A Big List of Fun Things
24 July 2008
Here is a list of interesting stuff I’ve run into in
the past few days:
- Why DNG? I’ve covered this before, but here is a video of Bryan Hughes (a former student of mine) on Photoshop User TV covering this very topic.
- Lovely portraiture - Les Africains (via The Travel Photographer)
- Like disecting political imagery? - BAGnewsNotes has it covered. Today’s entry is spectacular.
- Hate what people do with Photoshop? What about those “rush” jobs or “hacks” that shouldn’t have been published? Somtimes it makes great entertainment.
- From Lightroom to your iPhone. Sweet.
- Flickr is cool. Here are some great add-on’s to make it better.
- Practical Exposure Advice - A book review from Studiolighting.net.
- Photoshop Velvia. Tips on how to give your color photos that velvia look.
- Doing Black & White in Lightroom. (via The Travel Photographer)
- With Lightroom 2.0 imminent, you might need a tablet to do all that brushing.
- Man, I get alot of questions - the two most popular: “What bike to buy” and “what entry level DSLR to buy”
- Ride a bike? Like cool T-shirts?
- Learn to edit your photos. And by edit, I don’t mean Photoshop them. I mean culling for the good shots. This is a skill that takes years to develop. Its like dancing. Only with pictures. And you can do it sitting down and avoid the russian woman with the yard stick.
- Copyright Issues? Listen up. I met Jack a few years back in his studio on a site visit.
- Have an iPhone? Need a photo-related application to waste your time with?
- LR/Mogrify is a great tool for doing extra things with Lightroom. Watermarking for example.
- Panasonic has a new high end Point/Shoot. I have the LX2 and like it. The LX3 looks even better.
- Looking for some awesome used photo gear? Check out my ebay auctions right now.
Ride Report:
Road. 25 miles from my home to Carnation and
back. Lovely ride. The leg is feeling good and
I’m riding strong. I sprinted up a 800 ft climb
for the hell of it.
