Tale Of A Top-10 App, Part 1: Idea And Design

Tale Of A Top-10 App, Part 1: Idea And Design Tale Of A Top-10 App, Part 1: Idea And Design By Jeremy Olson July 4th, 2013 Apps, Case Studies, IOS 0 Comments My name is Jeremy Olson. I’m a senior in college, living in Charlotte, North Carolina, and this is the story of how my little app Languages beat Angry Birds. Large view. I’m writing this because I believe we learn much more from success than from failure. It took Edison thousands of failed attempts to invent the electric light bulb, and it would be foolish for us to reinvent it based on trial and error, now that we have a working model....

The Latest In The Evolution Of The Real Estate Photographer/Videographer Directory

The Latest In The Evolution Of The Real Estate Photographer/Videographer Directory I wanted to bring up the PFRE Real Estate Photographer Directory again because back in mid-May when we launched this new version of the directory there were a few problems where directory registrations would not be successful if you ran into an error entering your data. We have that  fixed now so if you had troubles earlier you might try registering again. It’s working pretty well. Directory History Is User Driven Over the years the evolution of this directory has been user driven. The Directory is a way blog readers can benefit from the fact the PFRE blog has high google ranking for the...

Merge to 32 bit – HDR technique comparisons

Merge to 32 bit – HDR technique comparisons HDR is an often discussed and debated subject in photography circles. There’s much talk about “bad” HDR, or a whether or not one should even do it in the first place. I think a lot of that stems from what I’d consider to be overdone, over-processed versions. IS MERGE TO 32-BIT A SOLUTION FOR BAD HDR? Depending on the software used to make your tone-mapped HDR images you may be given an option to view and/or save a 32-bit version. Prior to Lightroom 4 we there wasn’t really much we could do with such a file so most photographers never bothered saving it....

10 Travel Photography Tips to Help Avoid Regrets When You Get Home

Now I want to share them with you so you don’t need to learn the worst way. The tips apply for professional jobs and for your vacation pictures. 1.

Davide Monteleone wins Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award

Davide Monteleone wins Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award Davide Monteleone was selected as the Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award winner in 2012, but his name had been kept secret until today for security reasons, as the photographer produced an extensive body of work in Chechnya. The photographer won a €50,000 grant, which will also finance the production of a book and exhibition of the work to be unveiled in October in Paris. “Today Chechnya is an autonomous republic in the Russian Federation,” say the awards’ organisers. “Davide Monteleone went there very briefly for the first time in 2003 on a press...

Metabones introduces Nikon G-type Speed Booster for NEX and Micro Four Thirds

This adapter is simply the inverse of a teleconverter. The DPReview writeup on the EOS-NEX version of this adapter was a hodgepodge of misinformation, and even got the definition of f-number wrong. This adapter simply decreases the focal length, and because f-number is defined as the ratio of focal length to aperture diameter, the f-number decreases by the same percentage as the decrease in focal length. The change in focal length nullifies the effect of the crop factor, when using a lens designed for FF, on APS-C. BUT, if you use this with a lens designed with expectation of the crop...

Building A Portable Design Toolkit

Building A Portable Design Toolkit Building A Portable Design Toolkit By Martin Gittins July 3rd, 2013 Inspiration, Techniques, Tools 1 Comment It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the staggering array of resources and options available to designers. In this article, we’ll explore the idea of consciously restricting yourself to a set of core tools that you know, love and trust. Take a traditional craftsman — let’s say a carpenter. While they may have access to a wide range of tools in their workshop, they will take a bag with just a few carefully chosen tools when working away....

Shooting Elevated Exterior Shots With The Gitzo Series 5 Giant Tripod

Shooting Elevated Exterior Shots With The Gitzo Series 5 Giant Tripod I heard from Cal Mitchener in Charlotte, NC  yesterday. First of all Cal reports that his years of hard work focusing on great customer service and quality work are paying off. He says his business is very successful, and he’s doing 3 to 5 shoots a day (shoots all day and does post all night). He no longer promotes his business yet, gets a continuous stream of direct referrals. He’s raised his prices this year and expects to raise them again at the end of the year. One thing that Cal was particularly excited about his new Gitzo Series 5 and how easy it lets him shoot elevated exterior...

The Basics of Using ND Grads to Improve Your Landscapes

The Basics of Using ND Grads to Improve Your Landscapes For this image, I used a 4-stop hard-edged ND grad to hold back the sky. I also used a 5-stop ND filter to slow the exposure enough to get the water silky smooth. 6 seconds, f/16, ISO 100. EOS 5D Mark III with EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II. As I’ve written before, the hardest part of landscape photography is retaining detail in a bright sky with a darker foreground.  There are several ways to deal with this issue. The newest ways involve various post-processing techniques in Photoshop or Lightroom, or using High Dynamic Range photography to blend several exposures...

How To Improve an Image with 2 Steps in Photoshop Using Screen Mode

How To Improve an Image with 2 Steps in Photoshop Using Screen Mode A Guest Post by Sergey Sus/ Wanted to share a very simple way for improving a photo without having to change the exposure. I use this method quite often and sometimes even after adjusting exposure. The image is of a small hillside town in North California called Sausalito taken while on vacation. Here the SOOC (straight out of the camera) image before any adjustments are applied or any cropping. It is just a bit under exposed and very flat looking. Certainly there are many ways to brighten a photo in Photoshop like using Curves, Levels or Shadow layers. For this...

‘Liking Isn’t Helping’ – ad campaign uses jarring press photos to spur action

Well, what might be the “best” way to raise money for disaster relief? Challenge #1 is to get attention. Remember, the sea of potential donors will prefer the sensational, even the lurid, over the bland. Scenes of pain and destruction are the only plausible tools. An abstract or sermonizing plea is doomed. Attention-grabbers don’t necessarily raise money, but money won’t come without attention. Otherwise, how to explain the countless articles, stories, or pictures about certain social celebrities? Publishers and editors count the hits and conclude, correctly,...

Taming The Email Beast

Taming The Email Beast Taming The Email Beast By Paul Boag July 2nd, 2013 Business, Useful, Workflow 5 Comments In the 1950s, when consumer electronics such as vacuum cleaners and washing machines emerged, there was a belief that household chores would be done in a fraction of the time. We know now it didn’t work out that way. Our definition of clean changed. Instead of wearing underwear for multiple days, we started using a fresh pair every day, and so the amount of washing required increased. In short, technology enabled us to do more, not less. Our work environments have followed a similar path. Tools such as...

Vivian Maier – The Secret Nanny Street Photographer: BBC Documentary Part 1

We’ve posted about the remarkable story of Vivian Maier in the past here on dPS. Vivian was a nanny who worked in a number of families – none of which knew she had a secret life of a street photographer. Over the years she took over 100,000 images between the late 1940′s through to the 1990s – showing them to nobody but storing them in a storage locker which was only discovered after her death when the contents were auctioned without really knowing what treasure was in the negatives and slides in it. Her images have now been catalogued and a documentary is...

Just posted: Our Canon EOS 70D hands-on preview

@yabokkie – it’s still a 20mp sensor. No need for “those who have little knowledge of image sensor technology” to jump to the irrational conclusion that it’ll actually deliver 40mp of resolution. I’m sure that if the new sensor actually delivered abundantly more resolution, Canon would have gladly bragged about it. But clearly, it just means that two photodiodes are used to make a *single* pixel, and that the *dual pixel* phrase only refers to the two photodiodes being used for phase detection. In reality, a more apt phrase would have been...

Just posted: Pentax MX-1 review

Because: a) the RX100 and RX100 two are $700 and $800 cameras. Variety of price points is what makes the camera industry work. b) with cameras smaller doesn’t mean better, as to get the RX100 so small, Sony had to cripple it with a dog slow f/4.9 max aperture at 100mm. Which means the MX-1 actually has more shallow DOF than the RX100 at full tele, meaning for subject/background isolation, the MX-1 is actually more useful. c) the RX100 gets less than 1 EV better high ISO performance. The number of people who need their P&S to produce clean ISO 3200 images is much less than...

Rural Or Semi-Rural Properties For Sale Benefit From An Aerial Map With Property Boundaries

Rural Or Semi-Rural Properties For Sale Benefit From An Aerial Map With Property Boundaries Last week I did a shoot for some home sellers on a semi-rural property in the mid- Willamette Valley and I made them a custom google map  that shows the property lines of their property. This can be a huge help when marketing properties where the property lines are not obvious like they are on most suburban lots. There are some locations where if you click on the Map button in the upper right of the Google Maps and toggle the map mode to non-satellite the property boundaries will actually show on the google map (this address is one of those locations – Google appears to have integrated...

Fine Art Painterly Images From Your Photos

Fine Art Painterly Images From Your Photos A Guest Post by Alex Morrison So, you’re thinking about unleashing your inner artist? Good for you! Old school photography can seem a bit limiting sometimes, with all those pesky rules – the rule of thirds, the rules of thumb, sunny 16 rule. Who needs rules! Your creative after all and we creatives are born to break the rules! Fine art photography is one of those photographic genres that defies rules, bends and breaks them and in the process of doing so the photographer creates art. A bad out of focus image of a flower could become your masterpiece; a mediocre...

Photographic Digital Printing [REVIEW]

Photographic Digital Printing [REVIEW] In my experience, personal printing is a declining art. Walk through any retail photo dept and you’ll see hordes of people sitting at digital print stations pumping out bundles of 6×4 inch prints from their precious memory sticks and CDs. Many of these keen printers will be women, turning happy snap family digi shots into photo records, destined for albums. The Photographic Digital Printing book will be of no use to them… after all, those auto digi printers do a fine job! However, it’s the real, rusted on photographers who want quite a bit more from their...

Submitting Your Photos to Online Forums

Submitting Your Photos to Online Forums A contribution from Lori Peterson Every day photographers use Facebook and other photo sharing websites, such as Instagram, for sharing images with their clients and potential customers. This ability to share has made it much easier to get instant feedback from the images that are posted and for photographers to see what their client base is actually looking for. Facebook has overwhelmingly provided photographers with a unique way of interacting with other photographers. Online photography forums and groups are plenty in the World Wide Web. Photographers can...

This Week In Real Estate Video #64 – 19 Federal St Newburyport MA

This week I want to point out one of my favorite classic real estate videos that Fred Light shot about a year ago.  Fred’s skill at shooting walk-through video coupled with the elegance of this grand old mansion built in 1798 (during the revolutionary war!) by William Bartlet, Newburyport’s wealthiest resident, makes this video very special. The narration, done mostly by Mr and Mrs home seller give this video a relaxed, personal feel. This video is one of my all time favorites, and since the fourth of July is next week, it seems like a fitting season to feature this video. It’s easy...

Just posted: Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS Review

For the camera with so impressive set of features you’d expect someone at Olympus would finally decide to implement a proper water-sealing system at the hatches. These gaskets are simply too sensitive and unreliable. As always, it leaves an impression of purposefully created weak spot, which will never be covered by warranty.Also, Olympus (and others) could significantly reduce the possibility of water ingress by creating one single access hatch sealed by o-ring, instead of two, sealed with their funny gummy-things.Third, it is never wise to charge the battery within the sealed...

Colour Contrast: Making the Most of Orange and Blue

Colour Contrast: Making the Most of Orange and Blue One of the principles behind using colour in photography is that of using contrasting colours. To understand the concept we need to look at a colour wheel – a type of diagram used by designers to show the relationships between colours: Diagram by Wikipedia contributor Jacobolus Contrasting colours are those that appear on opposite sides of the colour wheel. Today I’m going to look at two specific colours, orange and blue. Why these two? They happen to be very useful colours to work with because they appear a lot in nature (even though you might not be aware of...

How To Launch Anything

How To Launch Anything How To Launch Anything By Nathan Barry June 28th, 2013 Business, Community, Useful 5 Comments Launching a new product — especially your first — can be incredibly daunting. Even knowing where to turn for help can be hard. So many blog posts are full of free advice on how to successfully launch that I almost didn’t write another one. But many of the posts I read for my first product launch didn’t help me very much. The material was too fluffy, the marketing ideas were vague, or the advice didn’t apply to my tiny business.
