Aperture 3

February 9th, 2010

I downloaded a trial copy of Apple’s Aperture 3 today. After playing around with it for a few minutes, I gave up because it’s damn slow! I don’t really have an amazing computer, so i guess that’s the reason for the poor performance. At least in Adobe Lightroom I can actually work at a reasonable speed. I guess I’ll be sticking to Lightroom until I buy a new Mac. Actually I’ll probably just always stick to Lightroom anyway because I like the way that it works and the way the interface is laid out. Aperture is all very ‘iPhoto-ish’ to me, and I have never enjoyed iPhoto.

It’s Been A While…

December 15th, 2009

I was going through my Lightroom catalog and stumbled across this photo. It was shot at a temple somewhere in Cambodia. I don’t remember the name of it. Actually, I don’t think I ever knew the name of it. It’s always cool to browse through the archives and discover images that I didn’t really take note of during my initial run-through.
That’s all folks! I like to make pictures, not words…

KWFBP Shoot – May 18

May 27th, 2009

Some pictures from a shoot with Kind Words From Bad People. It took place down at Iona Beach on a wet and miserable, but sadly typical Vancouver day. We all toughed it out and ended up having some fun too–well at least I enjoyed it.

I used a speedlight on a stand with shoot-through umbrella on 1/2 power i think, triggered with Pocketwizard Plus II’s. I own a Canon 430exII, but I may have used a friend’s  Nikon SB-800 in these shots because I remember having problems with my flash.

In term of post-processing, I created a black/white/red theme in order to keep in line with the kind of look that the band wanted. I did my take on the classic b+w with coloured accent thingy. The fact that they each wore something red makes it work better, and really helped in keeping it thematically consistent. I also used the logo they sent me and made it follow the whole b+w with red accent idea.

Well, enough blabbering…
