A Grand Canyon Wedding
I'm posting this video of a Grand Canyon wedding because it reminds me of the small, intimate, and spectacularly beautiful weddings that regularly take place in Sedona. The Grand Canyon, for those of you who may not know, is about 120 miles north of Sedona. As someone who has shot weddings in both locations -- Sedona and the Grand Canyon -- I think Sedona is by far the more photogenic location!
That said, I thought the wedding Jared photographed was especially beautiful -- the couple, the ceremony, the location, the weather, the images Jared captured, all made this wedding something special...

Time-Lapse Auroras Over Norway
One of the largest auroral displays in recent years has appeared at the border between Norway and Russia, shown in this time-lapse animation near Kirkenes, Norway by Terje Sørgjerd in March 2011.
Aurora are often green when high energy particles strike the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the air to glow as electrons recombine with oxygen. Other colors are occasionally noticeable when atmospheric nitrogen is affected.

Why Photoshop for iPad Marks the End of the Desktop Computing Era
By Jesus Diaz
Gizmoto
The real Photoshop for iPad exists. Adobe showed it yesterday and it looks like a solid digital darkroom. But, more importantly, it marks another step in the ongoing evolution that is changing the way humans interact with machines. One that, in fact, is putting back our human nature into computing.
The new Adobe app just confirms the paradigm shift that is already happening, another piece towards something that I predicted even before the iPad was announced: We are witnessing the beginning of a new computing era, after the punch cards, the mainframe, the command line PC and the mouse with its graphical user interface...

All of these facilities have resumed their operation now with reopen by yesterday, March 30 of Sendai Nikon Corporation and Miyagi Nikon Precision Co., Ltd.
It has been becoming clearer that we will be able to secure parts/components including their replacements through our investigation of the current conditions and possible measures to secure the procurement in our collaboration with our business partners. However, we have a concern that the situation may continue where our production cannot fully satisfy our customers’ requirement due to inability of full swing production worsened by the planned blackouts of electricity. While we will do our utmost effort to overcome such expected difficulties, we will be most grateful if our customers could understand such circumstances.
Forecast of effect by the damage to our business performances

Video: Creating A Hubble Galaxy In Two Minutes
Hubble images are made, not born. Images must be woven together from the incoming data from the cameras, cleaned up and given colors that bring out features that eyes would otherwise miss. In this video from HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope, a Hubble-imaged galaxy comes together on the screen at super-fast speed.
Learn more about how Hubble images are made by visiting Behind the Pictures.
