What is Green Screen?

According to Wikipedia,

Green screen or chroma key is a special effects/postproduction technique for compositing (layering) two images together, used heavily in many fields to remove a background from the subject of a photo. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay, or by various terms for specific color-related variants such as blue screen.

With Fotoloco’s green screen feature, you can use multiple custom digital backgrounds for your Fotoloco photo booth during your parties.

This makes it much easier  for your Fotoloco photo booth digital backgrounds to match your theme or motif perfectly.   Imagine the creative possibilities!

I said, ‘Think about the next project you have on the table,’ and I asked him also to think about instances where people have challenged him.  If you look at that shot, you can see the intensity. It was my intention that by looking at him, that you knew this guy was smart,”

On another note, Mike Matas, a former Apple employee, has posted in Facebook a series of fun photos that Steve Jobs took while testing the Photo Booth filters in the Apple HQ.

Nice to see this side of him, yeah? 

Thank you, Steve, for inspiring us to think different.  You’ll be missed.

Make time for fun. – Fun is way underrated.  With all of our responsibilities, fun seems like an indulgence.  It shouldn’t be.  It should be a requirement.  Ponder what you did to have fun when you were younger and go do it again.  Leave the yard unmowed for a weekend and get out on the town.  When you’re older, you will remember the fun, not the freshly mowed yard.

We think so, too.  When we’re older, as we look at our old photos and mementos, we will remember the fun moments we’ve shared with family and friends.  Cheers to fun and deciding to be happy!

Your thoughts.  What’s your favorite happiness habit?  We’d love to hear your own

One of our fave photography book authors, Scott Kelby, shares in his blog his own heartbreak of losing a full memory card.  He later shares what his pal, Brad, used to recover the memory card.

Your thoughts. Have you lost your memory card with all your images in it?  How were you able to recover it?

Well, it turns out a doting dad’s idle time in the hospital inspired today’s cellphone cameras. Read this interesting story on how a baby’s arrival in 1997 gave birth to the idea of the cellphone camera.

Your thoughts.  Do you think a camera feature is essential when buying a cellphone nowadays?

Maybe it was meant to solicit feedback as to what kind of lenses their fans use and for what purpose/s.  However, the post has generated quite a whirlwind of reactions from various sectors, with more than 4,000 comments at our last count.

Your thoughts.  Do you agree or not – that a photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses?
