Dennis Fahringer's blog http://fotofah.posterous.com Most recent posts at Dennis Fahringer's blog posterous.com Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:52:00 -0800 Film/TV recommendation: "Page Eight" (excellent, from PBS Masterpiece Contemporary) http://fotofah.posterous.com/filmtv-recommendation-page-eight-excellent-fr http://fotofah.posterous.com/filmtv-recommendation-page-eight-excellent-fr

I watched this last night on my (free) PBS app on my iPad, but it's also available to watch online at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/watch/pageeight.html

I've read and watched a lot of espionage (non-fiction as well as fiction). This was excellent with some top-flight actors. No chase scenes, gun battles, or explosions, but very well-plotted and..cerebral.

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:04:00 -0700 Narrowing down to videos worth watching online: free app, Showyou, for iPad http://fotofah.posterous.com/narrowing-down-to-videos-worth-watching-onlin http://fotofah.posterous.com/narrowing-down-to-videos-worth-watching-onlin

Showyou_app_free-1

 

From their email to me today:

When we first launched Showyou, our goal was to make it both fun and useful. And we think you'll find Showyou 2.0 for the iPad twice as fun, and twice as useful, as the first version.

First, you can now search for videos, and it's delightful. Results are displayed in the fun-to-browse and efficient Showyou grid. Equally important, the results are "people-powered" -- every one of the millions of videos in our database is there because someone on Showyou, or one of their friends, decided it was worth sharing.

Second, there are now more grids to browse. Starting today, any publisher can create a Grid on Showyou with videos they've made, or curated. You'll find Grids from The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, TED and dozens more. Beware, you'll spend hours watching videos once you dive in.

We've also updated the Showyou interface, and simplified the ways to share videos. And for this version of the app, there's a snazzy new red icon.

One more thing: you can now share videos by email. Finally!

More details on all these changes on our blog (link below). And here's a handy link to get the updated app if you need it:

Thanks for your support, and stay tuned -- there's (a lot) more to come soon.

See the story at the link above. The video is without sound, as the app is still a work in progress. ;-)

This would be more for the iPad 2 (with 2 cameras) than the original iPad. But clever folks quickly discovered that they could combine an iPhone with its camera with the original iPad to give it a webcam. :-)

Their favorite seems to be #8, but other top ones I took note of were #1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 14.

Fri, 13 May 2011 12:25:00 -0700 The “Kelby Training Online” App is finally out :-) http://fotofah.posterous.com/the-kelby-training-online-app-is-finally-out http://fotofah.posterous.com/the-kelby-training-online-app-is-finally-out

The wait it over! (Yay!) Nobody is more surprised (or happy) than I, but yes—it’s finally here—the Kelby Training Online app, for iPad AND iPhone, is now available for FREE in the App Store. Oh happy freakin’ day!!! Here’s the link.

Here’s the full screen view with Matty K on screen. I purposely chose a capture where his mouth was frozen open like that. He gets a kick out of it when I capture him at precise moments like this. :)

Here’s a look at the Portrait orientation view. That’s Joe McNally gesturing to what he would call a “Luminous Light Source.”

I am so excited (relieved) that’s it’s finally here. It actually came out late last night, I was already getting emails from people who are already using and totally loving it! My thanks to iPad developer (and App book author) Shawn Welch for his fantastic work on the App, along with our own in-house team who worked so hard to get this App up and running, including Kleber Stephenson, Erik Kuna, Paul Wilder, Dave Moser, Matt Kloskowski, RC Concepcion, Brad Moore, and Tommy Maloney.

Did I mention the Kelby Training Online iPad app is here now? I did? Well…whoo hoo!!! :)

And free, too. :-)
