I don’t know how well this would perform, but I love the retro front design of the new Polaroid Z2300 instant digital camera. It has a 10 megapixel sensor and can produce 2 x 3-inch prints using ink-less Zink technology. More »
There must be a better way to take pictures of yourself without having to painstakingly set up the timer and running all the way to join the others who are already posing for the picture. It’s pretty clear who’s in charge of setting up the timer by just looking at the photo: just pick out the guy or girl with the haphazard hair and frazzled expression.
There are triggers and remotes for this kind of thing, of course. But if you can’t be bothered with that and don’t mind clapping to show the world you’re happy (and that you’re eager for a picture), then you can get the Snap Clap app for iOS devices instead.
It’s basically a simplistic trigger app that snaps a picture – every time you clap your hands.Now you’d probably have to worry about you clapping your hands in the photos, but that’s better than looking all haggard and unkempt, right?
The cool thing is that the app also has some post-processing tools up its sleeve, such as filters that you can apply to change the look and feel of your photos. Snap Clap can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for $0.99 (USD).

Adobe’s primary tool for tweaking and organizing photos was always destined to be part of the Creative Cloud offering, but for whatever reason it didn’t make it in time for launch. As of today though, Lightroom 4 is available to download on PC or 64-bit Mac (or both, since you’re allowed multiple installations) as part of a CS6 monthly license. The additional title may not be enough to sway cloud doubters, but even they can’t dispute that the subscription approach now delivers more software than the full-on $2599 shrink-wrapped Master Collection.
Lightroom 4 finally floats into Adobe’s Creative Cloud originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 26 Jun 2012 03:46:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

I take movies and pictures of everything. I love the idea of preserving memories of our family vacations and events. I always enjoy watching them myself, but my hope is they will bring back wonderful memories for my daughter someday. I never thought to record the actual journey. I can think of a few that would have been really nice to have on tape.

The US sprinters Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh are equally fast. How do we know? Well, yesterday, during the women’s 100 meter Olympics qualifier, they both finished the sprint in 11.068 seconds—and not even a camera running at 3,000 frames per second could tell their performance apart. More »
File this one under Straight Out of Our Sci-Fi Dreams. When you shine a light on a photo from different angles, nothing happens to the image. But what if the shadows on it could change as if it were a real, three-dimensional object? That day is closer than you think. More »
