VPI

Getting my first experience of the iPad on Sprint 4G. So much better than 3G.

I am on the shuttle bus on my way to the Hotel. Airport was a breeze if you ignore the panhandlers. Sprint 4G is great.

I will get some on the airplane.

I am waiting for the work emergency to spring up as they always do before I try to take time off. Have to get packed tonight and decide what, if any, big gear I will be bringing. A Macbook Pro, Pico Dac and a Slim is a rig, correct?

I will try that. I imported about 1300 images from a CF card last night and it pretty much just died. I also made the mistake of saying I wanted it to open whenever images are attached the to the computer like iPhoto always does. Now every time I connect the iPad or plug in a CD card I immediately have to got through the start up process and tell it I am not ready to buy.

Yeah, I think I am going to have to buy the full version of Photoshop CS5 to replace my old CS software. I have been trying to use Aperture but for some reason it is very slow on my iMac and very annoying to use.

Last Day at the track. Found a place I liked to shoot from and basically just stayed there all day. Album. Rolex Grand Am Cup pictures by VPIVinylspinner - Photobucket

Fantastic pics Jacob.

I cannot make the text blurry at any zoom. The only time I have seen blurry text was on the Zinio app when zooming. That was fixed on an update.

Some from the Veteran's Car Show today.

Thanks guys. Tom, the big race is on Monday, you should drive on up.

Great Day at the track. The album is on photobucket at Grand Am Cup Saturday Races pictures by VPIVinylspinner - Photobucket One for JP And one for Brent

i am taking my Gitzo CF Tripod. Kind of a pain but very light.

I have all my gear packed up for this weekends races. Looks like I will have about 10 races to shoot plus the car show so I am hoping to come home with 2k+ photos for the weekend. I assume .1% of those will be worthwhile so I will have enough post a couple here.

Head-Case Chat for the iPhone and iPad

In case anyone missed it you can use the new mobile chat with the iPad if you tell the browser to emulate Mobile Safari. Seems to work pretty well and much easier than iTeleport.

Looks like it only works with Safari Mobile so I am able to get on by using Atomic Web and telling it to emulate Safari Mobile.

Just installed the new B&N eBooks app means I can buy books from all three sources on the iPad. Maybe that will start a price war.

Yeah I have no joy on the iPad with Chat. Just tells me I need Java.

We wish the same Dan. We'll take lots of pics and video the best stuff for you.

Yeah, I am using the 30 day trial of Aperture now. I know I can get a thirty day trial of CS5 so I assume I can get Lightroom as well and will try it out. Coming from Photoshop CS, Aperture seems kind of strange but I very much like the controls.

I prefer the follow-up picture as well. I am going to have to start sending all my first attempts to Knuckles for advice. What do you think about Lightroom? I have let my Photoshop software get out of date, CS, and now I would have to pay full price to get the new version so I am going to decide between Lightroom and Aperture.

Yumm. Did you get the Proveleta?

Thanks Gene. That is actually the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse which is going to eventually become a giant arts location to celebrate the history of artists in this part of JC.
