The Falcon – Stop-motion film

by Mike Wong on 07.30.09 in Photography, Video • 1 Comment

One of the guys I work with here at onOne just posted a link to this video on his Facebook page and I thought it was so cool that I wanted to share it with you here. Very creative and very well done. The music is fantastic. Check it out.

The Falcon is a steampunk stop-motion film in HD that stars Professor Weston (ISO 50), Silly Patty (+2/-2 EV) and ‘Howell’ the Owl (f/256), as they journey throughout the Focal Kingdom searching for dinner. The Falcon is composed entirely of macro-photographed hardware pieces from disassembled vintage/antique cameras and features music from eslmusic.com artist Thunderball, with sound design by Bret Johnson.

From A.gfa to Z.eiss, and whatever your (small, medium or large) format, The Falcon has a perspective for everyone. Visit thefalcon.tv nest for the synopsis.

Special appearance by: the Aperturians, and Howell’s wife Bell. Partial list of parts: Falcon Minette, Argus AF & C3, Mercury II, Yashica TL, assorted Weston Light Meters, various Polaroid Land Cameras.

Crocosmia through a 135mm lens

by Mike Wong on 07.07.09 in Photography, Video • 4 Comments

I recently picked up a new toy – the Canon EF 135mm f/2L lens. My good buddy Rick had loaned me his for a weekend a while back and ever since I’ve been lusting after it and wanting to get my own. And now that I do, I find myself wanting to shoot in more low light situations where I might have avoided them in the past.

So last night as the sun was setting, I went outside with my 5D Mark II, the 135mm f/2L and my tripod and shot some photos along with this short little video. Nothing fancy. Just having a little fun with the depth of field and thought I’d share it with you here.

Nothing fancy. Just a fun depth-of-field experiment with my Canon 5D Mark II and my new Canon EF 135mm f/2L lens that I just bought.

Shot at 9:15 pm. ISO at 3200. Aperture priority mode set at f/2.

Kodak Kodachrome

As many of you have probably already heard, earlier this week, Kodak made it official that they are discontinuing sales of KODACHROME color film this year. The end of a 74 year run.

The only reason I mention this, is earlier today, I was browsing the web site of Los Angeles Times Staff Photographer Robert Lachman and came across the collection of photos his father, Mort Lachman, took of Bob Hope using 35mm Kodak KODACHROME film. Robert (@photoandmac on Twitter) has been sharing these photos with readers of his website for almost a year now.

Be sure to read the stories on Robert’s web site to learn more about his father Mort and his relationship with Bob Hope. There are some great photos up there.

Another example of photographers using the DSLR Camera Remote app for the iPhone was brought to my attention last week. Marshall G. posted some photos of his work photographing water drops while using the DSLR Camera Remote app. Check out the full setup in his blog post as well as additional pictures from his shoot. Here’s a photo (used with permission) from the shoot.
