With great pleasure, I introduce Canopy – a brand of innovative accessories for today’s mobile technologies.  Canopy’s products span from stylish protective iPhone cases, to software integrated Kapok and Jumba cases alongside a unique iPhone app. – the Canopy Camera Tools app, which takes advantage of the Kapok case’s point and shout functionality, and include such features as time-lapse, focus and exposure control, social media sharing, and a bubble level that allows people to capture life like never before on an iPhone.

To view all of these and more, and for more information about all of the company’s products, including the Abuta and Plano cases, visit www.canopyco.com and www.facebook.com/canopy. Gosh it is good to be back!

Canopy’s Kapok Case

The only I-Phone app to date that has impressed me is called White Noise. It generates just that and is helpful in settling down my eight week old son.

A new app has just been released from OnOne Software though that makes White Noise look like child’s play. DLSR Camera Remote is the new age cable release allowing Canon EOS users (Nikon users out of luck for now) to remotely fire a camera from an I-Phone or I-pod touch. Additionally the cameras shutter speed, aperture, white balance settings and file size can be adjusted remotely.

Pushing this app over the top is image review and live view. The former lets you see the image you just photographed to confirm that you’ve got the shot. The later produces a virtual viewfinder on the I-Phone or I-Pod Touch; producing a preview (in near real-time) of what the camera sees. That is just sick.

More information is available at OnOne Software. Cali Lewis also provides a cool introduction to the app on Geek Brief TV . DSLR Camera Remote is now available on I-Tunes for the introductory price of $9.99.

Created for Tribal DDB, Amsterdam, Stink Digital and Director Adam Berg deliver this interactive campaign for Philips’ new CINEMA 21:9 TV. The cinematic proportions of the display became the theme of this piece. Adam responded with an idea for an epic ‘frozen moment’ cops and robbers shootout sequence.

This 2:19 film runs as an endless loop, allowing viewers to control their moves through the scene. The film also contains embedded hotspots, which, when triggered, give us a behind-the-scenes look at some of the shots.

Always very exciting to review the photographic work of PDN’s New & Emerging Photographers. Check out PDN’s 30 today.

1) “Black dot” phenomenon (the right side of point light sources becomes black)
When shooting night scenes, the right side of point light sources (such as lights from building windows) may become black. The phenomenon may become visible if the images are enlarged to 100% or above on a monitor or, if large prints of the images are made.

2) Vertical banding noise
If the recording format is set to sRAW1, vertical banding noise may become visible depending on the camera settings, subject, and background.

My WordPress blog did not take kindly to embedding the SmugMug hosted video so I’ll have to send you off to LaForet’s blog to see his latest creative undertaking.
