Nikon’s new plug-in looks killer. Called ‘Silver Efex Pro’ it’s compatible with both Photoshop and Aperture. I even got a demo with the email the other day. I’m especially liking the ‘State-of-the-Art Grain Engine’ - a nice little addition that allows users to mimic the silver halide process and create the highest quality black and white images possible from scanned or digital colour photographs.
The photo below was taken by German photographer Jurgen Muller. Great stuff.

I have always liked Apgujeong. Last night found me swinging by to snap a few pics for a new article I’m hammering out. The area never fails to surprise or amaze me.

The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) will be hosting their 4th event toward the end of July. This time around, a select group will get to travel to the heavily guarded Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The event is open for everyone. Simply visit the link and apply online.
I have been on two KTO tours, both to Jeollanam-do and Gangwon-do, and I must say they were pretty insightful. They truly are a great way to get out and see those hard to reach places in Korea that you don’t normally get to explore on larger scale tours.

Worth waiting until Christmas? Not sure. But I flipped out when I saw this latest article on Ken Rockwell’s site this morning announcing a possible D700 release. Don’t be fooled by the numbers though, according to Rockwell, you’re not getting all that much more muscle besides ‘much better high-ISO performance and a green light to buy even more expensive ultra-ultra wide lenses.’ Frankly, given it’s $3,300 price tag, I’d wait for the D400 or ante up and grab the D3 as it’s far superior in speed.
Read some more news of the leaked brochure on Wired.
