$63,000 CAMERA :: What do the images look like? Nov 01, 2017

Show notes

The Phase One XF is the most high-end camera system you can buy. I recently had a chance to use this setup with the IQ3 monochrome back. I was told this back is the first one in the US so I was pretty excited. This camera setup is a game changer. The Phase One IQ3 Monochrome back is one of the most exciting things to happen in camera design in the age of digital photography. The sensor weighs in at a cool 101 Megapixels and its designed to capture light past the visual spectrum. When you understand how to shape this using filters you have one of the most advanced, digital monochrome cameras ever made. The results are stunning. Special Thanks to Digital Transitions for loaning me the camera and to Rod Clark who makes the best filter system on the market for setting it all up!

The Art of SELF PORTRAITS in Photography Oct 30, 2017

Show notes

Photo Assignment #13 deals with self-portraits in photography. Looking back on the history of photography this phenomenon isn't just limited to people with iPhones. Successful portraits of any kind use elements of aesthetic and conceptual thinking to create works. Vivian Maier is probably the most known photographer embracing the medium but there were others as well: Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Andreas Feininger, Richard Avedon and many others.

SONY A7r III :: The A9 Mini Me? Oct 25, 2017

Show notes

Today Sony has announced the new Sony A7r III mirrorless camera - the latest in its A7 lineup. The A7rIII looks extremely promising. They seemed to have cleaned up a lot of the little frustrations with the A7rII, increased the performance and added some nice new features for both still and video shooting in 4k. The camera will be available at the end of November. Sony also introduced 2 lenses - the 24-105 f/4.0 OSS FE and a telephoto prime - a 400mm f/2.8 to be released in the summer of 2018. Also announced as I was about to film this video - DxO has purchased Nik Software from Google. This is incredible news as Nik is one of the best post production packages I've used. Google have announced they're abandoning development on Nik so its nice to see someone committed to keeping it up to date.

WHY I LOVE the Photography Community Oct 13, 2017

Show notes

Puerto Rico is currently in a disastrous state following the damage from this summer’s hurricane season. FEMA is currently responding but supplies are needed. Chelsea and Tony Northrup are working with Michael the Maven on a charity project to deliver simple water filtration systems to people in need. This is an incredible way to give back and one of the reasons I love the photography community so much. These filters are all FEMA approved, in fact, Chelsea and Michael navigated all the red government tape to make this happen. I am giving to the cause as well – I’ve donated a limited edition of 10 prints that you can get as well as 3 portfolio reviews for people who are interested. This is the time to put down the camera and come together as a community and I’m really proud of my colleagues who are behind this cause.

Photo Assignment #12 is about working with composite images. Essentially this is a final image that is made up of multiple images. This is fairly wide open but could use double exposure, a collage of images, images within your photo, digital manipulation and compositing… there are mane options on this one. I want to encourage people to try some different things on this one so I am extending the deadline one more week. Photo Assignments are projects we work on every Monday. These photography based assignments are designed to expand our creative thinking and improve our skills as photographers.
