You might not particularly notice it the first time you see the photo above, but once I point it out, you won't be able to miss it: my skin has a decidedly green tint.

質が悪い蛍光灯を使うと、肌は緑ぽいになってしまう。

This is a classic side effect of fluorescent lighting not specifically designed for photography, which is apparently what Stéphane and I used during one of our portraiture practice sessions.

Unfortunately, I had bought bulbs that were specifically advertised as "for photography", sold and branded by a company that makes photo-studio lighting equipment. I simply got ripped off. )-:

I'd bought Gorgeoust (the company's name) "Super [...]

My previous post presented 15 different versions of the same portrait photo, concentrating on the technical side of the wide breadth of processing that I could achieve with Lightroom.

Prior to publishing that article, I'd asked my partner-in-portraiture-crime and the photographer of that shot, Stéphane Barbery, to come up with his own interesting versions of the photo. He doesn't care for the photo and so his normal processing on it would simply be to delete it, but explained that I was working on my own many versions and wanted his interpretations for comparison, so he kindly took a shot at [...]

A week ago, I posted about another portraiture practice session with Stéphane Barbery, but then I lost my computer to the repair shop for two days. I've gotten it back, but have yet to look at the photos of me that he took, beyond the first two photos.

I've not looked beyond the first two photos because I've been busy.... such as with the new Lightroom plugin that I released yesterday, and with another portraiture/lighting practice session on Monday with Stéphane... but the main impediment to me looking at the photos has been my Lightroom curiosity with the second shot [...]

I've just released a new Lightroom Plugin, "Creative Commons", which allows you to inject license information into exported copies of images that you want to release via a Creative Commons license.

クリエイティブ・コモンズ・ライセンス対応のアドビLightroomのプラグインを開発しました。

The plugin is avaialble here:      Jeffrey’s "Creative Commons" Lightroom Plugin

That adds to the thirty-something other plugins available on my Lightroom Goodies page.

My previous post showing some photos from Nagoya Station a couple of years ago brought to mind that I'd taken the shot above from a train while passing through Nagoya Station some years prior to that, on a shinkansen (bullet train) trip to Tokyo to visit a friend.

I remembered the shot, but I had no idea when it had been, but with Lightroom's Map module and many years of having geoencoded my photos, I could easily find the one other shot in my library that had been taken at Nagoya Station, and so here we are. (Prior to Lr4, [...]
