The iPad 3 (New iPad) has pretty shallow Depth of Field!

I took this photo in my back yard recently and was surprised at how well it turned out. I just pointed my iPad at the bleeding hearts and snapped this shot. This is completely unprocessed and straight from the iPad! With a bit of tweaking in iPhoto, it should look even better!

iPhoto for iPad

Being an avid photographer, I was very happy to see that Apple had created the iPhoto app for the iPhone and iPad. I downloaded it on day one and have enjoyed using it quite a bit. It's one of the best bargains out there for $4.99! Highly recommended.

iPad 3 (New iPad) ordered!

I was one of the earlier buyers of the iPad 3 and so hopefully, will get it on the early side. It's scheduled to ship on the 19th of March and arrive by the 21st! Let's hope it actually happens!!!

Snapseed from Nik Software FREE 'til 9/23/2011

If you've been tempted by Snapseed for the iPad, I highly recommend you download it and give it a try. Particularly before 9/23/2011. The software is free!

Normally, it's priced at $4.99 and I caught it when it was reduced to $1.99 so it's definitely a bargain. I highly recommend this App since it works wonderfully well and is very powerful.

Off-Topic - Google + (Plus) Invites

Sorry for the off-topic posting, however, I've been able to get a Google + account and want to pass along my good fortune to others who may want one. Just send an email to my Gmail account here:

ambroseliao at gmail dot com

Of course, remove all the spaces, replace the "at" with an "@" and replace the "dot" with a "."

If you don't know what Google + Plus is, it's the new social networking site that's a direct competitor to Facebook. It is a bit more open and seems to be a bit more secure than FB as well as being more capable and infinitely less burdened with ads, "pokes" and other fluff.

I'll try to get the invite out to you as quickly as possible.

One note:After giving out invites for a day or two, I've found that Gmail and Yahoo email accounts get an invite almost immediately and others either are delay or don't get them at all...

Keep that in mind when you send me the request.

Thanks,

Ambrose

The Wonders of iMovie on the iPad 2

I'm now totally convinced of how wonderful iMovie on the iPad 2 is. It makes HD video capture, editing and uploading completely effortless.

Here are the steps I used to capture this movie from this past weekend's dog shows where my dog Cosmo was entered...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMM-GLpLLkU

1. Capture the different dogs as they were shown.
2. Open iMovie on the iPad 2.
3. Double tap the different videos in the order that I wanted. They drop into the timeline.
4. Select the Theme that I wanted to use (primarily for the background music)
5. Upload to Youtube or Facebook.

Really, it's that easy! No complicated transfers, no complicated software to learn, no going to a different website or application in order to upload. It's all completely easy and all in one $4.99 app!
