News about StudioFD, Frank Doorhof, and more.
Yesterday I got the new book by Matt Kloskowski about compositing.
I have to admit that I did maybe 2-3 composites during the last few years but I do love the look, however with a motto that sounds like “why fake it when you can create it!” I really can’t of course do composites……
I love to shoot tethered, or in other words connected to a computer or laptop.
Even on location I try to shoot 100% tethered, unless it’s really not possible.
I hear you asking why ?
Well that’s very easy to explain :
For today some news items:
Tethertools
I love the products from Tethertools and have supported them for the last few months. My wife’s company ITC already did the import for the products so I could sell them in our webshop for the students and visitors from this blog. Because the products are so cool ITC decided to take the whole line into their stock, this means that we will be selling all their products via our webshop and also start delivering to dealers in the Netherlands, so if you want tethertools make sure your local camera store contacts ITC for resale. During the workshops you can of course see me working with the Jerkstoppers (I never leave home without them) but also the great tables and cables. In the course of next week you will find the complete product range on our webshop.
Eyes on media workshop (free)
Especially interesting for the Dutch people.
I will be at the Amsterdam store location from Eyes on Media on Tuesday May 24th and during that day I will do several live shoots with one of my best models Nadine, during the shoots I will explain the lightsetups, how to measure and of course demo the Leaf digital back system, including the stunning 80MP Leaf AptusII 12.
During the day there will be more than enough time for Q&A and chatsessions.
You REALLY don’t want to miss this…. and the best part…. it’s 100% free !!!!

Frank Doorhof Photoshop PC
A while ago I worked together with the technical guys from ITC Computer Systems to design a PC that I would love to use for Photoshop. Yeah ok I know I’m using a Mac but not everybody wants a Mac. This week we redesigned the whole system to the new specs (which we do every month or so with small changes) and we also added some cheaper alternatives because not everyone wants a killer PC of course :D. Contact Annewiek Doorhof for more information on the Frank Doorhof Photoshop PC (oh and it also is perfect for video of course)
A long time ago in a galaxy………
Well ok.
A while ago I used a static page as my website and a SMF installation as my blog. The blog grew slightly and people wanted to ask questions, this is why I used the forum software so that was made easy. Over time however the blog grew more and more into a forum and I slowly changed it to that. There were some great ideas for the forum like sharing the images done during the workshops but somehow I never pushed it through.
Last year I started using wordpress for my site and that meant that I was given the opportunity to have a real blog, which I decided to build first. At the moment the blog is updated almost every day with news items, reviews, photo shoots and of course the great guest bloggers. But the forum slowly disappeared to the background, it was updated, there were visitors but the blog grew much faster than the forum which of course is understandable when you don’t give attention to the forum. Well I’ve decided to change this. As of today the forum can be found on a new location http://www.doorhof.nl/forum and will get a new look.
So head over and register and start the discussion with each other, ask questions, share images and start building the community 😀
Have fun.
