… as Mark Twain put it, been greatly exaggerated. Well to be more accurate it was this website that was reported dead, but it isn’t, it’s here and I still pay the hosting bills, but it isn’t being updated.
At the moment my life is well…. Not so free as it once was. Some good reasons, some bad.
Photography has taken a back seat though, and as I no longer take many pictures, and never make pictures, I’m not updating this site as there is nothing to say.

Oops, I see I failed to increment the number on the header of the script before publishing the last version. So “5.1 dev” is really what I mean to call 5.2.

And it has… “Native tethered shooting support for select Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras”… So that may make my script obsolete, at least for those with Lightroom.

I noted that several people have used the Camera control script as the software to drive a photobooth as events, such as wedding, where guests can come up and take their own picture.
The script can be used like that, but is hardly ideal. However I can imagine making a “photobooth mode” specifically for this purpose which would take away some of the problems.
E.g. you could have a simplified control – basically only one button to press.
Let me know if that sounds interesting and if you have any ideas to add and see if I should spend some more thought on it.

Seems strange but if you are having trouble with Camera Control being unreliable or failing to perform, try making sure that your USB cable connection is good:
Strange as it may seem this has fixed some of my own problems. Apparently it is possible to have an unreliable USB connection which is good enough for some purposes (including downloading images in batches), but not good enough for tethering.

I have a fever of 103 f and am supposed to be resting – that may or may not relate to this post.

Makes me think because often recently I find that nothing I have been shooting has really come out very interesting, whereas I actually had more worthwhile pieces years ago.
Maybe part of that is just being busy this past year, with the new baby and work there isn’t much time for anything else.

At least according to http://colornames.ch/
Well worth taking a look to see how your colour names match the rest of the world!

If you find that the Camera Control 5.0 script is not working at all on Vista or Win7 it probably is because it is trying to properly set the jpg/raw status during camera initialization and that doesn’t always work properly on non-XP systems.
Because this messes up the whole script camera initialization other things stop working as well. So try this beta version where I have turned off the error checking for that suspect line:

Please let me know in the comments if this helps, and if so I’ll release it in proper packaged format.

Happy Lunar New Year to those of you who celebrate it, and welcome to the Year of the Tiger release of DIYPhotobits Camera Control!
DIYPhotobits Camera Control 5.0 – The Tiger Release – gets a new major version number (from 4 to 5) to reflect several important new enhancements, plus a “.0″ to show that this is new stuff and not as well tested as I would have liked.
