News: A camera you control with your eye!

Imagine, if you will, that you're holding a lens up to your eye and looking through it. Try this with any normal lens and the image that you see will not only be hard to make out, but probably upside down. 


However, a new concept camera may allow users to look into the lens and not only see the image right side up a clearly, but control focus, zoom, and snapping photos by looking, narrowing/widening the eyes, and blinking.

News: Hallucinating Robots?????

We as humans are already afraid of the robots but what if we make them trip their faces off and hallucinate imaginary people everywhere? It seems like this might shorten the time it takes them to turn on us and kill us all, but researchers at Cornell University's Robot Learning Lab think it will make them better at their jobs. Whatever job that may be.

News: Practical HDR

HDR photography as really taken off since the wide spread availability of affordable and professional quality DSLRs. It's no surprise then when Apple introduces built-in HDR abilities to their 8-megapixel camera. How can YOU create beautiful and unique HDR photos that stand out from the crowed? Ya know...photos that transcend the built in HDR. 


David Nightingale’s useful introductory volume provides an informative overview of the techniques and tools of High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. HDR refers to pictures capturing a wide range of lights to darks, more than is typically possible with 8 bit camera-processed JPEGs. Read more here!

Product Reviews: Canon T4i

It seems like yesterday when Canon released the T3i, now here comes the T4i? Well, some results are in.

http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Canon-Rebel-T4i-First-Impressions-Review.htm

If you're interested in getting your photography career started by don't have the thousands to spend on a Canon 5D or 7D then allow me to recommend the Canon T3i, an upgrade from the T2i. (if you don't want to wait for the T4i)

The amazing thing about the T3i compared to the T2i is the flip out LCD screen which allows you to place the camera nearly anywhere to get that shot you want. These cameras also work with EF and L series lenses so you can always upgrade your kit.

When I started out as a photographer, I bought myself the T2i because it fell right into my budget plan. Forget thousands of dollars, I walked out of the store under 1000 with a new camera, ready to shoot. AND shoot VIDEO! 1080p HD video that looks absolutely stunning through Canons signature lenses.

All in all, if you don't want to wait for the T4i, go get the T3i.

News: Tech Rumors for iPhone 5

Wow, it really doesn't feel like too long ago when the "leaked" photos for the iPhone 4 gave a glimpse to what our friends at Apple were cooking up. But iPhone 5? I've got a lovely article here about the iPhone 5 and some of the "rumors" surrounding its new "Mini Dock" port.

Does this mean we wont be able to switch chargers from iPhone to iPad and iPhone 3g? And iPhone 4?? Probably...
