Dreaming To Be A Famous Photographer

@Master Agx03

thank you sa in depth insight about color calibration and stuff, like ICC profiles, I usually see those profiles in monitors/adapter driver settings and Photoshop but didn't bother to check what the heck was that..

I also see those advertisement on monitor-printer calibration devices pero parang mahal kasi since hobby lang nman ito, unless pinagkakakitaan na yung mga shots at least may balik yung mga pundar mo hehehe

 

 

anyways here's my not so latest shots here while i was attending a party here at zouk KL.

hello everyone!

 

question lang, ano kaya magandang dslr na pang beginner lang? para lang makuha ba yung "feel" ng pagiging photographer, kumbaga pang hobby lang...

 

pati yung price...

 

thank you!

Hello guys,

Any advice on taking pictures during mid-day (too bright light), can anybody share some settings?

 

*newbie lang po, wala pang masyadong alam.

 

Thanks in advance.

Is there any major differences, thereby advantages and disadvantages of one over the other, between the "Spider" puck-type (Colorvision Spyder) and the "Pen-type" (Huey Pantone) calbrators?

I am in the process of aquiring H/W and S/W for calibrating my LCD, printer and scanner and would greatly appreciate any inputs to help me make a wise decision? Thanks!

 

I'd look at both and pick the one that's easier to use for you. Fro the most part, both work just as well as the other, and given the color gamut of most monitors, scanners and printers, the differences will be small and largely unnoticed. One experiment you might want to run is to see what your monitor, scanner and printer do when they encounter out-of-gamut colors - do they truncate the data and give you false colors? Do they peg to the closest reproducible color? Do they overrun and cause sever artifacts (I saw one system many years back that did this - the designer just assumed EVERYTHING would be in-gamut and did not comprehend the fact the nature is unpredictable.)

Appreciate the reply. Will do just what you recommended Cheers!

Not hard to make one yourself. All it takes is a few lights (go to Ace hardware and buy the halogen work lights), a piece of flexible material for the background (a nice, clean, not wrinkled bedsheet works just fine), some other sheets or white cloth to hang in front of the lights to diffuse the light a bit. Some large pieces of cardboard that you stretch some aluminum foil over to use as reflectors. And a sheet of flat black material (some mat board works just fine) to act as a light absorber if you need to light one side but not reflect light over to the other side. Voila! You have your own table top lighting setup!

 

Get creative, guys. You DON'T have to buy everything. A lot of what you need is just at your fingertips. For example, I have always used a (clean!) white handkerchief as a diffuser for my flash so that shadows are not too harsh. Cheap, easy, handy - what more can you ask for?
