Photography April Fools
Has anyone seen any good April Fools relating to photography this year?Bruce Percy sent out an innocuous looking newsletter with offers of a sale on prints, and included an article - as he often does - with hint/tips. Today it was about the perils of being a winter landscape photographer and hitting the white pixel limit on your camera due to too many snowy scenes! He had a few tips on how to avoid running out of white pixels, such as dialing down the exposure, or shooting snow scenes at night when it's dark. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 https://www.olympus-imagespace.co.uk/tattoos/
However despite calling it "Olympus April Fools' Day Promotion ("Promotion")" in the T&Cs it might be legit?!?!? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Crikey! Reminds me of the time Dominos in Russia offered people up to 100 pizzas per year if they got the company logo tattooed on a visible part of their body. Surprisingly, they had to halt the promotion after the first 350 (three hundred and fifty!) people got tattoos!
At least the Olly one is only temporary tattoos!

Edit: typo! A7SIII / A8S ?

The Minolta Sony A Mount is Dead: Sony a99 II Just Discontinued I didn't realise there were still manufacturing A-mount cameras given the focus they've had on E-mount and now FE-mount plus the decline in the DSLR market
