You think that's cool? I've been watching this video for months, it's toronto photographer filming himself riding a bike, no handed, with a 12-24 on his 5d2. It's so loving wide, and it's soooo loving cool: http://vimeo.com/4964539

It's so loving wide, and it's soooo loving cool: That's actually insanely unsafe if he's looking through the viewfinder, which on second thought he probably isn't. One time I tried walking around while looking through the viewfinder with my Tokina 11-16 at 11mm and I nearly fell in a ditch because it's hard to see which direction you're actually walking in, strange as that sounds.

He also takes his glove off because he can't use all the buttons/dials on the camera, when he's done he puts the glove back on. Haha. The guy mentions later in the thread that he used to professionally race and has trained himself to ride one handed in turns and stuff and now uses the camera as a way to keep himself from riding "too crazy" on the street. Penpal that biking video is awesome! I don't think I could ever be relaxed enough to do something like that, cars are just too unpredictable.

INTERGALACTIC MEAT posted:He's still got to hold the camera somehow, might as well be firing and holding with the same hand, leave the steering for the other. Avenger clamp + tripod head (or add in a Magic Arm) would work fine, I've seen some cool videos done with that combo. I'm personally kind of leery about putting anything with moving parts in a tank bag, as there can be a significant amount of vibration coming from the bike. (Saddlebags I feel better about, especially soft ones with clothes and other crap in them to insulate it.) As far as the glove I don't see why he doesn't just buy a cheap pair, and cut out the pad of the thumb and index finger on the hand he uses to shoot with. I did that for a winter and it worked fine. If I had a 5D2 of my own, I'd make you guys a 12mm video of me riding

GOD drat IT, I hate the Model Mayhem forums sometimes. I was posting in a critique and someone cut apart a montage for a model. I suggested that perhaps the original photographer is the only one who should be editing the photos they own, and a model claimed that it was "well versed" that models have the right to edit shots they're in. It pisses me off because I've had to deal with that in the past and it's such a prevalent misconception I can't believe how many people have got it so dead wrong.

But if we don't send a million photojournalists over there how will I get that sweet, sweet disaster porn? I need images of poor, brown people looking noble every time anything bad happens in the world to make me feel better.

That's pretty disgusting. I mean, I'm all for photojournalism, but that picture of all the photogs huddled around the injured person just makes me angry

And another. Bucharest gay pride in 2008. All those photographers were probably hoping for another wild riot, but this time the march was peaceful.

Documentary about Nachtwey, War Photographer, is good and talks a lot about photojournalism... although I certainly do not think most crisis photography is done by people like Nachtwey. But some do good things.

It's no different than all the shooters standing in one spot at a football game-- people just aren't really creative enough to find their own images.

TsarAleksi posted:It's no different than all the shooters standing in one spot at a football game-- people just aren't really creative enough to find their own images. I think the point is that photography is becoming so mainstream, and the demand for imagery is so strong, (or perhaps it's being forced upon us), that ethics tend to go to the wayside when it comes to acquiring those images. It's not equally comparable to sports photography because the question of ethics never comes into play.

At some point it gets ridiculous because the extra bodies would be far more useful doing aid, rather than capturing yet another photo from the same angle. Everyone thinks they have the eye that will capture the photo that will do far more good for whatever the conflict is than their direct actions could help, but I am positive it is past that point in Haiti, some of those photos are disgusting, knowing they could be out digging people out of the rubble or assisting doctors, rather than shooting 12 fps next to 10 other rich white western photographers with gear worth 10x what the average haitian makes in a year.

Has anyone ever been to a camera show/swap meet? There's one near me next weekend, I'm thinking about going. Kinda iffy about leaving a ton of poo poo in the car... do people without a table carry it all around with them or what? poopinmymouth posted:At some point it gets ridiculous because the extra bodies would be far more useful doing aid, rather than capturing yet another photo from the same angle.

I would think there are plenty of able-bodied Haitians milling around with no jobs, I don't think they're really hard up for unskilled labor.

Guess who I met and listened to for several hours at his house? Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer He was very talkative, managing to answer most of our questions by introducing himself and his work. He elaborated on how he started off, how he makes his living etc etc... He also absolutely loves electronic music. The first thing you notice when you enter his atelier aren't the cameras because they aren't there, you notice this absolutely huge analogue synthesizer.
