Lensbaby announces Composer Pro

If you’re a photographer, you’ve no doubt heard of Lensbaby. They make awesome lenses like no other company. Today, they announced the Composer Pro. It’s a lens that combines the tilt/swivel action that allows for tilt shift photography with the selective focus mechanism that Lensbaby is known for. But more than that, the Composer Pro is said to have a silky smooth swivel ball making it easier than ever for you to find the sweet spot.

iPhone Appidemic: iExposure

Appletell reviews Joby’s Gorillapod Focus

Joby has a Gorillapod model for every size and weight of camera, from point and shoot to cell phones to DSLRs.

Appletell Review – Comic Touch for iPhone/iPod touch

I must say that Comic Touch is a very unique application for the iPhone/iPod touch, and does a very good job at editing and adding comical effects to pictures directly on the iPhone or iPod touch. Comic Touch is a mixture of plasq’s two other apps for Mac OS X—Skitch and Comic Life—as it allows users to edit images with a variety of different effects, including Bulge, Dent, Squeeze, Stretch, and Light. It also offers the ability to add speech bubbles and captions to a photo to give it the feel of a comic.
