Don't make it bad.
Feels like ages since I've had the camera out! Been really tied up lately, and the shit weather of Pennsylvania lately doesn't help.
Not sure how I feel about this shot. Great color, but it lacks some sharpness. My Tokina really likes to test my patience with its weak focus detecting skills.
I also made some significant updates to my editing rig. So, this has been the first official sunset shot edited with the new overclocked 4790k and 16GB of 1866MHz ram!

Construction Bot - Model 42s were always very robust, reliable, and relatively affordable for many construction companies. However, what these companies didn't know, was that the CB-42s had uniquely weak CPU security, allowing the bots' behavior to be modified by a skilled programmer.
This particular bot was stripped of much of its protective armor in favor for speed and agility, and fitted for close-quarters melee combat.
The coasts in England are definitely as beautiful as those in Australia without a doubt. In fact it is hard to compare as they are very different from what we get here in Oz and to me, very beautiful in its own way. Anyway on that day, I decided to go for my photoshoot only when the sun was about to set but gosh big mistake! I did not know it was such a frickin' long steep way down to the lowest plateu from the carpark!!!! I would say a person would normally spend 20-25 mins to get to the door. To make it worse, I also did not realise that within an hour the gate of the caravan park that linked to this beach will be closed and all public vehicles must leave the premises! You should have seen me dashing down with my tripod .. at that time I wished I can turned into a ball & roll all the wat down instead lol! but seriously that's the easy part. Having to climb back up the steep slope within 10 mins, that nearly killed me! It has been such a long time since I last experienced jelly legs, overclocked pounding heart & spinning vison lol! Photography could really be worse than army bootcamp sometimes :D

Meet my computer.
Its water cooled, meaning, my CPU, Graphics Card, North bridge and South Bright (the two chips on a motherboard), get cooled by water, making it run at high speeds. CPU runs at 4.2ghz and Graphics card is also heavily overclocked, it looks cool and its extremely silent, since it doesnt have those fans to make annoying noise.
To make a small thematic diversion...
This is Tsillè. He's been genetically overclocked to several million kilohertz (kHz) and has a natural tendency to rip into pieces everything rubbery that squeaks, chase the ball and humps on almost everything that moves, regardless of the number of legs. And he's a very, very good friend of mine. Practically the best! His 3/4 maltese genes are reflected mostly in his facial expressions and temperament, other 1/4 gave him long legs and a body of a mid-size dog.
Now the photo part.
Another very good friend of mine, an articulated human being and a devoted photographer, had an idea of making few portraits of my speedy Chewbacca-sobaka and we both agreed to it. I wanted to play along and since we're setting up lights and everything, I brought my old Linhof Technika III, large format camera, eager to put to the test recently acquired sheets of Foma Retropan 320. Now, it's one thing if you're capturing shots of an overclocked doggy with a fancy digital camera and high-speed AF optics, synced with flashes through wireless controllers... it's something else if you need to persuade that doggy to stay still while you do the focusing through the ground glass, set the aperture on the lens, slide in the film cassette and then fire half a second exposure during which you manually trigger the flash bulb... which is exactly what happened to create this frame, thus some technical imperfections which couldn't possible cast a shadow on Mr model himself.
To sum things up, Tsillè had tons of biscuits and I realized this Retropan 320 isn't as messy in terms of grain and low contrast as I was expecting... probably in part due to the large negative, meaning I'll give it another go as soon as possible, maybe even on folks.
Linhof Technica III, large format technical camera & Nikkor-W 5.6/135mm lens (aperture set at f/8).
Foma Retropan 320, 4x5" B&W negative, shaken in stock Microphen (diluted 7 months ago and used for 4 negatives before this process), using SP-445 developing tank at 20C for 14 minutes and 3-4 flips every 30 seconds. Do note that massive developing chart suggests 10-11 minutes processing time which I've extended to compensate exhaustion of the solution.
Apart from few dust specs removed there are no tweaks or further processing of the image in PS.
I meant to upload this photo of the algae field yesterday but it turned out that the panorama stitch of 50+ frames by Lightroom 6 had taken forever. So this morning, I tried the stitch again and removed some of the frames that were not properly focused. Still it took at least a couple of hours for Lightroom to finish the job. And this was running on my Intel Ivy Bridge overclocked at 4GHz with 32GB of DRAM.
Screenshots are taken at 3200x1800 resolution. A bit lower resolution than usual but they still look sharp and i am pretty satisfied. 3200x1800 is the resolution i am playing/testing the game. Getting around 32-35fps in exteriors and 40-45 fps in interiors with pretty heavy overclocked 980Ti and i7 6700K. Very playable for me. Btw, i am getting constant 60fps on 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 resolutions. i7 6700K proved to be better for heavily modded Skyrim than any other CPU on the market.
One more thing to say. I am stopping my work on "Fantasy Vision ENB" because i simply dont have enough time for tweaking all the individual weathers and without the multiple weather support, ENB's in general look like crap. It was a heavily tweaked Seasons of Skyrim ENB designed for ELE Weathers. It was highly influenced by older version of Electric ENB by electricsheep26354. For now, i am sticking with Dahaka's ENB which looks brilliant.
Legend of Zelda: a photographic portrait
June 2011
Nashua, NH
Photography based on the video game franchise "The Legend of Zelda"
starring Mannix as "Link"
Personal portfolio project
This is a personal photography project that I've been wanting to do for a pretty long time. I really want to focus on more personal work the next couple of years and bring it closer to my personal passions on top of my music photography (video games, comics, toys, etc).
Friends of mine have a child who looks just like Link from the Legend of Zelda game series. They dressed him up as Link for PAXEast a few months back, and I instantly knew I needed to get a photo shoot with him in gear as soon as possible.
We'll be sending these to Nintendo, who have already approached Mannix previously about making appearances as "Link" at cons.
Watch a small behind-the-scenes video from the shoot here: youtu.be/Zth_W_HKRvQ

The Matoran. Operated. Land. Excavator, or M.O.L.E for short, is a portable Onu-koro drill used for making tunnels in seconds, though if overclocked, it can begin to breakdown.

This GeForce FX5900's GPU is 2 generations older than the G71 I've posted yesterday, and was paired with a AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (overclocked to 3200+) and 2x256MB of DDR400 RAM on my first proper gaming PC I built in 2003.
The GeForce FX5900 had a hard time competing with the Radeon 9700/9800 Pro from ATi as both were faster on almost all benchmarks, but I bought the GeForce anyway, because, well, fanboy is fanboy...
This is pretty much the current iteration of my desk at my new home in college. The desk was handcrafted by a friend and is pretty much exactly what I want. Eventually I will build out either side when I manage to get a home office with a bit more room someday!

My workspace back in late 2009:
www.flickr.com/photos/42736403@N08/3934503754/in/pool-818...
After moving from the 17" and 22" to dual 22" in May 2010 and then adding the 17" back in for triple displays in October, I've finally made the jump to three 22" LCDs. The left and right panel are Acer P221Ws and the middle is an Acer AL2216W. Color is surprisingly consistent between them, the middle has just a slightly bluish tint which I can remove through callibration.
I've of course upgraded the Hackintosh that runs them as well. I've still got the Intel E6300 overclocked to 3.05GHz, but not much else is the same. In order to get dual graphics cards working with EFI injection I needed a new motherboard with dual PCIe slots, so I went with the Gigabyte GA-EP45T-USB3P with 4GB of DDR3. As far as graphics cards go, I have a 9600GT driving the middle and right panels and a 7600GT driving the left panel. The system's running 10.6.4, which I'm scared to update to 10.6.6 at risk of breaking my dual-card setup.
Other differences from the 2009 setup:
>New desk. I built this from scratch last May after getting my second 22" and realizing that I had no room left on my 4'x2' desk.
>No more laptop on my desk. Now that my desktop is a far superior machine, I keep the MacBook Pro on the dresser by my bed for late-night surfing and whatnot.
>Only one computer at my desk. I got tired of dealing with multiple machines, so I put all my resources into making the Hackintosh the best system possible, and now it does all I ask it to.
>Projector's gone. The configuration of my room doesn't really make sense for projecting. It lives in my basement now.
Oh, and the lighting. The lights behind the monitors are $6 Lowe's uplight cans with 25 watt clear globe bulbs and the light under the desk is ropelight I attached with hooks. All 3 are hooked together to an X10 module for easy on/off and dimming.
Daytime pictures will come tomorrow. I just got the 22" LCD this evening.
By the way, I'm 16 and a Junior in high school.
Aug. 2011 Update: The Hackintosh has been upgraded to an Intel Q6600 OCd to 2.61GHz, and I'm 17 now and soon to be a Senior.
Sept. 2011 Update: Hacky now has 8GB of DDR3 1333 and is OCd to 2.79GHz. Now booting of a 2x80GB RAID0 array with ~250MB/sec max read speeds. Replaced the remaining 7xxx series video card with a second 9600GT, dual cards still work perfectly, and I can now try and update to Lion since I no longer have 7xxx series cards. (On another drive of course. Never muck up a working OS X install on a Hack!)
In the next few weeks I will be gutting a defective G5 (different from the one in the photo, my mother uses that one now) and modding it to accomodate all my Hackintosh components. I will be posting a new photo once the HackinG5 is done. I am _very_ excited for the parts to come so I can build it.
Update: "PowerHac G5" is built. Pic of the internals:

Moving some things on the desk around this weekend and I'll have an updated workspace pic to post sometime next week.
The All Terrain Hover tank (otherwise known as an AT-HT) prototype was designed by Imperial scientists long ago. It was stolen by rebel soldiers who, in in their haste to escape from a small moon-shaped space station descending on them, got their overclocked hyper-drive to send them far far away from their home galaxy to the milky way before their ship crash landed on the far side off the planet the Nexus Force landed on in 2011. Before, the crew all died of extreme old age, many eons before the ship's wreckage was discovered, they set this story I've just told on a message disc for future explorers to find and relay... along with the AT-HT secure and intact in the cargo hold.
When the Nexus Force found the wrecked ship so many years later, they took the prototype tank back to base. It took a while to figure out it's drivers manual, but after a while, they got it working. They then set about making more of them, as they were impressed by it's firepower and range capabilities. So far, they've made about 15 (plus the prototype) of them for defense of their base in case a battle should occur.
I've made quite a few changes to my desk in the last few months, so it's time for a new picture.
February 2011: www.flickr.com/photos/42736403@N08/5439996103/
What's New:
Hacktinosh has been seriously upgraded and rebuilt into a modified PowerMac G5 case.
Specs:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked to 2.79GHz
Gigabyte EP45T-USB3P motherboard
8GB of PNY DDR3 1333
2x80GB HDs in RAID0
Dual 9600GTs w/512MB GDDR3 each
Running 10.6.8 flawlessly, and faster than the early Mac Pros (by a wee bit, of course)
Replaced my P.o.S. speakers with really nice 2-way Yamahas. They're amazing soundwise but rather large, not to mention the stereo receiver that powers them. I'd like to replace them with a pair of studio monitors (cheap ones of course) like the Roland MA-15D or MA-10D.
Little Changes:
Replaced wired mighty mouse with wireless
Bought a new card reader
Elevated monitors up a good 4" off the surface of the desk
Cleaned up my wiring - see here: www.flickr.com/photos/42736403@N08/6212851610/in/set-7215...

Screenshots are taken at 3200x1800 resolution. A bit lower resolution than usual but they still look sharp and i am pretty satisfied. 3200x1800 is the resolution i am playing/testing the game. Getting around 32-35fps in exteriors and 40-45 fps in interiors with pretty heavy overclocked 980Ti and i7 6700K. Very playable for me. Btw, i am getting constant 60fps on 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 resolutions. i7 6700K proved to be better for heavily modded Skyrim than any other CPU on the market.
One more thing to say. I am stopping my work on "Fantasy Vision ENB" because i simply dont have enough time for tweaking all the individual weathers and without the multiple weather support, ENB's in general look like crap. It was a heavily tweaked Seasons of Skyrim ENB designed for ELE Weathers. It was highly influenced by older version of Electric ENB by electricsheep26354. For now, i am sticking with Dahaka's ENB which looks brilliant.

I have some xbee radios from other projects and so I assembled the 'slice of pi' board and used the included xbee sockets. its all 3.3v so it just plugs and plays.
this gets connected to the internal uart, /dev/ttyAMA0. in fact, that's the default bootup console and so, if you connect another xbee to a computer, run a comm-term program (kermit, etc) you can see the bootup console messages across RF. I've been able to get from one end of the house, downstairs, to the upstairs corner. not too bad..
note the 'vga cooler' heatsink (blue) I added to the ethernet NIC chip.
power is via the 2 clip leads and comes from a decent lab supply. at peak, I see a full 1.0 amps being drawn at 5.1v.
oh, and this is the 1ghz overclocked config.

Got my Nikon D800 on Friday and I am absolutely loving it! Didn't have a ton of time over the weekend so I did some tests around town. This was my first time trying out the Nikon 16-35mm f/4.0 lens, which immediately felt "right" to me, as I love shooting wide (my Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is one of my favorite lenses on my D80).
I was in this orchard and the dynamic range was out of control, so I decided to try some HDR captures and see how they came out. I'm blown away by the dynamic range capabilities of this camera already, processing these files is a complete joy (well, aside from the processing TIME, which is bogging down my computer a bit at the moment). The tonal range is just incredible. I was also impressed with how sharp these came out, given that I was shooting handheld (my Really Right Stuff L-Bracket will be here on Wednesday).
5-exposure HDR bracketed at 1-stop, Handheld, blended in Photomatix. Additional post-processing in Lightroom 4 (which I am also loving).
Computer Note: Windows Vista, Intel Core i7 920 Overclocked to 3.2GHz, 12GB of RAM.
Processing Time Comparison:
Blending 3 10 megapixel D80 images took about 90 seconds in Photomatix.
Blending 5 36 megapixel D800 images takes about 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
