Piccure Camera Shake pluggin

This is simply an interesting tool I thought I should make you aware of. Camera Shake technology is moving right along and Piccure is a pluggin that might just help an image that is not tack sharp. Nothing can replace taking an image sharp right from the get go, nor does Piccure fix every image, but it does work with some. They are in fact pretty up front about what it does and doesn’t work on and that impressed me. I ran it on a couple of images, one you see right here. In this example, it worked pretty well. You can see how the nose of the Shrike, my lovely bride and good friend Casey are definitely sharpened. Below you can see the results and when you look at the magnification, it’s impressive.

The Before and the After

The Before and the After

Now like I said, it doesn’t work on everything and I had such a result. I contacted the folks at Piccure and they returned my email with answers ASAP and were very up front and helpful. Hat’s off to them for that. One issue with the technology, which I have no doubt will solve itself in time which is why I’m telling you about this, is it works best with the sRGB color space. My issue was the complexity of the ProPhoto RGB image I was trying it on. You can DOWNLOAD is for a full, FREE 14day trial for Photoshop and/or Lightroom. You got an image that is soft that really means a lot to you that you want sharp? You might just give this a try.

P7800 & WU-1a

Nov 25, 2013 | Field Reports

WU-1a

The more and more I use and play with the Coolpix P7800, the more I really like it! The image quality for such a simple capture device is simply amazing. And it’s so much fun to shoot with, I went and got WU-1A Wireless unit. It’s a small unit, I mean small and it runs off the batter of the P7800 so it’s not got a huge range. But when using with the Nikon WMU App, you can remotely fire and if you wish, upload images to your smart device.
WMUappNeither the WU-1A nor the app are meant to be or are as sophisticated as say the Cam Ranger for the D4, nor are they the same price. How could you make great use of this simple technology? You could place it as a remote on a bird feeder to get them use to a camera while at the same time spying on who is coming in. You could set up the P7800 behind you and take BTS, project in progress photos. You could even place it in the cockpit of a plane and do remote pilot photos. And if you’ve never done remote work before, here’s a great, simple way to start.
WU-1aCUSet up of the app is no more than making sure the WU-1a is active, turn on your wireless (I’m using the iPhone 5) on your smart device and select the WU-1a network and than tap the app. You will see right through the lens on your smart device and there is a button to fire the camera. It’s really just that simple and fun.
