Notes on Podcast and Overdrive on the iPad

The March 16 iPad Club featured Ron Clark talking about Podcast on the iPad. The notes for podcasts and additional information on setting up Overdrive are at the link below. Overdrive is an app that gets you to the CLAMS catalogue of eBooks and Audio books so you can read or listen right on your iPad to materials borrowed from our library.

Taking a Video on the iPhone 6 of slow falling snow using the slo mo setting.

I think the Slo mo setting on the iPhone 6 video camera worked well. You have to watch this long video, relax into it, and you will see the occasional snow flakes come drifting down like a mediation.

This winter has provided lots of opportunity to find new ways of shooting photos of snow. I could never get falling snow to be visible in any of my still photos, no matter what the settings or edits. Using the slo mo video setting has had the best results so far.
