Nissin announced the release of the flash Nissin Di466 for the system 4 / 3 and micro 4 / 3. Prior to this outbreak were similar model for the system Canon / Nikon
Guide number – 33, that the power is comparable to the original flash Olympus FL-36, but thanks to four batteries, recharge time is reduced to 4 seconds (after the flash at full power.)
Flash Nissin Di466 has a zoom lens covers an angle of 24-106 mm of EGF, which is more than covers the field of whale lens (28-82 mm EGF).
Naturally, the flash has a TTL automatic adjustments with quick-1.5EV / +1.5 Ev with step 0.5Ev
flash head rotates only in a vertical plane, which still limits the use of indoor shooting.
There is a backlight auto-focus mode and wireless.
Estimated cost – £ 89 / $ 129, which is very bad, considering the high cost of native Olympus FL- 36R (about 11.12 tr.) It seems to me an excellent choice for beginning photographers!

HDR-photo in Lightroom – using the plug-Hydra
The company has released a plug-in Hydra Creaceed for Lightroom 2. The plugin is compatible with the version of LightRoom 2 (32/64 bit version).
Hydra – an application for creating HDR-pictures. The principle of the plugin is simple – photos from LightRoom’a will simply be exported (in the process of the module develop, for example) to complete application Hydra, but after already processed photo will be placed in the directory again LightRoom’a …
Thus for the plugin you must install the full application is Hydra, which costs $ 79.95
More information about the plugin on our homepage – http://www.creaceed.com/hydra/
all sounds great of course and even downloaded and even tried to install … but then it turned out that all this happiness for Macintosh’ey … Ay-yay, I’m sorry … Do you, dear readers, many of Macy’s?
And again on HDR and LightRoom …
He said again, and say two.
Perhaps the finish at the expense of plug-ins for LightRoom for the first time. On a tip from Di say a few words about Photomatix Pro .
Originally, it was and is a complete program for creating HDR images. But the developers of fellows that did not stop only on stand-alone version and expanded integration capabilities, allowing to associate with PhotoMatix not only PhotoShop, and LightRoom.
Going forward, I would say that is the case with a bright room turned out quite simply … and crooked, that Do …
So, installing the regular version and extracting PhotoMatix plugin folder with LightRoom (mine is C: Program Files Adobe Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.5 Photomatix.lrplugin), find the menu File -> Plug-in Manager, our plug-in.
Configure options exports – that is, format, which will be transferred to RAW-files from LightRoom in Photomatix. This is done in the menu “File-Export”.
