@Grameenphone introduces #DigitalNinja in Bangladesh

Grameenphone, the most powerful network of Bangladesh, launched an online onboarding platform for coders and developers called ‘Digital Ninja’ on November 6, 2018, at an event at Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka.

Honorable State Minister, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Mr. Md. Mujibul Haque, MP, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Mr. Wahid Sharif, President, BACCO, and Mr. Syed Almas…

     My Neewer CN-216 Lights came with two filters, a clear diffuser and a warming, Amber one. They are great for changing the color temperature, but not at helping add any style or setting a particular mood. 

     After watching a YouTuber, I went to my local Dollar store and looked for some plastic folders or dividers that might work. They had some lighter weight cellophane wrapping paper, but I wanted something a little thicker. In the school/office supply section, I found what I was looking for; 8 different colors!!!

     If you are going to do this project this is all you will need: Plastic Dividers, Scissors, a Marker-Pen, and your LED filter so you can outline/stencil it.

     I was able to make 3 gels from one folder. I laid down the Amber filter and traced it 3 times. I kept the scraps and was able to make an additional gel for an old Canon Camera Light.

     After I cut them out, I checked them in the light to make sure the size and fit we're good. I did this for each of them to makes sure they weren't buckling and slid in really easy.  

     They look pretty good. They are a little thin though. They add a subtle hue, versus, a deep or rich color. What I found is if you double up the light blue with the blue, or light pink with red, you get some really nice color. They make more expensive, thicker ones and even light corrective ones. Those run like $80!!! For $3 and an hour and a half, these will add a little versatility to your LED light kit.   

Izumi, digital ninja.  An old OC design that I wanted to revamp, and still am in the process of.

I started sketching before lunchtime and slammed out the rest after I got back from going out today.  I wanted to hit some of those TRON-esque notes, but I’ll probably fix it up more and more as I go on.  I like the under-glow feel of stuff like that, and the edging.  I couldn’t resist doing a pixelscarf, though.

Taking notes for my next job interview as a social media guru.

Let me send you a link on how to maximize your free time.

I am going to blog, and tweet, and tumblr.

I've been watching some videos earlier and Scott Kelby had an interview for his book (that was launched a while back) "The Moment It Clicks". What I got from the interview is only show your strongest photos.

One reason is that if you show 20 "holy shit" shots that would definitely drop your clients, or viewers of your photos to the floor and say that you're a photography god, then a lot of people would look at you and say "you're a great photographer". Nevermind the 200 or 300 other shots that you took that didn't make the cut. Let me clarify, this is not cheating. This is showing your best foot forward.

If you can produce a kick-ass photo set and other people see it, then you'll find a lot of people will either hire you as their photographer or consider you for their next shoot. Again, it's not about quantity, it's about quality.

Try adopting it on your portfolio. If you want a dumping site for the other 500 photos, then facebook would be nice or any other networking site. These sites are there so people can view your bulk work. Would show you are getting a lot of gigs / projects.

Personal portfolio or your professional site would differ. Clients don't want 500 "good" photographs. They'd rather see 20-50 awesome-kick-ass-slap-in-the-face photography god photos. This also reflects on you as a good photo editor. You will have the status of "knowing your photos" and "knowing what a kick-ass" photo is.

Though I'd state here, some photographers only process one photo of a model or a client which get's put on a site.. common man, you snapped 200 photos and you'd only put up one? It's either: A. You don't like the model.

B. You're lazy at processing.

C. All your shots are "that" bad. 

If I shoot 200 photos at my current stage of shooting for a year, I'd get around 20 good photos from it (roughly 10%) (remember I stated good as I'm still in the process of creating that kick-ass photo dunno when I'll get there though but still trying) but as far as I know, they're my strongest photos. Hence they get put up. Don't be a douche and process only one... Your models/clients deserve better.

Yes...I've joined the tumblr movement. Hell I figure if you can't beat them, join them. So here is my first random ass post. I saw this a few months ago and thought it was HILARIOUS! It really does speak to a lot of peeps out here who ramble, and have no type of real experience. So I RE-PRESENT to you (because I'm sure you've probably already seen this)..."DIGITAL NINJA"

Jason and I wrote this in a cathartic spasm of frustration. It's since received over 75,000 views and 1100 loving tweets. Thanks to everyone (special thanks to @seth_weisfeld, @malbonnington, @72andSunny, @modernista, @tweetrod, @uberblond, and @stellawongo).
