This is a good quality camera for getting shots at antique shops, fairs, and general life stuff: My travel kit is a smaller, less obtrusive set-up. I also use a stock Canon EF 50mm lens f1.8 (that used to be sold with film cameras) as a great low light portrait lens and those can be snagged for about $125 new but can easily be found secondhand for less. If it ever came to it, I’d probably end up replacing it with two different lenses - one macro lens and then a good quality standard zoom. Sadly, its no longer in production, the closest alternative would probably be this 17-70mm f/2.8-4. Its not the fastest auto focus lens in the world but my pens and inks don’t tend to run off that often. It works great is low light and built-in macro was just what I wanted. If you are considering the purchase of a dSLR, spend more money on the lens than the camera. It could probably be repaired, I just haven’t gotten around to it. Prior to inheriting the T1i from a friend (its on long-term loan) I’d been using a Canon Rebel XTi that I’d used for over 100K images before the light meter went out on it.
#PICFRAME DESKTOP PORTABLE#
Adorama 5-in-1 portable light reflectorĬanon is up to a T5i version of the camera body, adding more, bigger, faster, and perks like built-in filters.My largest rig is kept mostly in my home office and is used for a good deal of the posts on the blog and for the shop. Any one of these is a good place to start. These have been accumulated over several years so don’t ever think you need to go out and buy four set-ups to get decent shots. I actually use four different cameras depending on my circumstances. Its not something I normally talk about here but a lot of jobs require capturing images so I thought this was as good time to cover my hardware.

Macworld/iWorld in San Francisco March 27-29. Want to find out about more cool Mac apps? Check out our PicFrame may not have the bells and whistles of fancier collaging apps, but its tools are perfect for those looking to put together a quick collage for an email message, Facebook post, or tweet. You can export your collage at resolutions up to 3264 by 3264 pixels, depending on the quality you need, and directly share it-via Messages, AirDrop, Twitter, Facebook, or Flickr-using the built-in OS X Share sheet. PicFrame lets you share your collage directly from within the app. If you want filters, captions, or extra frou frou, you’ll want to find a supplemental app (or use a more-complicated collage app to begin with). Beyond the borders themselves, however, there aren’t many bells and whistles-but that’s for the best when it comes to keeping PicFrame easy to use. The 36 border patterns range from a classy textured paper to outrageously silly 3D plaid you can opt instead for a solid-color frame if you’d rather eschew the extra personality. Images persist even if you switch templates, making it easy to play around with your design while building your collage. One added, you can zoom and move the photo to properly center the desired part in the frame. To add a photo, you either drag and drop it into a frame, or click a frame and then pick an image from a standard OS X file-navigation dialog box. Some of the background patterns may be silly, but you can opt for solid colors, instead. The overall dimensions of the collage can be altered, too, depending on what social network you plan to share with: You choose from 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, or 16:9. For example, you can make photo borders thin or thick, rounded or square, solid or patterned-whatever works for you. You can’t build your own frame from scratch, but there are enough options here that it’s pretty easy to customize anything you might want. Each template is adjustable in both positioning and size. Its iOS sibling in design, offering 73 frame templates with up to nine photos in a template.
