This is part 2 of musician Robert Rich discussing the Synth Tech MOTM synth he is using on his current live tour. Additional info about Robert can be found on his web site hrobertrich.com I took the oportunity to record video clips of this evening on my Nikon D300s camera using an AF-S Nikkor 35mm lens. Sound was recorded just using the camera’s built in mic, which while not optimal, yeilded reasonably good results. Thank you for watching and don’t forget to watch part one!

Augmented reality meets architectural modeling in a remarkable best-of-both-worlds hybridization of two essential technologies for architecture designers, builders and (especially) clients. You have to see this video to believe it:
Inition takes a physical (real-world) model, places it on a pattern-mapped background, and presto: point your iPad at the object and all kinds of additional layers of information begin to map themselves onto the object, shifting as you change perspective.
Real-life simulations can thus be applied to the model, including wind and other weather patterns, day versus night views, pedestrians, trees, egress routes and traffic patterns. It helps visualize the kinds of things that are hard to picture purely on the screen, but generally impossible to show in actual space (let alone in context with map underlays and structural reveals).
From the creators: “The iPad is a fantastic platform for AR, making it easy to deploy and fun to use. Combined with fluid graphics, reliable tracking and the right content, we believe it is a game-changer in this new medium. We create bespoke apps for clients that can be pre-loaded or made available for download on the App Store”
Technology is taking over nearly every part of our lives, not that we’re complaining. These augmented reality projects add another layer to the everyday world.

Mass Art’s Spring 2009 Iron Pour.
www.eworksfestival.com/index.php?page=events/4_10
The Iron Pour has a strong history at Massachusetts College of Art, beginning as a fundraiser for the Metals Department, it has grown into a celebration of art, music, and performance. Recently, the Iron Corps., the group that organizes the event, has been working in conjunction with Eventworks, who will be kicking off their annual Art Festival. This spring, we will be invoking themes of outer space and the explosive demise of stars and planets . Aside from the spectacular sculptural performances by the Iron Corps. , activities will include face painting, fire dancing, visual shows, and four musical acts throughout the course of the night.

A long, long time aglow… but even the brightest shining light will inevitably fade to black. Such is the case with these 9 abandoned lighthouses, rendered into obsolete obelisks by the incremental progress of time and technology.

It may not look it but Whiteford Point Lighthouse, located just off the coast of Gower Peninsula at Whiteford Point, south Wales, was a triumph of engineering in its heyday. Think of it, how many cast iron structures dating from the end of the American Civil War are still standing today? Activated in 1866 and snuffed for good in 1921, the lighthouse’s metal walls were once covered in protective black bitumen.

105 tapered cast-iron plates, each one 32mm (1.28 inches) thick, form the lighthouse’s outer walls. The plates were fastened to one another with cast-iron bolts weighing 2 pounds each. Sixty years after its decommissioning and in response to pleas from area fishermen, the Whiteford Point Lighthouse was relit using an automatic solar-powered beacon but when that failed a few years later, the lighthouse was dimmed permanently.

Looking at first glance like a mythical Confederate secret weapon, the Sabine Pass Lighthouse in Cameron, Louisiana has stood watch over the Gulf coast since construction was completed in 1856. Though visually just a shadow of its original white-painted glory (black stripes were added in 1932), the octagonal brickwork tower stands 85 feet tall and sports 8 flying buttresses that give it a rocketship shape.

The Sabine Pass Lighthouse originally ran on whale oil and, barring the Civil War years, remained lit by one means or another from 1857 to 1952. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and having survived countless hurricanes and marsh fires, presently awaits restoration.

Built in 1897 and inactive since 1944, Gardskagi Light is located on the northwestern tip of the Reykjanes peninsula about 8 km (5 miles) northwest of Keflavik. The lighthouse consists of an 11 meter (36 ft) tall square tower with a small attached single-story equipment room.

The lighthouse’s lantern has been removed but rather than let the remains slowly deteriorate, the local authorities have reinvented the site as a fenced bird-watching tower with access to the topmost level via the internal stairway. With its whitewashed walls and natty twin red bands, the Gardskagi Light seems about as happy as an abandoned Icelandic lighthouse can be.
These seven abandoned and inactive lighthouses represent marine history, and stand as tall, quiet beacons to what once was.

These 7 scenic sentinels slowly succumbing to wind and waves ask, is a lighthouse still a lighthouse when the light goes out and no one’s left to call it home?

This is a film Nikon asked me to shoot to show the capabilities of the D800 in different shooting scenarios as a professional DP. The film was shot almost entirely on the D800, with just a few shots on the D4. Mainly using the Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8, but also a few shots on the 105mm Macro (for the close ups of the eyes). The film was lit and professionally graded and edited in Los Angeles. Didn’t have very much light with me, so it was challenging at times, but a good representation of what the average amateur or semi-professional shooter might have with him in terms of equipment etc. I mainly used 1/100th degree shutter, as it improves almost all video without becoming visibly narrow and “shuttery”. All in all, the camera is very good in video mode and easy to use. Access to the only three things that are important when shooting video; shutter, ISO and F-stop was easily reached through dedicated buttons, rather than being hidden in some deep crap menu like on most other cameras. Very little rolling shutter, no visible artifacts and a decent exposure latitude. Not as good as a Red or an Arri Alexa, but for a DSLR it’s pretty impressive. As with all digital cinematography, you need to protect your highlights at all costs. Do not fall into the trap of “ISO-ing” up to compensate for not having any lighting like 99% of the clips on YouTube do. That will burn backgrounds/highlights into unrecoverable oblivion and look shit. Sometimes this means having no information in the …
