All headshot photos have to be in black-and-white and are individually placed in the program next to each student’s name and biographical information. I thought I would share the process that I ended up using that works well for me.\nHeadshots - Preparation # The first thing you need to decide is the location to take your photos. You want to shoot against a solid background color if possible. In my experience black works best. You also want to choose a location that has electrical outlets for you to plug your equipment into. I typically use the school’s black stage curtains. I just close the curtains and setup my camera equipment on the stage. There are outlets located in several places on the floor which I use to plug-in my lights and laptop. I place a piece of duct tape on the floor in front of the curtain where I want the subject to stand when taking the photo.\nIf possible you should test out your location and equipment a day or more before the photo shoot. Practice makes perfect.\nMake sure to bring some black t-shirts with you in at least 3 different sizes. I usually bring small, medium, large, and extra large for the big and tall guys. You will also need to print out a list of all the kids names on a piece of paper, with room next to each name for them to check that their photo has been taken.\nI shoot tethered, which means my camera is directly connected to my laptop, which is placed on a foldable tv-tray situated to the right of my tripod. I make sure to place the tv-tray next to a floor outlet for power. When I take a photo with my camera it immediately gets sent to my laptop where I can view the picture full-screen in Adobe Lightroom. I typically take 3 photos of my subject, and we discuss which one looks best. I let them choose their favorite and I flag it in Lightroom by hitting the “p” (pick) key. To unflag a picture you type “u”. Check that the subjects hair looks good and that their face is not overexposed. You can save tons of post editing time by making sure you have things shot properly in-camera. I have each person check off their name on the sheet of paper, and then go get me someone on the list who hasn’t had their photo taken.\nMake sure you have your camera battery charged before the camera shoot. It is also a good idea to come with at least one backup battery. Also check that you have enough memory cards and that they are formatted and empty.\nPlan on shooting on two different days. The second day will be a makeup day. It is rare that you can get everyone’s photo taken in one shoot, invariably someone will be missing on the first day.\nHeadshots – Lighting # Lighting is a complex topic. You can find many helpful Youtube tutorials on the subject. I would suggest keeping it simple. I just use two continuous lights when shooting headshots. They are placed in front of the subject to each side.\nI encourage you to experiment with your lights at home until you are satisfied with the results. You will want to go to your location and try your lighting setup ahead of time. Make sure it works the way you think it will.\nHeadshots – Equipment # I borrow one of the school’s Lowel DV Creator 1 Kits for the photo shoot. The kit comes with light stands which is nice. The lights plug into electrical outlets to produce continuous lighting.\nI would recommend for beginning photographers to use continuous lighting so you don’t have to deal with remote triggers and shutter speed issues. Make sure to practice with your lighting kit before you shoot with it. It takes some time to learn how to put all of the gear together correctly and determine where you want to place each light.\nMake sure to use a tripod when taking your pictures and a release shutter if you have one. I also use a camera grip with extra batteries so I never have to worry about running out of power.\nI shoot headshots with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR and a 28-135mm lens.\nYou can rent equipment similar to what I describe from Lens Rentals though they require a minimum day rental. You can also try your local camera shop for one day rentals.\nHeadshots – Photo Editing # I use Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop for editing and cropping the photos. In “Develop” mode, choose the crop tool and set the ratio to 4×3. When you drag the corner in using the crop tool, it will flip from 4×3 to 3×4 which is what you want. Make sure to crop the photo so that the subject fills the entire area with just the neck and top of the shoulders showing. Here is an example:\nExample Headshot Cast Photos # One of the frustrations beginning photographers face when shooting cast photos is getting a picture where everyones eyes are open. Well I will tell you the secret. The trick is to shoot a burst of multiple photos in a row. You then layer all of the images on top of each other in Photoshop. Then it is easy to erase any closed eyes to see the open eyes of the subject underneath on a layer below. You will need a DSLR camera that can handle taking bursts of photos. Also make sure to have a fast lens and memory card. You will need to make sure your camera is mounted onto a tripod. Additionally, I would recommend using a release shutter so you don’t have to physically touch the camera. For cast photos I shoot with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens. Here are a couple of examples:\nBeauty and the Beast Cast photo Little Mermaid Cast photo ","date":"21 December 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/posts/202012-creating-headshots-and-a-cast-photo/","section":"Posts","summary":"Tutorial on How to Create Headshots and Cast Photos","title":"Creating Headshots and a Cast Photo","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"21 December 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/headshots/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Headshots","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"21 December 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/categories/photography/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Photography","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"14 December 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/chopin/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Chopin","type":"tags"},{"content":"I have started playing the piano again during the pandemic.

You just need to purchase the mini with the base 8GB of RAM, and follow the iFixIt tutorial. The mini comes with a variety of ports: four Thunderbolt 3, an HDMI 2.0, two USB 3.0 ports, Ethernet with 10GB option, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It also comes with Apple’s T2 security chip so you can use Apple Pay and continuity features.\nI needed a new computer because my Macbook Pro had the swollen battery issue occur twice. The first time it was covered under Apple’s warranty, but the second time it was not. At the price Apple quoted me to get it fixed, it was definitely not worth it. Since Apple’s WWDC was just a few days away, I decided to wait before getting a new laptop. At the Apple event they announced that moving forward, they would be using their own Apple silicon in all of their computers. That meant if I were to buy a new Intel based MacBook Pro now, it would be obsolete as soon as I took it home. So I decided to purchase the Mac mini. I got the 3.2GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i7 with 8GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD storage. It set me back $1,622 including tax. If you do a lot of video editing, you should be aware that the mini’s Intel UHD Graphics 630 card is not that great. You should plan on purchasing an external GPU. I bought 32GB of OWC RAM from Amazon for just $135. That saved me $465, as Apple would have charged me $600 for the 32GB of RAM.\nStick of OWC RAM I have been using the mini since late June and it has been a fantastic purchase. I can connect to my mini from my iPad Pro via VNC, using the Jump app. That means I can work from my living room on my iPad and use my mini in my office remotely when I need to.\nI’ve also enjoyed using its many external ports. I sometimes use one of them for Apple’s Sidecar feature with my iPad Pro so I can use it as a second monitor. All in all the Mac mini has worked out well for me.\n","date":"22 September 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/posts/202008-mac-mini-review/","section":"Posts","summary":"The Mac mini can be a good option for people who want to save money on an Apple computer.","title":"Apple's Mac mini - Review","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"22 September 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/mac-mini/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Mac Mini","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"22 September 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/categories/technology/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Technology","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"2 September 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/doorway-effect/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Doorway Effect","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"2 September 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/categories/memory/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Memory","type":"categories"},{"content":"As a follow-up to my original post:\nMemory - Why Do We Forget? 10 August 2018\u0026middot;3 mins\u0026middot; loading Memory Memory Palace Method of Loci Mneumonics Recall Forgetting on why our brain forgets things, I thought I would cover some recent developments from a research team at the University of Notre Dame. They hypothesized that walking through doorways causes us to forget. It seems that some of our memories are set up to be forgotten as soon as we move on to a new task.\nThis doorway effect was observed in test subjects when playing a video game. They where tasked with walking over to a table to pick up a geometric shape. They were then asked to carry the object with them and to place it on a different table. The object was hidden from their view as they walked to the different table.\nSometimes while walking to the new table they would pass through a doorway, other times not. The researchers would periodically quiz them at certain intervals during the game. Some quizzes would occur right after walking through a doorway. In those instances the subjects were more forgetful and slower in responding with answers than when they were quizzed after walking to a different table within the same room.\nThe effect did not change if they used different visual displays. It was the same on a flat screen or an old CRT monitor. They even conducted a study in real rooms where participants used shoe boxes to carry objects. The same “doorway effect” occurred. Their memories were not as good after passing through a doorway.\n","date":"2 September 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/posts/202009-the-doorway-effect/","section":"Posts","summary":"Walking through doorways can cause us to forget.","title":"The Doorway Effect","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"8 August 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/cable/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Cable","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"8 August 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/categories/entertainment/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Entertainment","type":"categories"},{"content":"","date":"8 August 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/kanopy/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Kanopy","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"8 August 2020","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/netflix/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Netflix","type":"tags"},{"content":"So are you fed up with paying for channels you don’t use and the growing yearly cable costs, and listening to friends that have ditched cable tv and couldn’t be happier. Let me help you by explaining how our family did just that.\nMake A List # The first step is to make a list on a piece of paper of all of the shows your family watches and which channels they are on. You then have every family member sign their name on the paper indicating they would be happy if they had most of what is on the list.\nFree HDTV # Step two is determining if where you live might be a good candidate for over-the-air television. Many cities broadcast HDTV channels for free. You just need an antenna to pick them up. We had a local installer come out to our house to conduct a free inspection. He determined that the signal would be strong enough to pick up, and we could place the antenna in our attic instead of mounting one on the roof.\nTablo DVR # Since we wouldn’t always be home when a show was broadcast, that meant we needed a DVR. I did some research and found out about a company called Tablo. They have a Quad Over-The-Air DVR which allows you to record 4 shows simultaneously. You can put large terabyte hard drives in them to store hundreds of shows. They also include TV guide information and commercial skipping for many shows. For viewing TV they have a Roku app, AppleTV app, Amazon Fire TV app, Xbox One app, Chromecast app, iPhone app, iPad app, Nvidia shield app (Android TV), and a website to view your shows through a browser. They also support casting to Chromecast via Android mobile devices and PCs. I had already done the research on Tablo before calling the antenna company, so I made sure they could help with the Tablo installation. Here are some screenshots from my Tablo app.\nTablo list of shows. Tablo upcoming schedule. Hockey game. Sling TV # The next task was for us to replace those shows and channels that we couldn’t get over-the-air for free. Sling charges as little as $30 a month for 30+ channels and no contract. We chose the Sling Orange plan with Cloud DVR and Sports Extra options.\nAmazon Prime Video # Since we use Amazon Prime for their two-day package delivery, we also get Prime Video which is included with the service. I often purchase movies and TV shows through them because I can view them on any platform, unlike Apple.\nNetflix # My wife teaches a film class at school, so we have a Netflix subscription as well.

You almost have it, but no, you can’t remember what it was. This inability to recall deemed retrieval failure by scientists, is one of the most common forms of forgetting. And scientists have proposed something called decay theory as a possible explanation. As the name implies, decay theory suggests that as each new memory is formed, which they term a memory trace, it will begin to fade-away over time, unless we contemplate the memory and rehearse it. If the memory is not retrieved over an extended period of time it will eventually be discarded and lost.\nDisplacement # This type is where a new memory writes over and replaces an existing one. Similar to when you accidentally over-write a file on your computer, a new memory can do the same thing.\nFailure to Store # This is when we try to store or encode information into our long-term memory, but it just doesn’t get saved. Interestingly, we also don’t always store clear details in our memory.\nMotivated Forgetting # Sometimes we may experience some painful event we don’t want to remember ever again. Some scientists believe our brains can actually allow us to both consciously and unconsciously work to forget certain memories. The conscious form they term “suppression” while the unconscious they designate “repression”. There is less agreement on “repression” as it is extremely difficult to scientifically study.\nBenefits of Forgetting # As strange as it may seem, forgetting can actually help our memory! If we don’t store outdated or trivial information, we can store more important things. As this 2015 study has shown, the sheer act of remembering by retrieving a particular memory can induce the forgetting of other unrelated memories.\nImproving # We would all like to improve our memory, so how would one go about it? It turns out that there are techniques available that anyone can use to vastly improve their recall. One important technique comes to us from antiquity and is called The Method of Loci, also known as The Memory Palace. In this technique you use the layout of some building you are familiar with such as your home. You then decide which rooms you want to store your items. In each room you determine some memorable locations to place your items. Choose around 5 items per room. Then, when you want to remember something, say a list of groceries, you just place a grocery item into each one of your locations in a particular room. If you had a grand piano in your room for example, you could imagine placing a dozen eggs on top of the piano keyboard. To make the image even more memorable, you can add movement to your image, or make it something funny or disturbing. For instance you could imagine the dozen eggs being cracked and oozing out over your expensive piano. You then retrieve the list by walking through the room, stopping at each of your locations to see the item you placed into it. This technique has even been featured in BBC’s Sherlock.\nIn Joshua Foer’s excellent book Moonwalking with Einstein he demonstrates some of the important techniques anyone can utilize to remember.\nI highly recommend it if you are interested in using some practical methods to help you remember things.\n","date":"10 August 2018","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/posts/201808-memory-why-do-we-forget/","section":"Posts","summary":"Why is it that we forget things?  There are a few different theories on the subject with some surprising benefits as to why we humans forget.","title":"Memory - Why Do We Forget?","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"10 August 2018","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/memory-palace/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Memory Palace","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"10 August 2018","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/method-of-loci/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Method of Loci","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"10 August 2018","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/mneumonics/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Mneumonics","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"10 August 2018","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/recall/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Recall","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"7 August 2017","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/art/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Art","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"7 August 2017","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/beauty/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Beauty","type":"tags"},{"content":" Knowledge # To me, a thirst for knowledge means more than just acquiring new facts and information.
