Photography comes to your TV - kind of
February 13, 2008
Photography’s always been a visual medium so it’s nice to see a new site actually showing you how to get decent shots. It’s called PhotographyTV and despite its name it’s on the web. I talked to Peter Davey the chap behind it and he said that the web was the ideal place to run a TV site - after all most digital photographers spend their time in front of the computer rather than the TV.
Valentine’s Day! Canvas art is the best gift for your sweetheart!
February 1, 2008
Saint Valentine’s Day is coming soon! Every person tries to find something inimitable and very special for their beloved ones-something that vibrating with the good mood, which reflects character and inspires heart and soul for creating pure and beautiful the world of love. Nowadays we have got used to the huge diverse offerings, but sometimes this big pleasure and seeming comfort turns into an issue. Everybody has experienced this feeling when you come into the shop in order to buy a present and while walking about the shop you understand that among the wide range of goods, forms and colours you cannot find that one, very individual specialty you are looking for. Alluring print on canvas is an amazing present for your dear ones, as it is very extraordinary.

The curse of the third party lens strikes again. Sigma have issued a “service advisory” on some of their lenses and the Nikon D3 unfortunately the exact nature of the problem isn’t totally clear and in the UK at least there are confused messages about how this will be fixed and how much it will cost.

Hydra. HDR just got cool. And cheap.
January 22, 2008
There’s no doubt that HDR is a huge buzz at the moment. As a quick catchup it’s a method of expanding the tonal range of images captured by your digital camera - the theory is you use software to overcome hardware limitations that stop you capturing scenes as you remember them. It also makes for pretty cool pictures.
There’s been a slew of software to do this recently from the big daddy that is Photomatix to hobby applications written for specific applications. Most of them are reasonably hard to get your head round and tend to look pretty clunky. Not any more. HDR just got gorgeous - and cheap!
Mobile phone mouse
January 18, 2008
Take a look down at your desktop now (the real one not the computer desktop). Chances are there are a couple of things on it as well as your keyboard. I’m guessing there is a mouse and probably a mobile phone too. C’mon guys - this is the 21st century! Why are you still using both of those when you can combine them into 1.
Yep, as well as all the other features on your phone that you don’t use, you can now control a computer with it just like a mouse.

I told you not to buy Pixelmator….
January 13, 2008
Last week I told you not to buy Pixelmator yet because the MacHeist bundle was sure to include it.
Well, it’s true. $49 gets you 11 spanking Mac Apps including Pixelmator. And that’s less than the cost of Pixelmator.
There’s just one catch.
Tribeca Photobot Review
January 11, 2008
Imagine an application that can edit all of your pictures without you having to do anything.
Dream come true? Nightmare? Or another symptom that photographers are getting lazy and relying on automated post processing to avoid having to alter their camera’s controls?
