Visual Acoustics Trailer

Looking forward to this documentary on legendary architecture photographer Julius Shulman. More info about the film here.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

Canon EOS Survives 3000 ft fall.

Snippet from the forum:

I sold my first DSLR (Rebel XT) to my buddy from Florida who happens to be a skydive instructor. He used it mounted on his helmet to shoot skydivers in a free fall. The mounting plate detached when he opened his chute and both cameras (photo + video) took a fall from approximately 3000 ft. Amazingly, the Rebel survived the fall and my friend is still using it to this very day. It has a crack in the plastic body and the kit lens is a little jerky when zooming, but functional.

More info about the fall here.

My Canon 7D Photo of the Day

First photo edited from my 7D. Photo was taken Christmas day.

Yesterday I downloaded Adobe Lightroom, since Photoshop CS3 doesn't play nice with my Canon 7D. So I started experimenting with all the settings/features and I realized that I don't really know what I'm doing. So pair that with not having the time to learn a whole new program and I am officially in a tight spot, heh. But thankfully, that's where my buddy Kenton will come in. I'm hoping in the near future I can get decent with taking photos and doing some editing so that when my baby girl comes I'll know exactly what I'm doing. I want to make her look great!

Barry Underwood: Super Natural Photography

Check out these "scenes" done by Barry Underwood. I love his landscapes where some type of phenomenon is implied. His use of light and time exposure are quite spectacular. Barry holds a degree in theater and a MFA in photography, which seems pretty evident.
