Selective Desaturated Wedding Shot
The bride from the wedding I shot two weeks ago asked about some selective desaturation for some of the photos, and well, she's the client so I gave here what she wanted. So here's one of them, and I guess it's not too bad.

Dorothy and John's Wedding Photo Dump
I am not a wedding photographer. I don't like weddings, nor do I like to take wedding photos. But, I got roped into doing a wedding on Tuesday. It was not too bad I guess, especially since it was not a big fancy thing, just a nice little civil ceremony with about 8 people in total in attendance, including the B&G and myself. I shot with the K-5 + ( Read more... ) -
Room Rearrangement
Spent a lot of yesterday rearranging my room. My Dad was unhappy with the location of my computer next to my bed, and wanted to move it elsewhere in the room. Strange, considering that my computer had been in that location for about ten months now. Anyway, he got one of the desks from outside, and after a bit of shuffling things here and there, the ( Read more... ) -
2010 - Looking Back
Before we get too far into the year 2011, let's look back over the events of the past year.
- got a new computer to help satisfy the processor intensive photo editing that I do a lot of these days
- mmm, Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 HSM II Macro. Love that lens. Other lenses which joined the group were the Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM, the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 ( Read more... ) -
RF-602 TX Mod
I've had the Yonguo RF-602 wireless flash triggers five months or so already, and they're awesome triggers, but, unfortunately cannot fully sync at 1/180th on my Pentax system, as detailed in the linked LJ entry. I've been using them at 1/125th, where it works fine, for the time being, but had been thinking about modding the TX so that I can have ( Read more... ) -
New 2nd Monitor
My main monitor is a Dell 2209WA LCD panel, and for quite a while now, I've been using it with a secondary monitor, an old Dell 1504FP LCD that I appropriated from somewhere. The 1504FP was an old monitor, with a resolution of only 1024 x 768, the display wasn't the sharpest, and there was an area with slight unevenness in the colour. Nevertheless ( Read more... ) -
2010 December Desktop
It's been a while since I changed the wallpaper around, this time round I've decided to go back to one I've used previously.

Pizza and Drinks at Beccy's
Last night was spent up at Beccy's place, making food, and then eating and drinking. I met up with her outside her workplace, and once she finished, we did the shopping for what was needed. First stop though, was Dan Murphy's to stock up on a little bit of alcohol. Next, we raided Woolies, the seafood store and finally, the fruit shop. Back to her ( Read more... ) -
Fastpack 250 gone, Street Photo, and Menya
I was up at the Pitt St mall area today where I met up with the wife of the buyer of my Lowepro Fastpack 250 camera bag. She handed me the cash, and I handed her the bag. Goodbye bag. The Fastpack 250 was a good bag, and I did use it quite a bit, until I got my Sigma 70-200/2.8, and until I started carrying a second body, and flashes, and all sorts ( Read more... ) -
SATA PCI Expansion, extra HDD
Stopped by MSY today and picked up an A-Power eSATA + 2x SATA + IDE PCI Card, as well as a 1TB HDD. My computer had 2 internal HDD's, one as my local disk for my OS and program, the other for my documents. I backed up stuff onto an external HDD that I would plug into my hot-swap bay, but I didn't like having the drive sticking out of my tower all ( Read more... )
