Monday, Oct-28-2024 > moved a small wood building next to my residence – that will now serve as a small shooting Studio – for doing tabletop setups. The focus is on producing creative conceptual imagery and photo-illustrations. Also built another shed that holds all the props.
Nikon and BlackMagicDesign camera equipment are used – to caption Stills and Motion Footage.
My computer room contains the main working monitor – an ASUS PA32UCG-K 1600 nit unit, along with another ASUS monitor and the third for the scopes. There’s also a BMD Editing Keyboard and Color Grading Mini Panel.
