Yeah it works like poo poo, I've shown it to two chicks and one of them I'd slept with three years ago and we're just good friends now and the other chick was my best friend's sister. It's loving cool, though, go fork out that money and get the biggest print possible. Totally worth it. I signed the tube it's in and now it's like I own a me original.

Instead of midi notes like the previous thing used, this one treats each row of pixels as an oscillator, building up sound through additive synthesis. I tossed in this picture I took of the inside of a lava tube:  And after tweaking the frequency ranges a bit, it returned this as audio:

A5H posted:What's so great about it then? First, you have to really like the 35mm fov. A lot. It's not an interchangeable lens. If you do, then: It's the smallest camera with a superb aps-c sensor AND a good optical viewfinder that is built in. Add on top really nice build quality, all manual controls, and a good design. I wish I took more photos, but right now my camera, while I love the quality, is far too large and bulky to carry often. I'm not willing to sacrifice quality to go with a digital point/shoot, nor sacrifice a viewfinder to go with a nex (not that it has an autofocusing fast 35mm lens anyway), and too impatient to go with film. It either really excites you, or it doesn't. The same way video on the newer DSLRs does literally nothing for me, this camera probably isn't interesting to a lot of people.

pwn posted:It's killing me how nicely these match up with the mood of the source photo. Oh god. Sure, I'll try that one with the midi thing once I'm back on a mac. The MIDI one was mac only, but I used the PC one for my second attempt. Here's the link for the PC program: http://www.nicolasfournel.com/audiopaint.htm That Rockwell image might actually sound pretty cool in Audiopaint, since it maps frequency vertically and time horizontally. The bright signs in the middle of the image should register as loud mid-frequency bursts blaring out from the full-spectrum static created by all that blue. With the MIDI program (Sound of an Image), it'll probably sound like an absolute mess. I'll try it with synth claps and synth trumpets.

It's a shame you aren't big on film (I figured you weren't because you do so much of your post in PS, and want a RAW file to work with), a Konica Hexar AF is basically the X100 of 35mm.

I don't shoot often enough to go through entire rolls quickly, and I have zero patience for development time, and color processing is ridiculously expensive here in Iceland. The hexar AF is indeed awesome, but yeah, I'm completely married to the digital workflow.

That and the x100 looks like dynamic range and noise wise it will readily spank any color 35mm film out there, and come awfully close to B&W film too.

For anybody who's interested, POYi judging is underway. There's already an internet shitstorm brewing over the feature picture story third place winner, "A Grunt's Life," being modified with iphone's hipstamatic. Should be interesting to see how that discussion unfolds, and of course how the rest of the judging pans out. http://www.poyi.org/ (POYi is Pictures of the Year International, a photo contest sponsored by Mizzou, a top PJ school, focusing on photojournalism. Same vein as CPOY, but open to all working professionals.)

That X100 looks pretty slick, but for $1100, no way, especially since I already have a 35mm on my FX body. I know, not the same thing, but I'll hold on to the $1100 and take the camera places.

Not knowing if what you just shot is going to turn out can be agonising and there are about a billion reasons why it's a pain in the rear end or even stressful. But I just enjoy it, so there isn't really any point of you don't/wont. I'd say shooting film is more OCD than digital, at least I sure feel that way when I'm cleaning a freshly developed roll... I'm dying to see how the X100 really performs.

An APS-C sensor isn't going to turn out images that exceed 35mm C-41 in terms of latitude, or E-6 in terms of detail.

After seeing how much people have spent on gear in one of the other threads, I think this is kind of a silly argument. I already said that this has to tickle your fancy very specifically for it to make sense. I haven't bought any gear in 2 years now, I'm very well paid, and I currently have no second body or anything that weighs less than 1 kilo to take a photo with. I've tried the good current small cameras and none of them really impress me image quality wise. If you like optical viewfinders, 35mm fov, and digital workflow, there isn't an equivalent camera at this weight and size. An M9 with a decent 35mm lens is pushing 10k with a sensor that's barely on par with an original 5D and a tiny low res screen and no AF. Just not my cup of tea. Is there even a single M9 owner in the dorkroom? poopinmymouth fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Feb 11, 2011 |

I'm doing a photography course at the moment to try and become more well rounded, this week we're doing still life and I am finding it to be boring as poo poo. I'm forcing myself to shoot a couple of things a day and I'm going to attempt to recreate a couple of "classics" to try and get my head around it, but in general I just find it dull and lifeless (hurr). I don't see a lot of still life in the Dork Room, is anyone into it?

Brad has done some kickass stuff. The key to getting a lot out of "boring" homework assignments is to find the part you like about them. If the arranging and styling of it is boring, try focusing on lighting, or post work. Try to see if there is items you would have fun with.

You guys should check out the Albino adoption story that got second place. Really harrowing. The Grunt's life series is literally just cell phone shots that happened to be in a war zone. While I can definitely see iPhones and cameraphones being legitimate tools in some photojournalism stories - it's hard to take this particular series *that* seriously just because it was taken by a soldier in the unit he was photographing which really makes it hard to consider it journalism as it was a dude taking pictures of his buddies on his iphone. It's a neat series in that context.
