More tips
My tip this week was about what you need to make killer online slideshows. There’s a program for mac, or pc called ShowIt Web 2.0 and it works super. Just check out my Gavin Seim Photography site to see implementations. All the sideshows you see were made with it.

Organize and Backup
Here are the links to the automatic backup soultions we discussed this week.

(Mac)
Carbon Copy Cloner download (free, with donation suggested)
Carbon Copy Cloner Rating Source (highly rated)

Synk (this is what Gavin uses) ($25-45.00)

.mac web based storage (good for small things, but low capacity) (mac Only)

(PC)
2nd Backup 2007.1 (highly rated)

Backup-2006 Studio 5 (well rated)

Carbonote. A new online based backup with lots of space (PC Only)

Now for hard drives

Here’s my favorite external hard drive enclosure
Aluminum case, usb or firewire, for 38.00

Then you’ll need to add a 3.5″ IDE hard drive.
Heres a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda ($80.00)
Hers a 500 GB version ($159.00)

That will do it. Except my movie suggestion Facing The Giants

Have a great week all… Gavin

First of all I mentioned an automatic file backup software for the mac on last weeks show, but forgot the link. It’s called Synk, and it really makes life easier if your on a mac.Naturally we talked about Canon announcing the EOS 1D mk 2, and it’s certain;y worth checking out. If your a Nikon guy it may just make you want to switch. Here is the 1D mk 2 press release, and here is the consumer page on the Canon site. They also announced the updated Speedlite 580EX 2, and the 16-36 L f/2.8 2 lens . Nikon also announced 8 new coolpix models that should be really neat, and you can check those out at the Nikon website.

Of course Adobe Lightroom was just released, and it’s worth taking a good look at. You’ll also find lots of good links for Lightroom training and such below in the picks section.
