Long over due post/gallery update

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Been busy and it looks like that trend is going to carry on for the foreseeable future. I have updated all of my galleries with the exception of Oceans adding 16 new images, primarily to Abstractions 2. I have a review halfway written for RadioPopper’s JrX STUDIO flash triggers which I will try to have up soon.

Some new hardware and software “toys” and site updats…

Steve Chapman’s (panocamera.com) Nintendo DS Camera Controller which I purchased awhile ago has been open sourced as Open Camera Control.

Palm has released the beta version of the native Plug-in Developer Kit (PDK) for the Palm Pre, though unfortunately they don’t have support for Linux yet.

I finally got around to completing the assembly of the Camera Axe I got for Christmas.

Seems like I’m constantly tinkering with site updates I added 29 new images to my galleries and Fotomoto released their API last month which I integrated with SimpleViewer.

I recently rented a lens from Borrowlenses.com and over all it was a good experience, but there were a few issues. They have strict address requirements, which in some ways are understandable based on the value of the gear. This does however limit shipping to basically your business or home via FedEx with a signature requirement, no hotels and no P.O. Boxes. The other issue was that the lens was sent to me very dirty, good thing Photoshop can fix it, but still would be nice if had been cleaned before it was sent.
