Exif Wizard is a great free app to inspect details and info on your iPhone photos. I was looking for an app that showed me the time, date and location. Exif Wizard does that and tons more. The paid version offers even more features.

Instagram Is Not A Photography App, It’s A Photographer App
As silly as this sounds, I’ve had trouble wrapping my head around Instagram. I think I’ve finally figured it out. Continue reading “Instagram Is Not A Photography App, It’s A Photographer App”
Why Is It So Difficult to Find Out Who Created a Digital File?
Image, audio and video files on the internet need a more robust metadata system that is supported by web browsers and digital media players. It’s ridiculous that the files themselves can’t tell a web browser and a user who created it, and how to contact or find out more about the artist.
How handy would it be to be able to right-click an image that contained this metadata, and get info about the creator such as their official webpage, Twitter account, Facebook page, iTunes Music Store link, as well as of course copyright info and the like?
And let’s not limit this to just web browsers—why can’t I find out this information from an MP3 file, right from within iTunes? Why do I have to Google the band? This is silly, and this is exactly what the internet was designed for and what computers do best. Perhaps web browsers need to be updated, the HTML specification rewritten—but with the proliferation of media and increasing piracy and copyright infringement, this should be a priority.
It drives me crazy when we have the technology right in front of us and we don’t use it. It also drives me nuts to spend extra time doing things that could be—and should be—done more smartly. This data can be embedded, and it would benefit not only the creators, but the fans.

iPhone 5: Bigger Is Not Always Better

iPhone 4/4S Photo Dimensions Are Not The Same As The Screen

Sol: Sun Clock App
I caught some great sunset photos last week and got the bug to shoot more. I vaguely knew about “magic hour” (a.k.a. “golden hour”) for photos and wanted a want to remind myself of when that time was coming up. But it’s a bit tricky since it’s not at the same time every day. But I found a perfect app that solves the problem in a stylish way.
