What's Chimping?

Category None

Where does the name Chimper come from?

Here is the Wikipedia article on it. Basically, it's a term used for looking at the screen on the digital camera and making noises. What you don't want is Tourettes Chimping!

Schools Photography groups

Category None

In the UK there are two groups who represent or discuss schools photography

SchoolPhotoPro is an informal group with a very active forum. They have their second meeting the Tuesday of Focus - which I'll be speaking at. It is really for smal independant photographers. A second, more formal group - SPPA is part of the PMA group - and has a meeting every year in the states - which I have spoken at before - and is a superb 3 day meeting - usually in Las Vegas. Every two years they have a meeting in the UK - which will probably be in July - which I've spoken at for the past three.... You'll find the big boys are all there too.

GPS - for S5 and Nikons

Category None

The S5 can accept GPS data. There are a number of ways of connecting the camera.

The most simple is to buy a GPS unit designed for the purpose - there are a few - the one I use is Dawn Tech N2. This will cost you around £200 - don't forget that you'll have to pay duty, VAT & Fedex admin fees!

You can also buy a Nikon MC-35 cable from Nikon - which lets you connect any RS232 cable. The third option is to get a Bluetooth adapter. There are a few comming onto the market. I bought mine from Foolography.

The very newest GPS units can also have a digital compass - so you can even tell which direction the camera is pointing!
