Digital Cartridge for 35mm Film Cameras

April 5th, 2011



http://www.vimeo.com/19906099
The RE-35 is a cartridge just like the classic 35mm film roll that slides into the standard film camera compartment. The RE-35 cartridge uses flash memory to save the digital images in high resolution JPEG’s or RAW up to 4, 8 and 12 Megapixels.

To export the photos and charge the cartridge you connect the cartridge via USB to your computer. It works on both Mac and PC. Unfortunately there aren’t any test shots or tech specs on this just yet. I sure hope this is as good as it looks and not an April fools prank. It’s an awesome idea and I’d hope the quality would be representative of actual film. Curious about the cost for this thing because I’m completely sold.

What do you think about the cartridge?

Convert 8MM Film with the Canon 5D Mark II

March 16th, 2011


Super 8 and 8mm have always been my favorites when shooting video. Although transferring the film to digital has posed problems mainly because of its expense and decline in locations to transfer. The video above by James Miller shows his method for transferring 8mm footage to digital using the beloved 5D Mark II and an Eumig Mark 501 (or the Eumig 610D & the Eumig Mark DL). The end result looks great, is much much faster and way less expensive. Now I just need to get a 1D Mark IV or 5D Mark II.

Hit the jump for more information on the process and the transfer results.

Leica M9 Titanium Unboxing

February 23rd, 2011


Only 500 of these titanium Leica M9 rangefinders have been produced, talk about one exclusive, beautiful piece of metal. Each one is individually numbered and comes in a set with a Summilux-M 35mm F/1.4 lens, but definitely at a steep cost—$26,500. That’s just chump change anyways right?

The sensor in this body is an 18-megapixel CCD sensor with dual image processors; the camera itself was designed by Walter de’Silva. Continue reading to watch the boxing of the camera.

Zeiss 85mm F/1.4 ZE Planar Lens

February 8th, 2011





The first time I shot the Canon 85mm 1.2L I thought it was nice, but this Zeiss 85mm 1.4 looks pretty nice. The lens itself looks very precisely built and is visually beautiful. The optics appear to be comparative to Canon’s 85, but in a number of cases the Canon 85 was better. It is really interesting to see how the Zeiss 85 handles direct lens flares. At f/2 and up to f/8 its clearly a much more pleasant flare (more around one point vs a flat flare across the whole image).

Of course just as the Canon 85, the Zeiss 85 is best suited on a 1.3x or full frame DSLR. Although it isn’t capable of autofocus. The price tag is just around $1280.

What do you think—would you buy the Canon 85 or Zeiss 85?

Chase Jarvis + New Zealand

February 3rd, 2011

YouTube Preview ImageCould you imagine clipping yourself into a harness on the side of a helicopter as you buzz around high above the Southern Alps of New Zealand? Chase Jarvis can and has many times. The experience of being able to shoot from a heli would be absolutely amazing. I’m really looking forward to the day I get a chance to.

Check out Chase’s images from these shoots.

Chris Sisarich: The Middle of Nowhere

January 21st, 2011






Chris Sisarich was on assignment in Egypt shooting a tourism campaign where he captured these beautifully desolate landscape photos. I find them extraordinary and unbelievable at the same time. The last two images in particular are moments in time that would be really great to experience.

The Sartorialist

January 10th, 2011


YouTube Preview ImageThe Sartorialist is fashion blog run by blogger/photographer Scott Schumann out of New York. In this mini documentary we see Schumann hitting the streets to take photos of people who are fashionably interesting. The video acts as a great way to show the process behind Schumann’s work. I find the way that he approaches his subjects particularly interesting.

Henrik Adamsen Fashion Photography

December 22nd, 2010





Henrik Adamsen is a fashion and editorial photographer based out of Copenhagen, Denmark. He started off his career by learning what he needed to know, but then gained additional experience from art directors on projects and from working as a retoucher in the early 1990s. If I’m not mistaken, Henrik also dabbled in graphic design prior to advancing into photography.

Tether DSLR to iPad

November 1st, 2010


http://www.vimeo.com/16249536

If you’re a photographer and own an iPad this is for you. Tethering your DSLR camera to your iPad is particularly useful in scenarios where you have clients previewing the shots that you take. The iPad alleviates the need for cords and you can simply connect up to a clients iPad and send the images directly. Just like the iPhone, the iPad also memorizes your wifi login so it makes it easy on you and automatically connects to your network.

I’d love to see someone actually use this on a shoot. The setup is quite practical and fairly inexpensive (if you already own an iPad). The Eye-Fi Pro X2 card you have to buy is about $130, but once again, well worth it if you’re on the move.
