Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone

This week, it is a mix between both video and photography. With the current season going on, I’m trying to focus a bit more on photography as of now but definitely will not forget the video and audio side.

Story: The Shooting of a Team Photograph

For this first Photography/Video/Media Thursday, I’d like to talk photography, specifically the challenges when shooting a team.

With the fact that this was to take place in the school auditorium during a break, there wasn’t really much time!

My Favourite List of Podcasts I Subcribe to

If you do any kind of commuting, podcasts are going to save you, I promise! With music, I find myself listening to the same things all over again to the point when they become boring. I also want to listen to music mainly when writing (like now) as I don’t loose any focus on the text then. However podcasts are great to have and listen to when you aren’t doing a lot, such as when you commute! Here are some that I subscribe to.

Thursday Newsmix

With the recent change of blog format here on the site (as you may have noticed) it’s gotten more focus on articles and informative things during the week but I definitely wanted to preserve the newsposts which have been moved to once a week, on Thursdays. Here are the newsmix for this week:

• Freelance Folder has posted a really great article about how you should position yourself as an expert in your field. It is certainly something important and doing it will definitely help you business. Check it out!
   
• When using AJAX to develop websites you can do some cool effects. Antonio Lupetti over at the woork blog has listed a couple of different ways to do auto-complete fields, all really nice.
   
• ProBlogger has an article on a topic that we can all use help on at a very fitting time for myself. It’s some tips on writing articles, papers, documents and the likes. It’s a really important topic that we’re constantly faced doing and these tips do remind you to get down and dirty with your text!
   
•  Canon released a bunch of new cameras today and I’ll try to cover them a bit before Monday. There is a Swedish photo trade-show coming here in my city this weekend that I’m going to be attending and blogging partly from as I get my hands on some cool things, hopefully these new Canons.

The story about JPG Magazine – Closing or not?

A couple of days ago, JPG Magazine announced that they were closing down because of funding. They also said that the site would be closing on January 5th. As of today though, there is a new blog post on their blog thanking everyone for the tremendous support and because of that and also because several companies have approached them wanting to help, they have a bit more time to look at things and they are looking at keeping the site up for at least another week.

I’m seriously hoping that they get a bunch of donations or that a company accuires them or donates to them to keep them alive. JPG Magazine is a great mag and a great website and it would be terrible to see it go.
