The HDR Portraits & Weddings Project

Check Out My HDR Portraits Gallery:

Those of you who follow my work, know that I love HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. I’m especially fond of pushing the limits, with HDR portrait, wedding and other non standard uses. I started experimenting with HDR people shots in 2007. I also use it for nearly all of my nature work.

I have a bunch of favorites, and have finally compiled them onto one page on the Seim Photography site. If you’re intersted in HDR stop by and maybe you’ll get some ideas. I know I’m not the only one shooting HDR however. If you know of other great HDR, share them in the comments... Gavin Seim

Talking HDR on the Camera Dojo Photography Podcast

I was a guest on this weeks Camera Dojo podcast with Kerry Garrison talking about all things HDR.

We chatted about the various techniques and tools, and I shared my techniques for HDR portraits. I just listened to myself this afternoon. It felt different being on the guest end, but it was relaxing. This won’t be in the PPS podcast feed, but If you’re interested head over the Camera Dojo and give a listen. While your at it you can drop by iTunes and subscribe to their show… Gavin

Adobe Configurator Is Here:

Adobe what? Adobe Configurator. It’s a brand new program Adobe just released that’s going to change the way we interact with Photoshop. You can download it here on Adobe Labs, and learn more about it (including a video) on John Knacks blog.

There’s a lot under the hood, but in basic terms it allows you to make your own palette windows in Photoshop CS4, that can contain pretty much whatever you want. Tools, menu items, actions, even training videos embedded right in to your own little (or big) panel. They look exactly like the built in pallets. They even dock with them.

The best part is you don’t have to be a programmer to make custom panels. You open the Configurator, then drag, drop and export. I really think this is a breakthrough. This level of customization is going to change the way we work.

Our official Photshop CS4 review is coming soon, but Configurator looks so cool that I felt you should know now.

Cheap 8GB Compact Flash Cards: CPPOTW

Transcend 8GB 133x Compact Flash Card for 23 bucks (at publish time)

This weeks Cool Photo Product Of The Week is a sweet deal. Most of us use compact flash card’s in our cameras and with my new 5D MK II on order, I know I’ll be needing more of them. The price of memory just keeps coming down which is really cool.

I just picked up This Transcend 8gb card for less than 23 bucks. I’ll list it below so you can see the current price on Amazon, but these are a bargain. It’s possible to get cards slightly cheaper still, but these ones have great ratings, and you don’t have to hassle with any rebates.

If you use 4GB cards they make those too. Right now their under 15 bucks. Transcend 4GB Compact Flash
Have a great day… Gav
