Social media users got a big surprise Monday afternoon (March 16) when Kanye West decided to give the public an eyeful on Twitter with a few nude photos of his wife, Kim Kardashian.

Yeezy, apparently in a good mood and feeling thankful, posted a photo of Kim with the caption, “I’M SO LUCKY.” By looking at the pic, we’re not sure anyone would disagree.

While one photo would’ve been enough to get the people talking, Yeezy didn’t stop there. He also congratulated his wife on reaching 30 Million followers on Twitter — with another nude photo attached.

The rapper even took the time to give Kim K. props on the premier of the 10th season of her TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. “CONGRATS BABY ON THE SHOW PREMIERE LAST NIGHT,” he wrote, sharing another picture of the naked reality TV star.

We suspect that Kanye may have snapped these pictures of Kim while looking at them off of a laptop. Then he likely uploaded them from a mobile app on his phone since a few of the images seem to be part of a slideshow of some sort. Judge for yourself.

Hate him or love him, you’ve got to admit that the world of music is more exciting whenever Kanye West is around. The same can be said about his wife, Kim Kardashian, who moves the needle like no other socialite has in the history of socialites. So when you put the two together, trending topics are made and a media frenzy is bound to ensue. Job well done, Mr. West.

Tool Kit: Leica Cameras Have Eye-Popping Prices, With Photos to Match

Ridiculous? Perhaps. But the hard-core photographers who own a Leica swear by its craftsmanship, lens quality and lack of bells and whistles even as they acknowledge that their beloved camera gear is, well, not for everyone.

The question is whether your love of photography — and perhaps your skill — runs deep enough to justify dropping enough money to buy a car, on a camera.

“For most people, the Leica is absolutely the wrong camera. But if you’re really, really dedicated to the craft, then the pictures it can take are beautiful,” said Christopher Michel, a photographer and investor with Nautilus Ventures.

Leica, based in Germany, released its first high-end digital camera in 2006, the M8, but the company has been in the camera business for almost a century. In the 1950s, Leica rose to fame when it introduced the M-System camera.

Although it had a rough start crossing into digital, Leica now sells almost a dozen varieties of digital cameras, including some point-and-shoots. But the most coveted models are still in M-System series, with the range finder body that was introduced in 1932.

Unlike D.S.L.R. (digital single-lens reflex) cameras, in which a photo subject is viewed through a mirror, range finders offer crisper images because the lens is closer to the sensor of the camera. The shutter on a range finder is also incredibly still and quiet — unlike the D.S.L.R., in which the mirror flips up and down at the moment a photo is snapped — so little vibration is added to a photo when the shutter is pressed.

Still, focusing with a Leica range finder is not as easy as just snapping a picture with your iPhone.

First, the camera focus is completely manual. A Leica viewfinder shows two versions of the scene before you. The trick is to line up the images and make them overlap over the area to be in focus.

Leica offers several digital camera bodies. The Leica M-E is the lowest-priced model of the M-System. The bare-bones M-E body costs $5,450. It has an 18-megapixel sensor and can shoot at an ISO of 160 to 2,500 (the ISO number measures the sensitivity to light). Photos taken during the day will be flawlessly clear, while in very low light the images will deteriorate and become grainy without a flash.

The latest high-end camera from the company, the Leica M, was announced late last year and costs $6,950. It features a newly designed 24-megapixel CMOS sensor (CMOS stands for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor), which makes it possible for the camera to shoot in lower-light situations while keeping a crisp image. The Leica M is the only M-System camera that can shoot video.

Leica also offers the Leica M Monochrom, an 18-megapixel camera that can shoot only black and white. Some people might ask why anyone would buy a camera that cannot even take a color picture, but Leica has poured years of research and development into optimizing the sensor on this camera for the subtlety of black-and-white photography.

The results from the Leica M Monochrom are astounding. Pictures have the tonality and contrast that make them look as if they were shot with real black-and-white film. The M Monochrom can also shoot at an ISO up to 10,000, which allows pictures to be taken in extremely low light.

Keep in mind that once you buy a Leica camera body, it still needs a lens. But this, professional photographers say, is where Leica excels.

“Leica makes a lens the way it should be made, with metal and glass, while everyone else is making plastic lenses that are meant to be thrown away in a couple of years,” said Ken Rockwell, a photographer and expert on cameras and lenses. “The Leica lenses are so special because they are smaller, faster and sharper.”

Mr. Rockwell notes that Leica’s lenses, which are still assembled by hand in Germany, do not have the added features of modern D.S.L.R.'s, like motors, and that the company uses the highest-grade glass available.

“The Leica glass,” Mr. Michel said, “adds that special ethereal quality to the image that no D.S.L.R. can match.”

I have tested almost all of the company’s cameras and lenses. The control I have with a manual Leica makes me realize that today’s abundance of buttons and features on most cameras often makes people take poorer pictures.

Leica’s lenses can vary in price from $1,650 for the Leica 50mm f/2.5 Summarit-M, to the Leica 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux-M, which costs $10,950. Once you have recovered from seeing the price of the Noctilux-M, keep in mind it is considered one of the best low-light lenses in the world and has such a wide aperture it can shoot almost in darkness.

The company names all of its lenses based on the amount of light a lens can let in through the aperture; these include the Summilux, Summicron, Summarit and Noctilux.

If you have been doing the math, you might have noticed that the best Leica setup will cost almost $20,000. My personal Leica setup is half that. I own a used Leica M9-P with a Leica 50mm f1.4 Summilux lens, which cost almost $10,000, and although the price might make you choke on your morning coffee, I would give up my iPhone before I’d part with my Leica.

This was true decades ago and is still true today. Henri Cartier-Bresson, considered by many to be the father of photojournalism, said in his biography, “The Mind’s Eye,” that when he discovered the Leica camera in the beginning of his career, “It became the extension of my eye, and I have never been separated from it since I found it.”

But be forewarned: Although Leicas are tough and rugged, if your camera does break, be prepared to wait a couple of months for it to be fixed, because the company’s repair facilities are only in Germany. If you do buy a Leica, it will also take a long time to become completely used to the range finder and manual setup. Leicas are in such high demand that there is a three-month wait to purchase several of the latest models.

“Don’t think that if you buy a Leica you’re going to be taking the same photos as the world’s best photojournalists,” Mr. Rockwell said. “The camera doesn’t take good pictures; the person holding it does.”

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: August 8, 2013

An earlier version of the this article misstated when Leica first released a camera with its range finder body. It was in 1932, not in the 1950s, which is when the company introduced its M-System cameras. (The M-System cameras have the range finder body.)

Bits Blog: Photos Take the Spotlight in Updates to Google’s Social Network

Users of Google’s photo service will get a one-click option to enhance photos.

Google may dominate Web search, but when it comes to social networks, the company’s Google Plus service is an underdog against Facebook and Twitter. As of December, Google Plus users were spending about 12 minutes a month on the service, according to the company, a smidgen of time compared with the hours that Facebook users spend on that site every month.

But Google has one unique weapon in its quest to build traffic for Google Plus: it is increasingly tying all of its services, from search and maps to video chats and photo sharing, to the social network. Google doesn’t consider Plus a social network in the Facebook sense, but views it more as a connective layer personalizing and connecting Google’s myriad of services together for each user.

The company said on Wednesday at its developer conference in San Francisco that about 390 million people a month used the network of services, with slightly less than half using the core service, called the stream, which features updates and posts from a user’s social network.

To increase the time spent on the service and make it more useful, the company unveiled a redesign of the stream and related apps at the conference.

The most striking improvements are to Google’s photo sharing service. When users upload a batch of photos to Google’s online photo album via Picasa or mobile devices, Google’s algorithms will sort through them and attempt to choose the best of the bunch — eliminating blurry shots, duplicates and bad exposures and favoring photos of smiling people, landmarks and those that are aesthetically pleasing

“Photography is very labor-intensive,” with all the editing and uploading that comes along with shooting photos, said Vic Gundotra, Google’s senior vice president of engineering. “At Google, we think we can give you some of your time back.”

Users will also get a one-click option to automatically enhance photos to fix red eye, adjust exposure, soften the look of human skin and correct other flaws.

The quirkiest new photo feature, which Google calls “auto awesome,” can stitch together a series of snapshots — a child blowing out birthday candles and cutting a cake, for example — into a short animation, or merge multiple photos shot at different exposures into a single image with high dynamic range.

To encourage users to make Google their principal place for photo storage, the company will allow users to set up their mobile devices to automatically upload all photos to Google, with unlimited free storage at standard resolution and 15 GB of storage at full resolution for high-quality prints.

All of the new photo features are scheduled to be rolled out later on Wednesday and will be available on existing Google Photo albums as well as new ones.

The Google Plus stream of updates has been given a new multi-column format.

The more familiar part of Google Plus, the page showing the stream of updates from your social networks, has been given a new multicolumn format. It creates a busier look, but also offers a view of more updates, including photos, at one glance.

Google’s Hangouts service is getting easier access from mobile devices.

Leveraging Google’s strength in search, the stream will also feature automatic hash-tagging of topics mentioned in a post and use those to provide links to more information from a user’s social network or the broader Web. For example, a friend’s comment about an event like the Boston Marathon bombing could pull up other comments and related news articles.

Hangouts, Google’s text and video chatroom service, will also receive some new features, including easier access from mobile devices and other Google services like Gmail and archiving features that can keep a permanent history of a conversation within a group, whether it’s a business discussion about the merits of various strategic plans, the evolution of a romance or family debates about where to go on vacation.

Gadgetwise Blog: App Smart Extra: Apps for Editing Photos

This week in my App Smart column, I wrote about some of the smartphone apps that have brought powerful photo manipulation techniques to your pocket. This is the kind of image trickery that used to be possible only on a desktop computer running Photoshop.

Many of these photo manipulation apps offer a range of effects, and you can “layer” effects on top of each other. But there are many simpler apps that can quickly transform basic smartphone photos into better images, or photos with an arty angle.

An example is Elasticam, a $2 iOS app that lets you tweak and twist your photos as if they were on a sheet of plastic. This can produce some entertaining funhouse mirror effects. The app’s easy controls can be used to pull a photo of someone’s face toward the nose, or add a crazy swirling spiral to someone’s ears, for example. Delicate touches can also make your legs look a little slimmer.

Facebox, for Android, is similar — although I did manage to crash it while testing it.

Percolator ($2 for iOS) turns your photos into a pile of colored bubbles. Close up, the altered image looks like one of those cards your optometrist uses to test for color-blindness, but from a bit farther away it looks like an arty representation of the original photo. You can adjust many settings to get the effect you want from this delightfully quirky app, which calls the process of adjusting your image “grinding” it up. It’s more for entertainment than serious photo editing.

Dash of Color is a surprisingly powerful app that can add dramatic effect to a photo. First, it turns your color image into black and white. Then you then carefully dab at the screen to restore color to parts of the image. It’s free for Android and iOS.

Apps like these turn otherwise ordinary smartphone snaps into something you may like to share with your friends over Facebook or even print out and hang on your wall. Some of them also perform some standard photo editing, like removing red-eye from photos. Others have some brain-twisting effects like changing your eye color (the free iOS app Magic Eye Color Effect).

TV Guide has given its free Android app a big overhaul. The app has a New Tonight, Trending feature so you can see what other people are watching, and it has more social networking so you can share your TV choices with the world.

App Smart: Mobile Editing Tools for Smartphone Photos

The granddaddy of photo manipulation on a smartphone is Photoshop. The Photoshop Touch app is a touch-screen version of the original ($10 for a tablet version on iOS and Android, $6 for iOS and Android phones). It’s powerful and can apply many of the effects you have seen in magazines and on the Web. That includes adjustments like the tilt-shift effect, which can make a townscape look like a miniature model, as well as better-known effects like red-eye reduction.

A tutorial shows beginners how to manipulate sample photos, step by step. Soon you’ll be experimenting on your own.

Because of its complexity, however, this app isn’t ideal for occasional use or for simple touch-ups of your holiday snaps. Unless you take the time to make yourself familiar with it, you’ll easily get lost in its hundreds of settings. You may find it hard to remember the purpose of its many icons.

A simpler app, Photoshop Express (free on iOS and Android) is ideal for quick fixes because it has only about a dozen effects. It’s great for cropping or quick brightness adjustments. It has clear controls and an obvious mechanism for undoing changes, though it would be nice to be able to undo an earlier effect without changing later adjustments.

You can also use it to share your tweaked photos via e-mail or over social networks like Twitter. It’s a simple app, and there’s little to dislike about it.

For a different, more entertaining experience, Snapseed is free on iOS and Android. It doesn’t have Photoshop Touch’s range of functions, but Snapseed’s tools are presented in an interesting, gesture-based interface.

Icons represent different adjustments it can make, including cropping, rotating, tilt-shift effects and retro-looking filters.

After you choose a photo from your phone’s library and select one of these effects, the app takes you to an editing page. You’ll see the image you’re working on and a simple icon bar at the bottom. In many cases, you adjust the selected photo effect with screen gestures: to crop an image you simply drag a finger from any corner of the image until you achieve the framing you desire.

Other settings, like rotating the cropping window, are controlled via the icon bar. You can hold your finger on the Preview button to see the photo before and after you’ve applied your chosen effect. When you’re satisfied, click Apply.

Some of the effects are beautiful. But I’ll admit that, even though this is one of my favorite apps and I’m practiced in its use, I find it easy to forget which gestures do what. Fortunately, the app reminds you when you start work.

A great alternative $1 app on iOS is Luminance. A full-featured app, it’s a little like Photoshop Express, but with a few more effects and a slightly different interface. It’s much more icon-driven than Snapseed and is a little more intuitive than Adobe’s apps.

For example, clicking on the icon that looks like a group of slider controls brings up a panel where you can adjust features like brightness, contrast or color saturation by moving a slider. The app also has a timeline of your edits so that you can see exactly what you did to your photo in the order you did it. It doesn’t have much in the way of tutorials or instructions, though, so mastering it may take some trial and error.

Gadgetwise Blog: How to Use the Rule (or Suggestion) of Thirds in Photos

Bryan Peterson, photographer and author, doesn’t like to stifle creativity. So in his new book, “Understanding Composition,” when he describes the rule of thirds, a classic composition strategy, he prefers to call it the suggestion of thirds.

There are a lot of theories on why the rule of thirds works, none of them definitive. But there is general agreement that it does improve many photos.

To use the rule of thirds in a basic way, imagine a tick-tack-toe board over the scene you are framing for a shot; some cameras and phone camera apps let you place an actual grid in the viewfinder. Put the subject of your picture where the lines cross, which is a third of the way from the top or bottom and left or right.

It seems simple, but there are decisions to be made about what the subject should be and how to place it. Mr. Peterson explained using photos from his book.

Bryan Peterson

“The argument for this composition is, the focus point was dead center, so you made the main point where the focus was,” Mr. Peterson said. This kind of photo is good for documentation, but it lacks artistry. “To me it’s an incredibly static image,” he said. Static is photo lingo for boring.

Bryan Peterson

Moving the tree a third to the right is an improvement but not a large one, because the horizon is still centered. Here is where another decision is made: “Is interest greatest below the horizon line, or above the horizon line?”

Bryan Peterson

Increasing the amount of sky is an improvement — the photo now conforms to the rule of thirds — but Mr. Peterson isn’t finished. The sky, he said, is “what I refer to as ‘vanilla blue.’ There are no white clouds, it’s empty.” So if the question is which is more interesting visually, the sky or the field, the cloudless blue sky loses.

Bryan Peterson

With the tree off center, and the flowers filling the foreground, “we have introduced some degree of tension,” which is photo-speak for interest, Mr. Peterson said.

The rule of thirds works for many compositions, including portraits. The trick, Mr. Peterson said, is to get close and fill the frame: “You’re not close enough until you have cut off part of the person’s forehead. In my opinion, that is when you are close enough for a really intimate portrait.” With that done, most photographers will naturally apply the rule of thirds.

There is one technical trick to using the rule of thirds. Most cameras will automatically focus on the center of a frame, even if that isn’t the intended subject. There are a number of ways to shift the focus to the subject.

The most obvious is to turn off the automatic setting and focus manually.

There is an easier trick that works for most cameras, which is to push the shutter button halfway to hold the focus. All you have to do is to put your subject in the center of the frame, and press the shutter button halfway. All of the settings will be locked. Now, still holding the button, frame the shot the way you want, and then press the button fully. Your intended subject should still be in focus.

Finally, many digital single-lens reflex cameras have movable focus points, meaning the camera can be focused automatically on a point that is not in the center. Most cameras have at least three focus points; some have more than 60. Check the manual to see how to do it.

Although the rule of thirds can help many photos, even abstracts, there is a reason that Mr. Peterson calls it a suggestion. “Some things do look better then they are smack dab in the middle,” he said.

Bits Blog: Twitter Loses Ability to Properly Display Instagram Photos

7:15 a.m. | Updated Adding comment from Kevin Systrom, Instagram’s chief executive.

Welcome to the Photo Wars.

Instagram on Wednesday disabled the ability for Twitter to properly display Instagram photos on its Web site and in its applications. The move escalates tensions between the two companies, which were once friends in the battle against Facebook but have now become direct competitors.

In a status update on Twitter’s Web site, the company said Instagram had disabled its integration with Twitter cards, which are used to display images and content within Twitter messages.

“Users are experiencing issues with viewing Instagram photos on Twitter,” the post said. “This is due to Instagram disabling its Twitter cards integration, and as a result, photos are being displayed using a pre-cards experience.”

Speaking at the LeWeb technology conference, Kevin Systrom, Instagram’s chief executive, confirmed that the company has removed the ability to send pictures to Twitter, and plans to completely cut off embedding pictures on the Twitter Web site.

“We’ve decided that right now, what makes sense, is to direct our users to the Instagram Web site,” Mr. Systrom said, noting that Instagram images will soon no longer be visible on Twitter. “Obviously things change as a company evolves.”

Mr. Systrom did not say when images will cesase to show up on the site.

Instagram users will still be able to generate a tweet on Twitter when they post a photo. But when someone clicks on the Instagram link in those tweets, they will be taken out of the Twitter site or app and directed to Instagram’s site to view it.

Until now, if someone posted a photo on Instagram and also shared it with their Twitter followers, a click on the “View Photo” link on Twitter’s site would summon it right on the same page.

Mr. Systrom said that photos posted through other sites and services, including Facebook, Tumblr and Foursquare, will not be affected.

For now, Instagram photos appear incorrectly on Twitter, sometimes showing up cropped or off center. It is unclear if Instagram will completely disable the ability for Twitter to show pictures on its Web site.

Photo sharing continues to be a volatile battleground for social networking services, and given the potential advertising dollars at stake, the tensions will likely continue to grow.

Although Instagram and Twitter worked closely together during Instagram’s early days, relations between the two companies have soured since the Facebook acquisition.

Now the companies are competing on a number of fronts for consumer eyeballs. Last month Instagram, which had been almost entirely app-based, began rolling out its own Web-centric pages for its 100 million registered users. And Twitter is expected to introduce photo filters to its mobile applications, much like the ones Instagram offers.

When the Facebook acquisition of Instagram closed, Instagram said in a blog post that the deal “means we can now work together to evolve and build a better Instagram for everyone.”

It looks like “everyone” doesn’t include Twitter.

Gadgetwise Blog: Turn Your Photos into E-Holiday Cards

Over lets you add text to your photos and share them.

From Christmas trees to Christmas cards, December is a pretty deadly season for trees. There’s not a lot you can do about the Christmas trees (aluminum tinsel tree anyone?), but you can cut down on the cards.

An iPhone app, Over, lets you put type on top of your own photos. Although it wasn’t intended with holidays in mind – more like a chance to make your own memes – it’s an easy way to make cards the way photo studios used to ages ago.

There are other similar apps, but few if any are as simple to use and as versatile as Over.

To get started, open the app and tap on “take a photo,” or “camera roll,” to take a photo or choose an existing shot.

Sample text tells you to double tap to edit. Once you do that, type in your message and then choose the color you would like your type to be. A yellow triangle on the right-hand side of the photo lets you pick a font and size it. You can move the writing around by dragging it with your finger.

When you are happy with your choices, you can save the photo or go directly to “share” and post your work on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram, or send by email.

If you really want to be a traditionalist, you can still kill trees by having your work turned into a 4 by 6 inch postcard, at $2 for a single card. You buy through the service Sincerely, which gets points off for making people go through sign up and set up without revealing the cost until the last step.

Over is a $2 app, but there is a version for use on Instagram only; it’s Overgram, and it’s free.

Gadgetwise Blog: Q&A: Making Money From Flickr Photos

Why do some photos on Flickr have a “Request to License” tag with a Getty Images link next to them?

Flickr has a partnership with Getty Images, a stock photography company that licenses digital images (as well as music and video) from its archive to publications and other businesses. When a Flickr photo has a “Request to License” tag on its page, it means that the person who took it has turned on the Request to License setting for Getty Images in his or her Flickr account settings.

If someone wants to buy the rights to use that photo, clicking the Request to License link sends a message to editors at Getty Images. Upon getting the request, a Getty editor checks out the photo and if it passes muster, offers to set up a licensing deal for a legal use of the image. It may take anywhere from two to seven days to set up a deal for permissions and pricing.

Getty Images charges different fees to license photos, usually based on the size needed. An extra-small 280-by-211-pixel photo may cost $5 to license, but a larger 2,100-by-1,400-pixel picture can cost $325 to use. The photographer still owns the copyright to the photo, but Getty Images handles the fee and permissions for someone else to use the image, then shares the payment with the photographer.

Getty Images also hosts a Flickr Collection on its own Web site that displays the work of Flickr members who have been invited to contribute. Photo editors, graphic designers and other people looking for images to license on the site can browse the Flickr Collection along with the company’s other image archives. Getty editors actively look for images based on certain needs as well and often post their own requests on Twitter.

Participation in the Getty Images program is not mandatory for Flickr members, and the preferences for joining in (or not) are in the Privacy & Permissions area of the Flickr account settings page. Dealing with contracts and legal agreements may be daunting at first, but Flickr has more information about the Getty Images program on its site. Getty Images has its own Frequently Asked Questions page for those interested in becoming official Getty contributors.

Gadgetwise Blog: Tip of the Week: Posting Photos Quickly to Facebook in iOS 6

Want to post pictures from e-mail messages directly to your Facebook page? If you have iOS 6 — and the official Facebook app installed and configured on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch — you can post with a tap. (To install and set up the Facebook app, tap the Settings icon on the Home screen and select Facebook from the Settings menu.)

Now, when you have a photo attached to an open Mail message you have received, hold the cursor on the image until a menu box pops up. Tap the Facebook icon to post a copy of the photo (and a caption) to your timeline.

Other options in the same menu box let you attach a copy of the image to a new Mail message, post the picture to a Twitter account, assign it to a contact file or save it to the Photos app. You can also print it or copy it for pasting elsewhere. When you have a picture open in the iOS 6 Photos app, the Action Menu in the top right corner offers similar options.

Gadgetwise Blog: Tip of the Week: Photos in Full Screen View

The ability to see photos in full-screen mode on the computer cuts down background distraction from icons cluttering the desktop. In Windows, when you open a photo in Windows Explorer, press the F11 key on the keyboard to expand the picture to the full screen. If it does not work, the manufacturer may have modified the keyboard function; try pressing the Function key and F11 or check the computer’s manual.

Pressing F11 when looking at a photo or video in Windows Media Player should also expand it to a full-screen view. The F11 key expands windows to the full screen as well. Press the Escape key to close the full-screen view.

In Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8, you can click the arrows in the top right corner of a photo in the Mac’s built-in Preview program to expand it to the full screen. With the Quick Look function on the Mac, however, you do not even need to have the photo open in the Preview program — just click on the photo’s icon and press the Mac’s Option key and Space bar to see the image expand to the entire screen; the Quick Look shortcut also works in Mac OS X 10.6. Press the Escape key to return to the normal view.
