We started sorting bricks out and after a couple of afternoons working on the camera obscura we managed to get some shots out of the thing. It was built using Lego pieces, duct tape, black cardboard and some glue. Closer view of the “front element”. A view of the back. The red window has a hatch to prevent light leaks. The take-up spool on the right is moved by hand through the gears on top, the unexposed film spool on the left (not loaded on this picture) moves slowly opposing the white clutched gear. Detail of the film advance mechanism. Without anything more precise than a centimeter ruler we estimated the pinhole’s diameter as 0.5mm. Here are a couple photographs taken with this Lego camera: Image credit: Photographs by Fernando Ramírez Martínez
Fernando Vicente – Vanitas | Illustration Born in Madrid, Fernando Vicente begins his career in the ’80′s, mixing illustration with painting. His unique style embodies bold and slightly aggressive visual concepts, giving him the freedom of playing with the composition. Experimentation is his motto, shifting and mixing different environments in just one work. In his series “Vanitas”, Vicente depicts the transient beauty of a woman’s body, juxtaposing an aristocratic attitude in his Hepburn-like beauties, with the reds and yellows of the flesh, all framed in a nicely textured cyan background.

Power Hower: The World's Most Advanced Power Hour Timer 10 Techniques for Amazing Portraits A guest post by San Diego Wedding Photographer, Wayne Yuan As full-time photographers shooting 30+ weddings a year, we have to admit, sometimes it’s easy to fall into the same old formulas when it comes to portraits. Even with new poses, taking portraits can become very mundane if the same compositions and angles are used for every couple–we’ve definitely been through that creative rut where our pictures start looking very familiar. 1. A lot of photographers out there say that their 50mm is a “must-have” portrait lens, but what a mid-range lens offers is a very familiar perspective, something that our eyes are used to seeing all the time. 2. Many times we are stuck seeing what is right in front of us. 3. During a wedding, our speedlites are never on-camera, even during the reception. 4. Shooting at mid-day is no easy task when using natural light. 5. It takes time and practice to train your eye to find great light. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
White Balance | Camera Basics Color Temperature To understand the concept of White Balance, you need to first understand the concept of color temperature. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light. How does the Light Affect the Color? You must have noticed some photos turn out with an orange/yellow cast if shot under tungsten lighting or a bluish cast if shot under fluorescent lights. Why to Adjust the White Balance? Since different sources of light have different color hues, a picture taken with a normal white balance under artificial lighting conditions transmits the low heat to the camera’s sensor. Preset White Balance Settings Auto – The Auto setting helps in adjusting the white balance automatically according to the different lighting conditions, but you can try other modes to get better results. Tungsten – This mode is used for light under a little bulb like tungsten, and it is often used while shooting indoors. Daylight – This mode is for the normal day light setting, while shooting outdoors.
