Hi there I thought I would share this with you as cloud storage is getting alot of press these days as the way of saving, storing and share files. It is still worth making sure you can also access your data when internet/wifi access isn't available or very slow to download making the process of waiting painful.

Whether now or in the future is worth always making sure you have duplicates or backups safely stored for easy, quick access.

So whether it's files, photos, downloads, video or other data it's always worth having them located in nearby.

There are many solutions on the market to opt for, personally I'm a Drobo guy as I find it an ideal solution for the home, small office, independent freelancers, students or those that need an affordabl…

Can anyone contribute with any information about this camera? I bought my example in 2010 and it is very hard to find any information about it.

Have an old Pentax A3000 that has died. Still have nice set of lens and would like to know if they will fit on any other late model camera or a later model digital camera.

Recuerdo hace mucho tiempo atras mi primer contacto fotografico fue en un estudio fotografico.

En algunos estudios esas camaras modernas de la epoca en los estudios fotograficos famosos de mi ciudad , como no recordarlos, J.Cano, Esparsa, los hnos. Alviz, se disinguian en el centro de la ciudad , los estudios quedaban en ambientes de casonas coloniales o en edificios de arquitectura republicana o modernos , la otra cara de la moneda eran los fotografos ambulantes los que pululaban alrededor del parque Duammel , un parque de por si muy acoguedor rodeado de arquitectura colonial ,republicana y moderna, alli con camaras echas tal vez por ellos mismos, recuerdo que cubrian la camara con un manto negro, yo no sabia porque, luego sacaban y metian…

I have just posted two photos of a camera whose only indication of a brand are "F. Deckel," "Semi-Sport." The lens is a Xenar f:3.5 F=7.5cm Schneider-Kreuznach. I cannot find any information other than the post in "Camerapedia" that says that F. Deckel was a maker of machined parts - including a leaf shutter for camera makers. I have also discovered that the shutter speed of the early models was set by moving the outer ring and that, on later models, the shutter speed was set by moving a marker around the ring. The camera takes 120 film and has rather advanced features regarding the loading and advance of the film. I am posting a picture here as well in the hope that someone might recognize the camera. My son believes that the camera may…

When you think of a photograph you picture a moment suspended in time. But what if you could suspend multiple moments in time? Now you can! After seeing some moving pictures people from Photojojo wanted to replicate the effect and posted a tutorial on their site.

First it is important to grasp how the picture can move. Graphics Interchange Formats (GIFs) allow movement of photographs to be shown. It is basically a format that supports animation. After the basic concept is grasped, the basic tools need to be acquired.

Tools Necessary:

• A camera with video capabilities
• A tripod
• A vision for the scene
• Model(s)/prop(s) needed for scene
• A computer
• Access to Adobe Photoshop
• Access to a video editing program (optional)

The the tutorial shows step-by-step ho…

Click. You have just taken the perfect picture and then discover it is out of focus. The moment is gone forever... Or is it?

Yesterday, a startup camera company called Lytro, announced that they were designing a camera that would change the field of photography. Accompanying the press release were revolutionary sample snapshots.

The idea is that the camera will collect and process as much information as it can with internal software rather than conventional camera parts. Using a sensor the camera will capture the color, intensity and vector direction of the rays of light that make up the light field normal cameras cannot capture. All of this information will allow the user to adjust the focus and light levels and even create an adjustable 3-…

Most people haven't heard of World Photography Day. For photography lovers, it's just a day to come together and celebrate the awesome hobby of photography. World Photography Day has been celebrated pretty steadily for the past twenty years. The date of August 19th is chosen because that was the day the newly-invented Daguerrotype was announced to the public by the French government, in 1839. The year 1839 is unofficially the year that photography was invented.

So, for World Photography Day, throw a party and celebrate your skills! It only comes once a year!
