Enter Soundslide

(tempoarily out of order…sorry!)

After reading the article about Soundslides on Rob Galbraiths site (www.robgalbraith.com) I’ve bought an audio recorder and downloaded the Soundslide software (www.soundslides.com). Why? It’s fun! The Soundslide software is easy to work with. But you might want to get a second piece of software – namely a program to edit your audio track. I use the free software Wavepad (www.nch.com.au/wavepad)

Instead of working in Macromedia Flash (now Adobe) Soundslide does all that for you. It is not as advanced, but perfect for a photojournalist who need to do a presentation within half an hour.

Take a look at the slideshow above (remember sound). We had a Bachata national championship on April 13th. and I was there with my camera and a Roland Edirol sound recorder. It is only my third one, so tell me what you think. Is it to long? How is the sound?

Impressive results from the Nokia N73

I’ve had the Nokia N73 for a month now. I went out and bought it for the sole reason to be able to shoot some photos while staying on Manhattan, and send them back home to a website with a short update about my stay.

Though it’s ‘just’ a camera phone, the Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/5.6 3.2 mpixel lens does a really good job! I’s got autofucus and a small flash. The main camera (yes, there is two) is positioned behind a neat little slide-away cover at the back of the camera. The secondary camera is placed on the upper front side above the screen. This camera is intended for the kind of snapshots of one self with a friend while holding it out in a stretched arm. However, the secondary camera is of a poor quality.

When looking at the pictures the large screen is an absolute pleasure! It’s big, bright and clear, and when using the little joystick moving around in the menues is easy. That said, the menues is (well, to me) overwhelming. I often give up trying to find some tools or to configure some personal settings.

Nokia has teamed up with photoshare website Flickr.com, and that is cool! So, “Shoot and share your photos on Flickr in just one click”. Read all about it here: http://www.flickr.com/nokia

Nokia is about to launch a new model these days: The N95. And with a wooping 5 mpixel Carl Zeiss lens I can only imagine that it must be awesome!
