		<title>International Rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday evening.  7.30.  Getting ready to go to see &#8220;Watchmen&#8221;.
Like many people, I check my mobile phone periodically to see if I&#8217;ve missed any calls.  At 7.32 I saw that I&#8217;d missed two from a friend who I knew was in Spain on holiday.  Weird.  Surely something serious has happened if he&#8217;s ringing me while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mozy Remote Backup: First Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although PCs are shipping with huge data storage, few people back-up their data properly.Â  I imagine that there are millions of people that don&#8217;t even back-up their photos, instead entrusting the security of their memories to a bunch of precise, high-speed components that require just the smallest piece of dust to cause total failure.

I regularly [...]]]></description>

		<title>FomaPan 200 in Ilfosol 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Going on suggestions from the Ilford Photo forum I processed this in Ilfosol 3. 1+14 dilution for 6 minutes at 20 celcius, five inversions every 30 seconds.
It&#8217;s been scanned with an HP ScanJet 4890, in 24-bit colour, and then converted to monochrome using PhotoShop&#8217;s &#8220;Channel Mixer&#8221; adjustment layer.

		<title>Lucky SHD400 &amp; Ilford Ilfosol S</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Iâ€™ve just processed a roll of [someone else's] Lucky SHD400 in Ilfosol S.  I gambled on using a 1+9 dilution for 6.5 minutes.  The negative looks fine, though I havenâ€™t scanned anything yet.
Update
Hereâ€™s a sample scan from the film, courtesy of sunflowerdave.

		<title>It&#8217;s just carbon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A month&#8217;s salary buys you about 120 tonnes of one or .6 carats of the other.
I cannot even begin to imagine how much pain I&#8217;ll be in, for a very long time, if this photo ever ends up on the internet.
Strobist: Nikon D80 &#38; Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro with SB600 off-camera-right on 1/8 with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you stealing from your wedding photographer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carrie Kirby posted this at wisebread.com.  It was removed a few hours later, possibly because it condones copyright theft.
We&#8217;re having a children&#8217;s photographer work our daughter&#8217;s first birthday party, so we can give each set of guest parents a photo to remind them of this wonderful first year.
Luckily, the photographer has agreed to relinquish [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harlequin Ladybird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  
For some reason we get ladybirds in our bathroom all year round.  Only ever one at a time, but they can appear at any time.
This shot took about 8 attempts to get.  This wing-opening sequence lasts about a second before the shell closes, so this was far more luck than judgment.

		<title>PhotoAnswers &#8211; EMAP&#8217;s latest venture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[EMAP, the publisher behind &#8220;Digital Photo&#8221; and &#8220;Practical Photography&#8221; magazines, re-launched their photography web site this week.  As a replacement to the aging, crumbling http://www.photographymags.co.uk/ site, http://www.photoanswers.co.uk/ was promised to be a first-rate development.  However, this has turned out to be anything but the reality.
A combination of poor design, poor structure, and shockingly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  
Easily done.  You&#8217;re about to clean your teeth and you accidentally put your speedlight in your mouth and your camera magically takes a photo, firing the flash in the process.
If you ever get cold teeth, try this.  It&#8217;s warming.

		<title>Fixing a family photo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[punkysmonky asked for help on making this photo better.  As you can see the background is a bit cluttered &#8211; the black should reach all the way up the frame, or the white should reach to the floor.  That aside, it&#8217;s a lovely family portrait, so it was worth half an hour of [...]]]></description>
