LunaMare Designs - PhotoMate Studio Pro
W/HUD and Inworld Controllers
Includes Studio, Image Control and HUD, Light Control and HUD, Instructions
@ eBENTO April 11 - May 5
Shot taken at Focus Fair demostration of the LunaMare photo studio, lighting and posemate. So easy to use that I managed it having never used or seen a Photo system studio before.
Still on the road but closer to the 'right' hills, those with 3m snow cover (yes, that's how much fell at Paso Tonnale before Xmas and subsequent warmings haven't reduced it by much).

Here he is again
Looking at the colours
They were changing all the time
Enjoying the moment
What a precious moment for us both
Being together
Soulmates
Like we always were meant to be
Photomates too
I never saw this coming
And I have a crystal ball you know

In-camera sweep panorama from the same PoV as the previous shot. Rendered on the phone with PhotoMate R2. I'm starting to like this app more and more: offers rather fine quality on large files (even RAW) and very Lightroom-like functionality and UI. Recommended for all Android-using photographers travelling without computers, whatever their main camera.

Well, almost (astronomically). But it was a sunny day and some plants were sowing off. Can anyone give a name to this one?
Update: this is Gorse, latin name Ulex Europaeus, thanks to Kasia Ociepa.
Happy Birthday , Friedy !!!

First glimpse from the hotel room.
Beamed from camera to phone and touched with PhotoMate R2 (which works pretty much like Lightroom).
Den Haag - De Hofvijver en het Binnenhof - Nederland
HFF ;-)
Last week my photomate Frank and I had a nice day in Den Haag . It's such a beautiful city and as it was the week before the elections there was so much to do . We also met a sympathetic flickrfriend Roel .
Den Haag has so many beautiful old and new buildings and some of them have such funny names s.a. 'de vulpen' , 'de keukenrol' , 'het strijkijzer' , de twee tieten , het IJspaleis ....
At the end of the day there was also a football match between politicians and famous Dutchmen . But don't ask me who won the match ... I was much more interested in taking pictures than in football ... ;-)
Thank you so much for the beautiful day , mate . I did enjoy ...... ;-))

My friend, it's so nice to hang out with you, 2 girls and many cameras, heehee :)
The plastic curtain meant to hide construction works provided a perfect 'bokeh' defocus so much sought after in portraits and achieved through expensive optics or clever software effects. This made me point my phone and snap the shot, unfortunately the 'effect' only goes half-way down the frame, then you see unnecessarily sharp background detail :(
Another 'must visit' place but this time we were speeding towards the ski slopes, some 2 hours away (seen in the distance).
Shot with A6000 then processed on the phone (which probably explains missing EXIF)
Update: my poor Italian geography and the proximity of the other one made me think this is Lake Garda - now corrected. Now BOTH lakes are on my Paces To Revisit list :)
On our photowalk in my hometown , Frank and I met this handsome young guy . He was a photographer too and worked also as a waiter in Het Elfde Gebod . We were going to eat something there and while Frank was talking to him I took the opportunity to make a portrait .
I love to make portraits with my 50mm !
Aha , as good friends I leave the beautiful ladies to my photomate !

They've been together all the time, now where did he possibly hide him?
and Me
A little prologue:
We all started photography nearly around a year ago. Time was fun that then as we were together, had ideas and used to execute them in no time, no matter how hard or time-consuming that was. This is just one of them, a simple photo-merge, but for us its not that simple, not really.

Edited using my typical workflow, but pushed a bit harder to simulate the result obtained editing on my phone. I note the banding is not an issue editing this way. Unfortunately this does not bode well immediately for the PhotoMate 2 app.
This shot was the last shot from Wetherby, West Yorkshire. I enjoyed the whole day very much with my other two photomates and two friends. We covered the whole town by walking and explored beautiful places and finally enjoyed the evening and said to Wetherby Goodnight.

It was when i was coming back from my tour at Moheshkhali, Chittagong, Bangladesh. I was riding a small speedboat alongside my photomates...but the heavier boats couldn't come near the dock because of the shallows. People who are willing to travel from that island walk over a muddy creekland to get to their vessels. This scene is not regularly seen in our surrounding life. A different and dramatic one in my eyes.

This is me on holiday (in Sicily) using my tiny Nexus 7 tablet and 3rd party Bluetooth keyboard to do emails etc.. In fact this was written with it. Of course I can do that using the screen keyboard, but writing and editing are faster & easier with a physical keyboard. This one snaps on the front of the Nexus 7 to be a protective cover, has a slot for holding the screen up like a laptop screen, and being wireless can be be used detached from the screen. It's small, to fit the Nexus 7 exactly, and can't support the high speed key rattling input beloved of actors playing geeks on TV, but is small enough that you can hold it with two hands and do thumb typing. Small size, light weight, high portability for working on the hoof and on holidays were what I was after. What's more, it was very cheap -- the same price as an overpriced simple tablet protecting plastic wallet on sale in High Street shops. And charges off the same USB plug as the Nexus. A charge lasts for ages, possibly long enough to write a book.
So as many have discovered a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard is good enough for doing general computer desk work on the hoof, including the simple editing and exporting to social media and blogs of images from its camera or a smartphone. But what about big images from big cameras? What about more serious editing? RAW files even? Noise reduction? Lens geometry correction? Perspective adjustment?
(A small image import problem with the Nexus 7 solved. You can't plug in memory cards, read files from USB stick or external camera etc.. The USB connector only works as a connector to a host computer with the tablet as slave. But you can get a USB cable switcher which makes the tablet USB a host, and a variety of free apps such as Nexus Media Importer let you read and write USB to USB sticks, cameras, card adapters, etc.. I use a USB card adapter to read my camera's card. So no problem getting images in.)
I already knew that the Nexus 7 could import and display the large 24MP jpegs from my camera (Sony A77). It has good enough colour and resolution to be a portable portfolio, and can zoom right down to pixel level. But how much serious editing on really big images could it support? And were there any good free or inexpensive apps that worked well enough on my Nexus 7 to do that kind of stuff? Big images need some serious image chewing power. For example when I upgraded to 24MP from 14MP my PC started choking and I had to upgrade it. 'Choking' means I could only run one big image editing program at a time, and certain operations changed dramatically from having taken several seconds to taking minutes. Well, it was a very old PC :-)
(This by the way is not a comparative review, just a record of what I found that worked well enough.)
The built in Android Gallery app displays nicely, and I often use it to check what I've got where. It's editing is limited to choosing from prepackaged effects, but it links nicely to image editors that are kind enough to introduce themselves to it.
I first tried Pixlr Express. It was restricted to jpegs, and annoyingly didn't copy all the EXIF data through, especially annoying being losing the GPS location information the camera supplies. It would handle full size 24MP images, but had no options for resizing the image or adjusting the level of jpeg compression. That meant using more memory than needed, and annoyingly slow exporting of batches of images up to the web. The crunch came when I had a folder of nearly 1GB of images. It started slowing down image rendering, sometimes being unable to clarify when zooming in to a high level of resolution. I guessed that had something to do with the nearly 1GB of images, because when I deleted a pile of them it went back to its old speed and detail resolution. The Nexus wasn't running out of memory -- it had over 20MB free at the time.
A quick rummage in the app store turned up nothing more promising looking that was free. At the cheap end of priced apps was Photo Mate, one of the few RAW editors, well reviewed, and offered stuff like curves. I gave it a try, and found that it does image resizing, jpeg quality adjustment, and seems to put through all the EXIF data, including the GPS location my Sony A77 can supply. That's *extremely* useful when in unfamiliar places.
It's a bit fiddly adjusting Photo Mate's sliders with fingers on a touch screen. There's (as yet) no editing of the corresponding numbers. I must try using a screen stylus. Photo Mate sometimes loses the plot and displays an absurdly garish image if you do too much or too extreme fiddling too quickly. No harm done, picks up perfectly if you kill and restart the program. In some places the interface is a bit clunky and being able to leave more standard defaults set up would be handy. These are minor niggles considering the price. So I'm happily using Photo Mate for now.

আজ আমার কিছুই লেখার নাই। অনেকক্ষন ধরে চিন্তা করছি কি লেখা যায়,কি লেখা যায়? কিন্তু কিছুই আসল না মাথায়।তাই ভাবলাম থাক না-আজ নাহয় কিছু নাই লিখলাম...সবসময় এক পথেই যদি চললাম তাহলে তো আমি আর আমি থাকলাম না। তাই আজকে লেখা ছাড়াই আমার এই ছবি। গত কিছুদিন আর আগামী কিছুদিন ফ্লিকারে আমার অনুপস্থিতির জন্য আমি দুঃখিত...পরীক্ষাটা শেষ হলেই নতুন ছবি নিয়ে আবার ফিরব। ততদিনের জন্য বিদায়

sal rosa, ibiza; 13/07/09
Después de un día no muy inspirado necesitaba pasear. Convencí a mi fotocompi y nos escapamos. Lo pasamos bien, pero tampoco fue para echar cohetes. Ya recogíamos cuando se me ocurrió esta foto. Un par de pruebas y tachán. ¿No os recuerda a la canción de Loquillo?
After an unispired day I needed fresh air. I persuaded my photomate and there we went! We enjoyed the time, but it wasn't a glorious session. We were packing when I 'saw' this photo. A couple of tries and... TA-DA!!!
