I love anything graphic design that has that vintage grunge kind of look. In this tutorial you’ll see how to create a stunning vintage Polaroid effect in Photoshop. It’s fairly simple to make and can be used in many different types of projects. What You’ll Need This tutorial will be completed using mostly filters and fills, but we will need three photos to complete the look. The first is the tractor image we’ll fill in the Polaroid with, if you have an image you’d like to substitute, by all means use that.
Onwards, to the Polaroid Effect Tutorial Start by creating a new document in Photoshop to the specs you like, I used 500px by 500px.Grab the gradient tool (shortcut ‘g’ on the keyboard), set gradient type to radial gradient. Within the gradient editor set the first color stop to a nice brown (I used #6e5f3a) and set the second color stop to a darker brown (I used #171613). We are going to add more texture and interest to our background. Add some noise. About the Author. Photoshop Tutorials » Creating A Retro Grunge Poster.

Learning How to Shoot Video and Time-lapse Footage : Traveling with Ariel Bravy. After the 6 day camping trip alongside a river, I went back to a nearby location and spent 30 days camping on the side of the mountain in the forest. The video above is a compilation of still photos and moving videos that I put together. In fact, I’ve had SO much fun creating that video and learning how to do more of it, that I haven’t been interested in investing the time and energy in publishing a full-out blog post on the 30 day trip. With that said, I’ve been really getting into video lately.
As illustrated above, it’s amazing how much more depth you get from a moving photo versus a still photo! And so as I’m doing some research learning all about this stuff, I’d like to let you guys in on the fun and show you what all’s goin’ down behind the scenes here in Ariel-land. You see, it’s videos like this timelapse of a volcano eruption in Iceland that really light me up, that illustrate what I’d like to do out on my hikes. That’s the outdoorsy daytime/nighttime hiking/camping side of it.

Making fine prints in your digital darkroom Tonal quality and dynamic range in digital cameras by Norman Koren updated Feb. 15, 2005 Prints made from images captured on digital cameras can have extraordinary tonal quality, comparable to the finest full-toned traditional prints. But to reach their full potential they must be processed properly, which involves changing default camera settings and moving away from standard file formats.
This page covers the key steps for achieving ultimate tonal quality, which include, Storing images in RAW format-- the image sensor's native format, Converting and editing images using file formats with a bit depth of 16 (48-bit color or 16-bit B&W), and Using curves to adjust tones. When you store images in RAW format you can also take advantage your camera's hidden dynamic range; you can access tones that may be obscured or lost when images are stored in a standard file format such as a JPEG-- the default for most digital cameras.

Eileen Cowin. 10 Things You Didn't Know About Guillermo del Toro's Monsters. FEATURE: Zomby Interview. Hidden in the middle of the Tate Modern’s sprawling Pop Life exhibition is a startling recreation of Keith Haring’s Pop Shop. The floors, walls and ceilings are covered in his bold, monochromatic graffiti, and garish, branded products new and old are shilled while vintage rap mixtapes blast around the room. London’s monolithic modern art gallery dragged a small corner of New York’s SoHo back from the ’80s in vibrant, living color. Zomby and I had arranged to meet here, but for reasons known and still somewhat unknown, our plans changed.
You may have heard Zomby does this. Or maybe you haven’t. The truth is Zomby is not at all what you expect. Zomby is a producer, one of the most daring around. If you live in London or loiter on dubstep forums, you might know Zomby from this year’s One Foot Ahead Of The Other, which saw chipped-console sounds spin and collide with a bassless bang like they’d been composed inside a particle collider.
There are a lot of stories about you. The bizarre musical instruments behind classic scifi movie sounds. If it is realistic or plausible, then it is not science fiction. There's a lot of possible definitions of SF that make sense, certainly. But plausibility never really struck me as particularly good. The problem, to my mind, is that to really split apart the literary efforts of perhaps-SF writers into the "could happen" and "could not happen" would require essentially perfect knowledge of all things.
If I wrote, say, a story where the Messenger probe sends back the first images of the side of Mercury we could never see before and discovers a vast ruined structure that's obviously artificial — what have I written? Observed from 2004 it's surely plausible. Now trying to define SF beyond "the thing I'm pointing at when I use the term" is a favorite pastime for the SF fandom. What this reminds me of, at least a bit, is Robert Conquest: 'Sf's no good,' they bellow till we're deaf. 'But this looks good.'—- 'Well then, it's not sf.' "If you get bored with nothing to do, you are not a writer": Guillermo del Toro's words to live by. @greenman1: Because you are an insightful and perceptive snowflake.
@greenman1: In the extra materials for Pan's Labyrinth, he talks a bit about the scene where the woman slices the fascist's mouth/cheek open in a grotesque way. He mentioned that when he depicts violence, he likes to depict an unconventional or surprising sort of violence, because it feels more visceral and affecting than clichés like a shotgun blast, a stabbing, or even an amputation, despite those being more objectively violent acts. That's probably only part of the puzzle, though. @bakana: He's from "Upper Class" (for Spanish...hahaha) stock. His family is pretty rich/well off. From what I heard they got kidnapped in Mexico and held for ransom by "Heroic Revolutionaries" / "Savage Banditos" and/or/some mixture "Drug Smugglers" and they really roughed them up.
That was when he was really young. I don't dislike Del Toro, I love him especially for that, whatever the truth may be. 3 Reasons Why Inception Was Robbed For Best Director – Latest Nerdy Pop Culture News. So today, the Oscar nominations were announced and one name I was sure would make the list would be Christopher Nolan for Best Director. Oscar doesn’t give nominations to newcomers but after Dark Knight and Memento, I thought he’d finally get a nomination. Instead here are the directors that are up for the running: Darren Aronofsky for Black Swan (2010) Ethan Coen, Joel Coen for True Grit (2010) David Fincher for The Social Network (2010) Tom Hooper for The King’s Speech (2010) David O. Out of the 5 directors, I’d have taken out Russell. Nolan on the shoot of Dark Knight Here are the 3 reasons why Christopher Nolan was nominated for best director for Inception: 1) Story - In the first ten minutes of the film, the audience already accepts the idea of the dream world. 2) Special Effects – Majority of Inception’s budget of $160 million could’ve been used for special effects but Nolan instead used the budget on actors and shooting on real set locations.
Phrases And Philosophies - Oscar Wilde. Bibliographic Notes: First published in the 1894 December (and only) issue of the Oxford student magazine The Chameleon. The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered. Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others. If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty. Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither. A really well-maded buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature. Religions die when they are proved to be true. The well-bred contradict other people. Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance. Dullness is the coming of age of seriousness. In all unimportant matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential.
If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out. Pleasure is the only thing one should live for. No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime. S L O W L Y D O W N W A R D. Tools for creating ideas.
