iOS App Review: SigNote Adds Interest and Personalization to Your Pics
It has been a while since an iOS photo app caught my attention but SigNote did just that! It is a relatively simple app that lets you add personalization to your photos in just a few simple steps. It takes seconds to learn and can be tons of fun. Let’s take a quick look via [...]
Gear Diary Roundup: Week Ending July 31
Well, July is over. The heat keeps coming, kids are getting read to go back to school and there’s no shortage of gear news and reviews. Here are a few posts you may have missed but are worth a look… Gear Diary’s Back to School Gift Guide and an ARCHOS 70 Android Internet Tablet for [...]
iOS App Review: Paper Camera
I’m the farthest thing from a professional or even amateur photographer, but I have a developing (analog pun intended!) obsession with apps that augment my phone’s camera. My latest find is Paper Camera, which I happily purchased for my iPhone and iPad. At the time of this writing, it’s on sale for $.99, which is [...]
Mac Quick Tip: Use Faces to Find People and Organize Out of Control iPhoto Libraries
Sometimes it is the little features in a program that can make the biggest differences. iPhoto’s facial recognition is one example of this. I knew the feature was there in the ’11 version of the software but never used it. Last week Elana’s grandma Pearl died. It was and is sad, but at 87 she [...]
Shine a Light on It with iShuttr
Okay, we all know and recognize that the cameras built into our phones are not the best around. Could we do better with a dedicated point-and-shoot? Sure. How about a full-blown SLR? Yeah, of course, stupid question. But the reality is that we use the cameras that are included with our phones because they are [...]
USBFever Wide Angle + (Macro) + Fish Eye + 2X + 8X + 12X Telephoto Lens Combo for iPhone 4G
The world of photography with the iPhone, or iPhoneography, is a growing phenomenon and photography related apps are emerging faster than most can keep up. Most of these apps do little for enhancing the initial photography experience in that none allow for optical manipulation of the scene, merely digital. Enter USBFever.com and their Wide Angle [...]
Photography Gear Review: USBfever HDMI Adapters and Retractable Audio 3.5mm Jack AUX Auxiliary Cable
My pile of field production equipment is ever-growing. I am a “one-man-band” of sorts so I am constantly looking for gear and “doo-dads” to make production work easier. Recently I picked up a great set of headphones (which I will feature in a separate post), and I learned the Swann RC helicopter won’t lift my [...]
Camtrol Expands Camera Control
For more than a quarter-century I have been serious about photography and videography. And for more than a quarter-century I have discovered that one cannot have too many gadgets/accessories when being serious about photography/videography. A press release arrived at the GearDiary.com inbox that caught my eye recently. It is touting a new customizable free-shooting stabilizing [...]
iPad Accessory Review: miFrame Photo Frame Dock for iPad
Although I use my iPad 2 most of the time I kept a 16GB WiFi iPad 1 around for review purposes (as well as the convenience of keeping an iPad in the den full time). I’m glad I did keep the original iPad because I am still coming across some awesome accessories designed specifically for [...]
Android App Review: Retro Camera Review
I recently noticed an influx of funky old-timey photos on Facebook. After asking around, it appears that most people I know are using Retro Camera. According to Urbian (the developer), the app lets you take “delicious old-school pics your friends will drool over” and it delivers an “off-the-hip analog look.” Now, in general I consider [...]
iPhoneography update: Going HDSLR (almost)
During my recent shift in gear and equipment from days gone by to the modern era I began to collect all the little hardware that was either loose or just kind of hanging around with other stuff. In a moment of inspiration this week I dumped a pile of it out and began assembling a [...]
New USBFever.com Gear Lets You Shoot, Point and Sing
USBFever.com sent along some new product release information for this week that included a lens kit for the iPhone 4 and a USB Karaoke Sound Kit. I admit to being a big iPhone4tography geek but a co-worker is a huge karaoke buff. Together we will test these items in the coming weeks. Here are links [...]
New Gear Daily Deal: Nikon D3100 14.2MP SLR Camera Kit with AF-S DX 55-200mm VR Zoom-Nikkor Len
New Gear Daily Deal: Nikon D3100 14.2MP SLR Camera Kit with AF-S DX 55-200mm VR Zoom-Nikkor Len I LOVE my Canon G11, but lately I’ve been starting to check out DSLRs. And when I come across a good deal on one I do a double-take. No, I haven’t bit yet, but this deal caught my [...]
iPhone Lens Review: 12x Zoom, Macro, Fish Eye Lenses From USB Fever
I am a firm believer in the idea that the best camera is the one you have in hand. With that said, I love my DSLR but often find myself taking more images with my iPhone 4. I have always been intrigued, with companies who offer add-on lenses for the phone. USB Fever recently gave [...]
