Eye-Fi

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

For my recent Florida to Massachusetts trip, I purchased an Eye-Fi SD card and downloaded the Eye-Fi App so that I could automatically transfer photos from camera to iPad, cable free. Sadly, I can’t recommend it! The Eye-Fi specifically lists my Sony A55 as compatible, and the Sony display has an indicator for Eye-Fi communications; [...]

Take a photo with your iPad

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Well, sort of … There’s a few Apps available that allow use of your iPhone to take a photo and then transfer it to the iPad: CAMERA-A, Wireless Camera, Coolibah CoolCam, etc. While CAMERA-A seems top-rated, CoolCam is free so that’s a big incentive to try it out! This type of App can be complicated; [...]

Back to Photopad

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I’m sure I’ll be purchasing Photogene some time, but I decided to try the iPhone program Crop for Free; [...]

PhotoPad, free but limited

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Tonight I saw mention of PhotoPad by ZAGG; it’s “free and will always be free” so I thought I’d try it. I’ve also been a Photogene user on my iPhone, and might buy that for the iPad eventually (once I have the camera connector) – but trying a free program is low risk so why [...]

The Guardian Eyewitness

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

The iTunes store classifies this under “photography”, but it’s a fine line whether it belongs there or in “news”; either way, it’s a very nice App that offers beautiful photographs from around the world: The App opens with a full screen photo; at the bottom left is a caption which can be removed (tap the [...]
