Photography plugins site launched

redrex now has a dedicated site for its plugins. plugins.redrex.co.uk. Two new products are also now available redrex Base Gallery and redrex RAW Creative Presets 2 (LR3).


The redrex Base Gallery is a powerful HTML gallery capable of showing hundreds or even thousands of photographs per gallery all of different sizes with a simple, customisable and easy to use interface. Its features include a slide show, thumbnail paging, text captions for each photo, facebook like button, latest web standards using HTML5, CSS3 & jQuery 1.7, backwards browser compatibility, plus much more.

 


A collection of 10 creative presets, plus 10 more presets from an updated version of the RAW Creative Presets 1 for Lightroom 3.

  • Burnt Style – 70s style colouring with autumnal tones.
  • Infrared Filter BW – I created this to use with photos taken using a Hoya R72 Infrared filter, to convert to BW images. Also works great to create studio BW photographs from non infrared images.
  • Lo-fi Modern – Lo-fi film look, but keeping the image quality high and a bit more punch to the colours.
  • Lo-fi Prime – A true lo-fi film look with dreamy colours.
  • Muted – Wash out soft effect.
  • Pink Splash – Pink colouring effect.
  • Bright Drama- Creates soft tones with a vintage look.
  • Impact – For photos lacking contrast and colour hit them with this.
  • Sepia Love – Sepia tones with good contrast.
  • Sunset – Gives your sunset photos a boost in contrast and brings out the reds, oranges and yellows.

Lowepro Nova 190 AW camera bag review

LoweproNova190AW

  • Exterior dimensions – 33 x 23.5 x 24 cm
  • Interior dimensions – 29 x 16 x 20 cm
  • Weight – 0.8KG
  • Weatherproof cover

I’ve owned the Lowepro Nova 190 AW camera bag for over 6 months now and I’m glad I choose it. I invested in the bag due to my old Lowepro Nova 160 bag wearing out at the zip after 4 years good service. Looking at the Lowepro camera bags available at the time of buying I wanted to get a balance between the size of the bag in terms of portability and what kit I could fit in it. The Lowepro Nova 190 AW at first struck me as massive when compared with my old bag, but after a few trips out with it I soon appreciated the space for kit especially for wedding use. The bag can easily fit the following…

Lowepro Nova 190 AW weather proof cover

The only negative comment I have about this bag is the weather cover, which does an excellent job of protecting your kit from the elements, but getting the cover out and fixing it in place isn’t that quick when compare with the Lowepro Nova 160. If you think its probably going to rain on your shoot make sure the cover is already on before you leave the house, it’s a lot easier to do then!

If you’re considering buying a camera bag in this size range there are these bags also to consider…

Pros
- Good value for money.
- Well padded strap.
- Great weatherproofing.
- Plenty of smaller pockets included to store the smaller bits of kit.

Cons
- Weatherproof cover isn’t quick to install.
- May not be the bag for you if want to fit 2 large SLR cameras like the Canon 5D Mk2.
