JUST IN.... NEW IMAGE COLLECTION ADDED TO THE "EVENTS" PORTFOLIO →

You can browse this collection of images taken at the ceremony in the "Events" section located under the "WORK" navigation menu on the top of this website.
Here are some highlights of that evening (for the full coverage click here).
I wish them all the luck and success.

On the 15th of October 2014 in the Casino do Estoril, I covered the presentation ceremony of a new web TV channel named Mundus 21.  It's main purpose is to divulge Portuguese speaking culture and artistic expression. You can visit the channel by clicking  here.

LIGHTWEIGHT, FUNCTIONAL, VERY AFFORDABLE....AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS

It's not every day that we come across a device which is simultaneously cheap ( by cheap I mean affordable), extremely functional and doesn't weigh a ton.
It's a known fact that a photographers bag normally weighs around 15 kilograms (and that's light by my standards). Not to mention the amount of cables,  adapters, card readers and so on.

Let me introduce you to Kingston's Mobilelite Wireless G2.

I know that on the market there is  wide offering  of devices that  possess similar functionalities. All major brands  sell wireless hard drives that will sync  with your iOS, Android  and even Windows Phone devices. Personally I never did much photo editing on laptops, the only use I had for them was to empty memory cards or shooting tethered while outdoors. This nifty little device does all that and  it still has a few tricks up its sleeve. Through a wireless connection you can transfer photos from your devices to  an  available SD card reader or to  a USB  storage media, be it a pen  drive  or a regular external HDD.

Having  connectivity in mind the manufacturer included an ethernet port so that while connected to the device you can still access the Internet while uploading the files from your camera.  It has  a micro USB port for charging its battery or to connect  it to the computer and use it as an SD card reader.  Also,  the internal battery  that powers it can also be used to charge a tablet  or smartphone (I charged my iPhone twice on a single charge of its battery).   All this  packed  into a   device that only weighs 171 g.  It also  can  stream media  to several devices  since it's able to read a good  variety of file formats.  Although  it can store any other formats.  

At the end of this post I  placed  at PDF with its full specs.

Last but not least, it's price;  I got it for around €40, a bargain.

LYTRO ILLUM CAMERA →

Lytro Illum Camera

Lytro Illum Camera

Light Field Sensor

Light Field Sensor

The first Lytro Camera was an interesting piece of kit, using light field technology to take photos that could be refocused after the fact. But with a maximum resolution of 1080x1080 and an unusual elongated body, it was more tech demo than usable tool. The Lytro Illum Camera looks to change all that. Built around a more traditional body, it features an 8x zoom lens, the ability to focus on objects that are literally touching the lens, an SD slot for storage, and a 40 Megaray CMOS sensor that works in concert with a Snapdragon processor to produce 4MP images that offer all the refocusing magic of the tiny pics from the original.

A WORKSHOP REALLY WORTH WATCHING...

Tim Cooper gives a very complete and understandable rundown on an HDR workflow using Adobe Lightroom and Photomatix Pro. The results are very realistic as they should be. As I always pointed out HDR is not a photographic style or genre, it is a tool designed to overcome the limitations that digital cameras have in capturing detail on the shadows and highlights on a single frame. It Is worth watching every minute. Enjoy.
