    First video test with my new Canon 600D “Lungomare Europa di Soverato” Standard Kit Lens EF-S 18-55 IS II Edit with Sony Vegas Pro 11. Color effects: * Map Gradient * Color Correction * Film Grain * Color Curves I know there are some flaws in this post-production (ex. too bright), but I wanted to give a vintage feel to make it look more artistic. I hope you like it. Please leave your comments… and critics 😉 Moisè Asta ( www.facebook.com ) SONG: Maxence Cyrin – Where is my mind

  • Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 2013

    Ich mochte die Fotografie nie, nicht um der Fotografie willen, jedenfalls. Ich mag das Objekt. Ich mag Fotografien, wenn man sie in der Hand hält.
    – Robert Mapplethorpe

    Fotografien zum In-der-Hand-Halten. Das Fühlen, Blättern und Riechen allein macht einen Bildband schon zu etwas Besonderem. Aber nicht nur das. Der Deutsche Fotobuchpreis prämiert jährlich Fotobücher. Aus 173 nominierten Titeln erhielten gestern Abend 22 Fotobücher das Prädikat „Sieger Deutscher Fotobuchpreis 2013“. Fünf davon wurden mit Gold, 17 mit Silber ausgezeichnet.

    Da die Teilnahme am Wettbewerb einen kleinen Beitrag kostet und erst ab einer Auflage von 500 Exemplaren möglich ist, liegen die bekannten, großen Verläge weit vorne. Besonders der Hatje-Cantz-Verlag und Steidl stechen aus der Masse hervor.

    ~

    In der Kategorie „Fotobildbände“ wurden folgende drei Werke mit Gold prämiert:

    Poppy Trails of Afghan Heroin*
    von Robert Knoth & Antoinette de Jong
    erschienen im Hatje Cantz Verlag
    Preis: 39,80 EUR

    Darkroom*
    von Adam Bartos
    erschienen im Steidl Verlag
    Preis: 45,99 EUR

    hier weit entfernt*
    von Pentti Sammallahti
    erschienen im Kehrer Verlag
    Preis: 55 EUR

    ~

    In der Kategorie „Fotogeschichte & Fototheorie“ erhielten Gold:

    Nostalgia: Das Russland von Zar Nikolaus II.*
    von Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii
    erschienen im Gestalten Verlag
    Preis: 49,90 EUR

    Documenting Science*
    von Berenice Abbott
    erschienen im Steidl Verlag
    Preis: 48 EUR

    ~

    Die 17 Silber-Preisträger findet Ihr auf der Seite des Deutschen Fotobuchpreises. Wir haben überlegt, ob wir etwas zu den einzelnen Bänden schreiben sollten. Da wir jedoch kaum eines bisher selbst im Regal stehen haben, werden wir die Gewinnerbücher in der nächsten Zeit erst einmal genauer unter die Lupe nehmen und wenn sie uns gefallen, natürlich auch rezensieren.

    Ohne Bedenken empfehlen können wir auf jeden Fall „Gärtners Reise“* von Sibylle Fendt, das unser Redakteur Robert Herrmann mit seiner Spürnase für besondere Fotobücher bereits in der Vergangenheit für Euch rezensiert hat.

    Kennt Ihr vielleicht eines der Fotobücher aus erster Hand und könnt mehr darüber erzählen, wie es Euch gefallen hat? Oder interessiert Euch eines der Bücher besonders, das wir zuerst für eine Rezension ansehen sollen?

  • 3D Sun

    In October 2006, NASA launched two spacecraft that would, for the first time in the history of space exploration, capture space-born, high-definition 3D images of the Sun. In 3D SUN, the leading NASA scientists from the mission unveil these images and take us behind the scenes to tell the story of the Sun and why it is of crucial importance to all of us. 3D SUN gives the audiences a chance to see the Sun up close in startling 3D. Stand above the arctic circle and witness the most brilliant auroras on Earth; take a ride on a solar blast from the Sun’s surface to Earth’s Magnetosphere, and come to a deeper understanding of what this vast sea of fire means to life here on Earth.

  • Portraits with Props: Weekly Photography Challenge

    Szúrópróba

    As a followup to our recent post on Adding Interest to your Portraits with Props we thought it might be fun to do one of our weekly challenges on the topic.

    So this week your challenge is to take and share a portrait photo that has some kind of ‘prop’. Really it can be any kind of prop (subtle or not) that you like whether it be some element of clothing (a hat, scarf etc), an accessory (sunglasses), having your subject hold something (flowers, balloons, an umbrella) or do something (type on a computer, blow a bubble with gum, ride a bike) or anything else.

    Have some fun with it!

    Once you’ve taken and selected the ‘Portrait with Props’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using our embed tool to do so.

    If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSPROP to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

    Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Backyard challenge where there were some great shots submitted.
