Camera Tips and Tricks - How To : Convert to a Model Look
July 30, 2007 by Kameraderie · 1 Comment
Ever wanted to convert a holiday snap or stunning foreign vista into a picture that looks like a model? No me neither. But in case you hanker after model railway shots or have an odd hour to fill you too can play with photoshop to create just that type of image.
Receding Hairline: the website of a London Wannabe supplied all the instructions and tips on how to go about just such a task. It seems you need Photoshop CS or newer (I haven’t tried this out myself so can’t comment). Just three steps are required - gradient mask, lens blur, and adjust curves. And thats it! Selecting the right photography is important though as Receding Hairline explains.

Siren intros 5.6-inch DF150 digital photo frame (Digital Photography News)

, Displays
As if you weren’t already inundated with digital picture frames on this beautiful Friday, here’s yet another to chew on. Manufactured by Siren (you know, part of iriver), the DF150 ups the ante on the DF100 by expanding the screen real estate from five-inches to 5.6-inches and by increasing the onboard memory from 32MB to half a gigabyte. Additionally, you’ll find an obligatory USB 2.0 port alongside memory slots to handle SD, MMC, miniSD, CF, and Memory Stick formats, and you can even change out the outer frame thanks to the wood and acyclic covers that are bundled in. Expect this sucka to land in Japan next week for 14,800 ($123).

Kodak sues Matsushita over patent infringement (Digital Photography News)
July 28, 2007 by Kameraderie · Leave a Comment
Kodak, a name pretty much synonymous with the word “camera” in the past, and “crap” more recently, sued Japanese manufacturer Masushita (primary owner of Panasonic, amongst others), alleging the company infringed upon its digital camera patents. In documents filed in Texas, Kodak claims that the company violated patents for an “electronic camera utilizing image compression and digital storage,” and “an apparatus and method for previewing motion images using a series of lower resolution still images.” According to a Kodak spokesman, the company has tried to resolved the dispute “for a number of years,” but the results haven’t been up to snuff for the photography giant. Interestingly, Kodak has all but announced that it plans to bolster its earnings by milking kickbacks from the licensing of its intellectual property during its lengthy transition from a traditional photography company to a digital one. If the past is any indication, Matsushita can just crack the wallet right now.

Camera Tips and Tricks - Hack: Disposable to Reuseable
July 27, 2007 by Kameraderie · 1 Comment
, How-to’s
I have little exposure to disposable cameras; so the brands RitzCamera, CVS and Walgreens mean absolutely nothing. Apparently though you can take these cheapy little fillies and dispose of the disposable moniker and make them reusable.
TopTenDigitalCamera supplies all the details - from which connections to make through to where to download the software to turn “a disposable 10 dollar digital camera from RitzCamera, CVS, or Walgreens into one you can use over and over, just like a normal digital camera”. I just wonder though if all the trouble is actually worthwhile. The images, such as the one to the right, seem reasonable enough though.
