Christmas gift ideas for the photographer - Part 2

PPC News Staff | 11/26- 09:17 PM

Memory, more memory, and faster memory

Today I’m going to recommend a great gift that every photographer who shoots with a digital camera always needs more of, memory cards - but first a word of caution for you who don’t know about camera gear - be sure that whatever memory card you buy it will work with that particular brand and model number camera that your photographer owns.  Digital cameras accept only certain sizes of memory cards and there are several formats/types of memory cards on the market.

Sonnet Echo Expresscard Thunderbolt Adapter Review

Dan Carr | 05/19- 10:20 PM

Testing the only current Thunderbolt CF card reader option

I’m sure by now that you are aware of the Thunderbolt standard and how it has a theoretical throughput that is much faster than Firewire 800, USB 2 or 3 and eSATA.  Like many people I excitedly bought one of the newer Macbooks last year when they first featured Thunderbolt ports but sadly Thunderbolt accessories have been relatively thin on the ground.  Some blame high licensing fees imposed by Apple and Intel whilst some blame technical difficulties and incompatibilities with the implementation of the technology.  I’ve had my Macbook Air for nearly a year now and until the Sonnet Echo arrived on my doorstep I hadn’t plugged a single Thunderbolt product into it.

Photography: What’s real, what’s not and does it matter?

Matt Brandon | 05/08- 07:38 PM

Is there such a thing as integrity in a photograph?

I got some flack on Facebook about a past post on my blog . I received a comment from a reader or two stating they felt that what they saw in the produced images was not real. Meaning, after running through my workflow in Lightroom the images no longer represented reality. I have gotten this kind of feedback many times in the past. I think people are rather shocked at seeing a photo “undressed”. It’s a bit like seeing a high-fashion model on the streets without any makeup, it can be scary.
