Just posted: Our in-depth review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3. The G3 is Panasonic’s smallest EVF-equipped G-series camera so far, and also the second highest-resolution in the range. At the core of the G3 is a brand new 15.8MP sensor, making it the first mass-market model to step away from the ageing 12MP chip. Like the G2, it features an articulated, touch-sensitive LCD screen but inherits its interface from the GF2 to make the camera ever-more accessible to beginners. On paper, the G3 is an appealing combination of enthusiast-oriented specification and beginner-friendly ergonomics – read our in-depth review to find out how it performs.

My very first tutorial. Just showing you how I use masks to change a certain part of an image. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO CHANGE ONE CERTAIN AREA OF AN IMAGE. This is only one way, and the way I find easiest. I cannot promise you will find it easy or fast as I do. The song I used is called Happily Flipping Mushrooms by Locust Toybox. Here I alter the lips in the image.

Originally made in 2005 before HISHE was even an official company, this short was the 2nd cartoon HISHE ever created. It was intended to develop my animation technique (eyebrows, hand gestures, etc) things that I had never attempted before. So I picked my most favorite film at the time “Saving Private Ryan”, and began writing a spoof that transformed into a bit teasing Tom Hanks’ massive career success. This is a short intended to be just that. It is not about war vets. It is not about who’s country is better. It is about Tom Hanks’ career as it stood in 2005. *Comments have been disabled because the majority of comments have turned into people looking to fight about things that have nothing to do with this short, so… we’re closing the gate. Normally we embrace all opinions, but this one has just gotten out of control. 🙂 But Thanks for the continued support! Sorry this one turned out so controversial. It was never meant to be be viewed as such. And Saving Private Ryan is still one of my favorite films of all time.

I got to thinking one day that I might be able to cobble together a pocket wizard-based remote shutter release cable for my Nikon D300. It was actually really easy, and just took a spare shutter release cable and some 1/8″ audio cable.
