Busted foot = photos in the garden

21 August, 2008 – 8:46 pm

I wanted to go out this evening, but I have a foot injury. So I took this opportunity to do something creative in my garden. I shoot with my D300 and a simple 18-70mm F3.5-4.5 but it’s encouraging to know I could have achieve the same thing with my D40x which is currently out on loan.

I enjoy working with the simple lenses more because I have to work a bit harder to achieve a better result. I knew while I was shooting that I would need to do some exposure boosting within Lightroom, but nothing was really popping out until I looked at the contrast between the paving slabs and the gravel; I like the results even if they are abstract.

Bringing old life to new photos

13 August, 2008 – 10:01 am

Whilst stumbling, I found a technique that gave photos that Sin City look so I tried it on a few photos with mixed results. It’s something I will try again, it is very easy to do however the type of photo and lighting contrast makes a difference, also facial close ups seem to work better.

Are these the best parking signs in the world? Yup!

3 August, 2008 – 9:26 am

This has nothing to do with photography, but I couldn’t resist posting this up. I just love the forced perspective these signs give to the car drivers. The idea has been used numerous times on sporting fields like rugby, cricket and American Footbal but I applaud Melbourne (Australia) for applying it in their city.

Transforming a Daylight Image Into a Wild Night - PSDTUTS

Transforming a Daylight Image Into a Wild Night - PSDTUTS

I just thought I’d point this link; it’s a nice tutorial on how to turn a drab, boring daylight shot into something more dramatic. Some purists do not believe in any post production once the photo has been taken, but I’m all for it. Photoshop, airbrushing and touching up is the second half of any photography process…mind you I’ve been doing for a while now :-)

Airbrushing the perfect body, things you need to know!

13 July, 2008 – 9:30 am

The BBC Iplayer are currently showing just how far ALL magazines will go to protray the perfect body. It is something all of us in the industry are aware but it will be good for those outside of photography and graphic design

My new design for my photography website

11 July, 2008 – 11:48 am

Just finishing the CSS for my new website homepage design. I hope it’ll be up very soon. I’m adding quite a bit of functionality, less design to focus more on the photos. As my portfolio grows, so I expect Renderz.com V4 to grow. I have deliberately made it slightly larger than the standard 1024×768 monitor resolution; I’m hoping those with that resolution will forgive me, or buy a bigger monitor :-)
