Most digital SLR cameras can capture photos in RAW format. This gives you much more control when editing the photos, like adjusting contrast, exposure and white balance.

But not all cameras save the same RAW data. The main difference between them is bit depth. Most beginner cameras like Canon EAOS 100D save the data in 12 bit, more advanced ones 14 bit, and most high-end cameras 16 bit. Now what is the advantage of a higher bit depth? Continue Reading »

It’s time for some more technical web design stuff: When you use Colorbox for overlaying content in an iframe over the main website, you might want to link to another page in this iframe. If you do this, the new page will be shown in the same iframe with the colorbox design around it. Now if this new page doesn’t fit in the iframe, this will look quite messy and won’t be usable.

Greenpeace UK are doing a competion changing the BP logo:

“BP has a really nice logo, but it doesn’t really suit their dirty business. To me, a shiny green logo doesn’t really suit a company that is responsible for the oil currently gushing into the Gulf of Mexico and onto the beaches of Louisiana, or the company that’s sanctioning environmental disaster by being poised to invest in the Canadian Tar Sands. “

They are calling for designers and everybody else to change the BP logo. The winner will get a Greepeace goodie pack, but it’s all about the good cause, right? You can see stuff already submitted here.
