My friend Uwe Steinmueller, an excellent fine art photographer who runs OutbackPhoto.com, just called to tell me about something he’s very excited about. He called himself a “happy camper” and said he’s “relieved” that he’s discovered an acceptable method for using point-and-shoot cameras. Uwe is very much a detail-oriented photographer. He’s an expert on the subtleties of RAW processing and technical landscape photography. If you know him and his photography, you probably think of him behind a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III on a tripod, not with a tiny point-and-shoot camera in his hands. In the past, he’s told me that point-and-shoot cameras don’t allow him to shoot the way he likes.

Polaroid film may be going the way of the dinosaur, but its iconic look is here to stay, thanks to a free, fun software download called “Poladroid.”

Available for Mac and PC, the beta version of Poladroid is a quick download from http://www.poladroid.net. Once installed and opened, the application pops open a graphic version of the swingin’ 1970s instant film camera. Drag and drop images from your photo management program onto the “camera” or import them by selecting Convert JPEG File from the file menu.

Recreate that '70s road trip you never took with Poladroid.

Do you want to share with and learn from other photographers? Online communities like PhotographyREVIEW.com are a great place to share your photos and learn from other people. But there’s no replacement for actually taking pictures alongside other photographers so you can see what they do and compare photos. Plus, it’s fun to meet new people! PhotographyREVIEW.com has had a bunch of Gatherings and everyone always learns a lot and has a great time. There are a growing number of local photowalk groups and blogs around the world.
