A view of technology and some non-technical things.
This month I’ve not taken many photos, or rather many varied subjects this last month. I took a whole series of photos of Alison for her publicity shots for her soon to be printed book. Details on her website.
The other photos are of the Eglise Saint Médard in Thouars and a small art gallery building adjacent to the church.
I was reminded today that I don’t really share many of my photographs on line these days.
In the past I have been an active contributor to DeviantArt and a few other sites, but I have never really found a site I have got on well with for one reason or another.
So I have decided to do a post on here each month of a selection of my pictures from the last month with some text explaining the background to them.
Be warned though some months I do take lots of photos of either houses for LTPS or photos of Filofax organisers for Philofaxy!
I hope you enjoy this new regular feature.
So you have bought a new digital SLR and you want to get the most out of it. But to do this you have to understand all about the various settings. So how about this simulator I came across on the web.
There’s a useful explanation on the website and there are also apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad, very handy…
As well as my normal activities on Philofaxy, I’ve been taking part in the Philofaxy All Stars Tour, which is about a team of blogging doing guest posts on a variety of blogs, connected to readers of Philofaxy. The tour is going very well. Here are some of my contributions:
Choosing a camera these days is quite a difficult task, not because your choice is restricted, but because the number of models for sale is very extensive, terms of price and quality. These days even mobile phones have cameras of quite reasonable specification compared to the first digital consumer cameras of say 10-12 years ago. Over the years specifications have improved and the prices have come down.
When choosing a camera we will all have a price band in mind, what ever that price band is there will be quite a range of cameras to choose from.
