Bibble 5 and Aftershot Pro have a useful lens correction function that will fix the distortion created by a camera lens when a photo is taken. You won’t even recognise the distortion unless you’re looking for it but quite often it can look like straight lines are slightly bent or bulging. The animated gif above [...]
Martin, over at Photoakademie.eu created a workflow video showing how a photo was processed and eventually turned into a black and white image using Aftershot Pro. Coming from a GIMP background I used layers and layer masks but never used adjustment layers to keep changes separate. Quite an eye opener for me! Plus another demonstration [...]
It’s inevitable that photos put online will be stolen. It’s a fact of life unfortunately. People think that just because something is on a website they can use it and claim the photo is there own. Sometimes it just gets silly however. Check out this guy’s photos on photo competition site pictures2win.com. If you’ve been [...]
One of the more awkward tasks to do in the GIMP is straightening horizons. You have to manually rotate the image using that tool which always seems to be fairly hit and miss. I had hoped that GIMP 2.6 would have the “draw a line and rotate” function that Bibblepro and I think Photoshop have [...]
When: Saturday 26th of September at 10am. Where: Start at the Montenotte Hotel (map), Cork and continue into town. Who: Me, you and anyone who likes taking photographs. So, next photowalk is on the 26th. It’s a Saturday but this time it’s early in the morning at 10am. We’ll start at the Montenotte Hotel, where [...]
Woo! Redbubble are offering 15% off all framed and canvas prints until the 27th. The promotion has been running for the last few days but they only emailed everyone this morning. Grrr. Anyway, if you’re interested in a print, leave a comment on this post with the url of the photo and I’ll do my [...]
Here’s a possible route for our 2 hours photowalk around Cork today: Start at the GPO, near the big A marker above. Head south (down) to the river to Morrison’s Quay where we can shoot Holy Trinity and the river bank of the South Channel. Head west towards Sullivans Quay where we can shoot Parliament [...]
Spencer Tunick’s Irish photos might be online but you wouldn’t know it as the site is down, probably from the rush of people trying to see their neighbours or friends in the nip. Oops. Should have done a deal with Pix.ie! I did manage to grab one image off there this afternoon and Vic has [...]
On July 18th, photographers all over the world will be holding photowalks. There’s going to be events in Belfast, Dublin and Cork that day, and who knows. Might be a few more around the country by the time that day arrives! I’ve just filled in a few details on the Cork Photowalk page on the [...]
It’s about time I posted this. Months ago this photo on Flickr was spammed by a company selling “all of categories for industries and life”. I’m sure he never looked closely at the title of the image or translated it in to his local language.. Flickr Support promptly removed this individual’s comment and replied, Dear [...]
