I have been asked about workflow many times
In album how I process my images… well here is a quick breakdown.. I tend to just do it this way.. it works for me.. many might think it is not correct.. but as I recall in many conversations with many photographers – it is not as much how you get there.. as long as you get there…..wherever there is for you…. This was shot in 2004 – one of my first ever glamour style shoots.. it is not an amazing image, but it shows workflow and how with some photoshop knowledge, some presets and plugins and some experimentation you can make cool looking images.. I could teach just about anyone how to do these steps in about an hour.. how you use the steps in a creative fashion is key to the results you might think you want….but none of the steps in these photos were anything super tricky … I sort of want to really learn the super tricky photoshop stuff but I never seem to have the time to dedicate to it that it will require… so experimentation is where I stand at the moment… This entire editing process took no more than 10-15 minutes resulting in two […]

The World's Smallest Camera
This is the world's smallest digital camera, measuring just over one inch in all dimensions and weighing only half an ounce. Reminiscent of devices employed by Cold War-era operatives for intelligence gathering, the camera appears to require Lilliputian agility, yet its one-button operation provides easy picture taking. Providing automatic focus, it uses a 2 MP image sensor that takes still images at 1600 x 1200 resolution and captures video at 30 fps at 640 x 480 resolution. Images are taken as JPEGs and videos as AVIs, both saved onto an included 2 GB microSD card (supports up to 32 GB cards). Images and video can be viewed when connecting it to a computer running Windows 7, XP, or Vista using the included USB 2.0 cable. Rechargeable battery provides up to 30 minutes of operation from a one-hour charge via USB. Includes wrist lanyard. 1 1/8" L x 1" W x 1 1/16" D. (1/2 oz.) Images: Images are recorded in a standard Jpeg format. The KMPlayer included with the camera is only for video editing. Item 81584http://www.hammacher.com/Product/Default.aspx?sku=81584&promo=search&query=jy-81584 Price $29.95 We regret that this item is no longer available – Bummer… :( This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ […]

Almost from the first day of Google+ I have been involved with this great Critique…
Almost from the first day of Google+ I have been involved with this great Critique group – we went from just people to a page to hastags to now a soon to be massive community of critiquers. Come and join us! Submit you work to the correct category and get the feedback you need to grow as a photographer Rules are outlined below – we try to keep it simple: Behind the Lens Critique group was founded by +Colby Brown  in the Beta stages of Google+ Since then we have worked with a great team to try to provide our members with information that can help them to become better photographers.   Please take note of the following rules: If you post a photo to this community, it means that you are asking for critque.  Critique is not given to make you feel bad – but to help you.  If you do not wish to receive critique – do not post it here. If you wish to receive critique, it is a good idea for you to give critique as well.  It's a two way street, and by giving critique to others, you will be more likely to receive it […]

I love waking up to posts complaining about communities and how people's lives will never be the same now and it's the end of the world and 2012 is already here….. It's basically 3 days old people….. I would not be here if the community did not change and upgrade often, and I know it will not be right every time but Google does listen to us and that is proven… If you like to live in a world of no good change and limited usefulness go over to facebook… Telling everyone in your circles to not invite you to communities is anti social this is a social network. Then if you do not like it the door is over there….. Sometimes you need to adapt vs just complain… If we all complained less and adapted more we would solve many more issues in much more than this FREE social network… Do not be surprised if you get un followed by some based on your complaints that are just rants and not crafted in a way to start a discussion about how to fix the issue vs just whining about how awful your life is now….

This is a great way to ask the people that wear the badge questions and get real answers.. thou I have to say, reality sometimes is a harsh mistress and the real answers might not be exactly what you wanted to hear.. but the truth hurts sometimes..
