The cloud has opened up a world of image collection possibilities for both professional and casual photographers, making it simple and inexpensive to store and work with photographs online. PHOTOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING explores the pros and cons of storing, organizing, editing, and sharing images with the cloud so that you can make an informed decision about cloud platforms, costs, access, and security. The book takes you step-by-step through the cloud's hardware and software infrastructure, including its components and cloud terminology, showing you how to manage a large photography collection online from any computer or mobile device. The various available cloud platforms are explored and evaluated, including Dropbox, Adobe Revel, Photo Stream in iCloud, Mozy, Amazon Cloud Drive, and more. Special attention is paid to identifying how the platforms handle Raw, TIF, and JPEG photos for optimal access and security, including the maintenance of resolution throughout the uploading, editing, and saving process. PHOTOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING will help you tailor the cloud to your specific needs as a photographer and will have you up and running and maximizing this expansive tool in no time.
As a freelance writer Matthew Bamberg is currently working on articles for "Photography Monthly" and "Shutterbug." He also has photographed and written for the "Desert Sun," "Palm Springs Life" and the "Riverside Press-Enterprise."
Curious by light striking his lens (direct and bold or soft and willowy) and the sounds (especially of the shutter opening and closing), he struck a relationship first with film and then, like so many, with the digital camera's sensor.
Bamberg also has sold his photographs in many Southern California stores and galleries. His books, "Digital Art Photography for Dummies" and three books in the "Quick and Easy Secrets" photography book series describes the process from taking the picture to printing and framing it.
In his book, "New Image Frontiers--Defining the Future of Photography," Bamberg interviewed top world engineers, photographers and gallery owners seeking to find answers to sensor research, new camera models (including the new mirrorless line manufactured by a number of companies), and sought an answer the proverbial question: "How does a photographer get his work into a gallery?"
Currently, two new state-of-the-art books--Beginning HDR Photography and Photography Applications to Cloud Computing have been released by Thomson Learning.
Aside from his writing about f-stops, shutter speeds, and the fabulous job the digital camera manufacturers have done that permit photographers to take almost noiseless pictures in the dark at high ISO speeds, Matt teaches photography at UCR and writing at the the University of Phoenix.
