| Feature: An eye for nature's whimsical moments |
| For many years, photographer Robin Loznak's photo credit has been popping up on MSNBC.com's Week in Pictures feature on a surprisingly regular basis. Loznak's knack for making offbeat, "found" nature images and animal photos has endeared him to the site's photo editors and readers alike. It has been an unusual level of consistent exposure for a photographer who has spent most of his 20-year career as a newspaper staff shooter in small towns. We asked Loznak how he gets so many cool nature pictures and what it's like making a go of it as a photographer far from the urban hubs. |

| Official White House photographer Pete Souza posts Canon EOS 5D Mark III picture to Flickr (updated) |
| The great majority of photographs captured of U.S. president Barack Obama, by his official photographer Pete Souza, have been taken with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The same is true of other members of the White House photo team; the all-Canon crew have used mainly that camera, the EOS 5D or the EOS-1Ds Mark III since Obama took office in January 2009. Late last week, Souza signaled that he has recently been giving the EOS 5D Mark III a whirl, when a picture shot with Canon's new 22.12 million image pixel digital SLR showed up in the White House's Flickr photostream. |
