![Deals: Get This Stunning Photo Effects Mini-Bundle For 83% Off [Save $180]](http://cultofmac.cultofmaccom.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/rallycar_inapp-640x400.png)
So, you’re the next Ansel Adams, eh? Well, dear reader, then we have a beauty of a deal for you this week. Say hello to the Mac Photo Effects Mini-Bundle!
This bundle is a pretty special one, so we’ll break this down easy for you. You get three cutting-edge Mac Photography Apps for less than the price of just one:
Through the lens of Guy Aroch.
The folks over at Hipstamatic sent either the best or the worst email subject line, ever.
It announced “We Heart Boobies GoodPak,” presumably touting a limited-edition lens of the photo app for October. (Spam filters everywhere are convinced it’s an advert for a new porn toy. But of course we opened it anyway.)
I stumbled across this photo and it’s been bothering me ever since.
The cover for a Romanian magazine for a special issue dedicated to family portraits, it’s not exactly the Euro-style nudity that bugs me. Maybe it’s the hand positions. Or the soggy-looking diaper. Or something about the fetal position of the cat on naked mom?
Anyway, it needs a caption. Something funny. Better clean. Have at it!

However, we do want to make sure our readers have access to all the best tools to fullfil their directoral dreams, so if you’re one of those with the burning desire to create the next viral video shot entirely on your iPhone 4, but lack all the tools to get said video made, here’s your chance to unleash your hidden cinematographic potential by winning a Mobile Cinematography Kit from Cult of Mac and FiLMiC Pro. Entering the contest is ridiculously simple. Here’s how to give yourself the chance to win the $400 Grand Prize Package:
Adobe wants to help iPhone photographers improve their pics.
The company, which recently released Photoshop Elements 9 on the Mac App store, is sponsoring a series of events called Photoshop & You in San Francisco until Aug. 6.
On Friday, July 29, you can first learn more about the mobile camera that made those point-and-shoots practically obsolete, then head out into the streets of San Francisco with the experts to shoot.
Dan Marcolina, who wrote a well-received book on iPhone photography called iPhone Obsessed and Knox Bronson, founder of P1xels, hub of the iPhoneography movement, will be talking on “Phone Art: The Exploding Digital Inevitable in Technology, Technique, and Culture.”
The pair will discuss with participants the global community of photographers united by these handy devices and some of the more interesting issues around the evolution of the medium and working with apps.
Afterwards, you can take part in a mobile photo walk (caveat: no regular cameras allowed) with Marcolina and Bronson through iconic Union Square.
Events are free but space is limited, you can sign up here.
Now that the iPhone has sent the the common point-and-shoot camera the way of Kodachrome, there’s no excuse for bad pics.
Designer and photographer Dan Marcolina wrote a well-received book on iPhone Photography called iPhone Obsessed. Now he’s got an iPad app companion to the book, which teaches even more tips and tricks.
![Steve Jobs and Bill Gates Chopping It Up [Vintage Photo]](http://cultofmac.cultofmaccom.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/jobs-gates.jpg)
One look at this vintage pic of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates from the early days of each man’s career says a whole lot about the ultimate trajectories of both their businesses and their customers, dont’cha think?
The original provenance of the photo is unknown, though it clearly predates the historic conversation the two tech titans had at the All Things D conference in 2007.
From the looks of it, we’ll hazard a guess here it’s from a visit Gates made to Jobs’ California home back when the battle between Microsoft and Apple was more of a fair fight. What do you think?
Apple didn’t announce a new iPhone with a beefed up camera on Monday, but they did inform us that they are making some big improvements to their camera app. With the ability to take pictures from the lockscreen, volume shutter buttons, basic photo editing and much more, Apple’s done a great job of making sure the iPhone will continue to be one of the most popular cameras on the web. Here is our run down of the new features in iOS 5’s camera app.
Apple has released two new updates today that improve support for processing raw image files from recently released digital cameras and provide enhancements and bug fixes for Apple’s audio/video production tools for professionals.
