New Articles: Lightroom mobile 1.1 and Adobe Photoshop Mix
Coinciding with the latest announcements from Adobe, two articles of mine were published this morning. Lightroom mobile 1.1 For my first article at Lynda.com, I looked at Lightroom mobile 1.1. On the surface it appears to be an incremental update that delivers iPhone compatibility (which Adobe promised was coming when Lightroom mobile came out in ...
Bard Rescue
Sprung from the castle’s jail, the Bard leaves with his rescuers. But are they as friendly as they let on? This is a photo from my latest book, in a chapter about making stop-motion animations. It was 2 am and I felt like being creative. If you like the work I do, please consider signing ...
Photographers and Fort Builders
Photographers make good use of equipment. A light stand makes a great central post for a living room fort. (It has a smaller footprint than a tripod.) I recommend all parents take up photography!
GarageBand Jammin’
My pal Jeff Tolbert jamming with GarageBand on the iPad as amp. Part of a photo shoot for my next book. If you like the work I do, please consider signing up for my low-volume newsletter that I use to announce new projects, items, and giveaways that I think my readers would be interested in.
Multnomah Falls
Working on a big, seemingly impossible deadline, so I’m taking occasional refuge away from words and processing photos. During the Oregon Wonders Photo Workshop I attended last fall, one of our stops was beautiful Multnomah Falls (and breakfast at the lodge there). It’s hard to find a shot that hasn’t been captured by thousands of ...
Bentley Ad Shot on iPhone 5s, Assembled on iPad
Bentley’s new luxury car includes iPads built into the back seating area (which use Bluetooth keyboards and rise automatically—perfect for the executive blogger who’s stuck in traffic while being chauffeured). To keep with the spirit, the company shot the commercial below using iPhone 5s and assembled the footage using those built-in iPads. A quick behind-the-scenes ...
Snoqualmie Falls Sunset
For Mother’s Day, we went up to Snoqualmie Falls (about an hour’s drive from Seattle) and had dinner with other family members at the Salish Lodge (it was delicious). Afterward, I did some shooting of the falls themselves as the sun went down. It’s not dramatic in this photo, but the lodge and the cliff ...
Backgammon in Blue
At first I was struck by the iPad mini, looking even more mini than usual in the middle of the table at a coffee shop I frequent. You can’t argue with having a pocketable device that can play whatever game you want, in this case backgammon. And the fact that the iPad’s case matched the ...
Nicolesy on Choosing Photo Gear for Travel
Nicole S. Young (nicolesy) posted a great short article on using Lightroom’s metadata filters to help you choose which camera gear to pack for your next trip: Using Lightroom to Select Lenses for Travel. Essentially, look at which lenses you used the most on previous trips, and then pack just those, not your entire collection. ...
