Here is a screen cast of a Photoshop and Aperture editing session I did for the Trudell family.

Shot hand held with Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 in all natural light. I was actually really impressed!

James Charles stood in for me as my test subject.  Maybe I should have cleaned up his face and his runny nose, or even taken the candy out of his mouth, but hey… Its a raw test ;)

I spent the week shooting alongside Daniel Kedinger who also produced a separate video as well.  This video was shot all on the Nikon D3 for stills with short motion clips shot on the Nikon d90.  Audio was captured with the Zoom H4N.  It was a fun week.  Check out the video.

Enjoy!

Evernote
Dropbox
Facebook
HootSuite

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of its newest FX-format digital SLR flagship for fast response and high light sensitivity: the Nikon D3S.

Standing on the shoulders of the world-renowned D3, the D3S takes the potential of Nikon’s proprietary FX format to incredible new levels designed to meet or exceed a professional’s high standards. The D3S delivers ISO 200 to ISO 12800 as standard, with the excellent noise control and wide dynamic range that the D3 is famous for. This provides photographers of any discipline with additional latitude to achieve quality images in most lighting situations. When needed, ISO sensitivity can be expanded from Lo 1 (ISO 100 equivalent) up to Hi 3 (ISO 102400 equivalent), making a significant difference in extremely low-lit shooting scenarios and other situations where faster shutter speeds or more depth of field is required.

In a first for an FX-format flagship, the D3S incorporates the HD-quality D-Movie function, letting users take full advantage of the wide dynamic range and high ISO performance, including the breakthrough High-Sensitivity Movie mode. The D3S’s D-Movie also offers compatibility with an external stereo recording microphone, as well as convenient in-camera editing functions such as the ability to select the starting or ending points in order to trim D-Movie footage, as well as the option to save selected movie frames as JPEGs. The D3S shoots approximately 9-frames-per-second high-speed continuous shooting in FX format and 11 fps in DX format, with a buffer twice the size of the D3′s. These features, along with a 0.04-second* shutter release time lag and improved AF accuracy work seamlessly for lightning-fast responses. Various improvements in ergonomics, operation, and reliability, such as image sensor cleaning, will help photographers focus on shooting under any conditions. When combined with state-of-the-art NIKKOR lenses and the Nikon Total Imaging System, which includes Nikon Speedlights, wireless transmitters and various software, the D3S delivers exceptional quality and versatility for an unprecedented variety of professional and personal assignments.

* Based on CIPA Guidelines.

You probably aren’t reading this blog anyway!

Not exactly what I had hoped. I’ve gone through several rolls of film in my Leica M6 to test out different ISO qualities, BnW vs. Color, etc. I was fortunate enough to borrow some film from a buddy just to burn, but there were no guarantees on quality/age of the film. I processed the first couple of rolls and realized that the film wasn’t so great. Every image was hazy with virtually no contrasts in one roll… the other was a bit better, but still not great. At least I know the camera works ;) I did want to post one of my favorites from the “bad” roll. I was able to pull a bit back in with photoshop, but all in all… back to testing and this time with new film!
