bybr /Jonathan Eastland.br /br /span style="font-weight: bold;"The dearth of features, news and articles pertaining to the use of film cameras in the photo press well illustrates the popularity of digital technology across a broad spectrum of enthusiasts; or is it simply that advertising rules the roost?

Release Date: 18 December 2008

Fujifilm Professional has added a new film to its range. FP-3000B is a fine grain, high speed, black and white, peel apart instant film.

This 3000 ISO film was initially designed to be used in the scientific and medical industries. FP-3000B is also now a popular choice for cinematographers and creative photographers. It is easy to use and has a very short development time of just 15-30 seconds.

The film offers exceptional image quality plus superb tonal range with improved highlights. FP-3000B incorporates Fujifilm's own Sigma Crystal emulsion and a new physical development accelerator for the shortened development times, and fine-grain and smooth image quality enhancements.

"We have noticed a significant rise in interest in our range of professional instant films since the discontinuation of Polaroid's instant film products," commented Fujifilm Professional's Jerry Deeney, "The release of FP-3000B further bolsters our range of instant stock which also includes FP-100C Gloss, FP-100C Silk, FP-100B and FP-100C 4" x 5". The 4" x 5" 10-sheet pack film fits into a Fujifilm PA-45 back or a Polaroid 550 pack back.

FP-3000B comes in packs of 10, with each sheet sized at 3.25" x 4.25" and fits into a standard Polaroid 3.25" x 4.25" back. It is available to buy now from www.fujilab.co.uk or all Fujifilm recommended UK photographic distributors and retailers.

span style="font-weight: bold;"Stock photography; rights managed picture libraries, royalty free and micro stock agencies./spanbr /br /bybr /Jonathan Eastlandbr /br /Stock photographers are creative people. Those who survive do so on a mixture of imaginative visual interpretation and business acumen accrued over time. The longer they can stay in the game, the more creative (and or obsessed) they become and the more acumen (business experience) they acquire. Some get rich on it; most toddle along and are intermittently in and out of the game.br /br /It isn't an easy game to stay in and prosper from. The individual hoping to do so will need gallons of stamina, dreams and aspirations beyond normal sensibility, a colossal network of contacts, and the visual and mental ability to be able to turn the ordinary into something special, and, be able to continue to do all of this on a regular basis for decades. It's hard but wonderful work; a privileged position if one can pull it off.br /br /One of the major problems for would-be stock photographers however, is that they often lack the business acumen and or contacts needed to sell their work and today, they lack the knowledge required to build and script internet web sites which would enable them to do so. Hence, the plethora of service sites (e.g. Clickpic, AmazingInternet.) with ready made template driven web pages aligned to e-commerce picture sales and back office admin tools. For a monthly subscription fee, individuals can enter the game, ...

If you are like me, you have already seen too many black and white photos with just one element, usually red, left in the original colour, so you'll have to excuse me while I try to unearth the different tools made available in Lightroom.

Sun Ra and his Arkestra at the North Sea Jazz Festival - Saturday 17 July 1982.

A Sun Ra concert is something you will remember for the rest of your life: it is a mix between a big-band free-jazz concert, a religious ceremony and a trip to outer space. Long before UFO abduction stories had been heard of, Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount) had become convinced that his roots lay on the planet Saturn which he visited by spaceship and he developed "cosmic" philosophies and lyrical poetry as he preached "awareness" and peace above all in his music.
No need to point out that the concert of Sun Ra and his Arkestra that I visited on the Roof Garden scene at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1982 was quite the spectacle with the space music, poem recitals and space costumes. Click on this youtube link to get an impression what the concert was like.
