Monday:  Adding or Removing Noise – after a short discussion on the merits of each,  I give my top three methods for reducing noise in your images.

Tuesday:  Removing Noise Tutorial – Photoshop and Noise Ninja are featured in this short tutorial to show the benefits of third party software over native noise reduction methods in image editors.

Wednesday:  The Noise Free day – What’s This? Week 10, with a new image to guess on.

Thursday:  The benefits of keeping noise in your images…check out the photos of the day (or week actually) to see how added noise can actually enhance a shot.

Friday:  TBD – Stop in to CanonBlogger to see all the latest!

Got ideas for a weekly discussion?  Stop over to the blog and tell me in the comments or via email…the address, as always, is jason <AT> canonblogger <DOT> com.  Until next week, happy shooting!

Here’s just a few of the links to rumors about the 50D:

The housekeeping suspicion for the blog came true too: there will be no tutorial for this week folks – just too busy to get one recorded in time. As I have an event to shoot at work tonight I suspect that the post tomorrow will be the “no blog” day…but I’ll try to make it back here Thursday to share some more detailed shots and thoughts from the photowalk last Saturday.

Until Thursday then, happy shooting and watch those apertures!

Invisible Green – Marcus shares a shot from this past weekend with his family, very cute!

Jen Rinaldi – More clouds from jen on her weekend, and some other cool street photography. Great vision and captures as always!

Jenny Arnez – Another great site for street-style photography (and also for beach shots this weekend again – are all Jens at the beach this weekend?) ☺

John Nack – Very well-known and regarded, he shares a link to a site titled “Dear Adobe”. Not often will you find a company spokesperson who willingly will point you to another site that is nothing but rants and vents about their own company (just goes to show you how cool a place Adobe is). Read this blog – it’s on many peoples’ “must read” lists – including mine!

Laughing Lion Design – In case the P&P isn’t enough for you, Jennifer has a list of PODCASTS to listen to. I listen to several of these myself. Great resource here.

Michael Palmer – The third portion of Jason Moore’s fill-in P&P crew was waylaid from his travels, but he nevertheless shared some great floral/insect shots from his trip. Thanks for sharing Michael, your posts are always a pleasure to read.

Black and White Photography – Some more IR to be sure, but the ones that are back to the “traditional” blac and white theme of the blog are great! And the fact that he used theterm flautist was sufficiently impressive! (My sister was a flautist in college – kept playing until she had kids…)

Photography of J Brian Haferkamp – A long-awaited update, he shares shots from Millenium Park in Chicago! Gorgeous city, and great captures Brian!

PhotoKY – Always thoughtful and intriguing posts, Ken outdoes himself this week. Another MUST READ!

Finally, as a house-keeping sort of note, I am going to have to put the weekly tutorials on hold here at CB for a while as I had been using my Windows box for this purpose, and it is now on it’s final legs with 3 thermal shutdowns in the past 24 hours, and one instance of not finding the boot drive. Thankfully, the images and podcast materials are all on a secondary, as well as on a USB drive. Now, if only I could find a good Mac replacement for Camtasia, I’d be set! Any advice, suggestions or feedback would be welcome!

So, it’s likely back to audio podcasts (or videos of me) from the Mac for now. Tomorrow will likely be a no-blog day though as I will have a very busy day (unless I can get it done in advance). So, look for shots from the photowalk on Wed. as well as a new tutorial! Until then, happy shooting and keep watching those apertures!
