1930s-40s, In Colour

Chungaiz — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:30:15 +0000

The US Library of Congress is collecting colour photographs on Flickr that show the 1930s – 1940s in colour. A period usually only seen in black and white, these images are filled with intriguing, haunting subjects.

Nice to see library services using crowds to source information and collect archives together that they might otherwise not have been able to.

Getty Images’ – 27Letters

Getty Images have a new toy – 27Letters. It collates the most used, referenced and talked about visuals in the media space, with top-level analysis. Pooling from 150 mainstream media sites and opinion-forming blogs and covering advertising, architecture, art, celebrity, design, entertainment, fashion, film, news, sport, photography and more. Looks rather interesting. Download it here.

Shoot London – Tate Modern

Chungaiz — Thu, 07 May 2009 16:36:14 +0000

Take a trip around London & bring a story to life with your photos, exploring the local streets, finding your own inspiration, oh, and you can win prizes.

Shoot London is the next installment of the Shoot Experience and it’ll be showcased at the Tate Modern. Illustrating a story written by Joe Dunthorne with photographs, teams of 2-4 people weave their way around London following their own creativity to represent each word or phrase.

At the end of the day all photos are collected and compiled to create a unique photographic storyboard that will be presented on a big screen in the Turbine Hall. Prizes are of course awarded for the best and quirkiest photographs.

Your next plane journey

Chungaiz — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:25:21 +0000

I prefer to sit in the aisle (I’m 6’3″) or watch movies through a flight, but we all like to gaze out the window of an aeroplane and wonder at the outside sky, lights, possiblities, achievements and failures… the video above is a lovely time-pase photography piece by James Leng of a trip coming in to San Francisco from the Midwest using a Nikon D300. It’s the lights glowing through the clouds that make this a particularly eerie and magical piece of footage.

Technique: 1600iso; beginning – 1 (30sec) exposure / 45secs, end – 1 (4sec) exposure / 10 secs; total elapsed time: around 3 hours?

i’m a big fan of toy cameras, and this new one performs well outside its price bracket and has bags of character… got it in the post today for £4.99, that’s a ridiculous eBay bargain!!!:

You may remember the Lomo Diana which was posted about a couple of times:
