August 2013 1. Abelardo Morell 2. Alexander Gardner 3. Alexander Rodchenko 4. List: Top Ten Best Movies about Photography I love movies. Maybe even as much as photography. Being a fan of movies means I am also a fan of movie lists, because they help me to discover films I may not have seen. Also, with my being a mildly OCD photographer, I began thinking about which films relate to photography. There are surprisingly few that I have seen or heard of. So I decided to compile a list of my ten favorites, in ascending order. 10. Honorable mentions- Fur-an imagined biopic of of photographer Diane Arbus, who is played by Nicole Kidman.
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?
Buy Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless E-TTL Flash Trigger Transmitter + Receiver Set for Canon EOS DSLR - Black 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?
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.
The Genius of Photography In the course of our 170 year relationship, photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed us. But mainly, it has intrigued us by showing the secret strangeness that lies beneath the world of appearances. And that is photography's true genius. Follow the story of photography in BBC Four's six-part series 'The Genius of Photography'. See some of the most famous photographs ever taken and find out more about what made them so very special. The Genius of Photography is an excellent 6-part episode documentary initially presented on BBC, then to National Geographic, chronicling the history and progress of photography as an art form and a hobby that spanned from 19th century to this day. The film tells the tales behind the world’s greatest photographers, the first photographs they taken and the acknowledgement of photography being a reputable medium; from its usage as a necessary family ownership to the digital age.
