If you work in a creative industry, chances are you use software programs from Adobe’s extensive creative suite. The issue, of course, is that these applications are insanely expensive. Interested in image-manipulation through Photoshop CS6? MSRP will cost you $700 for that program alone. You can grab it off Amazon right now for $560, but [...]

Drift Innovation Introduces New Shoulder Mount with Harness
Due to an inflamed nerve and subsequent surgery following some skeet shooting with my Pop a decade ago, I can’t do anything remotely “extreme”. No skiing, skateboarding, snowboarding, or what have you. And even when I was skiing a lot, I was not the level of skill where I might want to capture my ineptitude [...]
Epson Expression Photo XP-850 Small-In-One Review
We recently reviewed Epson’s Expression Premium XP-800 Small-in-One Printer. (Read the review.) I was impressed. Judie and I came back from Aruba having taken a huge number of pictures. Many of them can be seen in this post on “Amazing Aruba“. Some of them are so good that I wanted to print and frame them [...]
Sphericam Is a Breakthrough 360º Video Camera
Back when Maggie was a wee bairn, panoramic photos that you could take yourself were something that was just really getting off the ground. We were still deep in the world of actual physical film, but you could buy cameras–including disposable cameras–that with several snaps allowed you to “automatically” create a panoramic photo. But [...]
$5 Photojojo Dollaroos for You and Your Pals
You a shutterbug? (Not that we have real shutters any more, but I digress.) Do you buy lots of gear? Halve friends who do so as well? Well, in the continuing realm of “Gear Diary tells you ways to save money and get stuff for free!”, I’d like to draw your attention to a current [...]
Lensbaby Spark Lets You Take Fun Pics on the Go
Want to use you camera to take fun pictures on the go? The Lensbaby Spark may be just what you need. The Lensbaby Spark is one of the more unusual camera accessories I have used since I began covering camera accessories. The lens runs $80 and is available for both Canon and Nikon mounts. For [...]
Kickstart This! Leash and Cuff Camera Strap
I won’t comment on what this implies about my brain, but my first thought when I saw the title of this Kickstarter project my first thought was, “Some kind of electronic dog leash?” (My next thought was, “We’re thinking of putting collars on photographers now?”) But no! These folks have acknowledged something that shutterbugs have [...]
Think Tank Photo CityWalker 20 Camera Messenger Review
I’m a fan of messenger-style gear bags. I find them to be comfortable, flexible and, well, I like the way they look. My appreciation of messenger bags extends to camera bags as well. And when a camera messenger bag can easily convert into a standard gear messenger, I’m interested. Think Tank Photos new CityWalker is [...]
Eemov Nano Stabilizer Arm Review
Smartphone cameras and camcorder abilities have improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and that means that more and more they are becoming our go-to devices to record precious memories and important events. Where you used to see someone carrying anything from a point and shoot to a full DSLR, you now [...]
Skooba Photo:Tablet Traveler V.3, Video Review
We reviewed Skooba Design’s Skooba Tablet Messenger V3 and their Skooba Design Laptop Weekender V.3 . Both are well designed and well constructed ways to carry and protect your gear on the go. Now Skooba has added yet another item to their growing V.3 line. This time out we are taking a look at the [...]
Over, the “Text on Photo” iOS App, Launches Postcard Feature
“Be sure to send me a postcard!” is a common thing to say when your friends are heading out on a trip. And it’s fun to get them, isn’t it? To know that your friend is in eastern Europe, or Pakistan, or Israel, or Paris, or Cuba, or wherever. Kind of broadens your horizons, just [...]
CEA and Eye-Fi Solicit Photos for ‘Best Shots’ Contest
I like to flatter myself that I have a good “eye” for taking photos. Like any young shutterbug, I spent a period of time thinking that I was the next Ansel Adams or Walker Evans. Of course that didn’t happen–turns out my talents are more verbal than visual–but I still like to take photos when [...]
PhotoNova+ Now Available for Free on App Store
Back in the day, if you wanted to edit photos, or perform any kind of special effects on them, you were working with actual, honest-to-go physical film and photographic paper. You would overexpose your shot, say, or your print, or smear (I’m not kidding) Vaseline on the camera lens, or sprinkle glitter on the film, [...]
Epson Expression Premium XP-800 Small-in-One Printer Review
I haven’t been all too interested in printers for the last year and a half or so. The reason for this is quite simple — I have been making a concerted effort to be as “paperless” as possible. Thanks to my iPhone, iPad and the various apps that are now available for them, there is [...]
A Week in Cuba and the Gear I Carried
I spent last week in Havana Cuba touring the city, listening to lectures, and doing some good as we visited with Havana’s Jewish community and shared the medical supplies we’d brought. While there, certain key pieces of tech came in rather handy; I thought I would run down just a few of them. First and [...]
