50 Years Ago: The World in 1961 - Alan Taylor - In Focus A half-century ago, much of the world was in a broad state of change: We were moving out of the post-World War II era, and into both the Cold War and the Space Age, with broadening civil rights movements and anti-nuclear protests in the U.S. In 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th president of the United States, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to fly in space, Freedom Riders took buses into the South to bravely challenge segregation, and East Germany began construction of the Berlin Wall. That year, Kennedy gave the okay to the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion into Cuba and committed the U.S. to "landing a man on the Moon" with NASA's Apollo program. JFK also oversaw the early buildup of a U.S. military presence in Vietnam: by the end of 1961, some 2,000 troops were deployed there. Let me take you 50 years into the past now, for a look at the world as it was in 1961. [50 photos] Use j/k keys or ←/→ to navigate Choose: John F. Canon John Collins of St.

La disparition du photographe (Photomaton 1) Richard Avedon (Esquire), Marilyn Monroe, 1957 A l’entrée de l’exposition sur le photomaton du Musée de l’Élysée à Lausanne (jusqu’au 20 mai), le visiteur peut se faire tirer le portrait dans un des rares photomatons argentiques encore en fonctionnement, datant des années 1930 et importé des États-Unis (collectif 312photobooth) pour la durée de l’exposition. Sur la paroi, on peut lire « Children photograph perfectly regardless of how much they move » (ci-dessous); l’ambiguïté sémantique de ce verbe ‘to photograph’ me semble emblématique de cette exposition : sont-ce les enfants qui photographient ? ou sont-ils ceux qui sont photographiés ? Qui est l’auteur d’une photographie de photomaton ?

40 Beautiful Examples of Bokeh Photography Inspiration by Bill Jones 16inShare I’m sure most of you have heard of the term bokeh. Basically it is referring to the aesthetic quality of the blur produced from a shot with shallow depth of field. Bokeh is a very subjective thing.

High Speed Liquid and Bubble Photographs by Heinz Maier It never ceases to amaze me: just when I think I’ve seen every possible permutation of an artform or technique—be it figurative sculpture, stop motion animation, or in this case, high speed photography—somebody comes along and manages to do something radically different. German photographer Heinz Maier says that he began taking photographs less than a year ago in late 2010. He claims to not know what direction he’s heading in just yet, right now he’s experimenting with macro photography, mostly insects, animals, and these delicate high speed water droplets. 312photobooth.com Awesome Photographs of Italy www.incrediblesnaps.com is coming up with awesome photographs of Italy.

Marta Penter Photography Reviews, How-To, and Galleries of Digital Grin By Baldy. Much of this was learned from Dan Margulis' book, Professional Photoshop. Great prints: Pleasing skin tone First, the bad news: 99% of all problems with printing photos are related to skin tones. And it's the subject most likely to make photographers weak in the knees. Measuring the colors If using Photoshop, go to Window > Info to bring up the Info window you see to your right. Stay with us! 90% of all you need to know is that you can never let the yellow % fall below magenta % on anyone's skin unless you're trying to show sunburn. Your camera may capture images with less yellow than magenta in skin; unfortunately, they won't look pleasing in print if you leave it that way. Reasonable magenta & yellow values A fair-skinned pinkish baby could be as light as 15% magenta, 16% yellow. Asians and hispanics have typically 10-20% higher yellow than magenta. Too much color In the days of film, we used saturated films like Fuji Velvia for landscapes but less saturated films for portraits.
Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Aspherical Sony DSLR With 6-Year USA Warranty World's first and greatest zoom ratio of 15X, covering 28-419mm 35mm-equivalent angle of view Going back to the basic concept of "one lens covering everything from wide angle to telephoto," engineers at Tamron took up the difficult task of expanding the zoom range of Tamron's high power zoom lenses even further. Their unstinting efforts to extend the telephoto end beyond previous limits while retaining the wide-angle end at 18mm has borne fruit as an ultra high power zoom lens that is exclusively designed for DSLR cameras and boasts the greatest zoom range of 15X for the first time in the world. Tamron's original VC mechanism for effective shake-free hand-held photography Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism was built in the AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di VC (Model A20) for the first time.
