Photo Ops: Valenzuela Traffic Zone City

Jason Miraples — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 21:15:26 +0000

I’m living in Valenzuela City for more than 5 years from Karuhatan to Malinta and photo below is the most anticipated scenes every 15 to 30 minutes of heavy rain. Traffic is one of the problem that I can see on this city and if you add the flood, you can call it “disasters”. I have no against to the local city government, but this kind of event every time there’s a rain and typhoon, I think they should think a better solution.

Anyway, this post is not about the flood or the problem of my city. I just want to share my Photojournalism, shots because starting today, all of my personal shots aside from Wedding, Portraiture, Fashion and Glamour portfolio is going to be posted on this blog.

However, events such as Birthdays, Corporate Events and the like is going to be posted and shared in my Facebook Fanpage so that my client can tag their own pictures.

You can visit www.jasonmiraples.com for my business photography portfolio.

Till next time and see you soon in one of your future projects. GBU!

Make The Most Of A Fisheye

Jason Miraples — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 09:16:57 +0000

Compose to frame your central subject within the curves of any objects along the edge of the image.

Get down low. This and other unusual vantage points conform to and elevate the fisheye look.

Focus close. The best fisheyes let you get an inch or two from the subject. Nearby objects loom large while those in the background shrink, creating an almost three-dimensional sense of depth.

Canon Firmware Update: Manual Video Control for 5D Mark II DSLR

Jason Miraples — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 21:14:55 +0000

As a satisfied 50D user, I am pleased to announced that 5D Mark II DSLR has a great Firmware Update.

Manual control of HD video is something photographers have been asking for since the 5D Mark II was announced last year. The new firmware update does not allow the camera to shoot in 24p video mode, however, which is another highly sought-after feature in the 5D Mark II.

The update is available by clicking here. Word of warning though: the link to the new Canon firmware seems to be getting hit with a ton of traffic and is running slow.

Thanks to PDN Gear Guide for the updates!

Jason Miraples — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:18:01 +0000

A NIKKOR lens is a commitment to perfection, which is why we make our own glass for our lenses, and why we’ve done so for over 70 years. Nikon is, in fact, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of optical glass.

Picture your world through a NIKKOR lens.

Happy 70th Anniversary Nikon!

Jason Miraples — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 21:12:07 +0000

The August 2009 issue of News Photographer magazine features a first-person cover story by photojournalist Ramin Talaie about his three-week assignment in Tehran, Iran, covering the days leading up to the presidential election and the violence and protests that followed.

Also in this issue, news on the second anniversary of the deadly Phoenix news helicopter midair tragedy that killed four of a lawsuit settlement along with new safety recommendations; a feature about three Nebraska photojournalism students who are spending the summer on the road in a travel trailer with one of their professors, Bruce Thorson, searching for the impact of the Great Recession on Nebraskans; and Rino Pucci writes from Milan, Italy, about the historical and propaganda issues surrounding photographing “power.”

These features and more in the August 2009 issue of News Photographer magazine.

News Photographer magazine supports the efforts of the National Press Photographers Association in its role as the voice of the photojournalist by communicating news, identifying trends, delineating issues, and providing information, and recognizing the work of photojournalists. The columns and articles that appear in the monthly magazine are often cited as “the authority” on topics ranging from law and ethics to technology. A subscription to the magazine is a benefit of NPPA membership, but non-members can also order a subscription.

Red Unveils Modular Camera – Camcorder Hybrid System

Jason Miraples — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:11:38 +0000

Another good news from Dan Havlik of PDN Technology Editor. Enjoy!

Cult camcorder manufacturer Red finally took the wraps off a new product it had been teasing on its website and in online forums for weeks — a multi-purpose hybrid camcorder/digital SLR that lets the user create their own custom imaging device based around Red’s sensors.

Though Red had said at the NAB show in Las Vegas last April that it would release two camcorders — the professional-level Epic which would shoot at up to 5K resolution; and Scarlet, a more prosumer camcorder that would shoot in 3K, it now appears that those two models have become the guts of an entirely new module-based product. What that product is exactly is still somewhat unclear which is, perhaps, the point.

Along with a series of images showing the new camera/camcorder hybrid in various configurations, the most revealing piece of information Red released this morning was a new brochure outlining the Red DSMC (Digital Stills and Motion Camera.) The headline of the brochure reads: “Scarlet. Epic. An Extreme Case of Multiple Personalities.” According to the brochure, “Scarlet and EPIC are the DNA of RED’s new DSMC system.”

To create a system, the potential customer would select a “Scarlet Professional or EPIC Master Professional ‘brain’ and start configuring.” These “brains” use either Red’s Mysterium-X and Mysterium Monstro sensors. With three Scarlet brains to choose from — two 3K models and a 5K and 6K model with prices ranging from $2,500 to $12,000 — and three Epic brains — a 5K, 6K and 9K, ranging in price from $28,000 to $45,000 — the options are numerous.

The buyer would then pick and choose from an assortment of parts including handles, lens mounts, batteries etc. to “build” their own camera. Along with using Red’s own lenses, the DSMC system would accept Nikon and Canon lenses via special mount adapters. According to Red, the new system provides “2,251,799,813,685,248 possibilities (as of today).” While that’s obviously overstating it…perhaps not by that much. The new DSMC system gives new meaning to the term “modular.”

Whether potential customers will be thrilled with this new hybrid offering from Red or just confused remains to be seen. If the online chatter is any predictor though, Red has lived up to its reputation as a hype master that delivers. Online blog sites and user forums were overwhelmed this morning with a range of positive comments that bordered on apoplectic

“I have to say this is one hell of a product,” one commentor on the Gizmodo gadget blog noted. “The fact that over the years if you love your camera all you would have to do is switch out the sensor when the hottest new one comes out is fantastic, and would save photographers a truck load of cash over the years. Add to that i can use my collection of lenses that i already have and you have one hell of a camera to take on Nikon and Canon.”
