I order to illustrate the effects of global warming more clearly there’s an organization called “Extreme Ice Survey” collecting time lapse photography of glaciers around the world. Pretty amazing stuff to see, and scary as well.
Time-lapse videos from around the world

I plan on my next DSLR having video capabilities, being able to use my zoom and manual lenses sounds like just too much fun not to try. So I signed up for this little web-cast based on a book coming out titled “From Still to Motion: A photographer’s guide to creating video with your DSLR” By Richard Harrington, Robbie Carman, Matt Gottshalk, and James Ball. looks interesting and only an hour long, and hey, it’s free!

So say you’ve been given one of the new, not yet released iPhones from Apple, you’ve been entrusted with something people would pay tens of thousands of dollars for, something from a company who’s know for their intense secrecy, something from a company that most likely employs ninjas to enforce their secrecy…then you go to a bar, an lose it, DOH!

Terry White was nice enough to post a 45 minute video going over the new features in CS5. I like the mini bridge edition!

So I just got back from vacationing in a cave apparently because I had heard nothing about the new MacBook Pros coming out! I was a bit torn between trying to decide between an iMac with the i7 processors or a now older MacBook Pro. Now the 15 and 17 inch MBP’s come with either a Core i5 or i7 processor, guess that makes that decision easy for me… Plus, one of the coolest things I’ve read is the graphics switching per application. With the older MBP’s you’d have to choose either the on-board graphics or the actual graphics card, depending on what you thought you’d be doing. the on-board graphics obviously using much less power and therefore getting better battery life, but if say you knew you were going to be doing a lot of editing or something else more graphics intensive, the on-board graphics wouldn’t cut it, so you’d opt for the graphics card. Well now, I guess there’s built in magic that knows what the graphics needs are per application and can switch from the less powerful to the more powerful graphics processor depending on what application you’re running. So go from surfing the web to working on a 1000 RAW files in Aperture per say, the GPU would be swapped without having to re-boot, how cool is that! This will definitely be my next main computer.

Testing out a new photo app for the iPhone, Hipstamatic, so far really
liking it!!! I’ll do a more in depth review soon.
OK, so in lieu of actually having my Macbook Pro and a copy of Aperture 3 yet, I’ll continually look for tutorials and other educational materials on it. After having used Lightroom for so long I want to try and grasp the slight differences between the two so when I do start using it, it won’t be such a shock.
A few things I am really looking forward to are:
But the BIGGEST thing I am looking forward to is:
Anyway, here’s another basic primer on Aperture 3 from the guys at ScreenCast Online:
I’m always excited to find stuff like this. Michael Clark, the adventure photographer, did a talk over at Google just recently, and now it’s up on the Google Talks site. I’ll post it here below but you might want to go and watch in on HD over on You Tube.
I don’t have Aperture 3 yet, but it’s definitely something I am going to be picking up when I get my Macboook Pro. So until then I’ll have to be happy with learning as much about it as I can, so I can be more efficient when I do get it. Here’s a basic contrast tutorial using Aperture 3, from Thomas Fitzgerald on the Vimeo Aperture Channel:
