Henry Talbot is an iconic name in Australian photography, so to have 80 of his never-before-seen images from the Swinging Sixties assembled in an exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria is a rare treat.

This friendly kookaburra, brought even closer with a 300mm zoom lens, had an inquisitive look in his eyes.
Take the next Photo Challenge: Light and shade
Light and shade are the very essence of photography and for our challenge we’re asking you to create a pair of images, in which first one and then the other dominates.
Photo Challenge winner: It’s only square
Back in Issue 66 we challenged photographers to ‘think inside the square’. We asked for images to be cropped to a square aspect ratio – and to include something square.
How to scan photos at the right resolution
You can calculate the scanning resolution you require by measuring the original picture. Because resolution is normally expressed in inches, calculations are easiest when the dimensions of the original are in inches as well.
Serenity
By Marwan El Hassan.
Macro photography is my ultimate passion, my addiction, and my drive in life. I take all my time to slowly savor every moment when I take photos like this one. I shot this daisy in the botanic gardens in Canberra. Daisies are among my favorite subjects. I love the texture of this particular flower. It talks to me, and it invites to think of the non-ending layers that go deeper and deeper inside the flower. I was lucky that day without any wind (a rare thing in Canberra), so I used only a reflector and natural light. Most often, if I can, I prefer to shoot flowers without using a flash, to maintain the natural look and color. This photo to me has a hint of Zen feeling, with the middle of the flower serving as a point of concentration and meditation. To me at least, the whole process of shooting, processing and looking at this photo is indeed a very meditative experience. My hope is to convey the same perception and feelings to other viewers.
