Sony Unveils the “World’s Best Mobile Camera” with the Announcement of the Xperia Z2
Earlier today, the 2014 Mobile World Congress took place in Barcelona, and it came packed with quite a few noteworthy stories. Nokia announced the immediate release of not one, but three Android-powered mid-range smartphone models; HTC announced its next entry to the mid-range Desire, sporting a 13MP camera; Samsung – well – remained Samsung with its overall minor update to the Galaxy S line (but hey – maybe that’s just my inner design critic getting frustrated at how much hasn’t changed about the phone’s look). Even if the Galaxy S5’s been grabbing most of the headlines for MWC, Sony still ended up bringing itself a good amount of attention with the products it unveiled today,
Out of them, the Xperia Z2 was what garnered the most interest. Sony’s latest addition to the Xperia line comes in bold colors, as well as bold promises; the waterproof phone packs a 20.7 megapixel camera, one which the company is proudly calling the “world’s best mobile camera”.

Photographers and Their Constitutional Rights: A Few Words from an NPPA Attorney
With cameras becoming more accessible and easier to use, we have more of an incentive to film anything interesting that’s happening within our view. It’s not just CCTV or a security camera that’s catching crimes happening on the street, and it’s not just LiveLeak that’s giving us videos of people acting out of line. And for every good cop out there, there’s a cop that feels threatened by the fact that his actions are more likely to be put on record.
Right now, it’s more important than ever that people know their rights when photographing anything; NPPA Attorney (National Press Photographer’s Association) Mickey H. Osterreicher recently sat down with PDN Pulse last thursday to give a few tips on the matter.

Movie Shows Photoshop “Body Retouching” Taken To Extreme
We’ve all seen before and after photos of models detailing how Photoshop “helps” them look at their best. It may be something minor like removing skin blemishes or a birth mark, or it can be something a bit bigger like tummy flattening or thinning down a model.
This 36 seconds video shows how Photoshop can be used to extreme to alter a model completely, including bigger eye, smaller but, longer legs and much more. Hit the jump to be shocked.
“Light Painting” Done With Light Emitting Algae
