TriggerTrap : More Control for Iphone Users

Triggertrap has announced the first-ever light-sensitive trigger for the iPhone’s camera and is now ready for consumers to download. A mobile app that converts your iPhone into a highly-configurable remote release for your camera. Triggertrap Mobile is an innovating app that focuses on iPhones, iPods and iPads to perform different triggering modes. It works in concert with two hardware components, a Mobile Dongle that connects to the phone plus a suitable camera cable, to offer a wide range of methods to release the shutter. These include timelapse, distance lapse (based upon the phone's GPS), face recognition, and sound, motion, and shock detectors. It can also control High Dynamic Range bracketing up to 19 exposures.

Many of the standard triggering modes can simply be performed on your camera built in phones(only Apple Products). Don’t worry! They’re currently working on an Android version, so photo enthusiast can calmly wait for it’s arrival. Launching different triggering modes that includes, timelapse, distance lapse, motion detection, sound, vibrations,HDR and much more.

From there, Triggertrap boasts 12 different trigger modes, including time-lapse, eased time-lapse, distance-lapse, magnet-triggered, motion-triggered, shock-triggered, and sound-triggered. The app also features facial recognition and HDR modes. And that’s not all. Triggertrap also sports basic features like timed exposure mode (up to 60 minutes), bulb mode, and timed bulb mode.

A free version of the app, with three of the full app's features, is also available.

waiting

I was never a fan of waiting. I hate the feeling of waiting. The agony of waiting and not knowing what the outcome is. Unfortunately for me, this is the stage where I am at now.

A week ago I made a daring move to try and venture out and try other opportunities outside my comfort zone.  I submitted my application to one of the big companies here in our town. I made the initial interview, passed the exam, but not pretty sure how well I did in the panel interview. There were two interviewees that time, I got word that one interviewee said I did OK, but not that impressive with the other one. So I guess that leaves me in limbo with no clear closing as to how I did with my panel interview. So now, there’s pretty much nothing I can do. I can follow up my application with the company, but knowing that it has only been a week, I guess it’s too early to do so. 

I need to keep myself preoccupied or at least get my thoughts of my application. Still, I hate this feeling. Hopefully, I would get word from the company anytime soon. With a little luck and the much needed blessings from above, I hope I hear good news.

120 megapixel sensor by Canon

A new 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor has been developed by Canon. The new 120 megapixel 29.2 x 20.2mm APS-H CMOS sensor is the same size used in its EOS 1D series of professional DSLRs. Canon says that the sensor is the highest resolution in the world for its size. The sensor covers 120 million pixels compared to similarly sized sensors that cover only 16.1 million pixels. The sensor, for which Canon has announced no production plans, has a pixel count nearly 7.5 times larger than the company's highest pixel count commercially available sensor. It offers full HD recording (using 1/60th of its surface area) and can deliver 9.5fps continuous shooting. This follows a 50 million pixel sensor of similar format the company developed in 2007. The new CMOS sensor is also capable of 9.5 frames per second for continuous shooting of very high-resolution images. The sensor also has full HD video output capability from any 1/60 sized area of its total surface. The new sensor measures about 29.2 x 20.2 mm. Canon is offering no details on when the new sensor might find its way into DSLR cameras that we can buy.
