The latest in our blitz of new video tutorials features two actions from TRA2 – The Revenge that do a damned good job of emulating infa-red film… which is a good thing, since they don’t make Kodak HIE anymore, and the images from digital body conversions still require plenty of tweaking in post anyway. So [...]
So, in case you didn’t get the email (why aren’t you on our mailing list?), there are a couple pieces of TRA news to pass along… first, we have updated (as of a couple weeks ago) the sample set of actions to include 5 actions from TRA2, making the total EIGHT free actions for you [...]
So here’s another video tutorial I’ve been busy working on, this time on the very confusing f/zero family of actions from TRA2 – The Revenge. f/zero was so named for two reasons – one, it’s meant to give you a set of tools to isolate your subject using selective focus… if f/1.2 makes everything but [...]
Well, it had to happen sooner or later… XM Radio channel 53 has been taken off the air, apparently indefinitely, and replaced with “AC/DC Radio”, which is, you guessed it, a 24/7 AC/DC station. Fungus was a station that played punk/ska/hardcore, and was the whole reason I subscribed to begin with. It was one of [...]
Just finished a really quick little video on using “Orange You Glad You Didn’t Say Banana”, “Greetings From Paradise”, and “Wish You Were Here” from TRA2. Now that I figured out how to workaround the weird artifacts that Compressor was producing on the left side of the video, I’ll be finishing up with the other [...]
Our friends Anne and Joseph Victor Stefanchik are putting on a workshop in Dallas next month. They’re both exceptionally talented photographers, who have a passion for their work, and a lot of great insight to share. They’re also no-bullshit. Unlike so many of the people running around teaching workshops nowadays, JVS and Anne are both [...]
Well, it’s official – my blog sucks. Jess has a fancy blog. Becker has a fancy blog. Nate and Jac and the Lyons have a fancy blog. And as if my little hand-mangled WordPress template didn’t look pathetic enough already, just look at this awesome new template that Into The Darkroom designed for Chenin’s blog! [...]
Those of you who live in SoCal have undoubtedly seen stickers on countless cars bearing the slogan “Save Trestles, Stop The Toll Road.” Well, the fight’s still on (though hopefully near a temporary end). On September 22, 2008, the US Secretary of Commerce is holding a hearing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds that could very [...]
Came across this site linked from another blog this morning… looks like all kinds of fun stuff, but a couple posts really stood out to me, and I just had to share: Creepy Ads Freaky Food And while we’re at it…
I was working with an image today, testing out some very rough ideas for a future TRA product, and decided to go ahead and finish out the treatment on the image I was working on, since I really liked how it was looking. I do truly believe that our stuff rocks, but sometimes I surprise [...]
So it’s beginning to get a bit pathetic just how infrequently I post on my own blog anymore… chalk it up to being really, really busy with the things I’m about to tell you about. Prepare yourself for the abridged version of all the cool stuff that’s been going on in my life for the [...]
