A strong US employment report for July underpinned hawkish Fed bets and recalled the US dollar bulls the previous day. The US Dollar Index (DXY) remains firmer around 106.75, up 0.15% intraday while extending Friday’s recovery moves at the latest. It’s worth noting that Wall Street benchmarks closed negative and the US 10-year Treasury yields rallied to 2.83%, up 14 basis points (bps), to renew the US dollar strength. The sour sentiment could be gauged from the S&P 500 Futures’ losses of around 4,138, as well as the mixed performance of the US 10-year Treasury yields near 2.3%. Also keeping the greenback buyers hopeful are the recently increased hopes of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 0.75% rate hike in September. Gold price (XAU/USD) remains pressured near $1,773, down 0.10% intraday, as risk-aversion underpins the US dollar’s safe-haven demand during Monday’s Asian session.

And the fact that a 9-year-old device is still productive today just makes it all the better. I find it interesting that I leverage the iPad for traditional film work all the way to a modern photo studio. The continuous, adjustable illumination from a tablet can be used in many ways.
For a high tech look, I sometimes use the Grid 1 in Light Box. I also use the older first gen iPad as an illuminated platform for product work. You can even use your smartphone as the camera (why not?) to complete the super mobile studio. Just position the iPad like you would any softbox and fire away. And because we're just talking about continuous light output, the resolution doesn't really make a difference. The iPads also make great light sources for product photography. I actually use both devices for my work, and I have the Light Box app on each iPad. So it really depends on what you're going to do and the needs you have. My iPad mini 5 display has 2048 x 1536 resolution at 326 ppi, and it's great for examining image detail with a magnifier. If you're going to spend a lot of time with the loupe, then you'll probably want to use a tablet with a higher resolution screen. And if I want a closer look with a loupe, I can certainly do that as well. It's great for sleeving negatives, however, because the illuminated surface is the exact width of 5 frames, which is the length that I cut my negative strips. Because it isn't a retina display - only 1,024 x 768 pixel at 132 ppi - it isn't as good for critical viewing of negatives and slides via a loupe because you can see the pixels of the screen itself when magnified. I use it for sleeving negatives and organizing slides. I have the original iPad that was released in 2010. The 99-cent app, Light Box - Illuminator Viewer

Plus it has some cool grids available as well that I've used for product shots. It keeps the screen lit without the iPad going to sleep, and makes it easy to adjust brightness. I like Light Box - Illuminator Viewer that I bought a while back for 99 cents. There are several apps you can use to enhance this experience. And in those instances, the iPad makes a great light source. But sometimes I want to work in other places as well. I have a traditional lightbox anchored at the studio that I use for viewing slides and negatives, and sometimes product photography as well.
