Tip: Itunes photo sync problem

I have recently bought a new laptop. Transferring files from old to new was easy enough, but I did discover a problem. When I wanted to sync photos from my new computer to my Ipod, nothing got transferred. Luckily I found out how to resolve the issue. When you sync photos from your library to your Ipod / Iphone Itunes creates a folder called "Ipod Photo Cache" Itunes uses this folder when syncing with devices. Within the folders of photos I transferred from my old computer were a Cache folder. What I guess happened is that Itunes tried to make a new folder, but since the folder already excised it failed. Why it could not simply use the old folder I don't understand. The solution is to delete the old folder. When you then sync your Ipod you'll see that a new "Ipod Photo Cache" folder is created

Bird watching, day two

Did some bird watching today as well, for two hours. I made a record of how many times I saw each type of bird. The most common bird type at the feeder was definitely the Blue Tit, I saw it 16 times. Other then that I saw Great Tit 2 times and once a type I have not seen before in my garden

Bird watching, day one

I placed a bird feeder in my garden about a week ago, and it seems it has been a bit of a hit with the local bird community. Every morning, when I have looked out my window, there has literary been a queue. I figured it would be fun to photograph and identify the different types of bird that come to the feeder. Today I have therefore been sitting very still with my camera in a door opening, and I've borrowed a handbook to identify them. So far I have seen two different types:

Blue Tit

Great Tit

Android App - A world of photos

After reading a few good reviews about an Android application called “A world of photos”, I went to the Android Market and downloaded it. The basic idea is that you spin your phone, like spin the bottle, and then you ask someone in that direction who also has the app installed to take a photo. I installed the app and started getting requests from all over the globe to take photos. I was fun for about 5 minutes, but then I started getting requests from people with usernames like ShowMeYours and NakedPhotosOK – and I thought to myself, maybe not the sort of service I want get involved with. The biggest problem for me regarding this app were that even though I had turned background data off I would still get requests to take photos, not much fun in the middle of the night. On top of that it is not possible to turn off the warning sound within the application. I could of course turn the sound of my phone, but then what is going to wake me up the morning? So last night at 3 am I uninstalled A world of photos

Remembering

I am not going to be able to go to the next LCP meeting, but I have done the work on the subject that was selected – Remembering

A memory fades with time. Maybe one day all I can remember from that day is that it was autumn and the leaves were yellow

Camera Zoom Fx

I must have downloaded and installed about 100 apps for controlling the camera on my G1. The installations always ended in disappointment and uninstallation. Then I read about an app called Camera Zoom Fx, several sites gave it great reviews. I decided to take the plunge and pay the £1.25 that the makers wanted for it. Have to say I did the right thing. In the beginning it is a little overwhelming with all the options and add on’s. When I got the hang of it I discovered just what I could get out of the G1 camera. There is also a growing community of users sharing their photos taken using the App. I am a happy customer

Obesession

Every time at the photo club I am attending (LCP) we get a challenge to take photos following a certain theme. This time the theme was obsession. After a bit of head scratching and frames taken I came to the conclusion that the best way to portray obsession was a portrait. A portrait showing the feeling of obsession. Since I am a bit short of staff, figure of speech, I was both photographer and model in this shot

Speakers Corner

Last Sunday I walked around in Hyde Park in London with a group of people. At the end of the walk we ended up at Speakers Corner. On that Sunday it seemed the post popular topic was religion, except the guy from the Communist Party who was talking about control of oil and electricity. Not just the speaker shared their opinion but also people in the crowd. There where loud discussions everywhere, but everyone where smiling and respecting one another.

FxCamera

I love downloading and trying out new applications on my Android phone. One I have been playing around with lately is FxCamera. In FxCamera you can shoot photos in 5 different modes, Toycam, Polandroid, Fisheye, Symmetri, Warhol and normal. The controls are easy enough to use and the different modes have settings you can configure. I think it is a fun application to play around with plus it is free to download.

Here are some examples of photos I have taken using FxCamera, using the default settings in the mode
