Latest Issue
New Year, new editor, same great magazine. I kicked off my role as editor of D-Photo with a spot on TVNZ’s first Breakfast show of the year with Petra Bagust and Corin Dann. As the presenters said, “A picture might paint a thousand words - but will it last a thousand years?” I couldn’t answer that question but could give them some handy hints about how to preserve your images to the best of your ability. With more memories stored in shifting bits and bytes rather than mummified paper our images are at risk of being transient. How about including a photographic New Year’s resolution to your list, one that involves you trawling through the digital dust lurking on SD drives, hard drives, work notebooks and home PCs. Your mission (should you choose to accept it or not):
- I will unearth my photos from our holiday in Canada three years ago (insert destination of choice).
- I will select the most worthy and name them something more meaningful than DSC_43765888.
- I will back these up in not just one but two places.
- So that everyone can admire my diligence I’ll get the best printed – photo book, canvas, poster, snapshots – there are so many options for me to choose.To help, D-Photo will be introducing a new column that takes you through the basics of good post-production habits to get into. If that’s far too boring here’s a more exciting resolution:
- Enter the Nikon D-Photo Amateur Photographer of the Year Competition
