Adobe’s Contentious Cloud

colorblinded — Thu, 09 May 2013 14:00:54 +0000

http://www.whattheduck.net/strip/1382 When Adobe came out with Creative Cloud it was an alternative to buying CS6. For some it saved them money, but not everyone. Just one year later and Adobe has decided that the Creative Cloud (CC) is the way to go. They’re killing off perpetual licenses and offering the full suite for $50 a month or $20 a month for a program like Photoshop CC all by itself. [...]

Making the most of a trip

colorblinded — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:18:12 +0000

I was in the Daytona Beach area of Florida for two weeks back in November and unfortunately it wasn’t a trip for shooting. Florida wouldn’t be my first choice as a photography destination, I like a little vertical displacement in the terrain, but I wanted to at least try to get some shooting in. [...]

CrashPlan is free for a year!

Do you have files on your computer? Do you care about any of those files? Would you pay $50 to protect your important files against a hard drive crash, house fire or zombie uprising? Would you pay $0 for that same protection? [...]

Corbett’s Glen is nice

colorblinded — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:45:07 +0000

Corbett’s Glen is a fairly sizeable park right in the middle of everything in Rochester that I’ve heard of throughout the years but never made it to. When Taima and I arranged to work together it seemed like the perfect chance to check this location out. I’m glad we did because it’s a beautiful slice of nature in a busy area. The water was cool and there were good pools for people to swim in, something I saw people do a few times during our shoot. [...]

Mertensia Park & Mud Creek with Sarah

colorblinded — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:00:11 +0000

Mud Creek is an aptly named creek running through Mertensia Park (and right behind the car dealership I use). It’s a not-terribly-cool creek which fittingly has a lot of mud in the water and on the rocks. It doesn’t flow very fast and there are some pretty big nursery web spiders on a lot of the rocks (we knocked a rather huge one in to the water in the hopes it would go further downstream but a tadpole or something ate it). [...]

Catching up

colorblinded — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:27:35 +0000

There’s an awful lot going on that’s got my mind spread pretty thin. Getting ready to move in a couple months is a bigger hassle than I’d like but hopefully things will settle once that’s done! I just did some site updates today which as usual is a mixture of things working and things that need working. The long term goal, aside from being more active here, is a complete redo on the site’s layout and underlying systems. I know this site just passed its fifth year back on the 2nd of the month and I’m not happy with how little I’ve been shooting lately or with how infrequently I’ve been able to update the site. Things to improve on! [...]

In the studio with Amanda

colorblinded — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 02:51:57 +0000

Amanda and her MUA friend Liv joined me for a nice shoot back in February at the studio. We had a good time doing a number of things but this was one of my favorites. I tried to get a good balance of color and key off the red detail in the makeup by hitting the background with a blue gel to complement it. Hopefully the subtle difference in brightness is enough that you can see her hair separate from the background behind her head, but not every monitor will play nice with shadow details like that. [...]

The full frame battle returns

colorblinded — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:35:48 +0000

It was a few years ago but Canon and Nikon have been here before. The two top dogs in the 35mmish world have brought out their new “mid-range” full frame DSRs within a month of each other. Both look pretty good to me although I’m not 100% convinced about either. I’m ready at this point to replace or at least supplant my aging 1D Mark II and the 5D Mark III looks promising, I just hope that it has the better noise control and dynamic range that its larger photosites should grant it versus the D800. It certainly appears it will outperform the 5D Mark II but it’s too soon to say what will really become of both new cameras. I’m not too big of a fan of pixel peeping but I do hope to see that the sensors in both cameras give each other a good fight. [...]

January Randomness

colorblinded — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:18:14 +0000

January went by too quickly but I did get to do a little shooting, mostly with people. I’ve been rather disappointed with the weather this winter, it’s really killed my interest in shooting outside for some reason. I think that if it’s winter I just expect that there should be snow around to enjoy and take advantage of. Regardless of whether the weather continues to cooperate or not there are a few things I’m starting to work on again so hopefully those will pop up soon. [...]

Big move done!

colorblinded — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:43:06 +0000

Huzzah, new host! Did some cleanup and whatnot but there’s more to be done down the road. At least we’re up and running for now. Please please please let me know if anything is broken! [...]
