I've just purchased PhotoCalc for the iPhone. It's $2.99 and it does a number of things handy for photographers, including: Depth of Field and Hyper-focal Distance calculator Sunrise/sunset/solar noon calculator Reference section with glossary, and reference documents Configurable to use half or third stops Comprehensive camera database for Depth of Field calculations Should be well […]

I was quite pleased to get the first slot next to the exit at the Cincinnati Zoo. Unfortunately, when we came out, we found another car parked next to us in what is clearly not a parking space. We had almost no room to even get into the car let alone to load our stroller […]

WebKinz: the Beanie Baby of 2008. Collect them all! Spend hours online "playing" with them!

Looked a lot cooler in person. 🙂

My quick thoughts on Thomas Hawk's list: 1. Take great pictures. Duh. Though for awhile, this could have read "Take HDR pictures." 2. The order that you post matters. Good point. 3. Consider places outside of Flickr. Okay, but that's more about achieving overall success, isn't it? Success begets success though. 4. Configure Flickr settings […]

Suffice to say, Ian Poulter lost at least one fan today, if not tens or hundreds. Oh well - I got a funny story out of it.

Not much to say today, so instead I'll remind you to check out the Photo Battle Blog every day. Also, I'll soon have the opportunity to give the 300/2.8L a workout.

This is the scene of a Family Buck Night only 20 minutes before the first pitch is thrown. Handheld and stitched together automatically with the Photoshop "photomerge" command. No doubt I could have spent time doing it manually, but eh.

Move your mouse over the image here to see what I'm talking about: The flower is, in reality, some sort of purple flower. But blue and yellow are complementary colors, so shifting the magenta channel in Aperture towards blue results in what I believe is a "more pleasing" picture. I've posted this picture for tomorrow's […]

I'd like to make a pinhole camera (just something simple, out of a box or something) with instant film. I'm fairly certain I can find enough variations of pinhole camera online to suit my tastes, but I'm not so certain about the instant film: can it be found? Does it exist in larger sheets than […]

Lightroom 2.0's beta adds, like Aperture 2.0, the ability to have plugins. Unlike Aperture, Lightroom manages to allow plugins to edit data non-destructively ((This may or may not be true. I've read later reports that say Lightroom's plugin architecture is much weaker than Apple's, and that some plugins may have to act the same way […]

It's been nearly 50 days since Aperture 2.0 was released, yet we've still not heard much at all about the "image editing" plug-in capability that the software supposedly supports. Has Apple shared the API with anyone? Are they waiting, iPhone-style, for version 2.1 or something? Is there still a chance that an image editing plugin […]
