So about a year ago I finally got a new(er) infrared converted camera. Panasonic Lumix G3. It has it's advantages as well as it's disadvantages. The color isn't quite the same as the old one's so it takes more time in post processing for me to figure out how to achieve my style with the infrareds. But I'll figure it out ... eventually.
My computer equipment is getting beyond dinosaur. Mac g4, that's my work horse and :( it's dying. So I need a new computer. But my life situation says a laptop is going to be way easier ... but I have very specific needs with a computer screen. No shiny screen. I cannot work on photos on a shiny screen. I get enough migraines as it is, and shiny screens make it even worse.
But I've put getting the new computer on the back burner. Have other things I'm trying to deal with. Like a spike in the frequency in migraines. Dealing with social security and lawyers. It's been a fun year (that's sarcasm).
The silver lining in all the migraines effectively knocking me out of being able to plan shoots (in front of or behind the camera) is that I'm available last minute for myself on a good head day. :D so I can take my self out and take portraits of me. And I both like and enjoy doing self portraits. As well as finding it therapeutic. So at least I'm getting out once or twice a month to take photos.
I've yet test to the new infrared camera in the studio or with lights, but hopefully I'll get it's feet wet soon. I am curious to see how the color turns with strobes.
I need to revamp my website. pull off some photos; upload some new photos. In general make it more appealing BUT I'd rather be taking photos or processing photos than worrying about making my website prettier.
I also have a water bag to put a camera in for some Underwater photos :D
But again, haven't been able to go use it yet.
