  • Hack Your Canon PowerShot (Excerpt from Zizz Davis What's New Newsletter)

Last year I bought my wife a new Canon PowerShot, a digital 
camera I chose for its simplicity, quality images, and hidden 
depths. I didn't realize, though, how right I was about the 
last part until I read this fascinating project story from 
former long-time PCMagger Ben Gottesman. Apparently you can 
load a little bit of software onto an SD card, put it in the 
camera, and voila! you've got a RAW-shooting, motion-detection, 
time-lapse-shooting powerhouse. This is seriously cool stuff. 
Read and learn how easy it is to hack and unhack your Canon 
PowerShot.

  • NEW - Digital File Naming Format

The requirements for Clinic entries are in the Trillium Handbook which is on our Website -    www.trilliumphotoclub.org

 

Use a hyphen as illustrated - note - there is no hyphen in the title

B-P-99-After the Rain

 

If your title includes a hyphenated word, do not use the hyphen

 i.e. B-N-99-Red-winged Blackbird would be B-N-99-Red winged Blackbird

 

It is essential that you use this new format.

If any other format is used, your image text will not be imported into the Clinic Spread Sheet.

 

Email your Digital entries to cbishop205@sympatico.ca

on or preferably before the due date.

I will acknowledge receiving emailed images.

If unable to email, submit on a CD at the club.

 

New members may obtain their clinic number from

Mary Gilmour - Clinic Chair

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

Looking forward to another year of friendship and photography,

 

Carolyn Bishop

Digital Clinic Coordinator

Camera makers and software companies alike seem to love to confuse people about dots per inch (dpi) and digital photos. The reality is that dpi is essentially meaningless. There's no such thing as a 72 dpi or a 300 dpi photo--at least not as long as it's stored on your computer. Dots per inch only has meaning when you are about to print, because combining the pixel resolution of the photo with a dpi setting determines the final output size. So a 3000-by-2000-pixel photo (that's 6 megapixels) will be about 10 by 7 inches when printed at 300 dpi. If you print it at 200 dpi, the resulting print would be 15 by 10 inches in size.

The moral of the story is that you shouldn't worry about dots per inch, even if a program assigns an arbitrary dpi value to a photo. On the computer, it doesn't mean anything. It's a tool for specifying print size. The only thing that matters on the computer is pixels.

For those of you who might like to share and discuss photos and club
activities online, there is now a Trillium Photo group site at Flickr.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/trilliumphoto .  Members can upload
pictures for sharing or seeking comments before submitting images to
clinics.  In the discussion section, one can talk about all kinds of
things from shooting techniques to camera gear.  Last minute outings can
also be arranged there for those of you looking for shooting company.
Right now, there is only one lonely member, but hopefully, over time,
the Trillium Flickr site will grow.  Here is an example of photo club
site that has been around for a little while now
http://www.flickr.com/groups/guelphphotoclub .
