Portrait session with Karen

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 9:28 pm Posted in portrait Filed under: , ,

I just finished editing shots from a photo shoot I did with Karen-current UC Berkeley student and grad school applicant extraordinaire.

And I’ve been playing with a cool piece of equipment that I recently got-an Alien Bees Ringflash. These shots were lit with the ringflash at various settings.

While I can’t say I’ve completely mastered the use of ringflash, I think the results I’ve been getting so far are pretty good.

And getting someone as photogenic as Karen to model for you doesn’t hurt!

Adventure brings me right back to my childhood and it’s currently available free on the iPhone/iPod Touch in the iTunes App Store! Anyone who used to play the Atari 2600 and owns an iPhone or iPod Touch will need no further explanation.

“Adventure basically pioneered the action-adventure genre of games, and that though its art is spare and its noises are little more than bleeps and bloops, both are classic and coated with pure nostalgia.” – TUAW.

CNN – stop calling it a hologram

Sunday, November 9, 2008 1:57 pm Posted in misc

You may have seen CNN’s election night coverage where they beamed in some ‘holograms’ (clip above). Well, it wasn’t really a hologram, but you probably knew that. For it to have really been a hologram, the 3D image would have had to have been projected into space, right there in front of Wolf Biltzer. Instead, he was just looking at nothing but a red dot and a remote video feed was switched in with the on air feed.

What about the blue Star Wars like edge around the image? That was added in by CNN for effect.
