Retrospect studios launches new website
Wednesday, 6 June 2007 @ 11:14
Timothy and Heidi Uhl of Retrospect Studios have launched a new website for their wedding photography business. They have some beautiful work. I would recommend browsing their galleries.
Their new site was designed by Timothy, who is also a designer and web developer and is currently working for Red Olive Design in South Jordan. Other work has taken Timothy to Microsoft and Doug Crouch Photography, as an assistant servicing clients such as America West Airlines, Fender Guitar, and Arizona Mist. In addition to personal interests such as the internet, scuba diving, mountain biking, fishing, and cooking, he has won Web Development and Travel and Tourism DEX Utah State CDC awards, and is a member of the Utah Advertising Federation, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and the Salt Lake College Marketing Program Advisory Committee.
Thanks, Cameron, for the news.
Stock Photo Sites | Favorites?
Wednesday, 11 April 2007 @ 9:53I tend to favor Veer and Jupiter Images for stock. What other places are you all using? I like the stock imagery that Dave Groom and company use at Novell. I assume that includes the guys at Axis 41 as well. Sometimes it seems so hard to find the right stock – in the past I’ve taken a lot of the photography needed myself just to get the exact thing for the project.
Connoisseur of fine abstract desktop pictures
Tuesday, 10 April 2007 @ 14:00I concider myself a connoisseur of fine abstract desktop pictures. I bounce back and forth between images and a solid gray background, but always return to my collection. I do not like raw photographs as they are distracting and am very picky about what makes the cut.
Here is an image of thumbnails of the images in my current rotation (I have them set to cycle every thirty minutes). I like them to be fairly simple: repeating patterns, solid colors, or blurred images. I have collected these over the years during my jaunts across internet. Does anyone know of any good sources for more images like these?
Equipment Call | What Kind Of Glass?
Wednesday, 4 April 2007 @ 15:15What’s everyone using out there? I still use my Canon 10D and love it. I’ve replaced the shutter once already and have probably close to 100K clicks. I’ve used the 5D a bit too and played with the 20D and 30D. I’m using the Canon Rebel XT here at work. I guess I’m a canon fan.
My fav lens for portraits and weddings is the 70-200mm IS 2.8L.
I have the 35mm 1.4L prime on my body 70% of the time.
My fav stylized lens is my 15mm Fisheye. I use it all the time. Can be fun for portraits too.
Anyone using the Fred Miranda forums?
