The Adobe keynotes

Ok, so I watched the Adobe keynotes and was blown away!

The (near) future seems to be the connection of all your devices, be it mobile or fixed, i.e. phone, tablet or desktop.

You start to work on a project lets say somewhere outdoors on a shooting on your tablet, continue on your way home on the train and once at home you just fire up your desktop computer to carry on without swapping SD cards, pushing files or such (well there is still the sync time to get the files from your tablet to the CC (Creative Cloud) and back to your computer, so prepare a cup of coffee before starting to work on your computer).

With the mobile apps you can grab (take a picture) brushes on the go, sketch, postwork photos ...

Your digital creativness is no longer confined to your working place or home!

There is only one big problem for the moment:

All the mobile apps are IOS only!

And what about us, the Android users?

Come on Adobe, not all creatives use Apple, we want to play too!

On my wishlist!

And to end the day:

This looks like my next camera:

Sorry for the drooling, but the specs are just what I would love to see on my "dream cam"!

Still in the Landes, southwest France, the Courant d'Huchet

Shooting the cameras

I had some time before me and decided to do some "product shots".
And what products should I shoot, well, why not some of the cameras in my collection?

So here is the set-up:

Two daylight lamps with diffusors, One to the right almost above the "product", pointing down from slightly behind, the other to the left front side, just a tad higher than the table. The "shooting camera" on a tripod, and now my favorite part!, connected to the camera via an USB-OTG cable my tablet running DSLR Controller.

This app allows me to see through the lens like Live View, but on another screen, adjusting ISO, choosing focus points, adjusting aperture and time .... In short, an external command center and far more comfortable to use for such shootings than the viewfinder or the camera screen.

And now some of the resulting pictures:

And another ebook

And since I am still playing around with epubs, here is another e(photo)book:
