Screencast: photomanip

To finally put the portrait and its photomanipulation to rest, I feel like a screencast (a video tutorial) is in place.

Note1: the soundtrack is made from freely licensed music by Severed Fifth;

Note2: I have the video available in its original format, at an incredible image quality, but the file is large, too large for what vide sharing sites allows, so I’m looking into the right way to publish it.

Making of: studio portaits

When doing studio portraits, the other photographer have to get themselves busy and find something to to: snapshots of the surrounding events, a so-called “making of”, a collection of candid, but technically bad, pictures.

Model Me / Me from Hell

In the portrait session of the photography course we had to take in turns photos of our colleagues. And, as a consequence, when asked model for our colleagues. Don’t know if my beard was the reason or maybe the finger showing T-shirt, but I opened the session as a model.

Model Me

I don’t turned into a smoker overnight, the smoke is not from a cigarette behind me, but is coming straight from the Hell (sure!). Now I think I can use as an avatar for my Baldur’s Gate character (maybe after a bit of darkening and pixelation).

Books

"Digital Photography", volumes 1 and 2 in a boxed set, my latest purchase purchase: at the first sight, those books look good for beginners (I consider myself a beginner) they are a collection of tips, one on each page, illustrated with useful photos. And I think the price was good, 26.99$ plus transport (another 8$).

Books

And this is a good recipe to make people happy: when I made the purchase on Amazon, the estimated delivery was 24 December, the next day when I received the shipping confirmation, the estimate moved to 29 December. I received the package on 15 December so I am happy (and very positive towards the postal service, which I used to curse at other times).
