I never said I wasn’t a gear geek, I sure love lenses and cameras, and all those cool nylon bags, and accessories! \u00a0But the the new must have tool for me is the iPad 3 better known as simply the New iPad! \u00a0Why? \u00a0The screen my friend, the screen, \u00a0it now is much faster and has that incredible Retina display screen from the iPhone 4s. \u00a0Whenever you want or need to show your work to someone, their is now, no better way than with this new HD screened wonder. \u00a0I have to say, my images never looked better, and that’s a good thing!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two years ago, at about this same time, \u00a0I was headed to Sun n’ Fun Air show in Lakeland Florida, Scott Kelby met me a the show to ride around in a golf cart and shoot some early morning images. \u00a0We had a blast. \u00a0I had already decided that the iPad was just too much money for me, and something I didn’t really need, until, Scott showed me his! \u00a0I bought my first iPad at the Apple Store in Brandon, Florida that afternoon! \u00a0For the last two years it has been my constant companion and been invaluable to show illustrations to clients and friends. \u00a0Not to mention having 27 gigs of my favorite music, usually 10 or 12 feature length films for watching on airplanes, and in the hotel at night. \u00a0I can watch TV shows I’ve missed on Hulu Plus and sports on the ESPN App. \u00a0Maplets gives me instant high res maps of everywhere I go, \u00a0and Google Earth can show me my exact location! \u00a0I can surf the web for information, and my grand kids love Angry Birds! \u00a0I even carry about 50 of my favorite books and audio books along for the ride wherever I go. \u00a0A year ago I bought my wife the iPad2 but decided to wait for the chance the \u00a0newest one would have the higher resolution screen, good decision!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another great feature is that now iPhoto in a very powerful form is available for the New iPad. \u00a0Whether you download your images grom your Nikon or \u00a0iPhone, the processing power of this App is amazing, lots of fun to play with and yields pretty incredible results, and the price is very un-Photoshop like, $4.99. \u00a0 \u00a0Yep, \u00a0five bucks!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seriously, we live and work in a visual world and this is truly a tool that can serve a number of needs, it now even contains a pretty decent 5 megapixel camera and shoots 1080p \u00a0video. \u00a0I bought the 64 gig model with wifi, but not 4G, I always have a Verizon Mifi card with me anyway. \u00a0All these new tools make the practice of photography even more fun, and hey, \u00a0a little fun is never a bad thing!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
