gphoto2 + F-Spot = win
Whilst I’m waiting for my MacBook to work its way from Shanghai to my house, depending of course on when Iceland stops its geological sneeze or the European aviation authorities decide that the danger has passed, I decided to see if I could find the best solution for tethered shooting under Linux. The advantage to [...]

Feel ratty beyond belief right now: really cruddy front-brain headache, eyes stinging, that kind of thing. And this is just a cold; annoying as hell and it makes it hard to think.
