Having Fun with Photoshop: Superimposing

May 28, 2007

Here’s a neat tip from yours truly on my method of superimposing. This post specifically covers superimposing your face on top of another, but it lays out the basics of superimposing virtually anything you can imagine as the sky is the limit when working with Photoshop.

Phones I Would Consider Purchasing

May 25, 2007

Lately there’s been quite a lot of discussion of mobile phones in the blogosphere. There’s a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming release of the iPhone in the US, talk of new technologies being implemented into smartphones such as Mobile GPS, and Motorola releasing the next version of their successful RAZR phone, the RAZR 2. Although I would love to have a smartphone, it’s just not practical for me to own one (high priced monthly plans and lack of needing to email on the go deter me from justifying me purchasing one). The phones I’d consider purchasing are ones such as the RAZR 2, basic with a little bit of multimedia functionality to help keep me amused when bored.


3 Photography Tips I Found Useful

Yesterday I went to a BBQ at Bowness Park. It sounded like a fun event, so I brought along my Canon EOS 20D not knowing what to expect.

Throughout the day, I found these tips I’ve learned from various sources to be really really useful. These are also geared towards intermediate digital camera owners (break out of automatic mode if you haven’t done so already!)

3 Useful Dashboard Widgets

May 14, 2007

Dashboard WidgetsEver since the inclusion of Dashboard in Mac OS X Tiger, thousands of third-party widgets have been created to this point. Some of them useful, some of them quite pointless. So far, 6 have kept their stay on my Dashboard, two (Junior Mint, MAMP) of which were complementary widgets that were a part of other pieces of software, so I won’t be counting those ones. See the list after the jump.


Meteora

What started off as a little fiddling around in Photoshop with a photo of fireworks, suddenly turned into creating a wallpaper of one of my favorite video games.
