The Green Robot in the service of Photography

After previous controversial post and dozens of negative comments, I'll try to be less controversial this time ... at least I'll try

Why i hook android  phone to the camera?

Because of:

- dropbox

- social media

- quick editing for the web

-  intervalometer

- macro, low angle photography

- external  screen for video

- wifi

- and much more...

Change The View

When you look through your dslr viewfinder what you see? Some of you see nothing (mostly because cap is on) and some of you see what normally you don't wanna see (like cats and other too cute stuff for pros like us) But what to do when you wear SquarePants that don't fit your viewfinder and your pocket is empty to buy hassel or other real heavy mens pulling muscle medium 6by6 only right format camera. I can't help you with that but i can help you to see your world in right way and by that i don't wanna narcotize you or by sending you to Specsavers. I wanna work with you around your dslr viewfinder. Be warned you need more like basic skills to do this mod, when you are not comfortable with that simple don't do it. If you still want to do this, find a clean, well-lit dust-free place and let's get started:

How to give old Nifty- Fifty new life

 

This post was made ​​specially for the contest How I Took It.

A lot of us making a tilt lens for our dslr thought about using the medium format lens but not many people know the full frame lenses will give the trick too. I mod the lenses already for some time and so far I'm not bored with it. Why I use full frame lenses? - simple because of the bokeh - at apertures lower than 2.8 is just incredibly delicious and I can not stop myself from shooting with this modified lenses. Check my pictorial how I transfom my old and lovely Pentacon 50mm f1.8 to a rubbery, tilty piece of glass.

Gloomy, cloudy, rainy.

Why I do what I do? Why can not I do what Others are doing? Why I get wet in the rain? Why I freeze in the cold wind? Why I not get paid for it? Why Am I always late? There are many why, but only one answer - That 's why ;

DiyTilt lens on full frame camera

  I made a small test of my 50mm diyTilt lens. How it behaves on the full frame camera. It was not easy - rear lens element was too close to the mirror of what could cause blockage of the mirror or in the worst case, threaten damage. I always say, measure the distance from the mirror to lens mount and always keep that in mind, for APS-C you have much more space to work on the FF is not so much. I will not give you any measurements because if you're trying to do lens as my you need to know what you're doing if you are unsure do not do it. Anyway after a small processing with precise dremel tool i managed to mount the diyTilt lens on 5dMk2 and the are effects of my tests.

HDR - Unrealistic Experiments

Some do not like this type of photography but I personally think that everyone should try to create your own HDR, even though the picture would never get out of the briefcase.

Corporate portraits

Several months ago I made a few quick portraits for the needs of the family business Joynt & Crawford. Photos recently appeared on their new website. For headshots I used white background and two flashes. I set a standard lighting, one flash to separate the person from the background and the second lamp with white umbrella as the main light so-called key. You can find more pictures on the company home page www.joyntcrawford.ie

AIB Street Performance World Championship 2010

Dublin in the last few days was filled with people seeking fun, especially on Merrion Square where took place the fifth AIB Street Performance World Championship, street artists, jugglers, comedians and dancers have gathered in order to compete among themselves for first place which will guarantee their performance in the next year ( incl guaranteed a free stay at the hotel). The event was great laughter and admiration for this year's high level of street artists. I highly recommend to see the AIB Street Performance World Championship in the next year, great fun guaranteed.
