Recent Happenings...

Sat Nov 29, 2008, 12:43 AM
As you'd know if you watch my deviations, I had a shoot with Jesi :iconjesi86: a while back. It all started after I was messing around in Photoshop and discovered the Filter/Pixellate/Halftone filter. The idea of a comic book came to me almost instantly, and I set about working on developing a technique. After I got it, I spoke to Jesi, and she liked the idea, so we arranged a day to do the shoot (I was terrified of having to cancel if the weather was bad), and the rest is history. Jesi's an absolute blast to work with. She knows what she's doing, she's funny and she's someone you can chat to. If you're in the Sydney area and need a model, it'd be hard to go wrong with Jesi.

On a related note, I'll put together a tutorial on the technique I used to create the comic book effect if there's interest. Nevermind the fact that I just found out this morning an easier way to do it... I'll put both ways in if I write a tutorial.

And I finally got sick of lugging my dSLR kit around with me everytime I was in the mood to get some photos while out, so I caved in and got myself a Canon G10. A nice camera, with good manual controls, but at the end of the day, it's still a compact. Still, a truly excellent compact. Although I can't help feeling that if they had given it 10 or 12 megapixels instead of the 14.7 it has, the high-ISO noise would be much better... Who needs almost 15 megapixels from a compact?

Oh, and I got a 300 gig portable external hard drive for my laptop as well, since I'm doing most of my computer stuff on here now. Comes with backup software too. :)
