My First Animoto Slide Show
Speaking of Animoto (read the post that follows this one), here's a slide show I created when I first heard about Animoto. This video was created in January of 2008 when Animoto was charging $3.00 per video, or $30.00 a year for unlimited videos. Now they're charging $249.00 a year, which is a pretty darn steep increase! My first post about Animoto can be found here.

Lightroom 3 Learning Center
Most of you have probably heard that Adobe has released a beta version of Lightroom 3. They have also made this beta available to the general public, for free, until April 30, 2010, which is when the beta expires. There are a bunch of mouth-watering features, including new algorithms that allow for more accurate and sophisticated editing of images. You can download the new beta here. For some great video tutorials, check out NAPP's Lightroom 3 Learning Center and Adobe's own video tutorials.

Orangutan Photographer A Hit Facebook
PHOTOS TAKEN BY AN ORANGUTAN PROVE A FACEBOOK SENSATION
Daily Mail
December 3, 2009

A 33-year-old photographer has become an online sensation with pictures of her daily life at a Vienna zoo enthralling thousands of fans.
But Nonja is no ordinary snapper -- she is an orangutan.
Her pictures have won over more than 8,500 fans on Facebook since the zoo launched an online photo album of her work on Tuesday.
She is proving so popular that hundreds more fans are becoming her online 'friends' each hour.
However, the blurry images of Nonja's climbing rope and food and her companion's shaggy red-brown fur have won lots of admiring comments from fans, the photographer herself appears not so interested.
Using a specially-adapted Samsung ST 1000 digital camera, Nonja is rewarded with a raisin that drops out of the equipment each time she takes a snap.
The Vienna Tiergarten zoo set up the project to help keep Nonja and her three hairy ape friends entertained in their enclosure.
'Of course the apes don't care about the pictures, they are just an accidental side product,' zoo spokesman Gerhard Kasbauer said.
'They just know that when they press the button, a raisin pops out.'
The popularity of Nonja's online album means she is now on her way to becoming a fully-fledged orangutan icon.
Her photos can be seen on her Facebook page here.
