Retiring this blog!

Google has retired its very pop­u­lar reader despite pub­lic cry. Of course, a whole lot of 3rd party soft­ware devel­op­ers have stepped up to fill in their shoes… Thats is not the ques­tion though. I think Google is send­ing a mes­sage that blogs as a means of infor­ma­tion cre­ation & con­sump­tion is no longer accept­able to …

Dropbox for Photographers

Every once in a while, some­thing comes along that rev­o­lu­tion­izes things. I think Drop­box fits this cat­e­gory.

As we started dis­cussing on how to go about doing this, we came up the fol­low­ing sce­nario: It was deter­mined to setup …

Lens Align Mark II

Since a few years ago, I had been using an excel­lent process to fine tune my lenses. It is a painstak­ing exer­cise, but nev­er­the­less a very very use­ful and crit­i­cal thing to do on a peri­odic basis. Recently — I felt the need for a faster way to do this.

2011: Lessons from 2010

Based on my per­sonal expe­ri­ences, here is a list of things I rec­om­mend to you as a Pho­tog­ra­pher. Think seri­ously about these in 2011 if you still haven’t already done it… So, here goes: Backup: Excuse my lan­guage but S**T hap­pens. When it does hap­pens, all hell breaks loose.
