More Creative Lighting With Olympus
More Creative Lighting With Olympus
My example of the day demonstrates how flash can improve your photography in creative ways. In this image, I shot the lucky cat at a very high shutter speed of 1000/s with a flash to give it a more dramatic effect. The other example was taken just using the available light in the room.
Shooting in manual mode helps you override the automatic exposure that would normally be selected by the…

Olympus In Low Light At a micro four thirds shooter, I often get sass for my inability to take photographs in low light situations due to the amount of "noise" that would be introduced to my images.
Nalzok Dev Update
We’re hard at work getting the initial functionality written for our upcoming game. We haven’t decided on a real title yet, so for now we’re calling it Nalzok internally. We have certain functional things like the menu, assent handling, mapping, walking, basic mouse/touch interactions, etc. We have plenty of needs and not a lot of people working on this project, but I’m confident that with time,…

Creative Lighting With Olympus
Creative Lighting With Olympus
The example today shows how much of a difference flash can make in your photography when you want to achieve a creative effect. The top image uses 2 flash guns that are both capable of high speed sync. The background flash was fitted with a snoot and a blue color gel, the front fill flash with a snoot as well but no color gel was added.
The camera was set to manual mode to allow us full control…

Uninteresting Camera Information
Whenever I look at camera gear reviews, I’m greatly annoyed by certain pieces of information that I feel is unnecessary to talk about when discussing modern lenses. In my view, the criteria below serves only as filler and results in a complete waste of both my and others time.
1. Lens Distortion
I can understand how distortion can be a real problem when using old vintage glass, but why do we…

Unobvious Advantages Using Olympus Micro Four Thirds
Unobvious Advantages Using Olympus Micro Four Thirds
In spite of all the chatter going around about the obvious advantages to the MFT system (light weight, common features), I want to point out some things that others seem to neglect mentioning (at least in the videos on YouTube).
1) Pretty Amazing TTL Flash System
Olympus has a few tricks up their sleeve when compared to other flash systems. Using the standard clip on flash and an Olympus Fl-600R,…

Black Widow by Mark Austin Via Flickr: Shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 using a vintage Olympus OM 50mm f/1.4 lens. Mix of both off camera flash with gold color gels and ambient light.
My trackpad
So a confession: I pretty much got the Yoga because I really like the keyboard. One thing I discovered with horror after I’d used it a little bit: I don’t like the trackpad. It just… feels… wrong. Frictiony. Like I’m scraping my finger across the surface. I’ve been plugging in a USB mouse every time I use it.
I now have a ludicrous solution:
Not at all attractive, but WOW it feels better!
I have the same touchpad on my Y50-70. I just set it to auto-disable when I connect an external mouse on my Gentoo install.
Building A Flickr Portfolio
Building A Flickr Portfolio
I started constructing a small portrait portfolio on Flickr. This will always have single photos of people but the scope is no limited to “normal” portraits. I’ll include samples of cosplayers, random strangers, etc.
You can find the small collection of photos here:

Why I switched from the Canon 5D Mark III to Olympus OM-D cameras
Why I switched from the Canon 5D Mark III to Olympus OM-D cameras
I’ve always enjoyed street photography and candid snapshots of things but I never really felt safe roaming about with the Canon 5D Mark III by myself. I often worried too much about standing out — getting both good and bad attention but of course all I really cared about was the bad. The worst case scenario I had running through my head daily was the possibility of being mugged and losing a…

Make the Windows cmd.exe work similar to unix shells
I’ve been using *nix systems for so long that it feels like a complete pain in the ass whenever I have to open a cmd.exe program in windows to perform some sort of command line action. I searched around on ddg and figured out a way to make tasks in cmd.exe a little less painful by combining 2 applications:
Console2
Clink
This combination of apps makes me feel a little less frustrated now that I…

Updated Website
I finally decided to ditch the apple theme and use something a little more practical.
So far I only have one bug that I know of… Some of my posts don’t show any text.
After some testing, it seems like this has to do with the posts being assigned to…

Upgrade PostgreSQL From 9.0 to 9.1
I wrote this script to upgrade some PostgreSQL database servers that I happen to maintain. I work with a lot of virtualized databases so the need for upgrading these things happens quite often.
After much testing, I decided to post this script to my…
