Fotobug - Episode 104 - Closeups and Macro

In the news, GoPro may be going public. The CEO of GoPro has filed for a potential IPO.  The National Park Service has banned UAVs (drones) at Yosemite National Park. Fourandsix Technologies, Inc. has launched www.izitru.com (pronounced 'is it true') a new, free service and companion iPhone app that can determine whether or not an image has been processed. Would you like to do long night exposures, or possible light paintings on your iPhone? While the latest generation of smartphones can in many ways rival traditional compact cameras, the lack of true long exposure functionality on most phones is a limitation. However, now there's an app for IOS.  For more news, check out the podcast.

Jim and Fred are also conducting the Critter Closeup Workshop on June 7th in St. Petersburg, FL.  As an intro, they present some equipment that can be useful for closeup and macro photography including lenses, adapters, and lighting equipment.  There is still time to sign up for the workshop at www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com. Also, Jim and Charlie MacPherson will be doing a wildlife workshop in Pennsylvania at the end of June.  For information go to www.theamazingimage.com.
