25 April, 2010 – Leica S2 Review Update : iPad Reads Raw Files

29 Mar

My friend, and well known Australian photographer, educator and magazine editor Nick Rains, has just completed his tests of the Leica S2.

Leica has also just announced a firmware upgrade for the S2, and Nick kindly provides us today with his brief impressions of the S2, what the firmware upgrade has accomplished, as well as what has been left unresolved.

Another friend, well known London photographer and lecturer Drew Gardner has just completed working with kids in the townships of South Africa, teaching them about photography. Drew asked if I would link to his blog, which I am more than happy to do, as this appears to be a very worthwhile undertaking.

 ____________________

A small number of iPad Camera Connection Kits (USB adaptors and SD card readers) became available over the past few days, and to everyone’s amazement (at least mine) the iPad is able to read all raw camera files that the Mac (OSX / iPhoto / Aperture) can handle.

This is great news, and makes the iPad an ideal travel / storage / backup / review device for photographers working in the field.

The only bad news is that the main shipment of these adaptors won’t be available for another couple of weeks.

The Far Away (3D Second Life Machinima).

29 Mar

I wanted to demonstrate what could be done with Second Life and 3D stereo rendering. So grab those anaglyph (red / cyan) glasses. Crank the system up to ‘HD’ and ‘Full Screen’ and enjoy AM Radio’s seminal installation ‘The Far Away’ – as you have never seen it before… www.get-real.sl http Enjoy.

Using the IZ3D anaglyphic Driver, it is possible to view emulated games through 3D glasses. The Driver (which is Windows only) can be found here: www.iz3d.com Played on Project 64 using Jabo’s Direct3D8 1.6 plugin. Recorded using Camstudio. I came, I played, I sucked. I know, I’m not very good at this game, but I’ve only played it for a few days. I meant this to be a tech demo. Of course, red-cyan glasses are required for this video(although the driver also allows yellow-blue). The music is “The Dark Side of Phobos” by Daniel Baranowsky, and can be found at doom.ocremix.org. As I couldn’t record audio without slowdown, this has to do for now.
