Photo buffs will love this one (via diyphotography.net). It’s Halloween time (what is Halloween?) and they’ve featured a photographer who won a contest for ‘the most unbelievable Halloween costume for this year’. His photo (see below) of a Nikon camera halloween costume certainly takes the cake.
This amazing picture of Mia and Rozonno McGhee of Columbus, Ohio, shows their amazing sextuplets – 4 sons and 2 daughters born on June 9th, 2010. Notably, they are only second set of sextuplets in the state of Ohio’s history.
These days, many people seem to be using a photo scanning service to scan their old photos. To me, at first glance this seemed unnecessary. My thinking was, why would I pay someone to do something I can easily do myself, like scan photos to digital. But the more I look into it, it actually makes a lot of sense, especially for people that have hundreds or even thousands of old photos. To scan them all your self could take days, possibly even weeks, depending on the speed of your computer and your scanner.
With companies like Photobin offering scanning for as little as $0.10 per scan why not simply mail the photos into them and let them do the tedious work for you. Especially when you consider that for many, their old family photos, and photos of their kids growing up are so irreplaceable that if a tragedy such as a fire or theft were to occur it would be absolutely devastating. So, I guess to answer my own question, a photo scanning service is by no means necessary, but it can actually be very useful.
This awesome photo of a green-eyed gecko was snapped by Anke Seidlitz, and was an entry in National Geographic’s 2009 International Photo Contest.

Here’s an awesome sight – sunset at the North Pole. Note, the sun below the moon, and how large the moon appears (because its the closest point at which it appears to earth).
Check out the picture of Angkor Wat temple complex in Angkor, Cambodia. It was built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. This picture was National Geographic’s picture of the month in July 2009. See more awesome pictures from this shoot, here.
Eastman Kodak Co. (best known for its imaging and photographic materials and equipment) announced yesterday that it intends to raise up to US$700M through the sale of senior secured notes due in 2017. Private equity fund KKR & Co. has already committed to purchase US$400M of the debt offering.
However, Eastman Kodak’s stock price plummeted 11.23% to US$5.93 at the close of trade yesterday. Before KKR & Co.’s offer, investors were concerned about Eastman Kodak’s ability to fund the buyback without depleting cash revenues, however concerns now focus on the dilution of shareholder’s equity.
