iPHOTO FROM APPLE APPEARS to be the gold standard when it comes to easily moving photos from camera to computer and manipulating the files in all manner of ways until you're content. Does anyone know of a single Windows application that is roughly comparable to iPhoto? That will be part of the solution to these things: Digital photography the Lomography way?. Though I'm far, far from being an "artiste" of a photographer, I want to do neat things with my camera. I want to capture some moments, some feelings, try some odd things. It's like hacking with light. I see the kinds of things done with the Lomo cameras, warm and... [0xDECAFBAD] 5:20:22 PM     Comments[]

GUYS WITH BIG HANDS HAVE trouble holding some of these tiny cameras steady. A day will come when someone will begin to plot photo quality against camera size and weight. This won't be a function of optics, but of handling! It will be interesting to see how this form factor from Sony is received. The tiny Sony DSC-U10. Sony has today announced their smallest and lightest digital camera the DSC-U10. This tiny 1.3 megapixel digital camera weighs in at just 118 g (4.2 oz) fully loaded, has a fixed focal length lens, one inch... [Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)] 5:05:35 PM     Comments[]

IMPROVING YOUR WEBLOG Use Mark's tips and these Day 14: Adding titles to links. What with weblogs being all about links, you would think more people would know about the title attribute, but I rarely see it. For those who don't know, all links can have a title, specified by the title attribute of the tag. This is in addition to whatever link text you specify. The title of a link generally shows up as a tooltip in visual browsers, but it can be presented in non-visual browsers as well. Not all links should have titles. If the link text is the name of an article, don't add a title; the link text itself is descriptive enough. But if you read the link text by itself, out of context, and can't figure out what it points to, add a title. [dive into mark] 8:20:06 AM     Comments[]
