A few days ago sitting in a coffee shop I noticed that our barista was proudly wearing a black t-shirt sporting a slogan in a super noticeable bold face “I SHOOT RAW“. We talked, and I learned that the boy had been working on his fine art portfolio and wanted […]
6 мая 1937 года немецкий аэростат Гинденбург готовился к швартовке на военно-морской базе в Нью Джерси, как вдруг загорелся и взорвался, унеся с собой жизни 36 человек. Практически всё на борту дирижабля сгорело, за исключением нескольких артефактов, один из которых вы видите на этой фотографии. Эта камера принадлежала Фрицу Деегу, […]
On May 6, 1937 a German flagship Zeppelin Hindenburg was about to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey when it suddenly ignited and exploded taking 36 lives in a process. Pretty much everything that was onboard of the airship was incinerated with the exception of a few artifacts including this one […]
Микроконтраст или, как его еще называют пластичность объектива, является важным свойством оптической системы. Микроконтраст описывает способность объектива создать иллюзию объёма на плоском носителе. При этом, он всегда был одним из самых запутанных терминов в фотографии, поскольку большинство фотографов не понимают его физический смысл и, как следствие, разницу между общим контрастом […]
Micro-contrast, or as it also called lens plasticity is property of an optical system describing the lens’ ability to create an illusion of depth on the flat medium. It has been one of the most confusing terms in photography, as most photographers have a very hard time explaining its physical […]
If a word “Photoville”, does not sound familiar, you are not alone: I did not know what it was until a few weeks ago when I was invited by Leica to speak at its tent this Sunday at 4pm. Well, it turns out, this is a super cool and apparently […]
Shooting dance is never easy. What can make it even harder is all these new fancy green technologies like the Energy Star Compliant lighting. Mercury fluorescent lights are known to be pretty nasty when it comes to skin tones, but it is nothing compared to when they are mixed with […]
Роль оптики Как мы обсуждали в первой части статьи, у нас есть несколько методов, которые используются для создания фотографий, похожими на кино. Некоторые из них предназначены для создания иллюзии трёхмерности изображения, другие помогают взгляду двигаться без усилий по широкоэкранному кинокадру. На этот раз мы поговорим о оптике, способной формировать “киношную” […]
The Role Of Optics As we discussed in the first part of the article, we have a few techniques at out disposal that make still pictures look like movie stills. Some of them deal with image depth, others help the eye with wide aspect ratios of the motion picture. This […]
You’ve probably seen photos that make you want to scream: “Wow, how cinematic!” Perhaps you even did it a few times yourself. But why? What does it mean, “cinematic?” What makes a picture similar to a movie and different from “ordinary” photography? And in general, why and why, in fact, […]
