OK. Please plow though this intro, there is a lot of info in this which outlines the future of The Journal. After this the intros will be much, much shorter.
|
I hope you are having a great week! You may have noticed that I placed, above, Issue 56. I know it's a repeat number but I went through each issue and discovered I slipped on the numbering. So, if you are keeping tabs on that sort of thing, it is now correct.
|
As many of you know I released a survey a couple of days ago in regards to The Journal. There was a tremendous response and in light of that we will be moving forward with a few changes. The changes are coming as a result of the responses to the survey. Nothing heavy just a few tweaks here and there. There were only 4 actual questions and one box where I asked for written comments. You can expect periodic surveys coming your way in the future. They will all be a simple as this one. The response was very good! Thank you!

Rachel Stewart, Portrait Photographer
My love for photography started after a serious health battle where I began to see things a lot differently. One random Boxing day my best friend and I went out and bought a bridge camera.
|
From there I would take photos of my beautiful daughter and post them on Facebook. People would often comment and ask if I would take pics of their children and so it began.

Best Smartphones For Photography
If you're looking for the best smartphone for photography, then you've come to the right place. Cameras in smartphones have come a long way over the last few years, with a number of features that have greatly improved the quality of images produced by smartphones, including optical image stabilisation (OIS), larger sensors, bright lenses, and even optical zoom making them even better for photography.
|
The photographic capabilities of smartphones have become such a massive selling feature, that many premium smartphones now support shooting "raw" images, so you can take complete control over image processing.
