From bergdesign:
SuperCal™ is a visual display calibrator capable of measuring and correcting most conventional displays, including LCDs, CRTs and projectors. SuperCal doesn’t require any hardware measurement devices – only your eyeballs – yet it can be much more accurate, based on how well you pay attention to what you’re doing.
Highly usable software calibration app that gets a long due (Universal) alpha update. If you are serious about your display (no excuse for photographers), this one’s a must-have.

| Beware of App Store Scams ★ | iphoneography.com |
The latest entree to the app store gold-mining scam, first reported by iPhoneography.com:
This app doesn’t make sense… It’s new and looks kinda cool BUT, you have to buy the “film” and you only get to take 36 pics before you have to buy it again.
I gotta hand it to this guy, I wish he could use their creativity into making something more honest & useful.

One of Aperture’s strongest feature is its output/presentation. I’ve been using both the slideshow creation & photobook design capacity extensively since Aperture 1.0, and Apple has done a wonderful job of not only improving the speed, feature-set and usability, but also introducing newer, leaner, (literally) bigger & better templates.
Meet PhotoBookGirl.com. The site reviews Aperture 3 from a book designer’s point of view, and physically reviews the printed result of their underwater book made on it. (Love the signature Apple booksleeve that comes with the book.)
It also features a smart Photo Book Wizard for comparing a bunch of online book suppliers.

Clever use of motion graphic and typography by Jean-Sebastien Monzani. I recommend you to start with Unspoken and make your way to whatever you feel like and end with Your Secret.

That’s a picture of Earth taken with a CHDK hacked PowerShot home-strapped to a Weather Balloon (aka. Pacific Star) at an altitude of 125,000 feet above sea level. A 2 minute video documenting the process is available here.

| The Lost Holga ★ | saikatbiswas.com |

Saikat Biswas on his Holga D Concept:
The original Holga camera has so few functions that you don’t get distracted by the technicalities. The Holga D camera is also based on the same principal. Even though it has more functions and controls compared to the analog Holga but it is designed in such a way that it discourages fiddling around with camera-settings and and encourages you to just shoot without thinking much.
What makes the Holga great is its unpredictability, the way how the lack of feature stood up and let us be present with our subject, leaving all the worries and doubts that shield us from seeing the truth and let us just create on pure curiosity and vision driven actions, and Saikat’s design is based on that fact, but he didn’t just stop at great look, he brings accessibility to it by a reversible top panel for left-hand users.
Now that is good design.
