Spokane, Washington & Northern Idaho area TV station KXLY reported a story about one newlywed couple who took more than 200 photos on their once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon trip to Belize last week only to have that camera stolen soon after they landed in Spokane Tuesday night. Police did recover some stolen items, including two disposable cameras. The digital camera may never turn up again.
The lessons? You should never leave valuable items in vehicle, even for a short period of time. Beside that, here are some tips for keeping your digital camera and photos safe while traveling. Read More…

Previously I had a post titled Cheap and simple diffuser for macro photography. Here are a couple of cheap and easy DIY projects for softbox I found on Flickr.
- Project #1. Just a box covered with tracing paper. Check out the example photos using this setup.
- Project #2. Similar to the first one but with silver metalized tape (better than aluminum foil) to improve light reflection.

On July 26 2007, Fujifilm announced multiple cameras cross all of its FinePix lines. You can find more information by following the links here (S: high end super-zoom, F: compact, Z: ultra-compact, A: entry level): FinePix S8000fd, FinePix S5800, FinePix F480, FinePix F50fd, FinePix Z100fd, FinePix Z10fd, and FinePix A920.
I have not looked back to these various small sensor fixed lens digital cameras since I bought the Nikon D70 in 2004. The DSLRs simply have much better image quality and offers more creative opportunities for photography. After reading the specification of these new Fujifilm digital cameras, I was a little shocked to see some great advances in the technology and feature sets, such as face detection, high ISO (ISO6400!), image stabilization, and super zoom (18X with FinePix S8000fd). My favorite among the new releases is the FinePix F50fd. It is loaded with features for a reasonable price tag of $299.95.
