Unsurprisingly, the EOS 5D Mark III, announced just two days before the event, was the star of their stand and of the show, with long queues to get up close and personal with one.

In Act 1 you were the undisputed king of film. From Hollywood to Bollywood, some of the greatest movies ever made were captured on Kodak film. So too were some of the worst atrocities committed against humanity.

You’ll find more about Mike here, but long story short, he’s one of the best in the biz, having spent thirty years working for the likes of The Jim Henson Company, Lucas Film & Pixar, on films & television shows including The Muppets Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Return of The Jedi, Little Shop of Horrors, Who Framed Roger Rabbit…and, of course, The Toadlickers.
Adobe Lightroom is one of my all time favourite applications. I have been using it almost religiously since version 2 was first released, so when the public beta of Lightroom 4 became available three days ago, I downloaded it with some excitement.

This beta will co-exist with earlier installations of Lightroom, does not require a serial number or activation and will remain fully functional until the final version of Lightroom 4 is released.
