Paul Nielsen recently took a trip to the Yucatan Penninsula. One of his passions is HDR photography (see here) and these images are the latest iterations. You can view them bigger here.
HDR Crash Course
By now, if you haven’t yet heard of HDR, or High Dynamic Resolution, you probably have at least run across images that seem like they couldn’t have been taken with a normal camera. It’s a process that has opened up huge artistic possibilities in the realm of digital photography and really has me excited.
Oppidan Series : Brandon Hill
Brandon Hill (along with Arthur Cherry and JR Caines) have been constant friends of the crew at Faceout Studio. We’ve watched each other tackle new projects, improve our individual hobbies, and embrace new ways to waste time. Having this kind of interaction with other talented designers is a constant source of inspiration and encouragement.
Brandon has been working on his photography (after hours??) for the last couple of years, and has now officially broken the “WOW” barrier. His recent Oppidan Series was a new high (in my opinion) so I had to ask him about it:
We have “several” (i.e. two) iphones in the studio, and have joined the elite status of “Supreme Apple Blingers”. Apart from the many functional uses of your iPhone, we’ve discovered several less functional (but wildly entertaining) things you can do…one of which is creating Hipstaprints.
Apparently, this app tweaks the iPhone’s camera settings, creating a faux cross-processed/lomography effect. And it’s not bad. You can see all the pictures on our Flickr Stream.
Some fascinating photography of 1870s Beijing by Scottish photographer John Thomson. I haven’t been to Beijing lately, but I assume these to be a remarkably detailed view of its past. View the entire article here.
Thanks to @iancul for the heads up.
John Keatley is a great photographer I became aware of while procuring a fancy graphic design degree at Seattle Pacific University. John used to do photography for various university events, but he also does some high-profile celebrity and editorial shoots.
He’s also got a great blog that gives insights into the daily happenings of a Seattle photographer. It’s worth peeking at.
Oliver Nieder takes some truly transcendant photography…everything from architecture to pretty little flowers, and it all has a very surreal quality.
See lots more photo-sweetness here.
Jason Gabbert is now selling some of his photography online. Personally, I think these would like great riiiiiiiiiiight above my trophy case. If I had a trophy case, that is…
