is a very good photography resource. It is well worth your time to dig into photography there.

Here’s a three part video on photographer, historian, curator, and professor Beaumont Newhall. This video is as much about Newhall as it is on photography. It initially talks about Newhall, but moves on to his commentary on the likes of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Alfred Stieglitz. It gives a taste of the importance of Newhall in the recognition and development of photography as an art form.
