Apple’s IOS – 4.2 Released today

iPad

Maybe not exciting for Apple iPhone users but a big update for iPad users.  I know a lot of photographers now using the iPad as their in the field back up device.  A great way of backing up and reviewing your images, before getting back to the office or hotel room to process them on your laptop.

IOS 4.2 brings all the advances that the iPhone 4 has to the ipad.  Available to download today.

Update:  Mac Users, don’t feel left out, a Safari update was also released today.

A Macro Walk in a Autumnal Village

Saturday was a bit of a dull wet morning, no studio photography planned so I decided to chance my macro lens.  Pick a pretty local Lincolnshire Village, and have wonder round with my Nikor 105mm f/2.8 macro lens.

I was looking for red berries and dew/frost encrusted spiders webs.  A pleasant walk and while no stunning shots, it was a fun exercise, and a reminder how hard it is to get good macro shots.

Next time when I am being a bit more serious, i’ll pack my tripod and macro flash gear, oh and don’t forget that reflector, or try a piece of white card, you will be amazed the difference it will make, hope to show you soon.
