A few months ago Scott came by and interviewed me for a couple pages in this book. Pick up a copy and get your “creative” on!
Preorder here: Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming the Obstacles Between Vision and Reality

Nice! Viðtal við Noah Kalina (sem er einn af uppáhalds ljósmyndurunum mínum) í Making Ideas Happen. Hlakka til að fá hana - pre-order-aði hana í vikunni. Kemur út 15. apríl - vonandi tekur það ekki 2 mánuði fyrir Amazon að senda hana hingað.

Nice. Nætur hlutinn var sérstaklega töff. Örlítið flottara en Reykjavik Nightlife in Miniature ;)

This is what a camera looks like if you cut it in half! How on Earth did they accomplish this so cleanly? Also: look at all those lens elements!

Magnað! Mjög áhugavert að skoða inn í svona myndavél og linsu…

Jahá… það er ekki ókeypis að pósta sniðugum myndum á netið löglega. Hvað ætli Getty taki stóran skammt af þessu? Kannski að maður ætti að skella nokkrum myndum í Getty gagnagrunninn og reyna fjármagna þessa “fíkn” ;) Reyndar vesen að maður þarf að fá model releases og property releases ef maður er með fólk eða byggingar í myndinni.

Töff… skemmtilegt að leika sér með svona effect-a. Kannski að maður prófi svona tilt-shift við tækifæri.

Bróðir minn reddaði græjunum (myndavél, linsur…) og aðgangi að tökustaðnum (Orange) + sá alfarið um myndatöku.

If you have the nerve to toss your camera in the air, the results are quite pleasing. At least, quite pleasing until that one time you miss.

Yeah… mjög kúl, en ég held ég sé ekki að fara gera þetta. Nema ég fóðri myndavélina einhvern veginn eða komi í veg fyrir að hún/linsan rústist ef ég næ ekki að grípa hana.

Holy moly… þetta er stór linsa. Væri áhugavert að leika sér með þetta. Ætli maður gæti ekki verið að tjilla í Vesturbænum og tekið myndir af fólki að labba upp Esjuna? ;)

One cannot both experience and document something at the same time. This crisis, of having to choose either experience or the document of it, has been one that surfaces throughout my life in art. As a photographer, do I ‘experience’ less because I ‘document’ more? Is the experience more valuable than documentation? And how do we understand the experience of making documents?

Áhugavert quote… ég hef alveg tekið eftir þessu sjálfur, í partýum, á tónleikum… núna síðast um árámótin. Maður var á fullu að reyna ná góðum myndum af flugeldunum og maður náði ekki almennilega að njóta þeirra. Maður þarf einhvern veginn að finna jafnvægi, blanda þessu rétt saman.

Tumblr camera stats

staff:

We decided to organize some camera statistics from photos uploaded to Tumblr, and it revealed some interesting data:

One of the most surprising results is the dominance of photos taken with Apple’s Photo Booth application, which snaps photos from the built-in webcams in most Macs.

Entry-level SLRs are extremely popular among Tumblr photographers, especially Canon’s Digital Rebel series. The Digital Rebel XTi/400D is our most popular standalone camera. It’s a well-deserved position: the XTi is a great camera for a great price that introduced many people — myself included — to the world of high-quality photography.

Most Canon SLRs also record the Canon lens model used to take each photo:

The first and second are the new and old (respectively) “kit” lenses bundled with most Canon SLRs. The third-place lens, the 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, is frequently sold as part of a premium bundle for a few hundred dollars more than the standard kit.

The inexpensive 50mm primes are cumulatively the most popular non-kit lenses. This is also well-deserved: these lenses provide excellent optical quality for very little money.

Many people take photos with their mobile phones. Here’s how the top modern smartphone types break down:

Beyond the expected dominance of iPhone OS and BlackBerry devices, Palm’s webOS (Pre, Pixi) isn’t very popular among Tumblr users, but Android devices are gaining popularity.

But the real surprise was Apple’s role, including Photo Booth, in overall camera brands:

The popularity of Macs and iPhones is powerful enough to make Apple almost as popular as Nikon for Tumblr photography.
