eBooks on the iPad?
A few people have asked if I had plans to make the eBooks iPad-compatible. I hadn’t considered that before (the iPad prefers the epub format over PDF), but am willing to entertain the option, depending on interest (it’s a little pricier of a proposition, so the cost would have to be justifiable). So – you tell me…do you think it’s worth getting the ISBN, converting to ePUB and distributing through the iBookstore channels as well? Sound off in the weekend poll:
What smart phone do you own/want?
Courtesy of the previous post, I’ve added a poll to the blog (which I rarely do anymore)…so you can sound off anonymously: Share with your family, friends, colleagues, whomever – I’m really interested to see where people are in this whole smart phone deal…have a great weekend!
Whats This?
Now in week 22, see if you can identify the latest picture of the day for the “What’s This?” series shown above. Lastt week’s shot as a constructio garbage chute from the inside. As promised I am including an exterior shot today so everyone can see what they look like from a “normal” perspective. In other news, don’t forget the poll on the sidebar! We’re at 30 votes and counting – let’s see if we cna break that 50 mark! I also noticed that the feed readers are now over 500, and CB also hit a new one day high … Continue reading
Sixteen days folks…
Are you ready for it? The biggest commercialization of the year is only 16 days away, and retailers desperately need your business so they can keep flying in those corporate jets. Okay, many retailers don’t do that, but news stories like that make me very unwilling to spend my hard earned money on a car this year. (Not that I could even afford it, but that’s another story altogether!) So, what can I afford? Well, believe it or not, the significant other has asked for a camera for Christmas! That’s right – I am winning her over, she’ll become a … Continue reading

In the future, send me links to your websites … Continue reading
Feathered Friday…
A happy feathered Friday to all! Permit me to explain…recently the subject of egrets became a popular tangent in a photo forum that I actively participate in, and after some fun dialog, I shared a few shots from work I had done in the past in capturing these amazing animals. They really are quite beautiful, and on a whim I went through two shoots that had a lot of egret shots and quick processed theb into an Adobe Photo Gallery. Since I don’t believe I’ve shared these shots previously, here are some shots for your fine friday! (If you click … Continue reading
What’s This? – Week 17
It’s a little late in coming (busy morning today at work), but here is the Week 17 edition of “What’s This?”: As always, those who correctly identify the image from this cropped portion win fabulous prizes, win fame and fortune, money, money, money, and lots of photo gear and software….yeah okay, that part’s not true…but you do get bragging rights! Some of you may have noticed that there is now a widget on the sidebar for my twitter account. It’s kind of fun actually and I can see how so many are addicted. I’m trying to post there more regularly, … Continue reading
It’s All About ME!
Anyone know the Toby Keith song where he sings to his woman that most of the time it’s about her, but every once and a while he wants it to be about him? Well, today that is the theme for the blog – ME. Rest assured though, there is a relation to photography though… First off, thanks to the 27 people who participated in the last poll on whether the economic downturn was shaping their photo purchases. The results were pretty even: The new poll is now up and on the side panel, so for the RSS readers, be sure … Continue reading
New Podcast is Up!
That’s right, for two successive weeks now since our move, I’ve been able to find the time to record an audio podcast. Todays show had everything to do with the absolutely horrendus performance by the Broncos last night on MNF – their season turned to the toilet rather quickly. What ever happened to the fundamentals? Oh, sorry, this is a photo blog, not a football one! Okay, here’s the latest and greatest from CB. First and foremost, CB Episode #55 went up today. I took about twenty minutes to talk about off-camera lighting. I looked at the radio transmitters availabe, … Continue reading
Be careful with Adobe updates!
I was just in the NAPP forums (a great place to learn by the way), and learned about the ACR update. Since I already am good on the gear compatibility side, I went to the readme.txt file to see if there were any other updates to the programs that I should be aware of (Podpress has made me very cautious about updating too soon…) Turns out there are some LR issues with a few tools and with XMP sidecar files versus database entries. If this is all gibberish to you, then don’t worry you are probably fine. For the more … Continue reading
Photo Galleries Galore
I’ve been playing around with the SImpleviewer Flash concept a little lately. In looking at how others are implementing it on their blogs, I was thinking that CB could use a dedicated photo gallery to share and exhibit some photos. Well, as a temporary release, I’ve put a few together using the Auto-viewer format. It has naturally been customized a little, but is up and viewable right now! Check out the images I’ve included here: CB Photo Galleries They are mostly images of colors and textures thus far with a few other test images thrown in to determine sizing. Hopefully … Continue reading
Friday Frenzy
Just a quick wrap up here for the week as the day is getting late, and I’ve got miles to go before I sleep. Um…yeah, okay, that came from a poem somewhere but I forget who wrote it or the title, so no credit line on that. As we all know by now (unless you are in a cave somewhere in the Congo), Canon has released the 5D Mark II and the specs were posted here a few days ago. Forums and the blogosphere have poked and prodded at just about everything they can until the camera itself comes to … Continue reading
Friday Follies
Another week in the record books, and the poll has changed out. Since the week pretty much consisted of discussions about noise in your photos, let’s see what people are using in the way of 3rd party plugins. So, take a moment to participate in the poll on the right. Thanks for all the participation last week – 29 people voted! Let’s see if we can crack the barrier of 30 this week! Today I thought it might be fun to share a few links to fun Photoshop resources – reasons to laugh and just take a break from it … Continue reading
