I can’t wait for the LensBaby Composer to be released…check out this unfortunately low quality YouTube video of the co-founder of LensBaby demostrating the Composer attached to a Nikon D90 in video mode: One of the first things I thought about when I heard about the D90’s video capabilities was the ability to do tilt…
I’ve only barely had time to play with the D90 video mode – let alone even get familiar with all the controls and options but here’s a couple videos taken with in HD mode (720p, 24fps, 1280×720) – nothing remotely fantastic, just what I’ve had time to do so far: A tripod would have been…
I caved…and love it so far: Bought the D90 with the 18-105mm VR lens. Sample video (in ‘cinematic 24fps HD’) and pics from the camera coming soon…need to charge the battery first.
I spent most of yesterday on Granville Island at BarCamp 2008 and it was a blast. Things actually started off Friday night at WorkSpace for the opening night party and then up bright and early for the actual ‘unconference’ on Saturday. This year, I helped organize PhotoCamp which is one of the few pre-determined ‘tracks’…
BarCamp is happening this weekend and a component of that is PhotoCamp. What would like to talk about this year? Submit your topics here in the comments or on the wiki. A few things that are on the table which will be finalized this Saturday include: a photowalk around Granville Island RAW vs JPG –…
Just found this app tonight and bought it on the spot. CameraBag (iTunes App Store link) lets you play with any photos you have on your iPhone as well as take new ones in a number of unique ways. Starting with a photo I already had in my library (from a recent trip to Hawaii…
Today, Apple announced a number of new things at it’s “Let’s Rock” event and I have to say, I was a little surprised and disappointed. First of all, new iPod Nanos were revealed. Not really that surprising as the spy photos and rumour leaks were pretty strong this time around. I SO don’t need the…
I thought it might be fun to pit my $37 fisheye lens adapter against the $800 Olympus 8mm fisheye lens. Of course, there probably isn’t any contest here at all as the Olympus lens is simply stunning but the lens adapter is no slouch either. But I decided it might be fun to take some…
Here’s an inexpensive way to add a macro mode to your iPhone. By default, the iPhone’s camera isn’t that great…let alone for macro (closeup) shots. Simply holding a magnifying glass (or plastic) lens in front of the iPhone’s camera will let you get a lot closer (and in focus): Normal: Macro: Normal: Macro: The lens…
With 720p HD video support, this is going to make my next camera upgrade choice a difficult one. Of course it’s not a ‘pro’ camera but the hd video support changes a few things as far as I’m concerned. Get all the details to see for yourself. Be sure to check out the HD demo…
