As a partly related post to the blog post vintage digital photograhpy a more recent project of mine has involved converting an large format, plate camera lens (~1895-1910) to be used on a Canon EOS body.

Simple Image Resizing for the web

Take me straight to the tutorial!

THE PROBLEM:

As you’d expect, here at Kyan, we work with vast quantities of images on a daily basis. It can therefore be quite easy to take for granted the knowledge we have acquired as a result.

Consider this with the continually falling prices and the ever growing specification lists of digital cameras and we find ourselves with a small/large problem; clients with giant photos, both in terms of dimensions and file size, that they find difficult to upload to the web. It’s not unheard of to download an image straight from a digital camera that exceeds 10mb.

Has it turned it’s back on the community it created?

I love my Canon 350D but ...

… I just really wish it displayed the ISO on the settings display!

It’s the worst feeling in the world when you discovered you’ve just taken 10 landscape shots, at the top of the highest point in South England on a brilliantly bright and sunny day, with a low midwinter sun, a deep blue sky and just enough cloud on the horizon to balance the composition … ONLY TO DISCOVER THE BLOODY CAMERA IS SET TO ISO1600!!
