In the picture above, Yuval (my amazing boy) slides in the playground. As you can see he’s not very clean, we just ate mulberries we picked from a near-by tree.

I welcome all the new visitors coming through Lightroom Facebook page recommendation.
Following the impressive support I got in comments and e-mails I will try to do more frequent updates to the tutorials section.
I’m working on some tips for Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5, stay tuned…

As for LrSaver, we’re working now in full speed on supporting Lightroom 3. we should have a beta release available in less than a week…

Site updates

Screen Resolution

For a while I was thinking about increasing the website resolution (website width). While it seems a simple decision, I was not sure what are the most widely used monitors today and whether such increment will be problematic to some of the visitors.

This is where Google analytics came in to play. One of the many parameters that analytics monitors is the screen resolution. The following graph shows the screen resolutions of the blog visitors from the last month:

The above information shows that ~90% of the users are using wide screen and/or high resolution monitors and only 10% are still using 1024×768. Following this input I’ve decided to increased site width. Visitors with low resolution monitors can use browser zoom functionality to overcome this limit.

So, what’s new?

Ok, so what is new in the updated site design:

  • Wider resolution, photographs are much bigger now!
  • Updated Portfolio design, sleeker & faster than previous one. I’m currently test-driving the zoom/pan functionality, would highly appreciate your input.
  • Updated ‘Web Recommendation’ Sidebar (bottom right menu)
  • New image enlargement script, click on the analytics screenshot above to see.

Would be great to hear your feedback… ]]> http://dremer.org/2010/01/yuval-in-shower-and-site-updates/feed/ 0 Henna http://dremer.org/2009/12/henna/ http://dremer.org/2009/12/henna/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 06:15:51 +0000 Nir Dremer http://dremer.org/?p=2931

Ben, my cousin, is getting married next week and few days ago he & his future wife had a Henna ceremony. While the event had a dedicated photographer I joined from time to time (mostly in video). The photo above was captured while the families were dressing up for the ritual.

Photographed in a family walk in Yaffo. I find Liat look to really express genuine love (but I might be biased)…

As of this week I’m starting a new weekly tradition in which each Monday will be dedicated to a family portrait.
As you might have noticed already, I’ve started using Canon 580II flash with remote trigger (ST-E2). Would appreciate any comments and suggestions how to improve myself…

Here are few from a recent walk in the neighborhood:

In the mean time I try to devote my free time to my family.

The following series was photographed over the weekend while Yuval practiced crawling:

Thinking what to do…

Playing ‘Catch the Camera’

The past two months have been crazy. I worked day and night for a month on a big project at work. Just after the project ended I received a bonus and caught a nasty disease that crippled me for another month (the lovely Infectious Mononucleosis disease).

During this period I barely photographed and now that I’m almost completely healthy (well, still some minor leftovers from the disease), my craving is waking up again…. Be prepared for new material within few days….

I will use the opportunity to showoff my amazing baby boy:

As you can see, once he understood the photograph might be published on the web, he immediately covered his privates ;-)
