  • I’m getting a Sony APS-C mirrorless camera – what should my first lens be?

    Canon 35mm 1.4L lens

    I convinced a friend of mine to jump on getting a Sony A6000 as this is, in the opinion of more than a few pro photographers, currently the single best value camera on the market.  His next question, naturally, was “what lens do I get for this camera?”

  • Consulting – The Business Side of Software Development

    Jeremy Olson (@jerols) speaking on the business side of iOS at RWDevCon

    Back in January of this year I finally signed up for Brennan Dunn’s DYFC Masterclass.  I say finally because I had it in my mind to do so, for several years now, ever since my colleague Joel Hooks gave an overwhelming testimonial for it.  When I signed up, I got DYFR for free, along with a ton […]

  • when can I haz photos?!?

    raspberry picking

    If I could get a copy or what you shot – one way or another (flickr, Dropbox, etc.) that would be great.  Sometimes I find that even ‘not so great’ shots / blurry etc. can be cropped or adjusted to make for a cool photo.   Hi <redacted>, just a quick note –

  • post process – from camera to iPhone to Mac

    One of the awesome features of the Sony A7R II is WiFi - I can connect my iPhone to the camera and download images right away. So I actually have two different Post workflows. I download some photos right after taking them onto my iPhone and process them in Photoshop Express for iOS. It's actually an amazingly powerful app. Lightroom for iOS has great features but is still way too laggy to be part of my normal workflow. The vast majority I download later on my old Mac Pro and process in Lightroom. I have two older Apple Cinema displays and a Cintiq 24HD, I color calibrate all of them with a Spyder from DataColor.

  • What I’m listening to, now

    slow speed bump

    When I was driving back and forth every week from Maryland to Atlanta I would listen to a slew of podcasts and audio books.  Most of the podcasts were related to iOS, a platform I’m quite passionate about.

    one of most hilarious things I ever read..post in MAD magazine years ago as a kid.  In the astrology section (or whatever they call that part of the newspaper where they predict your future based on when you were born),

  • Podcasts I’m currently listening to

    Jay Thrash (@jaythrash) is interviewed on the NSBrief podcast by Saul Mora (@casademora) during 360iDev

    I previously posted a couple of times what podcasts I was listening to.  Back then, I was driving up and down the East coast every weekend between Maryland and Atlanta, so I had a lot of time to listen.  Now, my commute time is much less, thankfully.  That also means I spend less time listening […]

    Apple TV - material design

    I got my AppleTV a couple days ago, but had zero time to do anything with it.  Last night I finally just unboxed it b/c I couldn’t wait anymore, but I still haven’t even plugged it in. My HD TV set only has three HDMI ports, so I dug around in our TV cabinet last […]
