Adobe has rolled out some cool new features into the online Photoshop Express product. Here are a few of the key items:

Flickr integration
Photoshop Express is now officially hooked up with Flickr. Now you can pull photos from Flickr into Photoshop Express, amp them up, then upload them back into Flickr to show them off to your vast and adoring fan base.

CameraPorn.net is a great photography blog in it’s own right and they just put up a list of 60 photography sites that you should most certainly have bookmarked. Included at #8 is (our former name) L7Foto.com. Thanks guys for giving us a shout-out and keep up the great work on your own site.

L7Foto.com has been growing by leaps and bounds but the problem is that when you tell someone L7Foto.com they remember L7Photo.com which belongs to someone else. To make it easier to find and tell people the URL we have changed the name to CameraDojo.com. This new name is reflective of our style of providing news, information, tutorials, and tips in a central location. We have lots of new things planned for CameraDojo.com so stay tuned and thanks for coming!

Santa Rosa, Calif. – Think Tank Photo today released three new or completely upgraded rolling bags that provide more protection and security for transporting heavy and expensive photography gear. All three rollers feature advanced security features, such as front and back cable locks, a TSA lock, and the Security Plate “Lost and Found” service.

I have had the opportunity to shoot with a number of other people as both the “second” photographer as well as being the primary photographer. Today I want to talk about my feelings about shooting with other people as my own experience has covered the gamut from extremely enjoyable to absolutely horrible. So while this is not a technical article by any means, it is my own opinion as to how shooting with someone else can be both a rewarding, educational, and enjoyable experience.
