Jan10 Lightroom 4 Beta

Posted by Brian Tetrault • January 10th, 2012 at 7:37 am • permalink

It’s here! Anyone can now download the Lightroom 4 Beta. I have not yet played around with it at all but will be posting my comments/videos as soon as I can. Here is a couple new features that Adobe has highlighted:

Highlight and shadow recovery brings out all the detail that your camera captures in dark shadows and bright highlights.
Photo book creation with easy-to-use elegant templates.
Location-based organization lets you find and group images by location, assign locations to images, and display data from GPS-enabled cameras.
White balance brush to refine and adjust white balance in specific areas of your images.
Additional local editing controls let you adjust noise reduction and remove moiré in targeted areas of your images.
Extended video support for organizing, viewing, and making adjustments and edits to video clips.
Easy video publishing lets you edit and share video clips on Facebook and Flickr®.
Soft proofing to preview how an image will look when printed with color-managed printers.
Email directly from Lightroom using the email account of your choice.

They had Julieanne Kost do an intro video and some ‘digging deeper’ videos with some of the other features. You can find all of those on the YouTube channel by clicking here.

Nov09 Google+ Pages

Posted by Brian Tetrault • November 9th, 2011 at 2:41 pm • permalink

After having been literally kicking people off who were building accounts for businesses, Google has officially announced Pages for businesses! Much like fan pages on that OTHER social network…..Google+ is much easier to navigate and isn’t completely full of ads and other crap you don’t want or need to be looking at while you’re hangin’ around the site. Be sure to add me to your circles in Google+! Click here, or search G+ for ‘Brian Tetrault Productions’.

Nov02 I Moved!

Posted by Brian Tetrault • November 2nd, 2011 at 2:51 pm • permalink

That’s right, my office has moved! Possibly the shortest move ever….same building, same FLOOR! I’m now located at 681 Main Street #3-27 in Waltham. I’m sharing with the great Leah LaRiccia! Stop by anytime, my door is always open! (And yes, I’ll do some non-camera-phone pictures soon).

Jun26 The Duopod Concept

Posted by Brian Tetrault • June 26th, 2011 at 3:42 pm • permalink

Well now this is just quite cool. If it’s possible to make something like this that’s not priced in the stratosphere I think it would be the opening to a whole new era of DSLR video rigs. Don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little tired of shopping for 18 different rigs that really can’t work in conjunction with each other.

Mountkestrel, a Curve Creative brand, is paving the way into a new era for a camera mounts & accessories with their premiere design, the Duopod. With multi-functionality & adaptablity in mind, the Duopod was designed specifically for current hybrid DSLRs to perform as a steadycam, transform into a shoulder or chest mount, placed in a neutral position to be used as a tripod, or attached to a tripod for 360 degree movement. A versatile tool to suit the needs of professional & consumer users alike.

Jun23 Lytro – The no-focus camera

Posted by Brian Tetrault • June 23rd, 2011 at 10:14 am • permalink

I don’t know about you, but this scares me…just a little…

“The camera that turns light into living pictures.

This year, Lytro will debut the first light field camera for everyone. OK – you’re not everyone. You are a beautiful, unique snowflake. And you deserve an amazing camera that lets you capture life’s singular moments, like baby’s first steps not second, with maximum magic and minimum hassle. No more fighting with dials and settings and modes. No more flat, boring, static photographs. With a Lytro, you unleash the light.”

So a camera that needs no dials, no focusing, no nothing….you focus AFTER you take the photo….huh? wow…. well, click here to get the nerd explanation. But let’s suffice it to say that Lytro could quite possibly be a came changer for the photography industry. Take a look at the Lytro image gallery to become a believer–just click around on the image to change it’s focus point.

Dec09 Su Casa Designs Project

Posted by Brian Tetrault • December 9th, 2010 at 1:39 pm • permalink

The time has finally come: the bombardment of new work here and on my website. For the past few months now, one of my shooting partners and I (Jim Hooper) have been working on a rather large project for Chestnut Hill-based interior design company Su Casa Designs. We have photographed upwards of a dozen residences over that time and along with the launch of their website we have put together a sample of some of that work. See even more either at Su Casa’s website or my main site!

Nov08 What’s Bri been up to?

Posted by Brian Tetrault • November 8th, 2010 at 1:39 pm • permalink

Really….I’ve been up to a LOT. There is a ton of new work coming (mostly interiors) so stay tuned.

As a little side project, I have been shooting a little bit of rowing. All of these photographs were taken on the Charles River very early in the morning. Particularly, this day was 2 days before the very large regatta, the Head of the Charles. There were many boats on the water–so much practicing–it was an amazing site. The setup was in full swing as well: tents everywhere, trucks and trailers, and even people scouting out the best spots to be to watch the races. It was a really fun time being out there and I hope you enjoy what I experienced with these images!
