Connect DSLR to iPad for photo shoot instant view?




E W


I have Nikon D90 and iPad 3, how do I connect both for instant viewing during a photo shoot in a home studio?


Answer
There are multiple android apps that can do this so I'd be a little surprised if there were zero ipad/iphone apps. But then again, apple does get a little flaky when it comes to attaching their devices to non-apple products.

If you have an Android device, have a look at "Helicon Remote". It's VERY easy to use. I just plug my phone into my Canon t3i and I have instant live view, plus total manual control including focus.

ONLINE DSLR-style photo editor?

Answer
Looking at the examples in your link tells me that you are trying to fake a shallow DOF, something a phone "camera" simply won't give you.

First of all, I would strongly suggest NOT to fake it - the real thing looks so much better. Getting a real camera is so very superior to using a TELEPHONE to take photos, then having to mess around with it endlessly in an effort to pretend you used a real camera.

If you insist on using a phone to do a camera's job, then get a half decent image "editing" program.
Adobe Photoshop, PS Elements, PaintShopPro, Gimp or even Photoscape (the last two are free).

Using a website is fine if you only want to do a few photos, but resident programs are the much better option if you have more or want to do this regularly. If it MUST be a free website, try http://pixlr.com/ or http://www.sumopaint.com/ or http://aviary.com/ .

Now you need to learn about layers, selections, blur options, masks and gradients.
Lots to learn for so-so results, but yes, if YOU think it is really worth it, it can be done.
