Perfect Darkness

Perfect Darkness

Wet walk with the 7D at my favorite lake where i spent most of my summer days as a child. Inspired by a great week and fink in my headphones. This is a personal peace of (he)artwork, hope you like it! Music: Fink - Perfect Darkness (finkworld.co.uk) Filmed with Canon EOS 7D (i wish i had brought my 5DmkIII that day with its amazing low light capability!) the 50mm/1.4, 24-70/4.0, 85/1.8 and 70-200/2.8 II. Had a very small lightweight slider with me i ordered at igus.de, and a little manfrotto tripod. Edited in Final Cut Pro 7 (yes i still don´t uses FCPx) color graded with 3 way cc, nothing else (didn´t have ...

Fight Flash Phobia

Fight Flash Phobia

Flash is some kind of monster to most aspiring photographers and beginners. For some it is more frustrating than doing a tax declaration, visiting the dentist or having a discussion with your girlfriend about how "you spend too much money on camera stuff". There is so much to know, the technical stuff, the maths - it´s easy to get lost in this chapter of photography. Nevertheless, it is one VERY important section if you really want to be a photographer. It is LIGHT. And photography is WORKING with light. So, if you are one of those people that say "I love available light, I love ambient light, I don´t really need ...

The Good Dolly

The Good Dolly

Words you can find everywhere on the internet: DSLR cameras changed the way we shoot (and similar descriptions). It also changed the needs of course. What if you want to do some smooth and easy slider/dolly shots. You can choose between small sliders, or good old big fat dollys. What was missing for a long time is a slider/dolly solution perfectly fitting the size of DSLRs. The Good Dolly is a great tool for DSLR as it is not too heavy and big, you don´t need a lot of time (and people) for transport and setup, but it´s big and heavy enough to do really smooth dolly shots. Some first test ...

Aerial Perspectives

Aerial Perspectives

I´m about to bring my cameras, above all my Canon 5DmkII up there to shoot some videostuff. I think this is the most nerdy project i´ve ever started :-) A RC mikrokopter with RC remote head, GPS, videodownlink, all buildt by myself. It also took me about a year on a RC simulator to be able to fly a helicopter. Who wants to hang a 5DmkII on some RC helicopter not knowing if it will come down... well of course it will come down again, but it should do this in one piece. However, this project is coming to an end quite soon, and i couldn´t wait any longer to show you ...

Ride on Bali

Ride on Bali
