roundflash ring flash adapter

Tested friend's roundflash ring flash adapter. Folds to small size and has surprisingly big surface when assembled. Doesn't weight much. Light looks good based on taking few test photos. Sample photo after the link.

Zombie walk 2013

Some photos from Zombiewalk Helsinki 2013. Over 340 zombies walked through Helsinki. Again some really creative and shocking costumes.

painting

In addition of painting pixels with Photoshop, been also very busy painting the new home. More blog updates to come sooner or later :)

Lightroom 5 Beta

Downloaded the Lightroom 5 beta version for laptop to test it out. New version comes with added useful features like smart previews, radial gradient (used in photo above), healing brush, automatic straightening tool etc. Smart preview can be really useful if you want to edit files with low capacity laptop HD and keep the space consuming RAW originals somewhere else until they are really needed. Whether the upgrade is really needed depends more of your camera purchases in future. If you want to work with RAW files of your brand new camera, better to keep on updating LR & PS.

You can download the beta and use it until the product expires on June 30, 2013 from here.
