Corel AfterShot Pro 3 – Review

Mac, Photography, Review 0

Photographers who manage and edit their photos on the Mac have fewer options than they used to. Apple’s Photos app, while great for tossing general family and daily photos into, isn’t adequate for serious landscape or portrait photos. Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are expensive and are pushing people towards subscriptions. Pixelmator and similar native Mac apps hold promise but fall short of meeting the needs of pure photographers.

Smartphones make it easy to take pictures. As a result, many people end up with huge amounts of precious storage space filled with images they’ve captured over a long period of time. If your phone has 16 GB of storage, you will find yourself running out of space and looking at warning messages unless you clean house or use a device like this 64GB Olala iDisk to move images and documents off the phone for instant remote viewing.

NEC MultiSync E245WMi 24″ Widescreen Monitor – Review

Mac, Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, Monitor, Photography 0

To paraphrase an old adage: One cannot be too rich, too thin, or have too much screen real estate. This is especially true for me when working in multiple applications with many windows and tool palettes. The benefits of working with a second monitor became apparent as soon as the NEC 24″ Widescreen Monitor came to life when connected to my MacBook Pro.

Polaroid Panorama Pan Head – Review

iPhone, Photography, Review 0

This cute pan head allows you to pan 360º continuously in either direction, sweep a 75º pan left and right, or take photos in 5º increments every 10 seconds. It can be mounted on a tripod, or its three legs fold outward like the wings of a beetle so it will stand on its own. The unit is about the diameter of a billiard ball. Polaroid’s engineers and designers had fun with this. Not only does it look great, it performs well too.

I just returned from my fourth weekend trip taken during the past two months. Two journeys were by car and two were by airplane. I live in Tucson in southern Arizona. One trip each was to Nevada and northern Arizona, and two were to Marin County, north of San Francisco, California. The California flights were for family occasions, and both Nevada and northern Arizona were for sightseeing. Only the Arizona trip included other people: daughter and son-in-law. We took our small family dog with us on the sightseeing trips and also on the first California flights.

Tenba Cooper DSLR 13 Messenger-style Camera Bag – Review

When I first opened the box with the Tenba Cooper 13 DSLR inside, I knew I was in for something special. The bag itself came wrapped inside another bag! Very classy. Once I removed the Cooper and felt its fabric between my fingers, my first thought was this is going to be a great case to carry around. It’s a handsome slate grey on the outside, lined with a nylon interior. I’d consider the Cooper a messenger-style bag, and it also looks like a typical day-to-day bag.
