During a photo walk yesterday, we spotted two hawks going after each other. Unfortunately, one cannot capture images like these with an iPhone. Fortunately, I had my DSLR with a telephoto with me.
Canon EOS 5D, 70-200mm, 1.4x teleconverter. Processing note: Lightroom: Exposure boosted slightly, clarity boosted. Photoshop: Hawks masked and sharpened, grass blurred [...]

After the Macfriendly bundle was released (and did not really sell well), MacHeist is next. This time with a free bundle of 5+1 apps. Since it’s free, there is no reason for you to not get it, so grab it now.

Olympus E-P2 @ iphonephotovideo.com iphone photo video ipod touch itouch icamera ipad itablet

We’ve written extensively about the new micro 4/3 standard. Why I think it might be the technology of choice for my ideal travel camera, why Panasonic will not win against Olympus despite having the better camera with the GF1 and why Leica has the best travel camera (although it’s not micro 4/3 based).
So it [...]

I’m known to shop the modern way – when being out there shopping, I take pictures of merchandize with my iPhone as reminders to research them later in order to make a buying decision. Of course, this can get embarrassing when, e.g., a clerk watches me in a bookstore taking pictures of books. [...]

Canon Easy-PhotoPrint @ iphonephotovideo.com iphone photo video ipod touch itouch icamera ipad itable

I’ve been printing on Canon printers for years. While Canon cameras often come bundled with worthless “shovel-ware” software, Canon’s printer software, Easy-PhotoPrint, is actually worth installing, since it makes it a snap to print images. In fact, I often use it to print 4×6 photos taken with my iPhone, although I would never [...]

Sunrise Sunset @ iphonephotovideo.com iphone photo video ipod touch itouch icamera ipad itablet

Sunrise Sunset is an iPhone app that allows you to track sunrise and sunset right from your iPhone.
The app comes in three flavors:
The Sunrise Sunset LITE version allows you to track sunrise and sunset for your current location. While it is free, that is simply too limiting for me.
