  • Cinema with a Twist….

    The Toronto Strobist Group got together again at Ryerson. We decided to leave the studio alone and congregated instead in the Eaton’s Lecture Theater — a 199 seat theater style lecture hall — to shoot our Cinema with a Twist theme. Here is a sampling…..more pics on flickr set.

  • More Siggraph Madness….Is anything real nowadays?….

    More crazy image-enhanced video rendering papers from University of Washington being presented at Siggraph08. I just can’t get enough of these new applications of combining crappy video and some still frames to produce eye popping results. Most of the experiments in this video were done using a standard video camera and a hi-res still camera.…

  • Couple of pics from the TSG Album Cover shoot…..

    Although this happened a little while back I’ve finally got around to posting it. These are a couple of concepts shots we had for the TSG (Toronto Strobist Group) Album Cover on July 26th. The idea behind it was to shoot using daylight as fill light and strobes as key/hair lights.

  • Dew Drops….

  • Kraak and Smaak’s visual flipbook feast

    This brand new Kraak and Smaak video is just too cool. Makes me want to do some flipbooking of my own. Great visuals and well fantastic music to boot…..enjoy :-).

  • Pictomio….Image Viewer with class

    I don’t do this often, but this program actually proves that with a little bit of extra UI work, windows programs can look as good (if not better) than their OSX counter parts. Pictomio — which is a free btw — is a software application for managing, categorizing, searching, and archiving photos and other media…

  • Holidays, 1stopoflight.com and I’m back in the Studio…..

    We’re having a extended long weekend, and I was working on my new photography site — 1stopoflight.com — when the studio bug bit me :-). Yeah everything was happy, I was customizing my new tumblr based photography site, when a couple of ideas started running through my head. Cassette Tapes, you know those magnetic beasts…

  • 1stopoflight.com is here….

    Well I finally broke down and did it. My new Photography site can be found hosted on tumblr at 1stopoflight.com. I’m using a modified museum theme by Paul Giacherio.The nice thing about having the site on tumblr is that I can host the physical photos on yahoo’s flickr.com and just link them into 1stopoflight.com‘s pages.…

  • TinEye Image Finger Printing Technology….Find out who’s stealing your images

    Just came across Idée’s new baby, TinEye. Have you ever wondered why it is that you can’t just go to google images (or similar image search engine) and look for images based on image content and not tags, names and such. Well it’s because it’s damn hard to do and frankly until now I haven’t…
