Photographer of the Week 08
The photographer of the Week this is a photographer that has inspired me since i first discovered his E-book in 2006, His name is Chris Weeks. Because of the work i saw he produced, it inspired me to try my hand at street photography. It's been six years since i first tried street photography, I can honestly say that it my favorite way of taking(not making) photographs since then. He's a big Leica fan-boy. For years he shot northing but film, although recently he started shooting digital with his Leica M9. While he has/does work/ed for several magazines, That is just to support his personal project, Witch is shooting Street photographs all over the world.

?
I've been think lately my photographic process, and I've come to the
conclusion that I have been using to many cameras and lenses. I haven't
gotten to know each of my lenses personalty's very well. There are a Few
exceptions, I know my, OMZ 85mm F2.0, OMZ 35mm F2.0, and my Olympus
14-54mm F2.8-3.5 MK1 Very well. But i hardly know or use my OMZ 180mm
F2.8 or my OMZ 28mm F3.5. And These are just a few examples.
So to fix my problem I've decided shoot the next two-three weeks with
only certain lenses. These lenses are, For my FD kit only my Canon 50mm F1.2 S.S.C,
For my OM kit only my OMZ 50mm F1.8, and lastly for my 4/3(digital) kit
only my OMZ 28mm F3.5. These limitations should force me to come up with
creative workarounds to not having the correct lens for the situation.
Do you guys think this is Crazy? Because maybe I'm over-thinking this?
What do you guys think?

Free Photo Software that's AMAZING!!!
Hi Everyone!!!
Here are some links to the best free/ Open source photo development programs. All of these programs except Gimp, natively open Raw files.
http://rawtherapee.com/
RawTherapee is the best Open Source Raw development program out there, also it beats allot of commercial raw development programs out there. It does everything ACR does and more in a 16bit non-destructive work-flow. It also has a fairly basic image liberty function. It's ported to most of the Linux distributions along with Windows, and Mac.
WARNING!!! RawTherapee is a fairly resource intensive program. To run it it at decent speed you need a least a duel-core processor running at 2.4Ghz and also 2gb of ram minimum.
http://www.irfanview.com/
Irfranview is a windows exclusive free-ware program. It view almost every format ever thought of. It's not the best, But it's still pretty good. It has very low system requirements.
http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/index.html
UfRaw is an old open source Raw development program. For a lot of years it was the go to program. It doesn't have a large amount of features, In fact it's very bare-bones. It's not the best, It's just ok. It has some problems dealing with noisy images. It has a tendency to render the noise rather large and blotchy. It's useful to run on older computers because it's has fairly low system requirements. It's offered as ether a Plug-in for Gimp or as a stand-alone program.
http://www.gimp.org/
Gimp is a excellent program. It has almost all of the feature offered in Photoshop. The features that are not in it are, CMYK support, 16bit editing(It only edits in 8bits currently.), And non-destructive adjustments. It edits like PhotoShop 7.0(pre CS series). It's interface also reminds me of Photoshop 7.0. Overall a Great program, Especially when you consider the fact that it's free.
P.S. An all in one GUI will be in Version 2.8, which should be released in the next couple of months.(Update: Gimp V.2.8.0RC1 was released a few days ago. This means that we could be seeing a Stable version of 2.8.0 by the end of the month.)
P.S.S 16bit editing and non-destructive adjustments are planed for Version 3.0 which should be out in mid-late 2013.
P.S. I might do a review of Raw Therapee later on. I will have to see how much time i have then.

Hi Everyone!!!
These are some of the best of a set of image i shot over spring-break. These were all shot at Kawa-Kon(Anime/Gaming convention) during the Rave. Photographing the Rave pushed my Camera to it's limit, the EXIF info on these is ISO3200, 35mm, F2.0, 1/60th. That's pretty extreme when you consider the fact that the E-3 was released in 2007. This is only a Sample of this set, I shot a little over 800 images and it's taking a while to sort and edit them.
