As a huge Star Trek fan, I went to see the new movie. Although many of you may not be into Star Trek, this new movie will definitely appeal to those who never got into it and thought it was for the geeks (which it really isn't at all).
After seeing the movie, I got to see what the new Pentax digital pro SLR camera will look like. It's a camera of the 23rd century and really helps Spock on his trek through the stars. (Click to see enlargement of funny settings "pee break now")
Well ok so maybe this camera isn't quite ready for us simple 21st century beings but there is some truth in the stars (just incase you couldn't figure it out, this is suppose to be a funny mock-up of a pro camera). There is indeed a new Pentax Digital Pro SLR camera on the way to be announced on May 20. Its supposed name is the K-7 and though it may not be a camera from the future, it will definitely be a camera for the future.
Living in Montreal for such a long time, I've come to notice that as artistic a city we are, there hasn't really been any photo related large-scale gatherings in the city. But this weekend, that all changes with the first photo & video show call D-Clic.If you've ever wanted to see what's new and upcoming in digital photography, learn about photography and video techniques or to see how you can up-your-gear, this show will have it all under one roof.Over the course of three days, representatives from such brands as Pentax, Nikon and Canon will be ready to answer questions and discuss with the new products that will be presented for the very first time at this exclusive event.On site conference rooms will allow you to improve your photo and video skills. You will be able to attend a wide variety of free workshops, all hosted by speakers chosen for their vast knowledge and experience. (However all the workshops sadly will only be presented in french).This event is being presented by L.L. Lozeau and is being held at the Palais Des Congres May 8-9-10. The cost is $12 for the whole three days.
This summer, you'll undoubtedly be taking many hundreds of pictures. Once you have them on your computer, they may become hard to look for or sort through. With Picasa 3 by Google, sorting through those pictures will be a lot easier.
I've always been a huge fan of the simplicity and usefulness that Google products provide, and with Picasa that way of thinking certainly rains through.
Picasa is at first a program to help organize and find all those wonderful captured moments. But it doesn't stop there. You can use the program to make quick edits to your pictures such as brightening a picture or doing some crop editing. But for advanced users, it does offer features like soft filtering or leaving a single colour in the image. You can also make slidesshows that can be burned to a DVD for direct viewing.
What is great for you is also great for others. The program also allows you to take the pictures you have and immediately upload them to your *Web Picasa Album for others to view.
I always try to look for easier and more efficient ways to sort and edit my pictures and Picasa 3 really does make it simple and fun.
As general McArthur said in the Philippines during WWII when he had to leave, "I shall return". And as he did, I too have returned.
The last month has been busy with studying and exams but now I'm free to continue in my passion and to share that with you.
In the next few months, you'll see several blogs covering tips, skills, profiles of photgraphers and more.
In the meantime, if you have any ideas or suggestions on what you'd like to see covered, send me an e-mail to ajphoto.mtl@gmail.com
Happy Photography!
