Last minutes with Oden

This short film/video just goes to show you, you don’t need big expensive equipment to show your work. It’s been over a couple of years since I went through this. I thought I was past it until I watched this short film, made on Canon 7D DSLR, which provoked some strong emotions.

Aerial Videography with a Canon DSLR

Ken — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:40:52 +0000

The more video I see taken with Canon DSLR’s, the more I want to get one. Not so much to go the route of getting into videography, but just to play with the technology. Especially when I see videos like this. I’ve always had an interest in strapping a smaller digital camera into a remote helicopter and taking aerial photos, but doing something this would just be awesome. Scary, but awesome.

Photoshop Content-Aware

This is cool multiplied by a thousand. Anyone who has ever used the clone tool to fix anything in Photoshop will agree. My mouth dropped when I saw this.

It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to publish anything, other than photos. So, I wanted to take a moment and post my favorite photos that I published in 2009. I know, I’m a little late and I wanted to publish this in early January. Unfortunately, time got away from me. In any case, below are my picks for 2009 that I liked the most.

World Animal Day - 2009

Ken — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:22:02 +0000

Since we’re on the subject of wildlife and animals in general today, I came across some more inspirational photos over at Boston.com’s Big Picture site. These world animal day photos are something to marvel at. As always with Boston.com’s Big Picture, the photos are large and in charge and always worthy of viewing.

Birds on a wire = music notes?

Ken — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:29:45 +0000

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

“Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.”

43″ Curved Monitor

Ken — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:11:46 +0000

NEC has announced their new 43″ curved monitor with a 32:10 aspect ratio. Did I mention curved??

I can only imagine how nice this would be to process photos, play games and watch an occasional movie on. If it wasn’t for the steep price tag, I’d love to have one!
