    iPhone Camera Accessories

    Photographers love to accessorize their cameras, and the iPhone is no different. A case is one thing, but what about other photo-centric add-ons? Should you buy an extra-wide or telephoto lens that snaps in front of the built-in cameras? What about grips and shutter buttons that make the iPhone feel more like a traditional camera? We weigh in with our opinions and experiences with these types of embellishments. (And Jeff accidentally uses the B-word.)

With threads so fine, a wondrous weave, You banish dust and dirt, make surfaces breathe. No stain too stubborn, no smudge too sly, Your magic touch makes grime comply. From glass to wood, from screen to steel, You polish and shine with effortless zeal. A guardian of gadgets, protector of screens, In your fibers lies the cleanest of dreams. No harsh chemicals, no wasteful spree, Eco-friendly warrior, you set us free. Oh microfiber cloth, so light yet strong, In your service, we find where we belong. For every streak erased, every speck undone, You are the unsung hero of everyone. So here’s to you, oh fabric divine, A marvel of science and design. May your threads endure and ever thrive, For in your care, our homes come alive.

    Cleaning Up Libraries

    As we wrap up 2024, we’re realizing our photo libraries have grown quite a bit—in Jeff’s case, almost filling his cloud storage. So as we anticipate some holiday downtime, we’re turning our attention to strategies for cleaning up our photo libraries. Note that we’re taking the next episode off to celebrate Christmas, so our next scheduled episode is January 10, 2025. Happy holidays!

    What Is a Photo?

    Our recent discussions of AI and the Photos Clean Up tool have brought us full circle to the bigger question: What is a photo? Hosts: Jeff Carlson: website, Jeff's photos, Jeff on Instagram, Jeff on Glass, Jeff on Mastodon Kirk McElhearn: website, Kirk's photos, Kirk on Instagram, Kirk on Glass, Kirk on Mastodon Sponsor: Nitro from Gentlemen Coders Currently featured by Apple as an “App We Love,” Nitro is the new photo editor and manager for Mac, iPhone and iPad from the developer of RAW Power. And now, Nitro is on sale for the holidays. You can get Nitro for 50% off until December 2nd, 2024, and 20% off after that. Designed for every photographer and every photograph, Nitro combines flexible storage options, unmatched camera support, and professional editing tools. If you liked Aperture or RAW Power, you’ll love Nitro and its beautiful user interface. On the editing side, Nitro includes full masking support with AI masks, gradients, and brushes. Remove dust blemishes and other imperfections using Clone and Spot Removal tools. And, just like RAW Power, you can apply raw-specific tone and tuning adjustments. Nitro gives you more control over Apple's RAW decoder than any other app. And, it’s great at editing JPEGs and HEIF images too! For organizing, your photos can live in Apple’s Photos library or in the file system, with support for XMP sidecars and synchronizing metadata and edits with iCloud Photo Library. Nitro also supports more cameras and formats than Photos, Darkroom, or Photomator, including compressed Fujifilm RAW files and the Nikon HE format. And while comparing shots, synchronize pan and zoom of up to 16 images at a time. Integration with ExifTool on the Mac lets you see and compare all of the metadata in your images. Try Nitro for free for 7 days without any obligation. No subscription signup, no nonsense. And remember, you can get Nitro for 50% off until December 2nd, 2024, and 20% off after that.
