Posted on 30. Apr, 2010 by Terry Reinert.
There has been a lot of noise lately about the war going on between Apple and Adobe regarding Adobe’s Flash platform and Apple’s mobile devices. It’s been a very interesting fight but quite annoying to many people. If you want to get some good insight into this battle, check out these resources…. Read Steve Jobs’ [...]

Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by Terry Reinert.
This review has been a long time in the making and I am excited to finally getting it online. It hasn’t really been a secret that I’ve been testing some of FOBA’s newest tripod heads. This is especially true for those that have been on a photo walk with me or ran into me at [...]

Dell 22″ Widescreen LCD Review
Posted on 25. Sep, 2009 by Terry Reinert.
For many years now I have been using dual monitors for my workstations both at work and at home. I have come to rely on having two monitors and really hate to work on a computer with only a single monitor. This was before widescreen LCD’s of course. I recently received a Dell S2209W LCD [...]

Canon DSLR Custom Functions for HDR!
Posted on 03. Sep, 2009 by Terry Reinert.
When I was in Tampa shooting with all my friends (I’ll be posting about the trip soon) I happened to be the only one there with a Canon D-SLR. Everyone else was sporting a fancy little point-n-shoot camera. Just kidding… they each had a Nikon D-SLR of some sort. We got to talking about shooting [...]

Posted on 19. Jun, 2009 by Terry Reinert.
A few weeks ago I was hanging out with Vanelli and Jeff King talking about camera gear.

True Speed of your Memory Card
Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Terry Reinert.
One of the big selling points of Compact Flash cards, or any memory cards for digital cameras, is transfer speeds. Since I named my blog “Where Art & Engineering Collide” I figured I better add a little more “engineering” to the blog. Don’t worry… I will go easy on you! For a quick baseline I [...]

Shooting Tethered From Afar!
Posted on 01. Nov, 2008 by Terry Reinert.
One thing that has always driven me nuts about shooting tethered is how close to the camera I have to stay due to the length of my tether cord. The standard USB tether cord that comes with almost all Canon SLR camera systems (excluding the high end ones that come with firewire) is only 4 [...]

iPod Touch for Photographers
Posted on 23. Jul, 2008 by Terry Reinert.
I may not ride the forefront of technology but I do like to think of myself as at least knowledgable as to what kind of technology is out there ready to make me even more broke. One such technology that I have been watching closely is the Apple iPhone. Yeah, I know… who isn’t?

USB Thumbdrive Cleaning
Posted on 18. May, 2008 by Terry Reinert.
With the various network technologies available to transfer files from computer to computer I hardly use my USB thumb drives anymore. So it is no surprise that I lost my Kingston drive and didn’t realize it until I found it. The interesting thing is that I found it in the pocket of a pair of [...]
