Accueil - Sylvain Lagarde - Photographie noir et blanc Women At Work In The 1940′s Before the WWII few women followed careers. Most jobs for women were ‘traditional’ roles such as nursing, secretarial or caring jobs. Only when millions of men joined the armed forces, women took on an active role in World War II and took on many paid jobs that previously had been held by men – such as bank teller, shoe salesperson or aircraft mechanic. Woman started working in factories – this was called the “Rosie the Riveter” phenomenon. As a way to lure young women into the factories, advertisers showed women workers as glamorous and even fashionable. It’s hard to believe but some of your grandmothers actually made WWII bombers! Women are trained as engine mechanics in thorough Douglas training methods, Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach, Calif. 1942 Oct. photographer: Palmer, Alfred T. Part of the cowling for one of the motors for a B-25 bomber is assembled in the engine department of North American Aviation, Inc.' Woman aircraft worker, Vega Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, Calif.
Sony 20mm f2.8 (APS-C E Mount) Who doesn’t like pancake lenses? They’re small, perform well, and often are stuck to our cameras because of their portability. So when Sony created the 20mm f2.8, we just had to get it onto a camera for a try. But that’s not why you’ll want to keep it on your camera. Pros and Cons Pros – Itty bitty size makes most E mount Alpha cameras feel like a point and shoot – Fast focusing – Really good color rendition – Pretty darned good sharpness for a pancake, but could be better Cons – A bit more pricey than I’d like it to be Gear Used We tested the 20mm f2.8 with the Sony NEX 6. Tech Specs Ergonomics Sony’s 20mm f2.8 is a very plain Jane and perhaps the company’s most minimalist offering. There are no controls on the lens. Build Quality This is a small and fairly sturdy lens, but the body feels a bit too plasticky for our liking. With the right camera, this lens makes a Sony E mount camera super pocketable.

Some Really Weird History Photos | Hossit - Galleries, Funny Pictures, People Pictures Back into the history, people were little bit weird. They are taking pictures funny dressed, with some really strange people, and I wanna say thanks to all people who saved these pictures, and allow us to see them today. I think that most of people will agree with me about these pictures, and for those who are not agree with me, take a look, and be a judge. So, take a look, and enjoy. Sony 24mm f1.8 (Sony NEX E Mount) As the current creme-de-la-creme of Sony’s NEX lenses, the 24mm f1.8 renders a near 35mm field of view on the 1.5x Crop APS-C sensor inside of their NEX cameras. When the NEX 7 came in for review, we nearly had it constantly mated to the camera. Plus, when the F3 was announced, the lens spent its fair amount of time on the camera. When I say we, I mean that I and a little more than half of the staff took it for a run. And we essentially all thought nearly the same thing. Tech Specs Information taken from the B&H Photo listing of the lens Ergonomics The lens isn’t really that large, and indeed the lens hood does make it seem larger than it really is. That’s really all there is to this lens. Autofocus This lens never ceased to amaze me. In fact, Sony has touted the NEX 7 and the lens as a Leica killer. A good thing to know is that the lens is also super silent to focus and one cannot feel the internal mechanisms moving at all. Not that we’d ask you to. Image Quality Sharpness Quirks Conclusions

Minor White. Et Minor White, photographe américain devait donc être une âme sensible, passée au révélateur des émotions. Minor White nous montrait qu’entre le photographe et son sujet il n’y avait aucune séparation. Humblement les voici juste suggérées. Rites et passages, titre de l’un de ses livres, pourrait résumer son œuvre. copywritten by The Minor White Archive, Princeton University haut de la page Une vie sans retouches Minor White jamais ne retouchait ses photographies ni au développement ni au tirage. Sa première grande exposition personnelle dans laquelle il met en œuvre ses principes se situe en 1948 au musée d’art de San Francisco. Il sera un professeur célèbre et recherché. Il fonde en 1952 la revue Aperture (L’ouverture en continu) qui deviendra une référence pour le monde de la photo. Il publie des essais comme « La conscience en photographie et la créativité ».
