Create a bokeh-rific panorama!
One of my favourite photographers on Flickr posts some excellent tutorials on his blog, and I stumbled across this how-to guide on how to create a bokehrama (a panoramic photo with lots of nice blurry bokeh). I hadn't realised the work and effort that went into the resulting image. Nice effect and I shall have to give it a go in 2010!

3DVista - panoramic photos in one shot
A friend asked me about taking some shots of their flat today and was wondering how estate agents take those 360 shots of rooms. Well, he found THIS very cool tool... the 3DVista one shot lens. Takes 360 degree panoramics in one shot, and unwarps the shot with included software. Very handy if you're an estate agent, or even for landscape shots.

In the real world, one never encounters true white or black-- only varying degrees of light source intensity and subject reflectivity. Therefore the concept of dynamic range becomes more complicated, and depends on whether you are describing a capture device (such as a camera or scanner), a display device (such as a print or computer display), or the subject itself."
