CALL FOR ENTRIES 2010 Noorderlicht Photofestival

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-03-25

Noorderlicht is a multifaceted and international podium for documentary photography that has embraces both traditional and non-traditional modes photographic story telling.

This year, the Photofestival is looking for work the explores the idea of the contemporary country side in non-Western areas.

Theme: non-Western rural areas
For its upcoming photo festival Noorderlicht wants to research the contemporary changes in non-Western rural areas. UN reports sketch a sombre picture of rural life in the non-Western world. The prospects for its inhabitants are even worse than those of the slum-dwellers in the cities. Poverty is rampant and there is a lack of schooling. Social mobility is limited to an exodus of the young to the city, so that the countryside is aging. It is expected that by 2030 only 40% of the world's population will be living in rural areas. In that year 80% of the urban population will be outside of the West, which means that particularly what are now smaller cities in Asia and Africa can expect rapid expansion by natural growth.

submissions for the 2010 Noorderlicht Photofestival are open until April 12th.

The festival is held from 5 September through 31 October (opening Sept 4th) with the Fries Museum as it's central location.

LENSPEN

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-03-25

The LensPen ($15) is an essential tool for keeping all kinds of optics ready for maximum performance. Small enough that you can clip it in your pocket or toss it in your bag, LensPen has two easily accessible working ends. Slide out the brush end first and use it to effectively remove all loose dust and dirt from the lens or eyepiece. The retractable brush, made natural goat hair, is so gentle it can do no damage to the optics, yet it’s so hardworking the dust vanishes.

That still leaves those pesky fingerprints or other grease blemishes on the glass. No problem for LensPen. Just take the cap off the other end and the flexible chamois tip, which matches surface shapes and countors, is ready to work.

That chamois tip, embedded with a carbon compound, is ready to tackle the toughest prints. It’s essentially the same principle that makes the use of newspapers still a popular home remedy for cleaning windows – the same carbon compound is used in printer’s ink. And the cap has a pad of carbon compound to constantly refresh the chamois.

There’s never anything to spray on, nothing to dry out or wear out, nothing to replace, so there’s no “expiration date” to a LensPen. And you can use it with confidence – whether you are in extreme desert heat or arctic cold – knowing that it can do no damage of any kind to your gear or the environment.
