iPhone

Posted on December 18, 2011 by whyphotograph

Finally broke down & got a new iPhone 4s a month or do ago and thought I’d pass on a few comments.
Apple seems to want to takeover the small camera market with the 4s and they’ve almost got it right.(IMHO). My predominate complaint is the low light response which is not particularly good. In an attempt to rescue this, I’ve tried using TrueHDR to produce an extended range image but normally end up with low image quality & excessive grain.
I haven’t been able to find a program that gives me manual control of the camera yet.
Other than that the new sensor, especial when paired with TrueHDR, produces amazing results.
Well it’s time to get to work so more later…:)

Apparently Woody Allen wrote his latest one act play in Relatively Speaking to test his paper shredder.
We shall see what wee shall see..
It’s Woody… What could be bad?

Well… It was hysterical! Go see all three in a show called “Relatively Speaking” on Broadway… See it

The new iPhone

Posted on December 8, 2011 by whyphotograph

Well I finally got my new iPhone ( thank you Karen) and figured I’d take a few minutes to get’er running…
WRONG
Between the missing app’s & missing passwords it’s taken quite a while.
Hint:
Before u do this assemble a list of ALL your USERID’s & PW’s to all app’s, email programs & networks because it passes almost nothing of a security nature over …
Also a good time to update the PW’s you haven’t changed in a while.
After ur done, go stick it with your will or something…
Good luck!!

Blogging

Posted on July 31, 2011 by whyphotograph

It’s funny but I always come up with things to write about when I am nowhere near a “real” keyboard. I realize this is a common complaint and an excellent excuse to not be stuffing the blogisphere with my pearls of wisdom but it’s also just that…an excuse.

I’ve tried the iPhone app but I find editing by dragging around my fingertips on a small screen, frustrating at best, expletive deleted at worst.

I have the free version of Dragon Dictation that previously butchered my charming prose into strangely formed groupings of words even worse than my original thoughts. I remembered that it has had a few updates so I gave it a try by reading the previous paragraphs into it. Amazingly, it produced a perfect transcription, sans punctuation.

By emailing it to myself, I can edit it on the computer or just copy it into the limited WordPress App on the iPhone and splatter forth to the digital world.

Well……we’ll see anyway…
