With all the advancements in technology we still don't have the ability to take pictures that can pull in the full range of light that our eyes can see. That is why you see windows that are all washed out, or lack of details in clouds in photos. The sensor on any camera can't see everything that your eye can pick up. I guess the good Lord did a pretty good job in making us. As for camera's, that's where High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography comes in. It is a crafty technique of taking several photo's of the same subject all at different exposures, then with the magic of the computer and even some cameras, blending the images together so that we can have all that tonal range in one photo. It sounds complicated but it really isn't. 

I recently upgraded my camera collection to include the full frame Canon 5D mark ii. I did a lot of research before I bought it and the drop in price because of a newer version coming out soon was helpful in deciding on this pro camera. It came down to the 7D and the 5dii. I found out that the 7D was not a full-frame camera nd the 5D was. I wasn't sure exactly how beneficial that would be to me but I do enjoy having a wide-angle of coverage with my photography.

Trico Centre gets to use ExpressionEngine on their new site with smiles all around.

ExpressionEngine once again propels a company in the online space. Canoe Financial got a major facelift on the front-end and back-end. Kinoli was happy to make this happen.

Kinoli gets a new ExpressionEngine website out the door and was even able to do all of the photography for the Bed and Breakfast website.

Let us know what you think of our new site.

This was a pretty exciting website that we built with ExpressionEngine. We got to work with the design team at Juice Creative and found it a breeze to build it with ExpressionEngine. It was also our first time using an EE plugin called Structure. It is a great plugin that gives a hierarchical representation of your site pages in the back-end, making it simple for a client to find what piece of content they need to update. Needless-to-say, we'll be using Structure from now on with our clients. ExpressionEngine has a great following of developers and their are a lot of top quality plugins available for it because of that.

We recently designed and developed a new iPhone application. Our friends at Istros Media Corporation in New York came up with this concept of building an app for AICP in the hopes of saving their client up to $50K in printing costs annually. The iPhone application essentially replaces a printed directory of all the registered AICP members around the world. Not only does it save them printing costs but it also allows them to update the content at any time they want, since it is being loaded from their web server. Any member with a directors reel also can link to that reel. We have some great prospective ideas for the app that will likely be added in the near future.

Take a look at the application.
