May 16th 2012 - 0 comments

Well, whether or not you agree with the Gizmodo post we featured yesterday, Flickr continues to add improvements to try and make itself more appealing to existing users and, perhaps, some older users that have moved on to other sharing options.

by NS_Photography

May 16th 2012 - 0 comments

9 out of 10 adults in America believe that people are over-sharing sensitive personal information. One culprit is the GPS-enabled camera, which can reveal exactly where you were at a specific time by baking the information into photos. If you’re uncomfortable with how specific this EXIF data is, Canon has a solution: fuzzy accuracy. The [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/28/72/472872.jpeg[/IMG]

London-based advertising and art photographer Atton Conrad does some pretty interesting mixing of fashion and light painting photography. He has done a number of images for magazines and ad campaigns that feature models wearing dresses manufactured from light rather than fabric.

May 15th 2012 - 0 comments

For those of us who remember it, Flickr was once an amazing place. More than just a website or a bucket of features, it was a vibrant community made up by professional photographers and amateur photo junkies alike. Before Facebook would even allow you to upload anything more than a profile picture, Flickr was the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/26/39/472639.jpeg[/IMG]

by NS_Photography

May 15th 2012 - 0 comments

Sadly the gravy train has left the station, at least where the Nikon D4 is concerned. In the past, D4 owners were pleasantly surprised when they opened up their treasured new possession to find that Nikon had thrown in a complimentary 16GB XQD card and reader, but no more. Henceforth, shipments of the Nikon D4 [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/25/98/472598.jpeg[/IMG]

Marc Jacobs Slaps Graffitied Store Photo onto Shirt, Gets Last Laugh

May 15th 2012 - 0 comments

Don’t mess with Marc Jacobs. That’s the lesson graffiti artists should take from a teensy little altercation between Marc Jacobs and the infamous graffiti artist Kidult. When Marc Jacobs employees awoke to a vandalized Soho boutique the morning after the Met Ball, they snapped a few photos before starting to clean it up. But instead [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/25/74/472574.jpeg[/IMG]

Trippy Music Video Features Monster Silhouettes Singing in Bokeh

by NS_Photography

May 15th 2012 - 0 comments

This music video for the song “Solidified” by Gramatik features an interesting technique: custom bokeh shapes that move. We’ve featured creative bokeh techniques in the past, but they’ve all focused on floating words or static shapes. Director Brad Hasse went a step further by having his monster silhouettes in the out-of-focus light points move around [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/25/54/472554.gif[/IMG]

Photographers: You?re Being Replaced by Software

May 15th 2012 - 0 comments

The image above is one-hundred percent fake. It has no connection whatsoever to the world of things. I created the bolts, lights, textures, and everything else in a free, open-source, relatively easy-to-use software package called Blender. It’s easy enough that even a novice user like me is able to make a pretty convincing image. If [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/25/22/472522.jpeg[/IMG]

Beauty may only be skin deep, but apparently it’s also scientifically measurable. At least that’s what Lorraine Cosmetics was banking on when they put together the Britain-wide beauty contest “Lorraine: Naked.” Contestants, who were not allowed to have had any plastic surgery, were asked to send in a photo with no makeup on, and after [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/25/12/472512.jpeg[/IMG]
