LIGHTWEIGHT, FUNCTIONAL, VERY AFFORDABLE....AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS
It's not every day that we come across a device which is simultaneously cheap ( by cheap I mean affordable), extremely functional and doesn't weigh a ton.
It's a
Let me introduce you to
I know that on the market there is wide offering of devices that possess similar functionalities. All major brands sell wireless hard drives that will sync with your iOS, Android and even Windows Phone devices. Personally I never did much photo editing on laptops, the only use I had for them was to empty memory cards or shooting tethered while outdoors. This nifty little device does all that and it still has a few tricks up its sleeve. Through a wireless connection you can transfer photos from your devices to an available SD card reader or to a USB storage media, be it a pen drive or a regular external HDD.
Having connectivity in mind the manufacturer included an ethernet port so that while connected to the device you can still access the Internet while uploading the files from your camera. It has a micro USB port for charging its battery or to connect it to the computer and use it as an SD card reader. Also, the internal battery that powers it can also be used to charge a tablet or smartphone (I charged my iPhone twice on a single charge of its battery). All this packed into a device that only weighs 171 g. It also can stream media to several devices since it's able to read a good variety of file formats. Although it can store any other formats.
At the end of this post I placed at PDF with its full specs.
Last but not least, it's price; I got it for around €40, a bargain.

Lytro Illum Camera
Light Field Sensor
The first Lytro Camera was an interesting piece of kit, using light field technology to take photos that could be refocused after the fact. But with a maximum resolution of 1080x1080 and an unusual elongated body, it was more tech demo than usable tool. The Lytro Illum Camera looks to change all that. Built around a more traditional body, it features an 8x zoom lens, the ability to focus on objects that are literally touching the lens, an SD slot for storage, and a 40 Megaray CMOS sensor that works in concert with a Snapdragon processor to produce 4MP images that offer all the refocusing magic of the tiny pics from the original.

THOUGHT I LOST THESE....
A WORKSHOP REALLY WORTH WATCHING...
Tim Cooper gives a very complete and understandable rundown on an HDR workflow using Adobe Lightroom and Photomatix Pro. The results are very realistic as they should be. As I always pointed out HDR is not a photographic style or genre, it is a tool designed to overcome the limitations that digital cameras have in capturing detail on the shadows and highlights on a single frame. It Is worth watching every minute. Enjoy.
