3D Video – A BOLT Pop-Up Book [With or Without Glasses]

02 Nov

HOW TO VIEW IN 3D: 23 August 2010 Update: Please note that the 3D menu is now embeded into the new YouTube player. Just mouse over the button labeled “3D” and the menu will pop up. Click on the “3D View Style” menu then select how you’d like to view. You can only see this menu on the video page itself and not on a channel page. You can get out your 3D glasses and choose “Red/Cyan” which are pretty common. If you don’t have glasses, then select “Cross-eyed” or “Parallel” and cross you eyes slightly or focus behind the screen to make the 2 videos overlap into 1. If you’re not able to overlap images with your eyes, you may want to just purchase a cheap pair of glasses somewhere online or buy a 3D movie from the store and use those glasses. Don’t forget to click the full screen button on the bottom right of the video player if you are viewing with glasses. It looks and pops out way more awesome. Sorry, Disney’s fancy RealD polarized glasses don’t work here on YouTube. IF THIS DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU: – Cross-eyed or Parallel viewing can be difficult if you don’t have control over your eye muscles. Try sitting away from the screen a bit or just get some practicing. There are a lot of cool videos like this on the net and tutorials on how to view 3D without glasses. If you still can’t get it right, maybe you’ve made the wrong selection for “Parallel” or “Cross-eyed”. – If you’re using glasses and the image seems to be inside out or not working at all, then use your glasses the

2011 Volvo S60 – New York Auto Show – Kelley Blue Book

29 Oct

FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT: www.kbb.com Volvo describes their new S60 Sedan as naughty. If striking looks and improved handling make a car naughty, then sure, the 2011 Volvo S60 might just be naughty. On the other hand, a wealth of safety features, including a new pedestrian detection system with automatic braking, make the S60 seem downright responsible. Naughty or not, the 2011 Volvo S60 looks to be another compelling product from the land of fermented herring and build-it-yourself furniture. In this video Volvos Thomas Broberg shares all the naughty details about the 2011 Volvo S60 with Kelley Blue Books Jack Nerad.

First developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer, the Zone System is one of the most enduring methods for understanding – and mastering – exposure. In the fifth edition of his well-regarded book ‘The Practical Zone System for Film and Digital Photography’ Chris Johnson explains why the Zone System, developed as paradigm for film shooters, can also be easily applied in the digital age. Adam Koplan takes a look.

30 September, 2012 – The Digital Negative Book

16 Oct

Jeff Schewe has just published an important new book titled The Digital Negative. I have created a brief review (more like a plug) for my friend’s book. But, my bias aside, it really is that good, and it should find its way to your bookshelf tout suite.


Sony A99

I have started field testing the brand new Sony A99 full-frame 24MP camera. I will be shooting with it in Algonquin Park next week, and expect to have my review available some time the week after.

 

 "Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things.  I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are, 
how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information 
and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently, 
and just enough humor to keep the motivation
 level high.  Wow!"

Book Review: Sketching Light by Joe McNally

31 Jul

CoverMacNally.jpg

Bestselling author Joe McNally (The Moment It Clicks and The Hotshoe Diaries) has written another accessible, entertaining book – Sketching Light: An Illustrated Tour of the Possibilities of Flash. In contrast to his earlier volumes, which were often rich with images and reminiscences from his storied editorial career, his latest book is more technical, covering methods for creating and shaping light using all manner of strobes. This is far from a prescriptive ‘how to’ guide though, says Adam Koplan.
