Nope, not from middle-earth but from the middle-kingdom. Huangshan to be precise.

A view to a village!
Partial panorama of Kampung Sinai Baru… a better one will need to wait. I shot the scene with a 24mm when I’ve should have used a 50mm to avoid some of the distortion and parallax errors when compositing.

A tower treat yesterday…
One interesting hybrid
This little weird thingy is probably something rather interesting… a pocketable (compared to the S3 IS) tiny little stills camera, Ixus styling, and superb video capability to boot. The widescreen HDTV resolution video with stereo sound is what is amazing… plus you can use the zoom during the video! Check it here and here.
One Dee Mark Three
Something to put on the Christmas list? I couldn’t care less about the 10 frames per second… but probably a few important things like ISO6400, live-preview, silent mode and most importantly, 14-bit A/D conversion are the big features. Oh, that little thingy on the side is the new Wi-Fi adapter.
The mega-pixel mega-myth
More pixels equals squat if you don’t have a good sensor, and more importantly, a good lens in front of it all. Sharp has recently announced an 8 Megapixel compact sensor – this thing is tiny folks and you know you’ve been complaining about noise, even at low ISO settings on that little 7-megapixel compact camera? Well, I doubt this is good news!
I guess this reminds me of a interesting comic strip which is fast becoming my favorite…
