Facebook Photos, one of the social network's most popular features, is getting a big and potentially controversial upgrade that automatically suggests whom users should tag in photos based on facial recognition technology.
The new feature, Tag Suggestions, will begin rolling out to U.S. users next week, according to Facebook Vice President of Product Chris Cox. He told us that the product utilizes technology that was built in-house, as well as some technology that came from partners. Cox did not disclose the partners Facebook worked with for Tag Suggestions, although we have our suspicions. Tag Suggestions is fairly straightforward. Facebook Takes on Flickr with High-Res Image Sharing | Tech News Daily. What Does Facebook’s New Photo Viewer Mean for Artists Online? Facebook's new photo viewer, with lightbox Since the inception of Facebook’s photo viewer, an influential tool that’s become the go-to for documentation of everything from social events to product launches, users have been stuck at a pretty lousy 72 DPI and 720 pixels.
Those digits mean an image size that’s low enough to make even high-quality pictures look bad, adding grain, and distorted colors. The limitations were even annoying enough for artist Jonald James to start a Facebook group in protest, Artists Against Facebook’s Image Compression Process. Yet though difficulties remain, new Facebook updates point to a way forward for art and artists online. The message of James’s group is that Facebook isn’t just for presenting shitty party pics, but also presents a tool that artists depend on for marketing and sales. “Let’s face it,” their About statement reads, “Facebook’s photo management really sucks.” Kevinmullett's Home. 10 Tools To Upload Facebook Photos. TwitPic Labs. Facebook’s New Photo Tagging Feature Selects Friends For You. Facebook has begun testing face detection technology for Facebook Photos.
This is the first of what seems like a series of new features for its popular photo product. The tests, which some users will see starting today, focus on decreasing the tediousness of "tagging" friends in Facebook photos. In the current Photos feature, users upload photos, click on each face in a photo, tag that photo with the friend pictured therein and continue the process until the album is tagged. If you've got a large album or a lot of friends in a single photo, this process is inefficient and tedious. To solve this problem, Facebook has implemented face detection technology that will automatically find faces in photos and select them, eliminating one of the most tedious steps in tagging Facebook friends in photos. Your friends are already selected by the software — all you have to do is answer the Facebook prompt, "Whose face is this? " Real-Time Media Sharing | TweetPhoto. 5 Terrific Gadgets for the Social Media Shutterbug.
Rather than studying the cold, hard spec lists, we think the best way to chose a new camera is to consider how you'll use it. After all, there's no point in having a sky-high megapixel count if you're never going to print your pics, or a huge optical zoom if you only ever snap your friends and family. With this in mind, we've rounded up some great photography options for social media types with a focus on connectivity that we think will suit bloggers and social networkers alike. These selections will make it quicker and easier than ever to get your content — be it stills or video — uploaded to the web.
Now, say cheese! 1. iPhone 3GS Perhaps a slightly controversial choice considering the hardware specs — the 3GS only just manages a 3-megapixel camera while the wider industry offers 12-megapixel beasts — it's the software in the form of thousands of available apps that makes us confident to name the iPhone 3GS a strong social media contender in the mobile snapper space. 2. 3. Cost: $170 4. 10 beautiful examples of photography in the rain | Jean-Michel Leclercq. Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitated—that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth.
It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystem, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation. The major cause of rain production is moisture moving along three-dimensional zones of temperature and moisture contrasts known as weather fronts. If enough moisture and upward motion is present, precipitation falls from convective clouds (those with strong upward vertical motion) such as cumulonimbus (thunder clouds) which can organize into narrow rainbands.

Every once in awhile I find something while out searching that gives me inspiration to write a new blog post. Today was one of those days. While I would never name names, I decided to give photographers some ideas on how to change their business around. I just read that under normal times, the 80/20 rule applies. So in normal times, 20 percent of businesses will thrive and prosper, and 80 percent will hold steady or slowly go into decline. But in today’s economic times, we move to a 95/5 rule.
And I know why. You can’t give up; you have to work a little harder. You can’t quit marketing; you have to market more efficiently. You can’t do what everyone else is doing; you have to clear your own path. So with those thoughts in mind, let’s discuss the 10 ways you can currently fail as a photographer, and hopefully you’ll see some ideas that can help turn around your own business. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The glossy print, it seems, is losing its sheen. According to estimates from IDC, 42 billion photos will be printed worldwide, both commercially and personally, in 2013. That's a third fewer than the 63 billion printed in 2008. Meanwhile about 124 billion photos are on pace to be shared through social networks that year. If it maintains its momentum, Facebook will probably host the biggest share of these images. The advent of the affordable digital camera circa 2001 was hard enough on the photo industry.
People no longer had to buy film because photos could be stored on memory cards or on a computer hard drive. Now Facebook is slowly but surely turning the nozzle of the industry's only other real revenue stream: photo printing. Facebook is making the glossy print look as old-fashioned as a black-and-white Polaroid. Most important, Facebook provides a photo-sharing process that's fun and ongoing. Many people now upload pictures and share them with family and friends online instead. Giz Explains: Why ISO Is the New Megapixel - Digital Cameras - Gizmodo.

One of the first things you probably want to know after taking a photo is whether or not you got your intended exposure. You might be tempted to look at the preview on your LCD screen, but when you’re shooting photos outdoors in the sun, those previews can be very deceiving, making your photos look much brighter than they actually are. So, how do you know if you got the right exposure? Well, one way is to use the histogram. What is the histogram? If the word “histogram” brings back bad memories of boring lectures in math class, don’t worry: the histogram is pretty simple.
It basically just shows the distribution of light and dark pixels in your image. Here’s an example, with each axis labeled: The left side of the graph shows how many dark pixels you have in your image, while the right side of the graph shows how many light pixels you have in your image. At first you may think that every image should have a balanced (i.e. bell curve) histogram, but this doesn’t always happen. Triggering multiple cameras. Part of an array of 120 Canon EOS 30D cameras controlled using 5 laptops running DSLR Remote Pro Multi-Camera There are two ways multiple cameras can be fired at the same time using DSLR Remote Pro Multi-Camera which are described below.
In order to eliminate variable delays due to auto-focus the cameras should be set to manual focus and pre-focused before taking the photos. With PSRemote Multi-Camera it is only possible to trigger the cameras using the first method. To minimize variations due to auto-focus delays the cameras should be pre-focused by selecting AF lock in the main PSRemote Multi-Camera window. Using AF lock you can usually synchronise multiple Canon PowerShot cameras to within less than 1 ms.
