Changed it up with black nylons and sneakers. Had to come out of them later though as the temp rose above 90, whew!
I decided to try a full photo workflow on my phone since my computer is unavailable at the moment. Precision cropping is very difficult with my fat finger technique. Other than that, I'm pleasantly surprised by the range of functionality in the Adobe Lightroom Mobile app.
My Digital Tools for Photographers seminar tour (presented by Apple) kicked off today with a stop at the Henry's School of Imaging. More than 35 people attended the three hour session, which showcased Macintosh hardware and software, including Aperture 1.1, the new professional photo workflow software from Apple. Another session is scheduled at the Henry's school tomorrow, April 26, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
More seminars are also scheduled throughout Toronto and southern Ontario for May and June. Admission is free but pre-registration is required. Check seminars.apple.com for dates and locations.
Some useful links from today's seminar:
Apple Aperture professional photo workflow software and iLife '06 portfolio tools.
iView MediaPro photo and digital media cataloguing software.
UPDIG Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines for professional standards photo production and workflow.
controlledvocabulary.com/ for naming, keywording and metadata info for photographers.
The Dam Book for digital asset management for photographers.
The Mediaworks Meetup online forum for photographers and mediamakers.
The FlickrFotoForum group on flickr.com.
In the coming weeks I will post some of the seminar content in the flickrfotoforum for flickr friends who can't make it to one of the live seminars, and answer questions about digital workflow in this thread. So ask way!
So this is actually kind of fun I guess. This is my C41, color film workflow so far. It's been a bit of trial and error trying to maintain a consistent 102F for 3.5 min.
This is how I do it so far. Put water in this pot just enough to cover the 250ml of liquids in the measuring cups. Put pot on stove with flame on high to get a good rolling boil. Once it gets boiling, reduce flame to medium. When the temp in cups gets to about 95F, turn off heat otherwise the temp gets too hot and it takes longer to cool off than to heat up. Remove cups from water when they reach 102F. First step is just water for 1 min to heat up film and tank. This helps maintain temp for developer. 2nd, developer for 3.5 min. Developer will cool to about 95F in that amount of time which isn't good. So I put the tank in the water pot in between agitations. Keeps the temp from falling too fast. 3rd step is the bleach/ fix (blix) for 6.5 min. The good thing is that you can be between 95 and 105F for this step. 4th is wash for 1 min followed by stabilizer for 1.5 min. Done!
Also, I have always used Kodak black and white developers like HC110, D76 and Xtol for b&w film. To shake things up a bit and keep it interesting, I got some Rodinal. Never used it before and still haven't. Good times. This is definitely a labor of love.
Update: Roll number 3 following this method turned out some funky greenish colors on Portra 160. Not sure why. I'll keep this photo updated.
This view shows the various stages of my scenery building. Cardboard strips fill in the space between fascia, track, and backdrop. These strips are covered with drywall tape, which I then paint tinted plaster of paris over. After a couple of coats, or however many I think are needed, static grass and other foliage is added.
I got inspired into some intense nerding this week. The above is a peek into the results. For more, check out the writeup on my blog.
Capsule summary: you can make an image have pretty much any histogram you like, with a little perl code—even a histogram that resembles the image itself. What you see here is:
1. An unaltered image of Miami.
2. The histogram of that image.
3. A new desired histogram made by tracing the silhouette of the skyline in the source image.
4. An altered version of the source image, which has the desired histogram.
Man was that fun to pull off.
When a physician sees a person with 10 or 20 medications and they need to do renewals that will be expiring before the next visit, I can take some mental effort to get it alright and avoid unnecessary phone calls asking for renewals prior to the next visit.
These are fairly typical steps in the process of doing that renewal review and completion.
Take a breath & pause, press the shutter, work on it some more & post it, hope that people see what you see #passion #skill #hardworkpaysoff

Ah how I miss leopard. Lion is super annoying.
