Gattermann http://cinnamonthoughts.org/?p=1619 While reading thinking about how photography started, pinhole cameras came to my mind and I thought how easy it would be to make one using a DSLR and some cardboard from a shipping box.

Exhibit A:

After a few shots I started wondering why we pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for lenses, cameras or iPhones just to use Instagram and other software to create images a black box with a hole in it could have taken. (Only half kidding.)

My photos are really bad pinhole shots but the (w)hole purpose of this little experiment was to see what a simple pushpin hole in some cardboard was able to do—and it was a success.

Gattermann http://cinnamonthoughts.org/?p=1602 Dylan Bennett created a YouTube playlist where he explains basic photography concepts in a very simple manner.
The videos are even useful when you already know what an f-stop and DOF are. His explanations are easy to remember.

  • Came home and three minutes later my new iPad arrived. The new iPad. The new one. 3. #
  • Typical Apple, another feature has been removed from the new iPad: pixels. Nowhere to be seen.
    Also: no "3". I've paid for the 3! β€” β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† #
  • The newer Smart Covers have a different lining than the original ones. It feels strange. Not better/worse but'll need some getting used to. #
  • Now I see pixels everywhere on my Mac! Great… #

Gattermann http://cinnamonthoughts.org/?p=1532 Apple recently purchased C3 Technologies, a company partly owned by Saab before Apple got its hands on some nifty mapping technology.
It would be pretty cool should these 3D maps find their way to iOS devices.

  • If you are calling people who are fascinated by Apple's products and success fanboys you are not getting the impact this company has. #
  • You can sell a few overpriced products based on hype. The success Apple has is only possible through quality and reasonable prices. #
  • ο£Ώ #
  • When jumping to a different position in a video, iOS 5 fades the sound out instead of just muting it. Nice! #

The bottom line is (while the new model is a nice refresh) I still feel like my iPhone 4 is up-to-date. No need to buy a new one when I’m getting lots of improvements for free with iOS 5 next week.
