That'd better not be a season ending spoiler! :argh:

That kite video was great. The showed one of the early kite photographs, "San Francisco in Ruins," in that video, and now I am convinced I need this hanging on my wall.



The Library of Congress will let me download the 158 MB tiff of it, though I might be more tempted to just order a print from them rather than trying to print it myself.

On a different note, I just saw this infuriating "Photographers Rights" video posted on a local blog.

Download the tiff and help out a goon by using that large format printing service someone's running on SA mart, it's quite cheap.http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3208476

well wait those million years and maybe sensor prices will go down. :)

Shame it'll be somewhere close to that since sensor size doesn't increase nearly at the same pace as other technology.

It looks like Apple just released Aperture 3. http://www.apple.com/aperture/

Nothing mind blowing in it but it does look like a solid upgrade. We all knew that faces and places from iPhoto was a given and that's included. It looks like the most useful additions are the brushes, curves, and presets which I assume were swiped from LR.

I feel like I'm the only goon using Aperture so I'm probably the only one who cares. I plan on sticking with it as I see no compelling reason to go to LR3.

The most interesting part of this is seeing that it took Apple this long to get brushes/full screen browsing into Aperture. After using LR2 I'm not sure how I'd get along without either of them.

I thought the second row was a bit off toward the middle, but I couldn't quite decide which was which. Documentation on my work monitors says "92% color gamut." I think I have an idea of where in the spectrum that remaining 8% is.



Here's something that this reminded me of, from Feb 2010 Scientific American

I see the "impossible" greenish red when the two converge, how about you guys?

I see brown.

The more I think about it the more that red/green thing annoys me. You can't see a red/green combination that isn't brown; it's a color that can't physically exist with light as we know it.

Canon dug themselves into a hole with EF-S, they can't abandon smaller format cameras now.


I think chip size (and ISO by extension) is going to matter a lot more in future cameras now that megapixels have reached the point more-isn't-necessarily-better.



I'm currently having a camera crisis because I need to upgrade in the near future and can't decide if I should go medium format or stay with Canon. H25's are ~$3000 used vs $2500 for the 5Dmk2, but I also have nothing invested in EF lenses and would need to sink another $1000 at least in that if I stay with Canon.

So going Phase One would be cheaper, but it has to be tethered and no video which I need to learn. I think I am leaning toward H25 + keep 5Dmk1 as backup. I have no idea I can't make up my mind.


I wonder if medium format cameras will ever be consumer affordable, but it doesn't sound like it because of the way the chips are made.

How are you shooting with the M1 if you have nothing invested in EF? Just keep a nifty fifty around and rent the rest?

This is hella awesome. http://gizmodo.com/5531880/history-as-youve-never-seen-it-beforein-true-color

quote:

In 1909, wealthy French banker Albert Kahn set out to create "a photographic inventory of human life on Earth." His teams took 72,000 autochrome photographs in over 50 countries, comprising the largest collection of early color photography in existence.

Ovation, one of those TV stations in the 200s you might not realize you subscribe to, is currently airing the 9-part BBC series "The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn," which explores the man and details his colossal project. Kahn became interested in photography on a trip to Japan and sent teams equipped with autochrome cameras—the first capable of simply taking true color photographs—to all corners of the world.


In addition to the 72,000 still photos they collected, Kahn's teams amassed over 100 hours of film over the course of the project's 22 year duration. Kahn was eventually bankrupted during the Great Depression, but his collection stands as a singular account of life in the early 20th Century.

I have a Foto folder with subfolders done by month. Within each is a RAW and a FINISHED folder. Stuff straight from camera -even jpegs- goes in the RAW folder, and anything that I've taken to a processed stage is saved in finished. Lightroom is in its own folder in the default area, though I might change that. I have an external hard drive that I haven't backed my stuff onto in a while, but I do use backblaze, which is $50 a year for unlimited storage, and has so far been awesome.

I was planning to post this earlier, but unfortunately I was on probation. I got into NYU's photo and imaging program. Going to be a fun four years, I hope.
