Accidental Photoshop

23 02 2011

Photoshop fixes everything. As long as you don’t get caught.

AS, a Spanish sports daily, was forced to apologize yesterday after they experienced a “computer graphics error” which resulted in one of the players being removed from an image of a controversial offside decision.

AS was forced to issue a “before and after” of the image to help lay the issue to rest.

Doesn’t use digital media?! WTF!?

This is an actual review from Amazon.com that someone wrote about the Nikon F6.

Yup that’s right. The Nikon F6 does not work with compact flash, or sd cards and yes, you are required to buy cartridges of tape or if you’re a photo pro it’s called “film.” Another surprise, rolls of film do have limited exposures ranging from 24 exposures to 36. Shocker.

Perhaps the customer should have punched Nikon F6 into Google before they hit the “add to cart” button.

From drawing to photo

21 02 2011


Photographer, Jay P. Morgan, was recently commissioned to create a photograph from a drawn composition for the FMF (Federation of Mexican Futbol ((that’s soccer for Americans)) ).

In the video Morgan explains each step of the process, with the lighting process being the most intricate and interesting. It’s hard to believe that it took that many lights to create that one image but it wouldn’t be the same image without those lights being used the way they were.

Boom headshot

Nice Shot! from Blownapart Studios on Vimeo.

This video was shot from a workshop called “Guts and Glory,” that was being held by Lookpw and Mark Behrens at Elk’s Tower in Sacramento. The entire video is the product of a single take steadicam involving 22 photographers and 20 models armed to the teeth. The only editing was what Blownapart calls “speed ramping” and that was to help hide some of the movements made by the individuals.

The neat part was that this entire video was unplanned.
