This is just a fun little thing NASA built. Type in your name or your company name, and it will find corresponding naturally occurring "letters" that appear in Landsat satellite images. Type in the different combinations of lower and upper case letters, and you can force it to do variations.

Here is "Tangilla."

These "digital Polaroids" are cute, but you can tell from the illustrations in the article that the color is going to be way off for many photos. Since it can only display black, white, red, and yellow, vibrant colors are going to suffer. But the ability to change a photo hanging anywhere with no power consumption is a dream I've had for a long time. The tech will come and the prices will drop. We're not far away.

This article makes a great point. And yes, there is so much more to landscape photography than stunning skies. Granted. I still love sunsets and don't really care if my focus on them is "bad" for my landscape photography. That said, now that I'll be spending more time in the Pacific Northwest, I'll probably start trying to go a bit deeper into the woods for some shots.

Of course, this post doesn't really mention Matterport, but I can't help but watch the videos in the creation process and look at the end result. I can't help but think that, if I were Matterport, I might be just a bit concerned about how quickly technology is encroaching on a space that was once uniquely theirs.

The Minnesota ban has been in the works for at least a year, and it has been amended to protect professional photo editors who run apps like Photoshop.

This is a good article about something I've not tried yet. I've written a lot about using RAW on the iPhone over on my photo blog at InTheViewfinder.com, but I've never used Halide's "Process Zero" options. That will be my next iPhone photo adventure.

"Instead of stacking multiple exposures and applying Apple’s entire imaging pipeline, Process Zero captures a single frame with minimal intervention. No Smart HDR. No Deep Fusion. No aggressive sharpening."
