Testing my new EF-S 55-250
by LiMuBei on Jul.28, 2010, under Photography
Recently I purchased a zoom lens to get one step closer in completing the basic equipment. I decided to go for a Canon EF-S 55-250 lens which I hope to have a good value for money. Took it out on a short stroll in the near vicinity. The light was really not good at that day, very cloudy and late in the afternoon. Under these conditions the new lens proved to be quite good – at least for my current aspirations!
Berries
Lessons learned:
- Zoom lenses need quite a bit more light than I was used to from the kit lens
- Shooting ducks is harder than one might think
- A zoom lens is almost a must when shooting nature
Spider WIP
by LiMuBei on Jul.26, 2010, under Blender Modeling, Sculpting
So for the game I’m helping in developing I’ve started to do a enemy monster, namely a spider. I started this in Blender and modeled the basic shape from a box. I used a mirror modifier as well as a subsurface modifier to help in the process. I also used a top down view of a spider as a reference image. Then I applied the modifiers and exported to .obj. From there I’m now working in Sculptris to flesh out some details and give it a paint job at the end. For today I started with the legs, more to follow soon.
New texture site
by LiMuBei on Jul.25, 2010, under Internal
Just read on BlenderNation of a new texture site that has lots and lots of free textures to download. Free means in this case really free, no subscription, no limit, no license stuff. Just download as much as you want and use it for whatever you want. Really cool!
Oh, and here’s the link: http://www.texturemate.com
Photo tour in Mannheim
by LiMuBei on Jul.19, 2010, under Photography
This weekend I’ve been on photo tour in Mannheim with my girlfriend as well as Steffi and Tilo. We started the tour in the late afternoon in the Luisenpark and then moved on to the watertower to shoot it in the “blue hour”. It was a lot of fun and there’s also a few images to show for it:
Another butterfly
Next time we’ll probably be on tour in Frankfurt 
New camera – first image
by LiMuBei on Jun.28, 2010, under Photography
Put the new camera through it’s first test shots. Spent the weekend at my parents’ and their garden is a really great source for macro shots of flowers and insects. Found this poppy which was nicely backlit by the sun. This one has a little post processing but only some minor colour adjustments.
I obviously have a lot of learning still ahead of me…
