It's the goal of every photographer to do as much "in camera" as possible such as cropping, exposure, lighting etc. The more you do in camera the less time you spend in photoshop which means the faster you can produce your image. However many times, even after the extra in-camera-effort, the photo still needs a little love in photoshop to make it just right.
Our junk drawers were outta control. Since we moved in to our new house the 4 drawers on the island in the kitchen were a mess. Sarah and I went drawer organizer shopping only to find them to be a little overpriced.
I'm posting my Palm Treo 650 woes with Opera Mini, the need for the IBM WebSphere JVM that Palm no longer offers because Palm is (in my opinion) going down the tubes. It took some digging, I got it working finally and here is how I did it.
Why not spice up your blog or photoblog by displaying a preloading image while your main photo is loading? This is by no means a new technique, I've been doing it for quite a few years and you see it all over the web now. A few years back I had a short DIY on how to do this but it got moved somewhere. So, here it is again!

Back in 2006 I shared how I made my own ring light with supplies from the local hardware store. I made a new ring light recently and wanted to share how I did it. This new version uses less power and looks good enough to take in front of a client/model (the old one was ugly).
New Ring Light Tutorial ComingI built a new and improved ring light. This is a sample photo of me, again at 3 am after I finished it. The new light will be more portable, not as dangerous, not as hot and more environment friendly (104 total watts instead of 800 watts). Look for that tutorial soon.
Rebuilding a machine or reloading the operating system is a major pain. I thought I'd detail a few things I did in my latest rebuild. There's a few helpful tips along with a few helpful programs. Check it out.
I'm behind the times, please forgive me, but I'm just now discovering how friggen cool (and friggen free) Google Analytics really is. It's a free, killer ap that lets you track your site traffic.
The following is a tutorial on how to create an extension tube / reverse mount for a standard 18-55mm lens using common plumbing supplies found at your local hardware store.
Time for a ghetto tutorial. Using a CD jewel case we'll make a nice gel light.
Building a light box is pretty easy stuff. A light box is particularly useful for product photography where you need a nice white background. Many people find that their products will actually sell faster with a more professional looking photo. Here you'll find a step by step on how to build your own DIY light box.
