Converted Clock Tower: Ultimate Urban Loft with a View

09 Oct

[ By Steph in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ]

Converted Clocktower Penthouse 1

At the top of a former cardboard box factory built in 1915, within a clock tower overlooking Brooklyn and Manhattan, is one of New York City’s most remarkable residences. The pinnacle of the Clocktower Building is a three-story penthouse measuring over 6,800 feet, with four 14-foot glass clocks – one on every wall of the top floor.

The clocks offer massive, unparalleled views of the city in all directions. Additional windows provide a look at the Manhattan Bridge to the Statue of Liberty from a soaking tub. Or, simply go on the sky roof cabana and enjoy it in the open air.

Transformed from its industrial past, the penthouse features a ceiling that extends from 16 to 50 feet in height, as well as a glass-enclosed, three-story elevator running up the center of the space. It entered the market in 2009 for $ 25 million – the most expensive apartment on record in Brooklyn by far – and has now been lowered to $ 18 million.

For a while, as it went unsold, the clock tower penthouse was put up for rent for a mere $ 50,000 per month. It’s also been offered up for various special events while it sits on the market, including a dinner for Esquire Magazine.

The Ultimate Guide to Vine: Pro-Tips, Awesome Ideas, and Who to Follow!

21 Feb

It’s easy to forget about the video function built into your camera phone.

It’s just that videos end being too big to send to friends, and who wants to wait for a video to download anyway?

Man, are we spoiled. Back in our parents’ day, they had to carry 20lb VHS recorders just to shoot a few minutes of film! Us? We have a video recorder that fits in our pocket.

Vine fixes all of this and then some.

It’s an app that lets you share snippets of video –six seconds to be exact– in a super-digestible format. As you scroll through a stream of friends’ videos, the video on your screen instantly plays.

This isn’t just another Instagram. It’s a whole new platform for showing off your creativity. There’s so much you can do in six seconds!

Plus, you get to share life-experiences with friends as they happen. And that right there is pretty much the coolest thing your phone has to offer.

So get it, and then read on for all the best tips, ideas, and inspiration on Vine.

The Ultimate Guide to Vine

p.s. Hey DSLR lovers! Have you seen the Lensbaby Spark? It’s a way fun, bendable tilt-shift lens that’s totally affordable.

The ultimate Introduction to DSLR Filmmaking | Basic Tutorial

11 Feb

A tutorial by Fenchel & Janisch Facebook: www.fb.com YouTube: www.youtube.com This introduction to DSLR video is divided into six parts. Learn how to set up your camera, shoot in daylight and at night. This tutorial shows you how to get the cinematic film look that so many people are talking about. In the fall of 2008 Vincent Laforet was the first one to use the Canon EOS 5D Mark II which was the first digital SLR capable of recording full HD video. The short film he shot mostly at night, called “Reverie”, become popular over night. Something that Canon never intended got more and more in focus of amateur filmmakers all over the world: Shooting films and commercials with a stills camera. It only took a few month and the first accessories were released. Since then a lot has happened and a lot of TV shows like “House MD” or “CSI Miami” used DSLRs on set. Philip Bloom, another pioneer in digital filmmaking, used cameras on the Lucas Film production “Red Tails”. The small body and the great image quality has fascinated international acclaimed cinematographers like Rodney Charters (“24”). In independent cinema those cameras became indispensable.

Ultimate Nikon D5100 HD video test review, Fast moving object.

01 Feb

Filmed at 10mm. A boat in waves, lots of spray, pitching rolling, movement, very intricate detailed waves flying past. Can the camera cope? Watch the video to see. The lens was a Tamron 10-24mm with a polarising filter fitted, the lens was around 10mm when filming, to get an ultra wide view of the boat. The spray and the boat are fast moving and complex, great test to see how the camera copes with moving objects. The new Nikon d5100 has a 16.2 MP CMOS sensor much like that in the D7000, 1080p movie capability and a side-articulated 921K dot 3.0″ tilt/swivel LCD. The D5100 also becomes the first Nikon DSLR to be able to apply special processing filters to stills and video. The company has also introduced the ME-1 external microphone. The camera will be available from this month as a kit with the 18-55mm VR lens for 9.95 while the microphone will retail at 9.99.
