At an hour and forty minutes long, this isn't exactly "light viewing." However, this video may prove useful if playing in the background while you're completing other tasks. If you overhear a tip you're interested in, you can always focus your full attention on the video at that time. At least, that's how I usually enjoy these videos... [Sean]

Is trying to master certain aspects of Photoshop making you pull your hair out in frustration? The Event Space and expert Andy Graber are here to help. We tried something new with this class: We asked YOU to help us design the curriculum by interacting with us on social media. What aspects of Photoshop are you having trouble with? What is it you need to learn about? In advance of the class, we chose a selection of your questions and built this workshop around them.

From Ubertronix:
 
The Strike Finder TOUCH is our top of the line device in our camera trigger line-up. It has a programmable touch-screen interface that features 5 capabilities in one device. One of the most exciting features is the ability to trigger time lapse based on an external event such as lightning, motion and sound. When it detects high-speed flash events (such as lightning or fireworks), a tripped laser beam, movement, or sound, it sends a signal to the camera or flash at the precise moment to capture the photograph. The fully programmable touch-screen interface allows you to set multiple options (e.g. Sensitivity, Exposure, Timing, Delay (in milliseconds) and will detect motion up to 30 feet away! The motion and sound sensors can be extended by adding additional extension cables.
 

 
The Time Lapse is one of the hallmarks of the Strike Finder TOUCH, it contains all options you’d expect from an intervalometer but also boasts a unique feature that allows a photographer to start time lapse based on external events such as motion, a high-speed flash, sound, etc. Anytime one of these external events occurs, it will take multiple photos based on your setup taking a sequence of pictures from one to several thousand and also lets you adjust the frequency and exposure.
 
Adjustable Settings:

• Time
• Exposure
• Number (number of pics to take)

Additionally, it has the ability to start time lapse when:

• Motion is detected
• Sound is detected
• Lightning is detected
• Laser beam is broken

When using the Lightning feature, it can capture lightning strikes day or night depending on how far the storm is. Since lightning strikes can last for several hundred milliseconds (ms) and contain dozens of strikes, the Strike Finder TOUCH has plenty of opportunity to catch the lightning bolt. The device is very fast, triggering the camera in less than 1ms!
 
Adjustable Settings:

• Delay
• Sensitivity
• Number (number of pics to take)

The Laser Trigger was designed to capture anything that breaks the laser beam from water droplets to insects, to bigger things such as a sprinting runner. Once the laser has been tripped, the device instantly sends a signal to the camera telling it to release the shutter (external laser pointer required).
 
Adjustable Settings:

• Delay
• Sensitivity
• Number (number of pics to take)

The Sound Trigger allows you to do high speed photography using sound. The sensor attachment plugs into the side of the Strike Finder TOUCH with an 12? cable. When it senses a loud sound, the device sends a signal to your camera to release the shutter.
 
Adjustable Settings:

• Delay
• Sensitivity
• Number (number of pics to take)

The Motion Trigger uses a passive infrared sensor that is capable of detecting motion of any kind. Once detected, the device will trigger your camera once or multiple times depending on your setup. The sensor comes as an attachment that plugs into the side of the device with an 12? cable and can be extended with additional extension cables.
 
Adjustable Settings:

• Interval (frequency(in seconds) to take pics while motion is present)
• Number (number of pics to take)

Technical Specs:
 
Size 4" x 2 1/4" x 1"
 
Powered by 4 AAA batteries or optional power adapter Sound and motion sensors are external attachments that plug into the device, extension cables are available too.
