The New Year

No Comments »

Hope everyone had a great holiday! I have been busy with work but I want to start to update this again. I have been keeping up with my photography but more so sculpting.I've been learning steadily with pixelogic's sculptris as my goal this year is to buy zbrush for some personal statues ready for 3d printing. I'll upload some of them in a later post.

I'm currently on my new toy! (iPad 2). Going to try and review some art + photo apps. Just testing the functionality in the browser first! Here's an image using free/on sale camera app Snapseed with one of my own photos;





update: uploading images didn't work from the ipad itself (at least the formatting). Nodoubt there will be something which can be used instead for it. I'll look in to more upload ways as well as other apps.

Cobh

Some of the sights around Cobh (this place was the Titanic's final stop before embarking and crashing).


Below is a test HDR B+W Panorama. I used free stitching software Hugin to put it together (from 5 images). I am working on the full colour one at the moment but just wanted to test the software. Click to see an enlarged version.



Filters used: Circular Polariser, ND8 Grad + Neutral grey ND 8 Cokin filters

Sketches via Scanner

Just finally set up our printer/scanner. Scanned a couple of the most recent sketches I've done. Here they are;


Above: An old man, reference from an old photography book 'The book of portrait Photography'
Below: A happy aged Asian man, reference from 'City of Darkness' (a book about Kowloon Walled City)


Finally I did another little test before heading to the coast tomorrow (weather permitting) of the filters with the circular polariser. I am still getting quite a bit of lens flare which isn't too hard to take out of shot if needed but not really desired.

A quickly knocked up HDR is below, I've not taken any lens flare or screen marks out just to show the issues I am getting currently. They'll be sorted tomorrow though.
