How To: Fully Colour Balance Images With A CBL Lens
Ready To Colour Balance: My CBL Lens Imported Into Adobe Lightroom 3.
The ability to record a high degree of colour accuracy; from camera to digital editing and printing, is a vital aspect in the production of my photographic work. In February I attended several seminars at the Adobe stand during Focus On Imaging and gained some priceless (and free) advice on the importance of colour management.
If you intend to colour balance your photographs effectively you’ll need to purchase a display calibration kit (I use a Spyder 3 Pro) and a CBL lens. For the purpose of this photography tutorial you’ll also need access to the photo management and editing software Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Please note that your photographs need to be shot with the camera raw image format.
The Great British Holiday: Blackpool
The BBC documentary 'Great British Holiday: Blackpool’ on BBC iPlayer.
(Available until 12:44am Thursday 5th August 2010)
“It’s a fight in which billions are at stake, ministers are derided, partners fall out and transvestites have a key role.”
Last night I watched the documentary ‘Great British Holiday: Blackpool’ on BBC iPlayer. Directed by Patrick Forbes, this film offers ‘behind-the-scene’ access to Blackpool Council’s bid to land the UK’s first super casino during the summer of 2006.
April & Doug's Wedding Photography
Last month I spent a weekend in the beautiful surroundings of Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria photographing April and Doug’s wedding. This commission was a departure from my usual photographic work and the first time that I’ve agreed to take the role of “wedding photographer” for a number of years. There were several photographs outlined several weeks prior as “must-have” shots, but other than that I was given complete freedom to capture and document the memories of the day as it unfolded.
