News & Updates

So as I can figure this was available in the Android market – then it disappeared and stopped working for all customers, like me….. Now I hear the app or company or something was sold to Amazon? And now the Ultimate version is available from the Amazon store and it is now requiring people to re-download the app to get it to work – thou I have to say from reading the very unhappy reviews it might not even work there….. Anyone have any more info? http://www.amazon.com/PinGuo-Digital-Camera360-Ultimate/dp/B004JKAOP8 I know this is only 3.99 but when I email the company for support and they tell me the app was removed from the Android Market for no known reason I think someone might be full of it…. I am just trying to figure out who that might be.. this seems very petty for a company like Amazon…so I am hoping that all or most of the rumors are not true… I did like this app it was my photo app of choice…. +Amazon.com +camera360 I just wish someone would come forward from some company and either issue credits for those of us that paid or simply get us a version that will […]

Now get back to editing…. This shot is from years back but this is what you do when you cannot find models or locations and your main lens is at Nikon for repair…. I will cross my fingers on it getting flagged…..it might be borderline too sexy for G+…. we will see… nothing flagged so far here…. Also happy to hear opinions on the shot… I really had issues with this shot and the post processing there were so many different ways to go… I think I have 8 versions of this same shot….

Randomly flipping through +500px I found the work of: Maz Studios and +Magnus Svensson Really great stuff and some stunning models… that said he has some really well put together behind the scenes videos… Here is one… http://vimeo.com/31874580 (It does have some nudity – but it is very professional and the model is amazing – so it will not hurt your eyes…) The best thou is a quote on another more sexy BTS video: http://vimeo.com/14601806 The Quote: I did a shoot with 2 playboy girls in Sweden. Amazingly kind and fun girls. Truly a charming pair of ladies. This is a low-res movie only, sad to say, but it's better then nothing, right. Anyway, if you are sensitive to humans, you should not watch this since skin is visible. Maybe thats mostly a warning for the americans coz they go bezerk for some tits, but we in Sweden does not mind this natural thing.Hope you enjoy. ————————————————————————————————————————- That quote just made me laugh because he is exactly correct….sadly bezerk means flag or report as porn…..Many wish it was not that way… Great work +Magnus Svensson – Well worth following… maybe if more follow him he will use G+ more and […]

This might be helpful to those buying photographers gifts this Holiday… http://lenshawk.com/ FAQ Where does this data come from? Almost all lens data come directly from the lens manufacturers' websites. Lens specifications change from time to time and some may have been recorded poorly, so please advise all data is provided "as is" – what's stated on the retailer's website is what applies. If you see an error then please help us by reporting it to christian@baymard.com. How accurate are your prices? Most prices are fetched from Amazon.com – for items where Amazon and the lens manufacturer doesn't allow us to display the price, the latest available price is shown instead. For this reason the only way to get a 100% accurate price for the lens is to check the retailer's price. How does this differ from just searching at Amazon? On Amazon you have a very narrow set of filtering options. E.g. you can't get something as simple as a list all macro lenses that fit on a, say, Nikon camera, you can only get a list of lenses made by Nikon (thereby not showing other compatible lenses from manufacturers such as Sigma and Tokina). How does this differ […]

Behind the Lens – Photo Critique Let's call this a critique of what you do with images that you want to make different…. or push your normal style…. What do you do? How do you experiment? Do your experiments work or are you turned off by others that do not like those experiments? Do you forge ahead and try to push your work and your styles and are you worried about making mistakes and sharing them out for the world to see? Also feel free to critique this experiment in styles….. View this post on Google+

#circleof1 – +Ricardo Williams – Follow his work……… So in another installment of the Circle of One I would like to introduce +Ricardo Williams to those in my circles. For those that do not know I have been doing a Circle of One interview with upcoming photographers and those established ones who's work I like or simply they are great community members here on G+ What types of photography do you shoot? Hi Brent, thanks for this interview. I shoot mainly portraiture, HDR, architecture and street photography. My portraits include boudoir, glamour and sensual photography along with regular portraiture i.e., family, groups, business, couples and singles. Why did you become a photographer? Photography kind of just came to me. I was usually the one in the group with the camera taking the photos. While doing this I wanted my photos to not only be photos, but good photos; even at random and casual events. My friends and colleagues started given me good comments and reviews on my photography which prompted me to study and take it more seriously. I enjoyed every second of it. Soon after that I got my first Semi- Professional Camera and a little over a year […]

Do you use a todo list or todo list tool – if so which ones and have you found a balance between project management and a todo list? List up what you use and we can put together a list for others… I have used several and none of them seem to do what I need them to do for all the lists I need to make….thou some are project related and that can make for more issues… What do you use? Do you like it or hate it? and does it actually make you get more done or do you spend way too much time admining the list… Do you require syncing across multiple platforms?Do you need to print your lists?
