I haven’t posted anything for nearly a month. I’ve meant to add a photo gear page, a couple of tutorials and update my portfolio. Unfortunately there just hasn’t been any time as life and wedding plans have taken over. We’re getting married on April 25th and leaving May 1st for 10 days in the Carribean, starting with 3 days in Puerto Rico and then boarding a cruise to 6 other islands. This past weekend my fiance had her pre-bridal hair consultation. The stylist forgot to tell her to bring a camera so pictures could be taken so it can be re-created on our wedding day. When I got home Saturday afternoon, I took some photos of her hair and while I had her sitting there, I took a few other shots. I had prepped them in Lightroom on Sunday and sent them through CS4 for resizing and printer profile check. I’ve been sending things off to Costco, one because of their premium printer profiles and second for cost. I sent off 4 photos of the hair, 4×6 and 1 additional 5×7, I had double prints made just because I didn’t want to walk into Costco and spend less than a $1, total cost was $1.94. The photo tech said the 5×7’s were just finishing and it would be a minute, as she was placing them in the envelope she asked if I had taken these photos. I told I had, to which she asked if I had a copyright release on file. When you submit the photos online they ask if you own the copyright, so I told her no. She had me fill one out, which made my day that someone thought this was professional enough to want a copyright release. I like the photo but I really didn’t do any retouching to it, other than WB and vignette. Here’s the photo.  Posted by Tom Adobe has released Lightroom 2.3 and Camera Raw 5.3. You should be notified of the option to download the update when you open Lightroom2.
If you export from Lightroom 2 to Photoshop CS4, you’ll also need to update your Camera Raw to 5.3 This can be done through the Update under the Help menu Posted by Tom I’ve been looking at installing an eyecup for my camera. I don’t really care for the tear drop shaped eyecups out there but after a little searching I came across an article on Ron Barbee’s photography site. The eyecup is made from Nikon parts and the best part? It fits my Canon. This should work on any Canon that uses the Canon Eb eyecup. You can always order the eyepiece adapter to check the fit, it runs about $5.00 I ordered the needed parts from Adorama (the list is down below). A few days later everything arrived and 5 minutes later, I had a new eyecup for my camera. The parts totalled about $35.00. This eyecup blocks the light and is soft and comfortable. The installation is very simple.
Here’s the part list and links to Adorama Nikon DK-3 Rubber Eyecup F/FE2/FM2/FM3 Posted by Tom Adobe has posted a PDF containg the keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom 2. I use keyboard shortcuts all the time in Lightroom, sometimes it’s the only way to access a feature such as the overlay mask in the Adjustment brush. Posted by Tom |
