SORRY, LOST THE VIDEO IN THE FILE SYSTEM BIT BUCKET

VIDEO: Two minutes of TrainZ for Mac. – I just had to try out the new SmugMug upload with video. It was super fast for this file; 23.5 Mb. Playback is great and just as fast, no hiccups. Used Snapz Pro X by Ambrosia to make the screen movie. Just click on the photo and you will be whisked away to the video.

Review – Satechi TR-M Multi-Function Timer & Remote Control for the Nikon D90

Interested in the Satechi TR-M for Nikon D90? Click for product spec info.

Yesterday, I received my Satechi TR-M Multi-Function Timer & Remote Control in the mail. I had been putting off making a purchase for a an intervalometer and remote for some time now. Always looking for something better, but never finding it. Well, at the end of August, I decided to bite the bullet and place an order for not the most expensive, and not the cheapest, but the one with the best reviews, the Satechi. I made the purchase on Amazon.com and I’m convinced I made the right product choice.

The product arrived in good condition via the USPS, wrapping intact and the box not crushed or damaged. This is the shipping method used when you opt for the least expensive method. Hey, there is no point in going to Amazon.com, getting the best price, and then blowing the savings on shipping. Don’t get me wrong, FedEx and UPS are great, just too expensive for me.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was a pair of AAA batteries. This is unusual for most manufacturers these days and was a pleasant surprise since I just ran out of this type and had not made the trek to Costco to re-supply. Armed with batteries and an instruction sheet, I was ready to shoot.

Review – Jackie Pinto Photography

Pinto's Home Page - Mom and Daughter

This is the photo that first caught my eye.

It is not often that I write a review about another photographer or website these days. In fact, I have not written a review in about three or four years; not since I was the General Manager and Editor for 1st Responder Newspaper – California Edition. However, when a website catches my eye and forces me to return time after time to view it again and again, I find I am compelled to write about what I have discovered and share with the masses.  Such is the case of Jackie Pinto Photography.

Upon your first encounter at Jackie’s website you know that your eyes and your brain are in for a treat. It was the second photo in the slide show (photo above/left) that grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. Jackie’s great eye for composition and editing caught the essence of this mom and her daughter.
