I just wanted to inform interesting solution that Snake River Prototyping is offering. Their solution is small metal that will replace the original holder of the lens from GoPro housing. This solution makes possible to attach basically any 55mm filter in front of the lens. In most cases this is not so important but as underwater you easily lose your reds without external light. Some of these filters makes possible to boost up those reds and got nice video even without lights. Sadly this is only for single cameras, not for 3D housing. I have one that I need to test, but currently waiting for better waters…

I finally got time to test new Nokia Ovi album embedding and I think it’s quite nice feature for showing pictures to your friends. As a photographer and programmer I could not start thinking of where this live is going. More and more mobile phones include GPS receiver and coordinates are saved into pictures automatically. There are these feature in SLR also but at least I haven’t seen’t any decent way to do it, well I have used only Canon and Nikon SLR so there probably is already some models in market.

Anyway there are currently four ways to show pictures from OVI in own site. But the most coolest thing in here is wherever I go in this world I can always add pictures to these galleries from mobile phone and after adding the picture in one of these albums it will show those pictures in this blog. There are usually some problems also, like you see in here, background is white and my blog background is black, it just don’t look so nice.

First is this Horizantally Moving pictures. In this album there is some pictures from Egypt that I took with mobile phone.

It’s very nice for example bottom of the page, little similar to Adobe Lightroom filmstrip.

Second way is to show your pictures traditionally as Photo grid. One interesting thing in here is that I also added video for that and it really works. Here are some pictures from event here in Finland, it was located in Kaarina city and called "700 Rock".

Third ways is just Slideshow, which is also very traditional way. Here are some misc pictures from finland.

But I think the last ways as FishBowl is the most coolest way to show your pics. These pictures are taken from Thailand.
