(Note: This post originally appeared on my new mostly-non-photography blog [robotsprocket]) If you’ve read the title of this post and are wondering “what is this EXIF thing?”, then here’s a bit of information. EXIF is an acronym for EXchangeable Image File Format. And, no, I don’t know why it’s not “EXIFF”. Basically, it’s metadata tagged onto a digital image that contains information about that image. This, along with another group of metadata, IPTC, is used by digital photographers to keep track of information about such things as camera/lens settings, geographic information and copyright...
*Or how a neural network changed everyday people into Eldritch Abominations.
In my last post, wherein I outlined how I added a link to each photo’s location on Google Maps, I mentioned that I thought I’d done a writeup on how I geo-tag photos, but couldn’t find it. After extensive searching of the archives, I can confirm that I don’t seem to actually have ever written about my process. Today, I’ll rectify that oversight. Let’s take a look at the tools I use, then I’ll walk you through how it all comes together. First, we need a way to record a GPS log. Typically,...
The roundabout way I got every photo published on 75CentralPhotography.Com to display on my Chromecast-enabled devices
As you may or may not know, in addition to taking fine photos, I enjoy designing and building software. For the last several years, I’ve been working in the cloud, mainly on the Force.Com platform, but before that, I was a Windows developer. Occasionally, I like to build a little software project on my own just to make sure I can still develop desktop applications or to build little tools to make my life easier. I did this much more often when I was a strictly-Windows guy, but since moving to an iMac...
So, after a long time, wherein I, along with most of the rest of the world (or at least those who care about these things), assumed that Snapseed was dead, Google surprised us with an updated version of Snapseed. If you’re not familiar with Snapseed, then here’s a quick rundown… In the summer of 2011, Nik Software, the creators of a few of my favorite Lightroom and Photoshop plugins (Silver Efex, Color Efex and Analog Efex), released Snapseed for the iPad, followed shortly by a version for the iPhone. Apple named it the...
If you’re like me, you have a dog that occasionally likes to eat things. In this case, Winston at my EOS Utility install disc before I got a chance to install it on my iMac. This wasn’t initially a problem for me, as I use Lightroom and don’t shoot tethered. But then I discovered the CineStyle Picture Style by Techicolor and wanted to experiment with it while shooting video. Unfortunately, to load picture styles onto a Canon camera, you need the EOS Utility (this hasn’t been an issue before, since I shoot RAW when...
“Raw” has many meanings…
This Time write-up on the Condition ONE photojounalism ecosystem is extremely interesting. Basically, it’s an iPad app combined with a custom ultra-wide-angle camera that allows a journalist to film action then pan around it for story-telling purposes. Of course, that probably doesn’t make a lot of sense, so just follow the link and there’s a nifty video that shows the system being used. Condition ONE App: A New Way to Photograph War? – LightBox.
