Venice Carnival Photo Tour
If you ever wanted to travel to Venice, February is a good month to go. It is generally carnival time when residents dress up in wild and colorful costumes that create a tremendous amount of photo opportunities.
Professional photographer David Nightingale is conducting a week long workshop in Venice called the Carnival Photo Tour. It is scheduled for February 2012 from the 14th thorough the 19th. It includes a single occupancy room (double occupancy can lower the price) and a few event dinners.
Below are some of the images on David's website to whet your appetite for the tour. To learn more about this photo tour go to: VENICE.

CHIMPING
Chimping is defined as the activity of "continually looking at your LCD to view every image you shoot to make sure you got it right".
But maybe it is the art of "letting your chimp look at the images you shoot to get a professional opinion".

Beautiful Timelapse of Iceland
Iceland among other countries is called the land of the midnight sun for its long summer days. I suspect together with Norway, Sweden and Finland it is called something else less flattering in winter, maybe just "dark". Below is a time lapse that showcases the beauty of that country:

Table Top Tripod as "Chest-Pod"
Another interesting idea from one of our readers, Russ Borud:
The classic table top tripod, "by twisting it around into a novel configuration, you can brace the camera against your chest and get much of the stabilizing power of a tripod on the floor - but the flexibility to move around quickly with fast moving subjects."

ACLU sues Sheriff's Department in LA for harassing Photoogs
Photographers are being stopped more frequently and we can only hope that the courts will continue to side with us. Since most of these so-called targets have been photographed for decades by millions of tourists and published in every possible medium - stopping photographers is a huge over-reach.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/10/aclu-sues-.html
The article states: "Photography is not a crime. It's protected 1st Amendment expression," said Peter Bibring, senior staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California. "It violates the Constitution's core protections for sheriff’s deputies to detain and search people who are doing nothing wrong. To single them out for such treatment while they’re pursuing a constitutionally protected activity is doubly wrong." Bibring said the policy and practices of the Sheriff's Department reflect a widespread misuse of "suspicious activity reporting" under the auspices of Homeland Security and counterterrorism. Similar suits have been filed in several other states.
