I recently upgraded the version of Wordpress that I’m using to run this site to 2.5. Among its new features are some that have to do with how it handles images, including the ability to generate image galleries and extract exif data from uploaded images. So it’s probably time for me to revisit the design [...]
“Turn the lights off, you’re killing polar bears”. We use that expression around our house to try and shame encourage everyone to turn the lights off after they leave the room. Well it turns out now that we should be saying “turn the lights out, you’re giving the people in West Virginia black lung”.
Enter [...]
I’ve added a couple of new galleries to the IR photos that I’m hosting locally on this site. You can find links to the individual galleries in the sidebar, or the main page here. I’m getting much happier with the results that I’m getting shooting IR, both from the cameras that I’m using, and with [...]
We had another good turnout last Saturday for the November IndyFlickr photowalk. The weather was beautiful (once the sun came out and it warmed up a bit). I’ll have a post recapping it on photowalking.org in a day or two.
I didn’t plan on it when I went, but I ended up taking most of my [...]
Digital IR continues to surprise me. I’ve been using my new 28mm f/1.8 prime lens quite a bit for shooting IR with my Canon, and have been really happy with the results. As I hoped for, the higher quality lens exhibits a lot less lens flare than the kit lens that came with the camera. [...]
In my previous post I talked a little about my new favorite lens for my main camera. This shot is a perfect example of why I wanted to get a good fast lens. On a purely technical level, if what you’re looking for is tack sharp focus and perfect composition, this photo sucks.
But as a [...]
It’s been about 9 months since I started this blog, and I’m still at it. Holy shit. I’m still posting on a somewhat regular basis, and it’s slowly evolving into a blog mainly about my developing passion for photography, including shooting infrared, with occasional excursions off that beaten path.
In parallel with the development of this [...]
I’ve written up a tutorial on using LAB color space in Adobe Photoshop PS2 for adjusting a custom white balance (WB) with digital IR images. I hope you find it useful, it was a useful exercise for me to write it up.
You can find it here (and in the sidebar).
Enjoy.
Well I think I’ve sorted out a basic workflow for processing false color infrared images using LAB color in Photoshop that gives results that I’m happy with. I’m writing up a tutorial describing the basic steps of what I’m doing. It’s not ready for prime time yet, but it’s been a useful exercise for me [...]
I think I’d rather put up with the jet lag. I’m not sure that I’d want to be stuck on a 12 hr flight somewhere with a woody, without being able to do anything about it.
The “little blue pill” given to treat impotence might also help people overcome jet lag faster, a new study [...]
