  • High Megapixels Magic Trick

    Questions? Go here: www.youtube.com Here’s how to get more megapixels out of your camera using a tilt/shift lens. Note, this will work in a controlled environment only, obviously. Here’s some full-size samples, enjoy! img296.imageshack.us img237.imageshack.us img265.imageshack.us FAQ Question: I have a non-tilt/shift lens, can I mount it on a tripod and pan the camera around? Answer: Shifting a tilt/shift lens will keep the flat perspective that you can not accomplish by panning the camera around. Panning the camera around will lose the perspective. Question: What about using the focusing rack to shift the camera and lens combo? Answer: Focusing rack is designed for macro photography only to make it easier getting the subject in focus without touching the lens. Shifting the camera and lens combo may work only if your subject is up close but not when it’s too far away. Question: If I want to keep similar aspect ratio, is there a way to do that? Answer: Turn the camera vertically, rotate the tilt/shift lens 90º to the left or left, and then shift away. Question: What about GigaPixel? Answer: Again, it won’t keep the flatness.

    • Martin Wolf geht das Wort iPhonegraphy auf den Zeiger. Deshalb geht er der Wortbedeutung auf den Grund und zeigt nebenher noch ein paar großartige Aufnahmen, die er mit dem Apfelgerät geschossen hat.

    • Ein Interview mit dem Unterwasser-Fotografen Martin Edge.

    • Gaby Reichelt erzählt der Fotocommunity, wie sie ein Polarlicht fotografierte. Heraus kam jedenfalls ein spektakuläres Bild.

    • „Im Sommer reisen, im Winter davon erzählen.“ So klingt das Traumleben des deutschen Reisefotografen Michael Martin. Aber ist es wirklich so schön, wie es klingt? Ein lesenswerter Artikel auf Spiegel Online erzählt mehr.

    • Seifenblasen haben ohnehin etwas Magisches, doch diese Umsetzung von Jason Tozer, die an die Darstellung von Planeten erinnern soll, sprengt dann doch den üblichen Rahmen.

    • Bei den Fotos von Jan Kriwol müsst Ihr sicher auch zwei Mal hinsehen.

    • „He’s a fucking bully“, sagt Joel Meyerowitz, als er in einem großartigen Interview auf Bruce Gilden angesprochen wird. Aber auch sonst ist das Portrait über Meyerowitz ein fantastischer Artikel für jeden, dem der Name etwas sagt.

    • Wer zwischen dem 24. November 2012 und dem 14. Januar 2013 in Tokyo ist, sollte mal nach Harajuku fahren und sich im Pop-up Photo Booth des japanischen Kreativstudios PARTY ablichten lassen. Der Clou: Man nimmt statt eines Fotos eine 10 bis 20 cm große Figur von sich mit. Der Wermutstropfen: Kostet natürlich nicht wenig.

    • Ausführliche Bildunterschriften wären noch toll gewesen, aber trotzdem können sich diese Top 10 Panoramafotos von der letzten GamesCom in Köln diesen Sommer sehen lassen.

    • „Anonymous antique photographs“ – diese Facebookseite hat nicht umsonst über 10.000 Fans.

    • Gruselig: Manchmal enstehen die besten Fotos aus reinem Zufall, wie hier, als User Liammm ablaufendes Wasser fotografierte und merkte, dass ihn ein Auge anschaute.

    Just Posted: Our samples gallery from the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD. The company’s latest fast maximum aperture, stabilized standard zoom was announced back in February, but really comes into its own with the recent announcements of more affordable full-frame bodies from Canon and Nikon. We’ve put together a gallery of images shot in a variety of situations with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III to give a taste for what it can do.
