Are you excited about the new Apple iPad? Will you be getting one as soon as they're available?

photo editing apps ipad 3 image

Einstein

I must say that if I was a book reader I would definitely pay the extra cash for this device over the Kindle. But, I am surprised at the amount of "disappointment" the new iPad has caused all over internet forums from the geek community.
As far as the price goes, I must say that that's a thing the iPad has going for itself. I was expecting something starting at $700.00 and up.
Are you going to stand in line to get one?

Answer
I am definitely going to get one. I like iBook and iWork features and I also love that it can be connected to digital camera directly and import pictures.I am sure it will have some breathtaking photo editing apps.

My only concern is how would i save the document that I create on iPad and how will i be able to download the email attachment. But I am sure these things must have been taken care of.

There are disappointment because of the hype created by rumors. I remember when in 2007 iPhone was launched, it lacked very common feature like video camera, MMS, copy/paste and atleast a 3 MP camera. But regardless, it sold incredibly well because whatever it did, did amazingly.
Apple is not liked for its feature its admired for its ease of use and thats why Apple is loved only by people who use its products. People who don't use never like Apple because their mind cant see beyond features they cant think of performance.

Many people just see the commercial that iPhone cant do multi tasking and then start bragging about it but the fact is iPhone does multi tasking to a very large extent. For example you can listen to FLYCAST radio and creat a word document at the same time. You can run Voice Recording with other apps. You can run iPod with many other apps.

If you are chatting on Ping and get a message on Yahoo Messenger, you are immediately notified. Push notification is way better than running many apps at the same time. If you are FaceBook and an important news breaks, you are notified.

I am sure even with not so good initial response, iPad will rock just like iPhone did.

How to start developing my own film?

Lana T

I have 35mm and 120 cameras. Is one or the other easier to learn? I don't have a clue where to start. Is this something I can do in my kitchen (bathroom's got limited counter space). Should I stay with one company (Kodak for example) and use only their films and chemicals? Are there kits I should look into? Are color negs harder to do than black and white? How about slide film? I shoot Velvia a lot, but enjoy all film types. Lol that was a lot of questions...

Answer
(1) start with black and white film. It is easiest to process. A good way to get yourself acclimated to the process.
(2) I do not recommend the kitchen, it is where you eat. You have to be very very careful not to splash anything on any surface that you might eat from.
(3) I personally find loading 120 film (before processing) a little more difficult than 135 film. But the difference is negligible.
(4) looking at 120 negatives is much easier - due to the size. and it can be easier for you to take notes and modify your process.

I would recommend starting out with the Kodak Developer HC110.
(1) it is cheap
(2) it is plentiful and most places stock it (more so than the other exotic stock.
(3) it is very versatile.

(a special website that illustrates most of the special properties of HC110)

(I found this youtube channel an invaluable resource in starting out what I need and how to do things. he covers most of the basic principles and it is enough to get started. The expert village videos are a waste of time. )

There is a lot of equipment needed to develop film...There are lots of websites (with pictures) to get a better sense. If you go to B&H photo, there are people there who are really well equipped to help you out. I hesitate to put my equipment list in detail, because i know some people will disagree with me. but here are some of the basics.
- film, film reel, Development tank (I use patterson)
- Chemicals: Developer / stop / fix / hypo agent
- Containers for each developer (don't get them mixed up - label them clearly and use it only for that chemical)
- measuring tools (same with containers, Label and don't' mix them up)
- thermometer
- Plastic baby Syringe - for pouring the HC110 developer syrup.
- Timer (or I use the ipad app http://www.digitaltruth.com/apps/ )
- I use butterfly clips to hang the film to dry.

Edit: it is highly recommended to take a class for guidance at a local college or photography club. I didn't have that opportunity where I live, and had to make a lot of mistakes along the way - which I learned from.
