Fujifilm S100fs review : Fujifilm enters the battlefield with the Fujifilm S100fs, a camera that has by now received a number of awards. Striking detail on the S100fs is the image sensor being quite large. Naturally, this is a Super CCD of already the eighth generation. The 11.1 Megapixel on the Super CCD VIII HR are being processed by a new RP (Real Photo) III processor. A special feature is the dynamic range that can be increased to 400%, or 2 stops.

A photography enthusiast has been banned from taking pictures of apples on trees in a Birmingham orchard.

Philip Foster feels staff from nearby Crowley House Probation Hostel overreacted when they spotted him taking pictures from a footpath he says is regularly used as a shortcut by members of the public.

This image of “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively has appeared in the pages of “OK” and “Life and Style Weekly” magazines. Lively wears nine necklaces from jewelry designer Margo Morrison, a coup that the designer has promoted in marketing materials. By Catherine Dayrit New York—Rather than flipping through Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar for style tips, fashion-loving teens and 20-somethings are more likely to mine celebrity gossip magazines each week to see where their favorite stars are vacationing, whom they’re dating—and, of course, what they’re wearing.
