Stock and how to sell it yourself..

August 17, 2010

Photo by BlueLotus Today’s post is all about stock. First off a disclaimer: I’m not an expert on stock by a long shot. My focus is on commissioned work and although I have a few images in stock I’m no expert. For a while I had a bunch of images with a really big company [...]

The Full Monty

August 10, 2010

This month we are going to hear from long time Hasselblad (and prior to that Imacon) shooter Monty Rakusen on his experiences with the H3D50 (Monty has since sent it off for upgrade to H4D50). The images dotted through this post are from a recent trip Monty made through Andalucia in Spain. Oh and I [...]

Hasselblad Multishot User Story

August 6, 2010

In the true tradition of blogging I’m going to err borrow a post from Hot Wire Digital, (hi John!). First off a quick plug for Hot Wire and specially John Williams who I had the pleasure of meeting in Orlando last year.

July 27, 2010

I’m trying to turn this blog (I think), into a bit of a resource for H4D40 information. I’m keeping an eye on Google and each time I find and interesting H4D40 review I’ll post it here. All my posts should be tagged and if you look at left you’ll see the “tag cloud” (I think [...]

The eyes have it (H4D40 high ISO)

July 19, 2010

Another comedy headline, sorry about that. If you’ve read previous posts you’ll see how impressed I’ve been with the H4D40 especially with it’s high ISO performance, traditionally an area where the Nikons and have Canons ruled. Well the guys at Sunshine in South Africa have posted a comparison on their blog and the results are [...]

Thumbnail image for HCD 28mm Lens

Wide angle lenses are tough to design; they are expensive and it’s very hard to get good performance out of them. I’ve always been pretty disappointed with wide-angle performance on “35mm” DSLRs to the point where I just won’t use them. Enter the Hasselblad 28mm. I am a huge fan of the HCD 28mm lens. [...]

Catalog Living

I have to thank my sister Jody for sending me this one, she’s a writer not a photographer but she totally gets it. This is a very gentle poke at the way homeware catalogues are styled, I love it. All the comforts of home… We’re so happy you could visit!  The room’s all made up [...]

Tasteful Pictures: The Art Of Food Photography : NPR

And for as long as there have been still lifes, there have been portraits of food. Last week I spoke on the phone with Larry Nighswander, photography director at Saveur, [...]

PhotoshopDisasters

June 29, 2010

I love photoshop disasters… It’s a constant reminder about what good Photoshop work is (or isn’t) about, oh yes and the captions are hilarious, here’s a typical one: In a bracingly antideconstructionist denouement Steven Meisel reinterprets the dichotomatic nature of classic Hegelian dialectics in the semiotically heterodoxical form of a “mirror reality” in which Natalia [...]
