I’ve talked about some of the pros & cons of the Eye-Fi card before, but on location these days, it’s something I find difficult to live without. It’s a luxury, not a necessity, but it does allow me to speed up productivity and waste less time on a location shoot wondering whether the image I…
So, I’m now officially a Trucker. A CubieTrucker, that is. It arrived yesterday, sadly about half an hour before I had to go out, so I pretty much just had chance to put the case together (almost), and didn’t really get to play with it properly at all. But, it’s beautiful, look at it!
This is a bit of a mini follow up to my recent post on AirPlay (I’ll be doing a longer one once I’ve got everything running the way I hope it will – Edit: never mind, scroll down to the bottom). After discovering Reflector and having a good play with it, I started to wonder…
There was one location at which I shot at quite a lot during 2013 (at least 20 times over the amazing few weeks of summer we had last year). It’s fairly close to Lancaster (about 10 miles out), and it looks absolutely gorgeous, but only up until about noon. During the morning, shooting upriver, the sun…
During any given photo shoot, I usually have a few pieces of equipment with me that have WiFi capabilities, and it’s nice when I can get them all talking to each other and serving a useful purpose. There’s the Nikon WT-3 grip for the D200 (which is a fantastic setup for shooting events where on-site…
When I first heard of AirPlay, I figured “Apple only”, being the proprietary types that they are. I’d always seen it bandied about with words like “Apple TV“, “iMac” and “Macbook Pro“. As the only Apple devices I own are iPhones and iPads, I never really looked much further into it. A few days ago,…
TTSOL is going to become a section on the site that I will populate over the coming weeks, months and years. It stands for “Taking The Studio On Location”, and it’s really just an attempt to make life easier for myself. Working in a studio environment is great. It really is. It’s warm, it’s dry,…
I’ve been using DropBox for probably about 3 years now, and it’s rather good. Overall, I’ve been quite impressed. It’s reliable, fairly quick (bandwidth permitting), and fantastic for delivering work to clients and models. Delivery of final work to clients and models I’ve shot with has been pretty much my sole reason for using DropBox, and…
GPS is something I’ve wanted to play with for a long time, but the cost of GPS modules has always put them way out of reach for just for the sake of having a new toy to play with. At the moment, however, the good folks over at Cool Components are running a January clearance…
Thus far, I’ve only used this blog to post about Linux stuff, but I also created it to write about photography related things as well. First of those photography related things is the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport (CCP), as I’ve had a number of people asking me about this recently. So, what is it? Why use…
