The Lens: a new guide for creative photographers - Published on 12/13/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Lens: a Practical Guide for the Creative Photographer is a new guide from publisher Rocky Nook, fully enhanced for the iPad, that answers questions photographers actually ask about lenses. By demystifying optics, decoding arcane terminology and providing practical tips, the Lens helps amateur and professional photographers make smart purchasing choices and build the perfect lens collection. The app is richly illustrated with Retina-quality photography, interactive sections, and slideshow.

London, United Kingdom - The Lens: a Practical Guide for the Creative Photographer is a new guide from publisher Rocky Nook, fully enhanced for the iPad, that answers questions photographers actually ask about lenses. By demystifying optics, decoding arcane terminology and providing practical tips, the Lens helps amateur and professional photographers make smart purchasing choices and build the perfect lens collection.

"Choosing the right lens is one of the most important photographic decisions you can make," says author NK Guy, "Nothing affects the quality of a photo more than the lens. It's no longer just about the megapixels - it's the glass that makes all the difference."

Yet many photographers starting out with interchangeable lens cameras don't venture past the basic lens included in the box. Some are reluctant to spend more money, are confused by the buzzwords, or are overwhelmed by all the choices that are available. This new book takes the guesswork out of the process so everyone can get the best out of their gear.

For advanced photographers, NK Guy covers the foundations of lens design, the optical and mechanical properties of photographic lenses, and describes every major category of lens on the market today, from tilt-shift to manual focus. The popular field of adapting old lenses to modern digital cameras is detailed as well.

The book is now available as an enhanced iBook from Apple's iBookstore. The book is richly illustrated with Retina-quality photography, interactive sections, and a high resolution slideshow. Available now from the US, UK, and Canadian iBookstores. (other regions to follow) The book is also available worldwide in print form, distributed by O'Reilly and Associates.

London, United Kingdom - Independent publisher Nosy Crow today is delighted to announce its life science book app, Rounds: Parker Penguin, is now available on the App Store for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

USA Today awarded the app four out of four stars, saying, "It is fabulous. We can't wait for the next one."

Rounds: Parker Penguin combines narrative storytelling with lots of educational information and interactive fun, making it perfect for both the home and the classroom.

Rounds: Parker Penguin has:
* Well-researched and accurate educational content
* An age-appropriate story told in accessible and carefully-chosen language
* Stylish but child-friendly graphics - the circular story is told using art made of circles and parts of circles

* Rich animation (you can watch the penguins do their mating dance, for example)
* Original music by BAFTA award-winning composer, Robin Beanland

Australian based independent digital developers Colin Connor & SUSH today announce the launch of Burp World for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. A socially engaging "burp diary", analyzer, and player challenge experience, Burp World tunes the household burp into the mobile age with interactive highscore challenges, digital analysis, and more. Users record their burps, let the app's advanced algorithms analyze them for overall intensity and awesomeness, and gives them a score out of 100.

Wollongong, Australia - Colin Connor & SUSH, two up and coming mobile lifestyle, recreation, and gaming application visionaries, are excited today to announce the launch of Burp World onto the App Store. Compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, this goofy recreation app is equal parts personal burping diary and socially engaging challenge! Burp World turns the everyday hilarity of burping into a mobile distraction that looks - well, really "sounds" come to think of it - unlike anything else out there today.

The idea is simple: Users record their burps, let the app's advanced algorithms analyze them for overall intensity and awesomeness (it's all top secret technology that even we don't fully understand), and gives them a score out of 100. Burp Worlders can even compete to see who has the most burp points via various leader boards. Burp World is currently available for download on the App Store for $0.99 USD in the Entertainment category.

As simple yet curiously enjoyable as the real thing, Burp World gives users a few easy options to get going once they power up the app. The most popular option - laying at the core of the app's 1st main module - is to get straight to the burping, recording all the action as it happens via the app's burp-o-meter. Once finished users' burp stats will automatically be saved into Burp Worlds 2nd main module, the "My Burbs" section. This intuitive "burp log" module shows users when they recorded various burps and features a concise dot graph section allowing them to track the quality of their burps over time (users can also use their saved burp data points to do some high-level regression or trend analysis too, possibly to uncover the hidden meaning behind their burping and the ultimate "why" of it all, if that's the type of thing they're into).

Burp World doesn't make users keep the fun to themselves either. They're free to invite friends to join in via Game Center! Competitive burpers can track their own highest scores, accumulated scores from the world's top burp artists, or see how players stack up by country. There's a whole world of burps to discover, and with Burp World it's not only a gas, it's right at your fingertips.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 10.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Burp World 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

Burp World is the inaugural app from Australian based mobile entrepreneurs Colin Connor and SUSH. The two thought of this application as a solution for anyone who's always wanted to compete with their burps but couldn't make it to real competitions. (C) 2012. All Rights Reserved.

Mahjong Prime 3D 1.0 by BH Projects reinvents the essential tile game for gamers of all ages around the world with superb graphics that are far superior to any other mahjong app available. Mahjong Prime 3D features stunning graphics that have to be seen to truly be appreciated, including high resolution tile sets, high quality tile models, reflections and stencil shadows. Gamers can chose from four play modes: classic, two turns, memory or two corner. The app is designed for iPhone and iPad.

Cupertino, California - Mahjong fans of all ages who want a fun and challenging new way to enjoy the essential tile matching game - and be blown away by spectacular graphics that they won't find in any other mahjong app available - can now download the new app Mahjong Prime 3D 1.0, and prepare to be amazed by what they see.

Gamers can chose from four play modes: classic, two turns, memory or two corner. They can also choose basic graphics, 3D graphics, or they can play in the shadows of Greek ruins or on the beach. Plus, the app's high score counter helps gamers test their improving mahjong skills game after game.

The first computer tile-matching solitaire majong game was created by Brodie Lockard and Brad Fregger in 1986.

And now, BH Projects has brought a beloved, time-honored game into the modern age in a way that novices and experts alike will appreciate and enjoy.

"Quite simply, we feel that Mahjong Prime 3D is the last mahjong game that people will ever need!" commented Hugh Allan of BH Projects. "While retaining the fundamentals that make mahjong a popular pastime enjoyed by millions of people the world over, we've reinvented the look and feel of the game. Gamers who simply try Mahjong Prime 3D will never be able to go back to old-fashioned mahjong again!"

Mahjong Prime 3D, the new mahjong app that features multiple game modes, stunning backgrounds and graphics, and hours of challenging fun, is available now in the iTunes App Store.

Device Requirements:

Since then, the company has published Phoenix Ball, Easy Sudoku and Pool Shark for Mac, and Memory Mahjong HD and Deluxe Sudoku for iPhone. Mahjong Prime 3D is the first installment in a trio of stunning games that will be developed over the next 12 months - each one promising to be better than the last. Copyright (C) 2012 BH Projects.
