Chapter 4 of Take Control of Your Digital Photos Posted
The next chapter of my serialized ebook Take Control of Your Digital Photos is now published and available for TidBITS members.

People are capturing memories that would otherwise fade away, and learning more about how to view the world. But the volume of photos has become ...
Canon EOS M Firmware Update Improves Autofocus

The EOS M is a great camera that was initially hobbled by pretty bad autofocus (a reality I address in my book Canon EOS M: From Snapshots to Great Shots). Check out a video comparison of the ...
Triggertrap Flash Adapter Enables High Speed Shots
