Lulurastaloca 3D

Anaglyph 3D glasses needed- red/cyan lense www.youtube.com/user/TranceDance3D
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Note: This is a fully rendered 3D home video, and does not use YouTube’s real time filter. This was a permanent filter on this video before uploading to YouTube. This is also a demo to test out Sonny Vegas Pro 10, and it’s 3D editing capabilities. The unfiltered video can be found here for use with more 3D viewing options: : www.youtube.com Note: You will need Green/Magenta anaglyph glasses to watch this in 3D. They can be found cheaply online – or in my case taken from the Blu-Ray version of “Monster’s Vs. Aliens” (NORMAL blu-ray, NOT 3D Blu-Ray). Due to this being native 3D, there is more cross talk than normal as the video apparently had a slight shift in color upon processing, and is not the fault of the camera itself.

The art in nature that the camera eye sees

The art in nature that the camera eye sees

I take intermittent leave here to work on projects that have me posting studies of shared stunning photographs with brilliant poetry that complement each frame in Facebook.

One fine late afternoon, I espied the sunset from my window where my work station at home is conveniently located and I took a photograph of it that had me writing an intro in the final entry of the first batch of studies that I now share an excerpt of, that you may know- it will take me time to correspond with each of you I so fondly remember wherever site I go to…

I am an avowed photo enthusiast who reads poetry in the artworks I find in each frame. I have seen an overwhelming number of outstanding photographs of artists all over the world that hugely stuns the imagination – bringing one to the reality of the more sublime art, photography has evolved into.

How do we classify this vis-à-vis with contemporary art? It comes with acknowledging the pervasive influence of high-technological advancements in our time, one that composes a photograph to a virtual work of art.
Is it any less than the traditional form? I think not. I would like to think that any form of art that uplifts the human spirit, indubitably defines excellence to a level of greater understanding and thus acceptance.

I post photographs with images that match poetry so that one is able to imagine the combination of visual art with its written form to a cohesive whole. With the experience derived the heart and mind opens to see and feel a whole new perspective outside of the self.
And the result is the virtual alliance formed between the art and the beholden. You just know when you have arrived, because you remember the feeling of ultimate fulfilment of the shared experience; and then ultimately, you are made the better for it.

The poetry of esteemed and fresh poets – moves within the images in the photographs of the masters; and then the reader/viewer waits for the story of the poem to unfold; and when it does with the images that come suddenly so alive- nothing else could be the same for him, as the finer art of having truly lived the life of another.

Want. This. Light.

02 Aug

So, here’s a light source you don’t see every day. Dunno know who makes it, or even if it is store-bought (as opposed to DIY). But it’s pretty freakin’ cool.

The navel gazing in the Flickr group over what these giant light sticks might be has devolved into a discussion of blow-up lawn ornaments, natch. But Strobist reader Jonathan Camere of Lima, Peru (and a bit of a car photographer himself,) chimed in with a link to the video.

Lotsa cool stuff in here. The camera (PhaseOne back on a Contax body) is physically joined, offset, to the car to get perfect pans over time exposures. Thus the need for continuous lighting.

Anyone knows anything about those mods, hit us in the comments.

Oh, and let them be cheap please.

Nikon D7000 Movie Mode Settings Explained

02 Aug

Looking for more info about Nikon’s movie settings for shooting video? Check out this quick video about what the user manual doesn’t explain. I received a comment on my previous D7000 video that you can change the aperture using the dials on the camera, while in Live View mode. The comment made me think some might be confused about recording in Live View in general, as the D7000 doesn’t presently allow you to change the aperture in Live View while using the dials. So I put this video together to show you how shooting with manual movie settings on is different than shooting with manual movie settings off. Stay tuned for my next video on video lens suggestions.

 
 

Fast, Light, Sharp and Cheap – The Canon 50mm f/1.8 EF II Lens

02 Aug

www.robnunnphoto.com The EF 50mm f belongs in the camera bag of every Canon photographer – it’s Canon’s cheapest lens, yet this great little prime offers sharp images, great low-light capability and fantastic selective focus options. The 50mm is more like the 35mm equivalent of an 80mm on a crop sensor camera, it’s slightly telephoto, so you’ll find yourself moving back a little if you’re into landscapes – but it’s a great portrait focal length. Build quality isn’t the best – but what do you expect for £100? Get one, stick it on your camera and have some fun. Cheers, Rob. Oh, and did I mention it’s cheap? 😉
