Friday Fix-It : 02

September 30, 2011 | Miscellaneous

Yipee it’s Friday!

I’ve got another Fixer-upper for you today.. I hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend, see you Monday :)

This was me attempting to take a cool ‘in-action’ photo of my new travel wallets. I was on my own, so it was just me, the tripod, and the 10 second timer on the camera. Here’s how it went down: Set the camera, press the button down, frantically run from behind the camera, throw oneself on the chair, try to look natural and relaxed like you’re in an airport waiting for your flight.. all before the click of the camera. I must say, it’s a lot easier if there’s someone to help you!

Recipe (using RadLab):

Lights On 46%
The 600 81%
Divine Light 37%
+ Contrast 42%

Friday Fix-It : 01

September 16, 2011 | Photography

Even though I don’t consider myself a photographer, I really love taking photos! I get such satisfaction out of taking a great shot and knowing it was all me.

Something else I love? Photoshop Actions :)

I’m certainly no hot-shot at Photoshop either, so Actions have become my best friends. For anyone interested, a simple google search will turn up plenty of free actions, and also plenty you can buy. I’ve been using Totally Rad Actions for a while now, and have just started using RadLab, which I can’t recommend highly enough! Talk about a great idea :)

So because I’m still learning, and I hate to learn alone, I thought I’d post my action ‘Recipes’ every now and then for anyone else out there that’s interested in seeing what actions can do!
