Zoom, zoom, zoom!

Zoom experiment

No photoshop. Just the kit lens and a tripod. Ignore the background. (future studio) lol!

———–

I finally switched from CRT to LCD. I had the wide LCD for quite some time, connected to our second computer which I use just for browsing the internet. I only trusted CRT for critical color work so my heavy 19-incher became my workhorse for years.

I decided to give the LCD another go since it has benefits like having a smaller footprint and wider screen. Unlike before, I now have the huey so I’m sure colors are more accurate. I just hate it when the colors change depending on the viewing angle. I know LCDs have this inherent property but it might also be exasperated by the fact that this is a cheap $200 monitor. If I look down, there is a magenta tinge; if I look up,there is a bluish tinge! I hope it does not affect my work — or probably I can just work in black and white from now on!

Texture layering is a bit popular these days, so I decided to try one. Thank you Sam for letting me use your texture file.

New Look!

The site is still messy but I think it is much better than the previous one. I’ll try to put more functionality to the site soon, hopefully before we leave for Boston.

Have a good night folks!

Website Up and Running! Online Portfolio for now.

Filed Under Photography Articles

Ah, finally! My online portfolio is online! Just random images taken in the last few months. I had a hard time figuring out how to upload to the server which was complicated by a previous site I made a long time ago using default tools provided by my hosting company.

Lensbaby 1.0

Filed Under Photography Articles



, originally uploaded by psilver (www.silverph.com/journal).

These series of images show how unpredictable the original lensbaby is. I prefer the sharper sweet spot of the Lensbaby 2.0 or even the "lockability" of the Lensbaby 3G but some people argue, that contradicts the original use of the Lensbaby.

I processed the images to take advantage of the slight unfocus, making it more likely to be shot by a Holga with Velvia film. In fact, the Lensbaby is a nice cheap (despite the higher price) alternative of a Holga Camera. Personally, I like the images of a Holga camera but I hate dealing with film which can be expensive in the long run.

Understandably, these type of images are not preferred by some people.
