So I figured out how to make a custom boot animation for my Motorola Droid and finally got it working.

You can check it out here!

Can you iPhone users do that? lol

I'm getting the Droid-X in October. Do you have any good photography apps for it? I saw someone made a nice contract app for the Iphone and I was hoping there may be one for Droid.

I would have an app that would autofill in the date, the clients name and some of the other details and they would read the softcopy on my phone when doing a consultation with them. If they agree and want to book the session they can sign with their finger on the spot and when i save the contract it automatically emails me and cc's the client a copy via email. IT's pretty slick, no papers and easy to manage. Anything like that ring a bell for Droid?

Aside from that, please list any other cool must have apps that may be photography related or just in general so i know what to get when i get my phone.

Oh and very nice startup animation, very cool. Did you have to root your phone to do that?

Honestly... the apps for Android are behind compared to iPhone... but it is getting better. As far as I know... there really aren't that many apps that are good for mobile. I've been wanting to try and figure out how to create apps so that I could make some... but I haven't really been able to do that yet.

Here are a couple apps just doing a quick search in the Market.

Photography Assistant (Free, Beta)
Photography Calculator (2.99)

And yes, I'm rooted. Absolutely loving it too.

It's going to be interesting... Sigma keeps nipping at the heals of the big dogs. With the new 85mm due out before 2022 LOL and the release of this beast.... Sigma is doing well. They had the issues with the 50mm but... they did change the coating to the exterior of the lenses... so they look more like Canon/Nikon.

I'd like to test out the new camera.... could be fun.

Just remember that (I think) you divide a Foveon MP count by 3 to get the actual effective size so in this caes it's 16Mp which is right in the ballpark with everyone else.

I still have a gut feeling the 1DsMkIV will be the one that sets everyone on their ear when (if) it gets released.

haha... Frank already bought into the presale... Since he loves sigma and all.... (was that a secret? Yikes.... *run away Kristy, run away**)

Purchased 2... get it right!

I do like Sigma... there was a time when I would not have bought anything other than Canon... not now... if it performs to my standards...I think I have standards?.... then it's for me.

Hurry up Sigma 85mm!!!!

Anything happening today or tomorrow?

I have mono lights to play with and no models (except cats that won't sit still) so I'm looking for something to do . . .

I'm on Domestic God duty at the moment and just prepping for Saturday's Coolidge Fly In..

one more test... find some flowers...a bush outdoors.. set up a target 6ft in front of the flowers and take some test shots from F/2.8 on up and see what you think of the bokeh between the lenses.

Great capture there Jay with the crossovers!

I'd venture the points would go to the 2.8..

I'm really struggling with what my next lens purchase should be. I really would like a 24-70, 50mm 1.4 and 18-85.. And I really NEED to get a fisheye..

I've sold off most my lenses and now have.
EF-S 10-22
Tammy 17-50 (non vc)
70-200 mkii
Nifty 50...
1.4X
2.0X
I really don't know. Everything's a priority

I think this area is where the biggest dilemma is between crop and FF. I think my choices would be easier with FF..

Sigma 150mm macro with OS (IS in Canon)
NICE!

Get all the slots on the ring aligned as best you can to the seams, insert the rods, open the octa, without locking the pins, and adjust where you see the rods dont meet the grooves by moving the cloth material of the octa near the ring. Mine was kind of tricky for like 10 minutes, only used it once and I can now open and close it without having to set it on a surface or anything.

If you are having issues with the inserting the rods part, insert your first rod, then the second in the opposite position or 180 degrees.

Thanks I got it after coming home today. realized the problem was the pins werent locking and...

Also don't worry about the octa being fragile, it can handle a lot....I was being all gentle with mine thinking it'd tear if I was rough with itb

I was just being gentle with it because it does seem fragile. Thanks for your advice too.

I decided early on that someday I will have a full frame and now I do. The only EFS Lens I ever bought besides the kit lens was the 10-22 and I was able to sell that so now its only lenses that will work on both camera bodies.
