I regularly use Instagram to add a nice retro filter to a photo but if you’ve just taken the picture using the camera you’re limited to the crop and image size. However, I use 360 Pano and Microsoft’s Photosynth to take more engaging and immersive images. The workflow is quite simple – depending on light, [...]
iPhone 4 and the GoPano Micro panoramic video lens
Well, after what seems to have been a lifetime and the day before the release of the iPhone 4S, I finally received the GoPano Micro – one of the Kickstarter projects. So, what’s in the box? The two key components are a split case and the panoramic lens. The split case allows you to use [...]
Must have camera apps for the iPhone 4S
With no sight of the eagerly expected iPhone 5, the iPhone 4S does come with a much improved camera sensor and lens assembly. Firstly, what’s changed? The old 5-megapixel camera on the iPhone 4 has been upgraded to 8-megapixels. It also has a bigger aperture of f/2.4 thus allowing in a lot more light which [...]

iPhone 4, Sony Bloggie 360 lens and the GoPano app
It’s been months since the GoPano micro lens was successfully backed on kickstarter.com and most of the backers are a little disappointed with the time it’s taken to get the product to market. The other 360 lens launched on kickstarter.com was the kogeto dot360 – a product which is also having similar production problems. [...]
Canon 7D and iOS 5 beta 7 compatibility
With the launch of iOS 5 just a few weeks ago I thought I’d do a quick compatibility check with the Canon 7D file types. Firstly, importing from the CF card reader still works (non-jailbroken) using the inbuilt iOS Photo app. Unfortunately you can’t access the card using GoodReader or Filebrowser – that will [...]
INSTAGRAM CONTEST
An exhibit called “My World Shared,” will take place October 22-23rd at the East Gallery in London based on submissions by iPhone instagram users. The rules are quite simple – the exhibition is about iPhone photography, so they’re looking for photos taken and processed on an iPhone. The image below is my current submission – [...]

Ramsgate Regatta
After participating in a few of the spring and summer race series I joined the crew of Magnum skippered by Martin Ross for the Ramsgate Regatta (organised by the Royal Temple Yacht Club). Predictably the summer weather did not disappoint with poor winds and mostly cloud covered days – with the occasional heavy rain showers [...]
Where to buy quality gourmet sausages in London
The summer is here which can mean only one thing, rain. However, even in the UK we do have a couple of good days which necessitate the unboxing of the rarely used BBQ. Ignoring the usual fish and steaks, sausages are probably the best barbecuing food – only if the sausage is of top quality. [...]
