dpbestflow.org

I have to admit, I am seriously impressed with the Digital Photography Workflow website dpbestflow.org. An initiative of the American Society of Media Photographers and funded by the American Library of Congress, it is a fantastic resource for all digital photographers worldwide. It is mainly the work of Richard Anderson and Digital [...]

Workflow / Workslow?

Let’s face it – digital photography is a whole new world when it comes to workflow. Analogue was a simple affair in some ways. Of course, the bar was also a lot higher in some areas. You actually had to get it right “in camera” a skill that many photographers today seem [...]

flickrSLiDR

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

I have been playing with my new iPhone all weekend, and digging around on the net for useful apps and the like. During my travels I came across this very useful little slide show app, not necessarily for the iPhone, but it’s getting to the point where automated galleries [...]

CreativeLIVE

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve probably heard that Chase Jarvis has once again come up with a great idea (his last one was The Best Phone…)

CreativeLIVE is a new website that is going to offer FREE live presentations (I hate the word webinars) on all sorts of creative topics, [...]

Photography resources for photography nuts

I spend a fair bit… OK,  OK, … a lot of time on the Internet. My interests are very wide ranging from sport to the arts to politics, but photography definitely takes the lions share of my attention. Recently, I’ve had a lot of people asking me about which sites were good or which [...]

DAM goes mainstream

Digital Asset Management is going mainstream. And most people don’t even realise it. With the development of Lightroom to version 3 (currently in beta) and the recent release of Aperture 3, sophisticated stand-alone DAM tools are reaching photographers everywhere. They may not be perfect at all aspects of DAM, or suitable for [...]

Back in the saddle

I’ve been on an extended holiday since the start of December. Just about 2 months of no income. My wife hasn’t been working in that time either. We are not wealthy people (far from it), and neither are we on any government benefits. We just prioritised our family. I know a lot of people [...]

Why Scott Kelby doesn’t know a DAM thing

In a way I suppose it’s partly jealousy. After all, Scott Kelby is the author of many international bestsellers, all of which focus on the art and craft of photography. I could be so lucky. Or clever.

But I do have other, more valid reasons to think less of Scott’s latest book. And it’s this: [...]

Windows 7 launch party?

I have to admit, when I first saw the Microsoft Windows 7 party video, I thought someone had slipped some acid into my mineral water. It blows me away that the corporate machine that is Microsoft could possibly think that the video was anything other than cringeworthy. Like, could you get any more un-cool? Weird…. [...]

Twitter

I’ve finally joined Twitter.

I thought I’d be an eternal hold out, as I’ve never been a fan of Facebook, and figured Twitter was much the same. but after using it for a few days, I’m just beginning to see it’s quite different from Facebook, and has an awful amount of potential, both privately [...]
