Something for the photographers: Silverlight Deep-zoom formerly "Sea-Dragon"

With all the other stuff I've been doing lately I'm champing at the bit to get out and take some more photos. Still here I am slaving over a hot laptop. Search suggests haven't mentioned Sea-Dragon before - but I've talked about Photosynth , which is

SD cards (again)

I was about to say some things about Vista and TV when I realized I had actually said them a few months ago When your TV programmes are FILES there's a different psychological relationship to them compared with TAPE . VHS cassettes were something you

Testing Pictures

[UPDATE] I've been refining my EXIF Library for .NET, and the blogging utilities I wrote in Powershell. Now I have Upload-BlogFile (on community server which hosts this blog it will only upload pictures) and NEW-blog post . Getting pictures which match

On film ...

Skimming down my feeds this weekend I found a post from Scoble on obsolete skills (a new wiki has grown up). One was "developing film". Unless you've done it it's hard to describe the rituals of processing and printing black and white film.

The Wow of powershell (again)

I've recently bought Efficasoft's GPS utilities for my phone - I keep thinking about GeoTagging photos. I was toying with writing a GPS logger of my own, but for $17.95 Efficasoft gave me that and a bunch of other things which range from the useful to

Shooting fish.

A while ago I wrote about getting a new camera to take diving. Rather spookily one of the mails in my inbox when I got back from my dive trip last night was asking about underwater cameras , so here's what I replied about the new Canon One of the observations

From the "I want one of those" file.

I was sure Scoble mentioned Eye fi ages ago .... He did. How's this for Cool. A 2GB SD card with integrated WiFi. Set it up and it sends pictures to Web services or your PC, and if it can't find where it is supposed to send them there is a 2GB buffer

Phase one: Capture one V4 has a new beta.

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Phase one and Microsoft had entered an alliance I got a mail to tell me about Capture one 4 beta 2 . The web site has one of the most annoying bits of flash I've seen a while. There's a control to turn the cheesy

Phase one strategic alliance

I've been using Phase One's "Capture one" software for the last 3 years and I like it better than anything else I've tried for processing RAW images. So I was interested when one of the photography forums linked to this press release . "Microsoft and

So long Compact flash: a new camera

It's amazing to see a technology to go from "new"to "Obsolete" in half a dozen years. I remember buying an IBM Microdrive in 2001 - a power hungry and rather unreliable device it was, the jacket for my iPAQ would take CF type II cards. A year later my

Photosynth. Rocket Science ?

I've mentioned Photosynth a few times before. I came back from lunch today to see some new collections which we have done with NASA are now live. It's great stuff. Go take a look. Technorati tags: Photosynth , Microsoft Research , Photography

A VB class for EXIF picture properties - and using it from Powershell.

I have been carrying on with my project to make EXIF data available in PowerShell. When I searched for Powershell and EXIF it turned up this Blog post of Scott Hanselman's. He talks about a "nice little photo library" that extracts and interprets EXIF

Exploring Photographic EXIF data (using PowerShell, of course)

My PowerShell project for the last few days has been to get into the EXIF data which is embedded in Pictures. It turns out to be a bit easier than I imagined. The first thing I found is that the . NET framework has a "BITMAP" object-class which gives

Vista's desktop index and PowerShell.

Vista's desktop index has changed the way I work. I've stopped worrying about folders, any more than I worry about URLs for Internet content. It's either obvious or I find it with search. So... since I have all of my stuff indexed. I should be able to

Digital Image Suite. RIP.

I've mentioned Digital image suite before. I always felt I needed to apologise for not using Adobe Photo shop. As several people commented, Photoshop was overkill. Digital image suite let me Straighten Pictures which had been taken at an angle Clone or
