The Nikon D300S Might Get A Replacement
For those of you that have been waiting for a follow-up to the popular Nikon D300s, you might be in luck because the cameras could quite possibly be making a comeback. The Nikon D300s was released in 2009 and many APS-C shooters have patiently been waiting for its successor, and after five years, they might actually get one soon. Nikon USA has moved the D300s from the active camera list to its archived list, meaning a new camera could be in the works. There were talks that Nikon would be releasing a D9300, which could have been the replacement to the D300s, but like all rumors you have to take it with a grain of salt. With talks of Canon releasing a the 7DMII in August, Nikon might very well release camera to counter it. For those who shoot with APS-C sensor cameras, you'll have some intriguing options to choose from if the rumors prove to be factual.

Klause Kampert's Water Erotica Shoot [NSFW]
Photos by Klause Kampert
Klause Kampert's work focuses on the human form, particularly women, as evident by the body of work he's created. He captures his subjects in a variety of ways each project being different from the previous one creating a style of his own. These aren't your typical portraits with each one having a specific message, and his latest collection, "Water Creatures," is no exception. When looking at the photos, you can see that the model and water are the focal points, and it shows how both the female body and water are one in the same. As Kampert states he'd rather "like to present the human being as a whole. Body and mind united." You can check out the Water Creatures series here, then you can check out more of his projects at his website here.

Nikon Dedicates $17.7 Million to Finally Repair D600 Issues
Nikon has certainly let down certain customers in a big way, more specifically, those who spent their money on the Nikon D600. The camera was plagued with oil and dust issues since its release, and Nikon did not handle the situation as one might have expected, leaving customers with cameras that were unusable. There was complete outrage from customers who bought the Nikon D600 because the company didn't ever really acknowledge the issue or provide a solution to the problem that many users were facing.
Now it looks like Nikon is finally manning up to the problem and is going to work on either repairing customer's cameras or completely replacing them. Nikon has set aside roughly $17.7 million to fix a problem that should have been handled earlier, and now it hopes to restore the confidence of the customers that had issues with the D600. As the company states it is "taking the matter very seriously." You can read the rest of the statement at Nikon's official website here.

Dysturb: Photojournalism Hits the Streets of Paris
Photos by Rafael Yagobzadeh
The internet has made it easier for photographers to showcase their work and get it out to the masses. However, it's because of this that your work can get lost in the mix with so much information floating around. When it comes to getting your stuff published in magazines, that becomes a whole other challenge... something that photojournalist Pierre Terdjam has faced time and time again. Due to the subject matter of his photography, he has found it almost impossible to get the photos he's taken published from his visits to Egypt, Georgia, and Afghanistan. He wants to share what he has seen in war-torn parts of the world and show people what is really going on.
In order to get his photos noticed, he and some friends created a project known as Dysturb, which involves wheat pasting their images that can get published all over the streets of Paris. Their photos are blown up to billboard-sized prints so the masses can get a glimpse of what life is like in places such as Ukraine and Egypt. The goal of this project is to raise awareness and tell the story of what is going on in parts of the world that many never see. The group hopes to inspire other photographers to think of different ways to get their work out into the world, and they plan on expanding into the U.S. You can check out some of their work in the gallery below.

This week’s featured Instagram comes from @whighfield. I really enjoy this Instagram gallery because you get a bunch of awesome imagery ranging from portraits to shots of the Big Apple. This photographer clearly has a great style, and I definitely enjoy her portraits, but what I think is really awesome are her shots that involve fog. There is something haunting about the images she captures, be it the scenery or someone walking through foggy weather. It's hard for me to explain all of this, so I'll let her photos do the talking below. Make sure head on over to her Instagram for more.

This week’s featured Instagram comes from @ditsen. I'm a really big fan of food photography, and some of my favorite accounts belong to those that are food photographers. I'm not talking about photos of someone's lunch from some fast food chain, but people that have a passion for creating in the kitchen. That's why I'm drawn to this Instagrammer's gallery because you can tell a lot of effort and creativity went into each dish and each photo. When going through her gallery, you'll get a lot of goodies and some other stunning landscape shots from time to time, but the focus here is the food. Be sure to check out some of her photos below, and head on over to her Instagram for more.

Adobe Reveals Touchscreen Version of Photoshop CC At Surface Pro 3 Event
It looks like Adobe is going to make a bigger push to enter the market of touch devices with its newest offering, a touch-friendly version of Photoshop CC. Adobe showed off this new version of Photoshop CC at Microsoft's launch of the Surface Pro 3, and from what Engadget reported, the app is a fully powered version and not just simply a mobile version with basic features. The new version features larger UI elements for easy use and is designed to be used with either a finger or stylus. Like other mobile products, you'll be able to interact with the screen with commonly used gestures like tapping, swiping, and pinch to zoom. As of right now, there is no time table as to when it will be released, but with the demo that Adobe gave, it will be interesting to see what other features they will have up their sleeves.
