Godox Light Modifier test

This week I was in the studio testing several different light modifiers from Godox they included the 180° light sphere the snoot and the 3 in 1 beauty dish / gridded softbox. This isn’t a “right or wrong way to use them” blog, I just wanted to document the differences for every one to see. None of these lightmoidiferes are expensive so getting the light setup you want and need should be an easy task.

Photokina …. Part II

After finally finding my way out of the labyrinth that was “made in china world” I set of to find Ben and Teymur, all I knew was that they were somewhere… And as fate would have it as I was on the going down escalator there they were passing by on the opposite escalator going up  …

Having a chance to catch up with the guys was great, they were there working for Manfrotto and dragged me along with them to the RED camera stand which seem like a good idea at the time….

Light Blaster turns your system flash into a portable slide projector allowing you to project slide images onto or behind your subject. In consideration of the vast amount of existing slides, the potential of Light Blaster is infinite.

Karlsruhe 1932 … Part 2

This may be the last batch of scans for a while, as the rest of the glass negatives are either highly over or under exposed. The standard software that comes with my scanner isn’t the best. It looks like i will probably have to invest in Silverfast or some thing similar.

Karlsruhe 1932 … Part 1

Recently we were at “my Wife’s, Uncle’s, Partner’s birthday”. During dinner she remarked “Scott I have something for you”…. My ears picked up and was curious as to what she had. It turns out she was cleaning out her cupboards and found a box of 100 old glass negatives of Karlsruhe (the city in Germany where we live). The photos were taken by her long dead husbands farther. i.e my Wife’s, Uncle’s, Partner’s, ex- Farther in-law.

New Sony Cameras, Lenses and accessories announced

70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM II

Last year I was looking at getting the 70-400 but waited when i was told there would be a new version early this year.  The revised 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II is ideal for capturing wildlife and action-packed sports. The upgraded super-telephoto zoom builds further on the premium performance of its predecessor with enhanced optics and faster, more responsive auto-focus. With its new LSI drive circuit, auto-focus speed of the SSM (Super Sonic Wave Motor) is around four times quicker than before. Teamed with enhanced tracking AF, the upgraded lens is now even more suitable for capturing stills and Full HD video of fast-moving subjects.

Applying make-up during the infancy of film

I found this while searching for some extreme make up tips (for project shoots latter this year). For fom reason i thought it was cool and would shear it with the world. It is an early guideline for applying make-up during the infancy of film. Colors and bone structure had to be exaggerated and contradictory for the lighting and cameras to broadcast a natural look.

Strobist kit in a bag…

Intro

I actually didn’t intend to “win” this item on E-Bay. It was one of those ahh just bid on it for fun. And I won at half the normal kit price.

I thought it was a cool idea for a “starter kit” (which I don’t actually need, so lets call it a “booster pack”), but I also didn’t want to pay the normal E-Bay full price of 99€. I paid just over 50€ including postage. It contains all the basics a strobist kit would need, and it all packs away in one small carry bag.

Before there was Photoshop III ….Photo-Secession

Intro

The Photo-Secession (circa 1902–1907) was a period of photography where photographers fought to have photography taken seriously as an art form. The box brownie came out a few years earlier, and costing $1 photography was affordable to the masses. Photography was seen as a non art form as it simply mechanical reproduced reality and couldn’t be compared to painting or drawing. Basic photography had become so easier

Alfred Stieglitz (January  1864 – July, 1946) was an American photographer and modern art promote. He was also instrumental in founding the Photo-Secession who was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form.he wanted to take photography away from what e called “Commercial Trash” and a new form need to be developed to separate it from “Artless amateur photography”.
