Up til now I described my photos only when they had been uploaded on DT. You know, categories, keywords, etc. I have never used that File Info dialog box in Photoshop. Until I discovered how useful that is:

|
|
The new Tamron 18-250 has just arrived, I'll be testing it for some time. As for now, only my 'how it feels in hand' impressions: solid build, very nice manual focusing, quite pleasant AF sound, and that range !
But of course its... More...

Storage.

One of the sites offering storaging services says that 'eventually all hard disc drives fail'.
Sounds serious. What will happen to all our photo files gathered on our computers? What do you do to back them up?
Here's what I do:... More...

I have just read a blog entry from Bwendy3.
Here's my advice. Take a look at this photo:
I did two things here. First, while taking it, I waited for the man to turn around so as not to see his face.
Second, in PS: the people... More...

It's my first DT anniversary today, whoa! Time flies, doesn't it. Time to look back and analyze what happened during this time.
As I look at the statistics chart, my first months were completely idle in building portfolio. I uploaded... More...

Being your own model - revisited.
posted by sebcz - 14th of september, 2007

The title of this blog clearly refers to this by Astargirl.
True, it's not easy to pose and to concentrate on the technical issues at the same time, but it's necessary sometimes. It's similar to the situation when a film director... More...

Woman reading - series
posted by sebcz - 11th of september, 2007

Sunday. Bad weather. Nothing to do, nowhere to go. Sounds like a good opportunity to try some oh-so-obvious at-home shots? Yes.
Following the strobists's 101 article about snoots, I finally made myself one. Cool stuff! I am very... More...

Rocking chair.
posted by sebcz - 11th of september, 2007
|
|
I had a thought today. Rocking chair - a piece of furniture which is so old yet still many people have them. Feels nostalgic, feels almost like from another era.
I was so amazed I saw one in my friends' house, which is rather a modern... More...

Water power plant series
posted by sebcz - 10th of september, 2007
|

I took a car trip to Żydowo, Poland, a small village famous for its water power plant. From a river three pipes go down to a lake, at the bottom there's the actual power plant.
When you go along the pipes, you can see how huge... More...

Choosing a new lens
posted by sebcz - 9th of september, 2007
|
|
Very often, in the forums, you can read a beginner's question: "What lens should I buy next? I already have a kit lens"
Well, the answer is one - if you don't know what to buy, don't buy anything. When you start to shoot more, when... More...

Second look

What I really enjoy doing is taking a second look at a batch of photos brought from a session. I am usually quite eager to process most of them right away, but, when time is short, or I pick some shots of which I think they 'stand out'... More...

Do you like improvement?
posted by sebcz - 7th of september, 2007

The title may sound strange, everyone would answer - sure, I do! But what I mean is 'home renovation'.
Well, my house is being renovated. Not the whole interior, but the most inconvenient part - hallway and bathroom. Sounds... More...

Morning wake up is at 8 AM for me, too early if you ask me but I have to travel the whole town to get to office so here comes the oh_so_hated ring of my alarm (sound)alarm clock(sound).
Then I take that five_more_minutes_in_bed time... More...

After encouraging my wife to experiment a little with shrimps (she rarely or never did it before), I had a photo opportunity to broaden my food photos collection (see my Collections in Profile page).

There are people in this world who are willing to give away their lives, their time, their whole selves to obtain the freedom and rights of their people.

My friend, Pawel, enabled a nice photo session opportunity: He and his motorbike in action. First, we went to a nearby forest to do some rides and shots, then to the sea. We were lucky to have a nice sky, although I needed to make... More...

Let me tell you, I am kinda upset - I was going to sell my Pentax kit lens (18-55) for a decent price (less than the half of retail price), still no-one wanted it (auction site).
