has launched a new
video explaining the
advantages of using
network attached storage (NAS) systems. For photographers capturing more photos and
videos than they ever have before, a NAS system may be the solution. In our video,
professional photographer Anthony McKee takes a look at Synology’s DiskStation 5-Bay
NAS Server, a purpose-built hardware and software solution designed to help you
safeguard your images and videos and ensure they are accessible wherever you are in the
world.

Fujifilm has announced the addition of the new X-E2s model to its range of
mirrorless cameras.
According to Fujifilm the X-E2s is a compact, durable and lightweight mirrorless
camera that inherits its functionality and rangefinder-style design from the X-E2.
Among the features of the new model is a Real Time Viewfinder with 2.
million dot organic EL display with 0.62x magnification and an electronic
viewfinder with a claimed world’s shortest display time lag of 0.005 seconds.
The new X-E2s weighs 350 grams and boasts a new AF system with zone
and wide/tracking modes for capturing moving subjects, improved grip for easy
handling, electronic shutter, top plate dials, and a more intuitive Graphic User
Interface (GUI).
The new camera is also fitted with an APS-C X-Trans3 CMOS II sensor with
built-in phase-detection AF and an EXR Processor II image processing engine for
faster autofocus and startup time.
Other features include: Eye Detection AF; Auto Macro; Film Simulation modes;
silent electronic shutter capable of exposures up to 1/32,000 second; Full HD video
with the X-TRANS CMOS II sensor; built-in Wi-Fi.
The X-E2s is available this month. RRP is $1399 with an XF18-55mm lens.Clarification
In the February issue of Australian Photography we
announced that Graeme Guy had won the Photographer
of the Year and Nature Photographer of the Year for 2015.
Regrettably we have since concluded that as a resident of
Malaysia, Graeme does not meet the terms and conditions
of the competition which state, ‘to be eligible to win a
prize the entrant must be a resident of Australia or
New Zealand’.
This should in no way take away from the amazing
portfolio submitted by Graeme, and it is important to note
that Graeme has at all times been completely open about
his residential status. While we sought assurances from all
winners and runners up that they meet the competition
criteria, including amateur status, we did not recognise
that although Graeme is a New Zealand national, the fact
he resides in Malaysia made him ineligible to win the
prize. We apologise for this oversight.
It has always been our intention to create a competition
that is as fair as possible and we will improve our systems
and processes to avoid such problems in the future.
As a consequence of Graeme’s withdrawal from the
competition, the overall 2015 Photographer of the Year
is Dasha Riley. Jorgen Rasmussen is the 2015 Nature
Photographer of the Year while Nick Terry is the Nature
Runner Up.
All winners and runners up have confirmed in writing
that they are Australian or New Zealand residents, and
that they meet the competition’s criteria for amateur
status, having not earned more than $2000 from
photography in a calendar or financial year at the time of
entering the competition.AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHY MARCH 2016PHOTO: DASHA RILEY
