Prosoft Picture Rescue 2 – Review
There are many ways to lose your digital photos. The easiest way is to format your camera’s memory card, which erases everything and makes room for new images. You can also lose files when something goes awry while transferring file from your camera to your computer. Sooner or later, many of us discover that we want some of those erased photos back. That’s when you should reach for Picture Rescue 2, a utility that scans your SD card and reconstructs any files that haven’t been overwritten by new files.

PhotoProX iPhone 5/5S case with lenses – Review
The PhotoProX is a rugged, waterproof case for the iPhone 5 and 5S that accommodates four included lenses. The case is designed for the outdoors and is built to withstand serious abuse it can even be used for underwater photography. Your iPhone fits into a plastic sled which, in turn, slides into the clear plastic case. The top door, where the phone slides in, has a tight-fitting gasket and a strong latch. There is also a bottom door that permits access to the 3.5mm audio jack, the Lightning charging port, and the phones mic and speaker. This little door snaps shut with effort and is very difficult to open due to the necessary waterproofing gasket.

The SpiderPro Single Camera System – Review
Nothing says tourist louder than a guy with a camera hanging around his neck. This is one of the reasons why I have tried to avoid the camera neck strap for the past 40 years. A camera suspended from your neck is always in the way when not actively engaged in photography. A strap dangling from a camera in use is an impediment to the photographic process. Not to mention the resultant neck strain and pain. The SpiderPro Camera Holster aims to eliminate those problems by placing the camera where it belongs, on your hip close at hand and ready for action.

This monthly fee is beyond the reach of many small businesses, semi-pro photographers, and home users. As a result, a flock of new photo editing applications are rapidly being released. The quality and features of these new downloadable competitors range from inexpensive one-trick ponies to comprehensive full-featured editors.

For those times, I make use of Photoshop Elements for Mac.

Custom SLR photography accessories – Review
I recently had the chance to use a few items from Custom SLR for photographers. This review is a compilation of my findings. One thing I want to mention up front: Custom SLR is very proud of their logo and it appears everywhere on their accessories in subtle ways. That is a very nice touch, even if it does not add functionality to the accessories themselves.
