Panoramic Judder
I’ve been pissing about a little with my Sony NEX-5 as a result of an accidental discovery I made while shooting in the (mostly excellent) Panorama mode. When used to shoot distant landscapes (as intended) the mode/camera does really well at stitching the scene. However, if you compose the shot with an additional foreground subject, the camera/processor seemingly can’t handle the crossover and produces some weird slicing style results which are arguably a bit more interesting than the straight aren’t-I-clever panorama stitches.

Light Drive
Stop motion form and colour, using light painting techniques. Each frame (photograph) is a long exposure photo, with exposures reaching up to 20 seconds. The lights are run by an Arduino controlled via bluetooth to drive a stepper motor. This motor controls the movements of the lights remotely from Processing.

My good friend Mr Tim Hearn takes photo’s of wildlife. He’s been travelling the world for years taking said photo’s and he’s actually got pretty good – as you can now see on his new blog item which is here.
Good work Mr Tim Hearn.
GlastoTag
Orange is aiming for the Guinness World Record for the ‘most people tagged in an online photo’ with this 1,300-megapixel picture captured at around 3.45pm on 23 June right infront of the Pyramid Stage. When you find yourself, (as several of our office seemed to have over the weekend), just drag the tag marker to the relevant position in the huge big photo and tag it.
Awesome.

Sony NEX-5 | Quick Review
The NEX-5 is apparently the smallest APS-C hybrid digital camera yet, delivering image quality to match a digital SLR. The camera has interchangeable (alpha) lenses, a 14-megapixel APS-C format sensor, flip-up screen, background blur, twilight mode, continous shooting at 7 frames per second and full HD movies with live autofocus. The interface is pretty simple (kinda like a Cyber-Shot), with navigation mainly via a scroll wheel on the digital display. There’s also a handy “shooting tips” function – which is essentially an in-camera manual for the photographically retarded like myself. Shooting wise, the camera is very responsive. I love the old-school shutter action and the lack of lag – plus the continuous shooting setting is freaking awesome.
I’m no photographer, but this is by far the best (compact) camera I have used. The features, settings and image quality are top-notch, without the bulk and complexity of a DSLR. If you’re thinking of buying a new compact and you can stretch to around £500 – I’d highly recommend you get yourself an NEX-5.

A Thousand Shades Of Gray | Jimmy Hansen
“A Thousand Shades of Gray” is the unmasking of the scars produced by a digital scalpel and brush. The cost of the corrections of the original photo that attempts to fulfill societies ideals and demands. When this material is taken from its original context it can become frightening, raw, fascinating and even enchanting in its naked absurdity.
