May 30th 2012 - 0 comments

If you liked the the “impossible shot” from the film Contact that we shared earlier this week, you’ll enjoy this clip as well. It’s a shot from the film Sucker Punch that uses some clever camera work and trickery rather than CGI to create its mind-bending effect. Interestingly enough, both this clip and the Contact [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/82/88/478288.gif[/IMG]

What do you get if you apply every Instagram filter to a single photograph? Belgian blog Appelogen decided to find out, starting with a normal photo of a pathway and applying one filter at a time.

A Photo Series of Missing Persons Posters

by NS_Photography
May 29th 2012 - 0 comments

There’s something profoundly sad about a missing persons poster. That rectangular piece of paper often signifies a last ditch effort, a one in a million chance, and it’s that desperation and sadness that Graham MacIndoe captures with his “Missing Persons” photo series. Started way back in 1989, the series takes an up close and personal [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/79/07/477907.jpeg[/IMG]

May 29th 2012 - 0 comments

Leica’s new black & white rangefinder, the M Monochrom, eschews the standard color filter found in ordinary camera sensors in order to capture higher quality monochrome photographs. How much of a difference does this make compared to the standard practice of converting color images to B&W?
