Shutters Inc – episode 308

This week, a few video-related stories, including the one about the ‘model’ (she’s actually a freediver) who held her breath (whilst tied up underwater!) for 4 minutes, for a single-camera-move music video,
Jimmy Nelson (the brains and shooter behind the “Before They Pass Away” series) put together this video of the tribes on Tanna, an island in Vanuatu. Tanna is home to Mount Yassur, the volcano I visited in 2006.
There’s the ‘QuickRelease One’ from Edelkrone, which positions itself as the quick release system to rule them all,
and when you just want to kill some hours looking at more awesome photos (’cause flickr, 500px and google plus clearly aren’t enough!), there’s this site.
By the way, while we’re talking about 500px and flickr, anyone else noticed how eerily similar they look?

Carl found this video on youtube about shooting tethered to an ipad with LRCC,
Glynn likes the look of Pallette, a loupe-like colour-reading-gadget. I’m sure there’s a more technical name for it, but you know how it is… Glynn is the tech-head on this podcast! 🙂
He also found this video about a group of students who went out to shoot the Perseid meteor shower.
Have you dropped some serious coin on photo gear and later regretted the decision?
Seems you’re not the only one. And the comments are worth a read, too.
In the vein of last week’s portfolio that merged vintage images with surreal surroundings, Glynn came across this lot, which uses 1900’s Detroit in modern ruins. We have just one question. WHY?
Adobe wants us to stop using “photoshopped”, “photoshopping”, et al as verbs and adjectives.
Glynn also found this stunning collection of macro-dioramas. From the “too much time on his hands” book, this Japanese man created one of these every day for 5 years!!
Anf Glynn discusses his plans for the remainder of the year. I’m seriously starting to think he wants to get out of doing this podcast! 🙂
