Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They flee by like nocturnal shadows.
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them,
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!

Canon S90 Caveats: hot pixels and firmware issues

Posted by polarapfel on Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:48

Canon’s PowerShot S90 is a great little camera. However, my copy seems to suffer from a particular nasty “hot pixel” which even shows up at ISO 80. Another rather weird firmware bug I’ve encountered can even render the camera temporarily useless as the camera refuses to read memory cards from its slot.

Geotagging images in Aperture 3 with Places

Posted by polarapfel on Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:48

Using Aperture’s Places to geotag my images has been a much desired feature on my Aperture feature wish-list when I still used the old version. It turns out that using Places is not as straight forward as I expected it to be. Manually dragging pictures to the map works perfectly fine, but when adding GPS tracks and automating the process of placing the images, it’s hard to get an accurate result.
