Well, with all the hype of the iPhone and the unconfirmed estimates of 500,000 – 700,000 iPhones sold in the first week alone, photographers who now own the iPhone may want to know how to get their images from Lightroom to their iPhone without worry. And for you Mac users out there you can download an Automator script to make this process even more workflow friendly. James Duncan Davidson of Inside Lightroom from O’Reilly posted this great tip. Check it out here.

Until next time,

With so many application in the Adobe Creative Suite, and since we wanted to cover all of them I’ve put together a special episode entirely on CS3. If you don’t like the shows that get down to details on software than you may want to skip this one. If however your eager mind wants to know more about Creative Suite Design, and Web editions then this is the place to be. You’ll also find that the Photoshop review (which is the first one) is the most in depth, so if your just a PS user you can simply listen to that part. Also post you comments about your thoughts on the new Creative Suite Products, and let Adobe hear what you have to say.

Knowing that it can be a hassle to muddle through all the new choices in the Creative suite I’ve outlined the primary programs that each includes. All suites include the new Adobe Bridge. Programs in todays review are all from either the Web, or Design editions of CS3, and include Photoshop, Photoshop Extended, In Design, Illustrator, Acrobat Professional, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Fireworks, and Contribute. All the applications can also

Did anyone else notice this article in The New York Times today?

Here’s the slug: “City May Seek Permit and Insurance for Many Kinds of Public Photography”

Granted, this permit idea is just that – an idea. Additionally, it doesn’t seem to affect the individual photographer, but it would affect those of you who go on photo excursions.

There are many issues here regarding our rights as photographers and we should all pay very close attention to this story.

Pentax k100D Super

Pentax has announced an update for their entry-level DSLR. Not exactly a new model, but rather the K100D updated to SUPER! This updated model has a senor cleaning technology, and full compatibility with Pantax’s higher end lens offerings. And like the previous model it has built in anti shake, and that’s cool in any language.

The K100D Super still is only running at 6.1 mpx, but then again I took many a great wedding photo’s with a 6.1 in the not so distant past. It sports a 2.4″ lcd screen, and iso settings up to 3200. As to how it handles noise at that level…. we’ll have to leave that to the comments from future owners.

It’s not the Tajma Hall of cameras, but coming out in Aug for around 5 bills (hundred that is) is may be worth taking a look at for those in the market for an entry level SLR.
