At $15 USD a sheet it was pretty expensive to shoot Polaroids. Too expensive but not as expensive as an 8×10 digital back. Fed up with the high yearly cost of Polaroids Mitchell Feinberg’s commissioned and 8×10 Digital Capture Back for his studio setup and hasn’t looked back since.

If I only had one word to describe this I would use the word AWESOME.
The Ice Book (HD) from Davy and Kristin McGuire on Vimeo.
The Ice Book is a miniature theatre show, a pop-up book that comes to life as if by magic.
It tells the story of a mysterious princess who lures a boy into her magical world to warm her heart of ice. It is made from sheets of paper and light, designed to give a live audience an intimate and immersive experience of film, theatre, dance, mime and animation.
We created the show during a four month artist residency at the Kuenstlerdorf Schoeppingen in Germany. All we had was a 5D Mark ii, an old Macbook with After Effects, some builders lights and a green cloth that we improvised as a makeshift green-screen. Before we started we had no idea how to make pop-up books let alone how we could combine them with projections. With a lot of care, love and arguing the idea eventually came to life.

Thanks.

Photographer and filmmaker Sean Stiegemeier created this amazing video of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption in Iceland using a Canon 5D Mark II and a time lapse dolly.
So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.
Wish I had more time. I missed all the cool Lightning and the Lava of the first eruption. But I figure this will just be a trial run for another day.
I am of course accepting sponsors to send me back there for more please…!! haha

A pinhole camera, taking 4×5″ pictures (˜10x13cm) on 3 different 35mm roll films!
The battlefield is a revolutionary pinhole camera that simultaneously uses 3 rolls of 35mm film to capture an image split across all three rolls.
This short film made by Steven Monteau Explains how to use the Battlefield Pinhole Camera.

Some interesting work still being with film:
Laptopograms are images made by pressing photosensitive paper onto a laptop screen and flashing an image in a manner not unlike contact printing or photograms.

June 22, 2009 – “Eastman Kodak Company announced today that it will retire KODACHROME Color Film this year, concluding its 74-year run as a photography icon.”
Can’t say that I used it much but the images I’ve seen shot with Kodachrome easily rivaled the quality of Velvia or Ektachrome.
