iPhone app for remote control of Nikon DSLR coming soon By [NR]

For iPhone users - soon you will be able to control your Nikon DSLR through your iPhone, including LiveView (camera must be connected to a computer):

In a blog post about the Apple approval, onOne Software's Mike Wong says a Nikon version of DSLR Remote will be next. To Nikon users, Wong writes:

“I’ve got good news for you - we will be adding support for Nikon DSLRs as well which will be available in an update to the app in the very near future. A special thank you goes out to some good friends at Nikon who were kind enough to send some cameras and accessories out to us today for testing. We expect to get the Nikon DSLR cameras in our office tomorrow and we’ll begin testing. Stay tuned to this blog for the most up-to-date info on when the Nikon support will be available.”

I knew it! This is exactly how I feel :-)

Forrester Research suggests iPhone users are richer, younger, and more productive at work than those who use competing smartphones, according to a new study released Friday.
The study from independent market analysis company Forrester Research suggests iPhone users comprise the elite upper class of smartphone customers.
It found that those who own an iPhone are typically more active on their phones and more connected to the internet than those who fell into generic “smartphone” or “mobile phone” categories.”

Abstract Photography

Some images lend themselves to be converted into black and white, most notably portraits and pets I think but, the effective use of isolated colour in monochrome images can be very eye catching and portray important information and emotions.

A minimalist approach seems to work best and although I've tried this with a number of images it never really worked until I was inspired by another photographers image of a dog I saw on one of the photographers blogs I read, I can't remember who? So while this technique is not new or especially clever I think it works for this one of Hermione.
