Northern Lights, Sweden
I was extremely fortunate to see the Northern Lights on the first attempt in Sweden recently. In a group of 9 snow mobiles, we travelled about 45 kms in to the wilderness to see the Northern Lights. The experience was just incredible and worth it even though it was bitterly bitterly cold. I think it was around -23C but felt a lot colder than that on the snow mobiles! I was still cold even though I was wearing 4 layers of warm clothing, a jacket and then the snow suit, 3 layers of thermal socks & the snow boots and 2 wooly hats and the helmet!!

Cube Awards 08
I’m thrilled to announce that Foto SF were ‘Runners Up’ in the prestigious Cube Awards08 and were awarded the ‘Developers of Excellence’. The ceremony was held at The Queen’s Club, London on 21 Nov 08. To receive such an Award in such a short space of time since our launch is a testament to all the hard work we have put into bringing Foto SF as a serious product in the database market.
“Oz brought his solution to our offices when it was nearing completion. I was immediately impressed by the clean appearance and intuitive approach. It illustrated that he really knows what a photographer needs to keep track of, if they are to stay on top of the demands on their time. He has taken the power of FileMaker combined it with his domain expertise and created a solution that is a ‘must have’ for independent photographers. The fact that Foto SF was short listed in the FileMaker Cube Awards08 – Developers of Excellence, is a real testament to the quality of the product. It’s a real bonus that Oz is a really nice guy and I picked up a few tips as a keen amateur photographer myself!”
Tony Speakman, FileMaker, N.Europe
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for their continued support.

Nikon announce new products
I was invited to the launch of the new Nikon products in Central London yesterday (30 June) and as the NDA expired at 5.00am this morning, here it is:
Nikon D700, an FX camera to bridge the gap between the D300 and the D3. I’m sure all of you have seen the spec from the Nikon site. But the SB900 stole the show for me and the other 40 guests. This flashgun is simply awesome. The sheer size of it, the zoom which goes up to 200mm, yes 200mm. I think the zoom head is 17-200mm. The head rotatable fully either way, but the best is the new switch / button which allows the flash to be set as remote or master without going into the menu. Will work with SB800 in iTTL mode and compatible with SD8A. There is also a auto cut-off function which cuts off the power when the flash gets very hot by constant firing. So now you can’t fry up your flashes!! Couple of lenses also released and they too look very good.
Will put up some images later on.
