How To: Photography Post Production with Photoshop (And Lightroom)
Follow along as I do some simple tweaking on a couple photos taken by a friend of mine in Pakistan. This will be remedial to experienced Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom users, but might be useful for beginners.
Finally, A Photography Update
It’s been awhile… Here’s a sneak peak from my latest photoshoot. More to come when I’m done fiddling in Photoshop!
The Downside To Shooting Your Lover
Shooting with a camera I mean. It’s pretty self evident the downside to shooting your lover in other ways, however tempting it might be at times. Anyway, this is something I realized after my last relationship ended earlier this year:
$150 Space Camera
There is an article on Wired describing two MIT students who sent a camera up high enough to photograph the curvature of Earth. For a $148 budget. Now that is just ridiculously cool!
Check out the article now!
Photography Guilt
Of not seeing the forest for the trees. (Among other things, I’m sure)
As I was uploading some more pictures from my shoot with Kerrie, I was writing comments about some of the photos that I liked. And I realized that some of the photos I liked and was commenting on, I liked for photographer-specific reasons. [...]
DIY Ring Flash Adapter
Like practically every other photographer with internet access, I’m a follower of Strobist. It’s regularly full of make-the-most and DIY goodness, and Mr. Hobby (David Hobby, Mr. Strobist himself) has posted a few DIY ring lights before.

Anyone that wants to is free to use it, but by using it you agree not to hold me responsible [...]
No Pics for a Reason

Then I photographed another friend of mine, and got some more nice pictures – but these ones I might be able to post!
Just have to hear back from her and see if she likes them.
I [...]
Flyer Time
Well, being temporarily stuck in a small town without any way to get around, I have resorted to posting fliers on the bulletin boards around town in my attempts to find some people to photograph. Nagging all my friends of course, although there aren’t many in the area to begin with. :’(
Follow up: Well, people [...]
Light Stand on the Cheap
I’ve been interested in photography again after the big storm, so I went out and finally bought myself an umbrella adapter with a hotshoe. But the light stands were all over $100 and I am poor, so I decided I would have to cobble something together ala Strobist. Here’s my relatively cheap and surprisingly functional [...]
Big Ugly Face
I was playing with my flashes today, I need more practice. And some people to pose for me! Prettier people than me! Just look at this big ugly poorly lit mug of mine…
