A Panoramic Camera is a terrific webpage by Giorgio Carboni. The rest of his website is awsome too, and includes many nifty science projects. His panoramic camera though is awesome, and the construction description is detailed and interesting. But most important, images that he takes with it are awesome, and include some beautiful Italian cityscapes.

Master link list on cheap imaging for amateur astronomy
Low light CCD Camera Data
is just an awesome collection of links. I modified a supercircuits camera to have manual gain control, but now some better cameras seem to be widely available. I’ll have to look at this some more later.
Journalist fired for altering photo…
Los Angeles Times – Editor’s Note details the dismissal of Brian Walksi, former photographer for the LA Times. He produced an altered photograph of a British soldier directing Iraqi citizens to take cover by montaging two photos taken several seconds apart. The trouble is, some people appear in the resulting montage twice. Oops!
The L.A. Times has a policy that forbids the alteration of news photos, but one has to wonder just how much of this stuff slips by.
On a slightly lighter note, some some lighter uses of Photoshop can be found on the web.
