My Current Setup

My Current Setup, originally uploaded by MMetalgRound.

Ok so in case you guys are wondering what computer or what kind of computer setup I have in order for me to produce my photography and my graphic designs so here it is!
I’m using an HP Pavilion Elite PC connected to the 21.5” Samsung SyncMaster P2270 monitor and the 20” HP w2007 monitor. you can also see a third monitor it’s a 17” NEC MultiSync 1740CX monitor but it’s broken so yeah,I’m only using 2 monitors at the moment. You would also see a Compaq Presario C700 there I only use it to check emails and ordinary computer stuff,and to test some Vista solutions on it because I’m already using Windows 7 64-bit on my desktop and I’ve been using it for a couple of months now.

Headlights galore!

December 01, 2009 UPDATE!

Hey there dudes,

I Just want you guys to know that I changed my website name from MMetalgRound Design™ to MMetalgRound Graphics™.

Don't worry I won't stop doing my designs I'm going to do some photography and typography designs from time to time.

One more thing, as you can see I also changed my website theme from my lavenderish version of MrForScreen's Dark Paper with a Domo Miku Header into a (RED)™ version of MrForScreen's Dark Paper with a Uchiha Itachi Header.

Last but not the least I might be posting some tutorials on photography and graphic design here on my website too so don't forget to drop by.

Before and After The Sunset!

hey guys,so here is a quick before and after picture. this picture was taken when I was still really new to Photography and I still didn’t know how to take pictures of sunsets and sunrises correctly so here’s a quick tip to how to make a crappy sunset picture. I used Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 on this one. first I increased the black levels by 5 points it will depend on how dark you want the foreground is. then I Changed the Preset from Custom to General - Punch and I added Tone Curve - Strong Contrast. After that I decreased the Exposure by 2 points and it’s done. all the settings will depend on the Photo you took so my advice is for you to experiment.
