Removing ghost Google Wifi devices from Google home
Google home is a great system if you want an easy way to automate your home and connect everything together. Also the Google home app is easy to use and supports a lot of automations and devices are almost added automatically. So when it all works so easy you might expect that if you have to replace a defective Wifi unit it's super easy to remove that device.....you probably already guessed it, it's not.
I tried almost everything (except of course delete the home and rebuild everything) but whatever I tried there was no way to remove the old device. At one point I just gave up and accepted that the ghost of my defective Wifi device would haunt me forever.
The Scott Kelby Worldwide PhotoWalk 2024 on Urk
Once a year it's time for the worldwide Photowalk, a great idea from Scott Kelby.
When possible I'm also hosting a walk, and after Kampen, Urk, and several times Amsterdam it was time for Urk.
The reason is simple, it's a great place for photography with people that have loads of stories and are very friendly for visitors plus it's close to our home. And they sell the best fish of course.
The most amazing deal of the year
If you want to get the most amazing deal for your photography, I think the 5daydeal is exactly that.
Every year they deliver the goods and also this year the deal is jam-packed with awesome tutorials, e-books, filters, presets and software.
The problem with a global shutter that a lot of people will miss
So what's the big deal with a global shutter?
In short....
There is no real limit anymore.
You would be able to shoot strobes up to 1/16000 or even 1/80000 when using Sony compatible strobes.
Sounds awesome right?
And it is, but there is one limit I have to tell you about that will prevent some nasty surprises.
Calibrations demystified
A lot of people ask me which profile to use when opening files in Photoshop from Lightroom, the monitor profile or the camera profile?
Well both are wrong, how weird it might sound, you can't use any of them.
A step by step workshop with Nadine and using Geekoto strobes outside
Probably one of the first questions people ask when they want to know more about my workshops.
And let's immediately take the bull by the horns, it sometimes seems everyone is teaching workshops and the quality is often not what people expect. A guided photoshoot is not a workshop.
Colors and how they connect
You probably have been hearing me say that a lot.
And that's because color is incredibly important to give images/video/film a certain mood. But also for logo's, design, cars, buildings, interiors, clothing, colors are used everywhere to get a feeling, or make you feel a certain way.
So for us as content creators it's vital to make sure that our designs, photos, videos etc. all look accurate.
So when someone orders a red scarf and a red sweater they look the same as in the brochure or website.
Luckily this is pretty easy.
Geekoto softboxes compared: results from the Digital Classroom with Jannaika
In todays blog the results from the Digital classroom episode with Jannaike in which I explained the differences between softboxes.
Do remember that these were shot during a live broadcast with loads of ambient light so it's a bit harder to set the light perfectly.
But I'm very happy with the results.
