Tom Tweedel is one of our three software reviewers and he just put up a great review on Portrat Professional.  This is an interesting package offering features you won't find anywhere else.  I wrote a bit about it here.  Check out Tom's Review here.

Tom Tweedel is back with more thoughts about his new Fuji x100 which of course he had to go buy after borrowing mine and learning first hand what a great all around camera it is.  But who can blame him?  Read his first review here, and his new follow up review here..

My son and I just returned from the County Auto Show where we showed our Mustang Cobra.  We had hoped to participate in the Autocross event, but they were held at the same time and we couldn't race and show the car at the same time.  We have another Autocross event on June 4th and I'm sure we'll be in that one!  I wanted to share a couple photos taken in the bright afternoon sun with my Fuji x100.

We put up six new articles this week.   Our Feature Photograph is "Welcome to the World Landon", followed by "Thailand Trip Report" by the Rickster, with a new feature "Anatomy of a Workshop" which should be a 'must read' for everybody.  Our questions and answers section has "Questions About Selective Saturation, Long Lens Use, and adding Contacts to an Android Phone."  We have the News For The Month of April 8th through May 5th 2012, and finally Dana gives us another great Thailand Photo Story titled "Sometimes A Picture Is Not Enough."

I just posted my review on the Nest Learning Thermostat, perhaps the oddist thing I've ever reviewed on this site.  And the most fascinating.  The Apple Engineer who invented the Ipod designed and marketed this futuristic thermostat and I've been using it 3-4 weeks now and it's so unusual I wanted to share it with you.  Don't miss this full in-depth review on Nest's Learning Thermostat.

I'm sorry for not doing much in the photography area these last few weeks.  Somehow I've found myself sidetracked into the website development and video capture areas, both new areas for me so I've had a lot to learn.  Some of the learning has paid off, if you look around the site you'll notice some of the markup HTML I wrote for the other site is much better than I paid to have done for this site, so I put it to work in our sidebar areas where you'll see a more attractive text layout, pictures in the right perspective, and on the blog index pages the pictures are in the right perspective as well. 

So far so good, and more cool changes will happen as I incorporate new ideas.  Thank you for your patience and I encourage you to keep stopping by, I have a few reviews coming out next week you'l llove, one review is so far from photography it really doesn't belong on this site, but once you read it you'll want one too!

Sorry folks, I forgot to tell you 6 new articles have been put up this Saturday morning.  Our feature photograph is titled "Extreme Image Processing" and is a fun look at processing images at a later time and getting a lot out of them.  Then, Tom Tweedel gives us another travel report from inside China called "Guangzhou China."  Then we have a must read SSD review titled "Intel 520 Series 240gb Cherryville SSD Review", News For the Month of March 4th through April 7th, readers questions covering HDR, Memory Cards, and the Canon SX40.  And finally, Dana graces our Thailand Photo Stories page with a heartfelt introspective called "Take a Picture!"

I've just put up a review on the hottest SSD available in the SATA form factor.  The Intel 520 Series 240gb Cherryville SSD is the new standard which will be recommended in every custom computer build where speed and reliablity are the main priorities.  Read our review here to see why I'm so enthused about this new SSD.
