Full Moon Silhouettes – markg.com.au | visual effects > photography > videography. Full Moon Silhouettes is something that I’ve been wanting to capture for a over a year now. The video is a real time capture of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in the capital city of Wellington, New Zealand. On the evening of the 28th January 2013, after a lot of planning and many failed attempts, I finally managed to pull it off.

There were numerous factors I had to consider and get right to capture the footage. The weather, moon phases and finding a suitable location where I could actually get the moon rising directly over the lookout. Technically, getting the shot was quite difficult. This image was taken almost a month after I originally shot Full Moon Silhouettes. Technical details – The footage was shot with a Canon 1D MkIV in video mode, with a Canon EF 500mm f/4 lens and a Canon 2x Extender, giving me the equivalent of a 1300mm focal length when taking into account Canon 1D MkIV’s 1.3x crop factor with the APS-H sensor.

So is it real? Be Sociable, Share! Mastering the Art of Black and White Photography. In the early days of photography, photographers had no choice but to shoot in black and white, as it was the only available medium. Then, in 1936, the invention of kodachrome gave colour photography to the world. But black and white photography didn't die off, instead it flourished. Modern black and white photography at it's best is art, and many photographers regard it as the purest form of photography. So why does black and white photography command such acclaim? One reason is that colour is a distraction.

It takes attention away from the visual building blocks of a great photo; texture, tonal contrast, shape, form and lighting. Another reason is that color photography, much of it mediocre, is so abundant that black and white makes a refreshing change. From an artistic viewpoint; color depicts reality. 1. The key to successful black and white photography is learning to see the world in monochrome. As you're evaluating your subject, try and imagine how it will look in black and white.

The Lubitel 166U was made by Lomo in Leningrad (now St.

Petersburg), Russia. The Lubitel is the poor man's twin lens reflex camera. Being made of plastic, it is sometimes lumped into the toy camera category, but it does have a glass lens and other features like several apertures and shutter speeds. Despite the apparent ability to "control" this camera, I have to admit that this isn't my favorite machine. Although bright, the screen is really hard to focus. It has a ground circle in the center and a small magnifying glass to help with the task, but the results don't seem worth the effort. Specifications Edit.
