The deadline for entries to the 2009 Master Photography Awards has been extended to August 12th, 2009.
All entries must be received at MPA – Jubilee House, 1 Chancery Lane, Darlington DL1 5QP – by close of business on Wednesday August 12th. Each entry should consist of an unmounted print (10 x 8 or A4) which either shows the image area only of a final print, to be mounted and sized appropriately on a 20 x 16 mount; or shows a 1/4 size reproduction of the finished 20 x 16 exhibition print. This must be made from the same image file to be used for the final print, on the same materials, with the same finish (but not mounted).

Tags: clip, D5000, HD, movie, Nikon, sample
I have put together a quick HD video sample using the Nikon D5000. This is currently the lowest cost HD-video capable DSLR, and after testing it alongside others, I decided to buy one. The level of detail present in the 720p D5000 frames exceeds the 1080p Canon standard which uses more compression and processing, and it is possible to set the aperture and effective shutter speed using A, S or M modes. Locking the exposure is also a simple action. The sample is worth viewing using the HD option if you have fast broadband.
