More Cameras

What's not clear in addition to the picture is actually the digital back attached, that's the Hasselblad 39MP CVF-39
 
Canon 1D Mark IV with a 35mm f1.4.  I like.

    If you like the Canon 1D Mark IV, check out this short film by Vincent Laforet, shot with only available lighting with Mark IV: http://youtube.com/watch?v/48lg59zgQkM

    there's a story behind this. if you're interested, check out the photo news at my company blog.

  2. The problem is I like all the cameras.

    The link no longer works as Canon issued a take down. Even Vincent can't show it in his blog. Poor guy. Anyway, I did a search and was able to see it in Youtube still. I have to say, he is simply a better still photographer. I am not as thrilled as he first shot Reverie using the Canon 5DMKII a year ago.

    i knew they requested a take down but the link shoudl still work - it's just for some reason, this doesn't let me paste the link & so I copied it but probably made some typo.

    anyway, interesting story but not so interesting video. like you said, i think his first was better. but considering this one only used limited lighting, it's still pretty impressive.

  4. Laforet attracted a large audience when he did his presentation for Canon in Photoplus. I only stopped and listened for a short while as the part I listened to was mostly his older works, aerial shots for the New York Times, which he talked about in his prior presentations a year or so ago. I don't know if he ever talked about specifically about Nocturnes or the 1DMKIV experience.

    I think I was more excited about Reverie not because it was necessarily better, it was more like a first done using a DSLR with 1080p with such finese and production value (Nikon D90 was the first DSLR though at 720p). I wonder why Nikon doesn't go 1080p at least it would look good on spec if not the real video.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
