video

  • Uncommon skateboarding tricks in super slow motion. Filmed at 1,000 frames per second with a Redlake N3 high speed camera.

  • Another familiar photo to remember another historical event that took place this month a few years back, but I never knew it was so wide. That’s a LOT of tanks! Check out the video footage too! It looked like he was just passing through on his way back from a grocery store or something.

  • Lorena Gaillot went to NYC from France and didn’t know what a hipster was. So she set out on a hipster quest.

  • Holi

    Holi beauty, Batman! Taken at the Hindi festival of Holi, the film was shot on a Phantom Flex- a camera that can capture up to 2570 frames a second creating super slow motion. This slow motion gives it an almost-photographic feel and really helps me pay attention to the composition and the fantastic lighting.

  • I’ve been reading a book called Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks, a professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University and saw that Gizmodo had just posted a video about the same stuff that I’ve been reading about. Here’s the video:

  • San Francisco’s Pier 39, with the Bay Bridge in the background. August, 2011. I was reminded of this song (CD here): I wouldn’t say I’m a super emotional personal person. I’m not good with using words to describe how I feel or what I’m thinking–pictures and music often do a better job.

My uncle (who works in Chinatown) watched them film a guy in a black suit flying back and forth into the tunnel. Photo…

  • Best alternate ending EVER!

  • I miss mountain biking, but not like this.

  • My music of choice has always been hip hop and r&b. That’s the stuff I grew up with but I can’t really stand any of the junk on the radio these days. I really do appreciate artists whose work focuses on topics that matter. Check out Bono and K’naan’s interview on CNN: And I never…

  • Canon announced today that the film, “Captain America: The First Avenger”, used Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR cameras to capture many of the movie’s action shots. Throughout the super hero action picture, the 5D Mark II was used to shoot motion sequences that were seamlessly integrated with the production’s 35mm film footage. More…

  • I think I’ve been watching more videos about photography lately than actually taking pictures. They’re a bit long, but if you have the time, they’re worth a look-see. Six photographers test their right to shoot in London Photographers were assigned different areas of the City to photograph. Some used tripods, some went hand held, one…

  • Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 – August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. He was an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the “street photography” or “real life reportage” style that has influenced generations of photographers who followed.…

  • Who Is KT?

    An intro video from one of Jin‘s friends. It’s pretty entertaining. Heads up though, it’s in Cantonese. Find out more at whoiskt.com. Presented by catchadventures.com (some of you might recognize the guys there). Via Gar‘s google reader feed. Posted here by JT, that’s me. :)
