Just as important is for still photographers to watch films that depict he art of photography through Hollywood’s eye and also visit the stories of celebrated photographers through documentaries.

Alexander Rodchenko 4. 6 ideas from creative thinkers to shake up your work routine Every seven years, designer Stefan Sagmeister (TED Talk: The power of time off) closes his New York design studio for a year-long sabbatical. During each sabbatical, he pursues “little experiments, things that are always difficult to accomplish during the regular working year.” The effect on Sagmeister’s studio has been profound. “Basically everything we’ve done in the seven years following the first sabbatical came out of the thinking of that one single year,” he says. Don’t think you can take a year-long sabbatical? Keep to a schedule. Willa Cather wrote for three hours a day. Go for a walk. Artist and author Maira Kalman (TED Talk: The illustrated woman) regularly takes breaks from the studio to go walking. Seek inspiration. Creative minds need to refuel to stay sharp. Stop while you’re ahead. Novelist Henry Miller wrote until noon, then spent the afternoon recuperating and rejuvenating. Take a mini-sabbatical. Don’t think you can take time off?

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. Finally it all came together – I found the perfect location, and the weather in Wellington was amazing! Technically, getting the shot was quite difficult. This image was taken almost a month after I originally shot Full Moon Silhouettes. Music – I’ve also had a lot of comment on the music I’ve used. So is it real? So how is the moon so big and people so small? Hang on a minute…the moon is upside down and rising in the wrong direction?

Testování rádiového odpalovače Yongnuo YN-622C s podporou TTL a HSS | Fototipy Před několika dny jsem dostal na od přátel k narozeninám dálkový odpalovač pro externí blesky. Už delší dobu jsem toužil po takovém odpalovači, který bude podporovat jak režim TTL, tak i vysokorychlostní synchronizaci, neboli HSS (tedy focení s časem kratším než 1/250s). To se pomocí interního blesku v mém Canonu 60D bohužel nedalo. Jenže asi nejlevnější takový odpalovač, který lze sehnat u nás je Pixel King s cenou aktuálně začínající na 2249Kč. Rádiový odpalovač s děsným názvem Yongnuo YN-622C ovšem vypadá jako taková kopie Pixel Kingu (dost možná jde o stejné zařízení, jen v jiném obalu). Zatím jsem s nim nafotil jednu sérii portrétů, celkem přes 370 fotek a zatím to vypadá, že funguje velmi dobře. Odpalovač Yongnuo byl zakoupen na dealextreme.com za cenu 86,1$, tedy v přepočtu něco přes 1700Kč. Líbil se článek?

Expositions photo : les meilleures adresses de Paris Qu'il semble loin le temps où Paris se targuait d'être la plaque tournante du monde de l'art. Dépassée par New York, Londres ou Berlin, la Ville Lumière rame désormais cahin-caha pour rester à la pointe de l'art contemporain, paraît-il, tant la concurrence est rude côté peinture, sculpture, vidéo, street art... Exception faite de la photo. La capitale française, qui a vu naître le huitième art au XIXe siècle, demeure à bien des égards le centre névralgique de la création photographique : les musées déroulent les tapis rouges pour les maîtres de l'argentique, les galeries s'arrachent les talents émergents, le public se précipite aux portes des expos et Paris Photo, salon incontournable du mois de novembre, connaît un succès international grandissant. C'est d'ailleurs souvent ici que finissent par échouer les photographes contemporains des quatre coins du monde, en mal de reconnaissance.

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? 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. The successful black and photographer recognizes this, and searches out subject matter that looks better in black and white. As you're evaluating your subject, try and imagine how it will look in black and white. 2. 3. We're used to seeing in colour. 4. 5.
