Ever since I went to China for work, I have had the habit of buying daily items online; Chow mein, groceries, toilet papers, sex toys, etc.
Today while having a conversation in my Whatsapp group on Shopee, I got curious on how much I have spent on the platform. So I pulled the data off Shopee and tabulated it in Microsoft Excel.
Malaysians have finally developed a level of political maturity that led us taking our destiny into our own hands (or finger).
Having to put up with endless news of crimes, done by the people high up in the past Government of Malaysia, involving billions of Ringgit, it is the time for the people to overturn the ruling government.
The ruling government then, Barisan National or BN has been the ruling party throughout 61 years of Malaysia’s history.
Flickr revamped with a new layout. Bold, strong. Everything shouts loudness when you visit the site.
I have been a Flickr Pro user since 2005, and I can probably tell you the ins and outs of Flickr, and how to manipulate it.
While I love the new interface, I also hate it. The code is just rubbish, the site loads sluggishly and a whooping amount of RAM.
Then there is the CEO Marissa Mayer who bans telecommuting in Yahoo! just because she can build her own nursery in her office.
Well, I don’t work for Yahoo! but her press statement given during the announcement of Flickr’s redesign really hit that button.
…there’s no such thing as Flickr Pro, because today, with cameras as pervasive as they are, there is no such thing really as professional photographers, when there’s everything is professional photographers. Certainly there is varying levels of skills, but we didn’t want to have a Flickr Pro anymore, we wanted everyone to have professional quality photos, space, and sharing.
I am totally disgusted with your statement. The years of hard work, commitment, and dedication I put into, are now considered as passé because everyone owns a camera? What were you drinking before making that statement?
In the ‘dog eat dog’ world of photography, especially in Malaysia where everyone undercuts everyone at any given opportunity.
Sign,
Formally Professional Photographer.
(Update: Marrisa Mayer took it to Twitter to explain her remarks, however, I feel that she should address it as a statement than a @mention)
Adobe had caused a stir a couple of weeks ago when they announce its subscription-based ‘Creative Cloud’ service.
To help you understand Adobe’s confusing pricing systems, the good folks at Digital Camera Info has put together an infographic that compares the cost of boxed sets and the cost of a ‘Creative Cloud’ subscription.
A lot of my studio work involves working with models. It is really easy to make minor adjustments to make the image pop especially when the model already have flawless skin.
I like to do these before sending the images to Photoshop for manipulation.
Like the previous Lightroom Presets, you toggle Adjustment Brush by tapping the K key.
