Big production lighting

 


Video production presents a growing business opportunity for still photographers, as video and still camera technology converges and clients begin to combine the two types of production to create cross-platform campaigns and cut costs. Weather you shoot video or still images you need to know how to light the set properly, fortunately for photographers, lighting techniques for still and video are similar. It really depends on what you want to get across to your viewer and how much you can spend. Read more about this and learn some lighting techniques here at 

Have you seen Red

Cult camcorder manufacturer Red finally took the wraps off a new product it had been teasing on its website and in online forums for weeks a multi-purpose hybrid camcorder/digital SLR that lets the user create their own custom imaging device based around Red’s sensors.This might be kinda cool considering what the camera can do, I don’t have the money to buy that camera but I still think the company is amazing because it is a fully customizable camera all the way down to your sensor size.read more on this article at Pdn.com.

 

 

Philip Toledano

I found this guy awhile back while I was reading a article about photoshop I really liked how complicated yet simple his work seemed. I decided to do some research on him and I found his website that showcase his portfolio and side projects some of his stuff is strange and some of it is really interesting. He is a really remarble photographer who puts a lot of thought in to what he wants to get across to the viewer. Find more about him and his works here and here.

 

 

Canon 7D Camera Review

When this camera first came out I was abit skeptical about it, I didnt think it was a whole lot differnt than the 50d and was wondering why canon didnt go with the full frame censor for the 7d. However there are some verynice fetures to this camera such as it shotts 8 frames a second and is a 18 mega pixel camera. It is my personal opion that this camera combied with canon l series lens would be a grate combination for any photographer. find this video and other here

Looking At Lenses

I’m not sure when I will be able to get any new equipment or how much I will be able to get but I do know I would like to get a new lens at least one that goes down to 2.8 or 1.4 F-stop. That way Ill be able to have a grater depth of field and also be able to shoot in low light situations. I shoot Canon and they have a wide variety of lens that open to 2.8 the one I am most considering is the 24-70 2.8 I think it will be a good mid range lens for journalism or portraits.
