Portable Photo Studio
June 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment
The Portable Photo Studio allows you to capture more professional looking pictures that will be sharper and lit correctly. The photo studio measures 16 inches cubed and is lit externally by a couple of spot lights. The light-box allows you to place products inside and photograph them with correct lighting.
Pros use lightboxes to give their product shots a nice white background, diffusing lighting and reducing the harsh shadows that make your product shots amateurish and cheap. We’ve also included two super-bright halogen lights to further light the scene.

June 10, 2009 by Leave a Comment
A leaked WebOS root image was found last night on the web and thanks to this a few homebrewers have been hard at working breaking in to WebOS. The code which can be executed (thanks to the Sprint Nascar application) simply says “Hello World” on the screen which is a common message when homebrewing.
As well as fiddling with running new applications on the Pre the homebrewers also are trying to mess around with the image of the firmware by doing things such as disabling the shutter sound on the camera when the phone is in silent mode. [Read more…]
