I recently came across 500px as a gallery site, and I really like it. The portfolio, image viewer, quality of photos, submission and ranking, and ease of use is really good, and they are currently working on Lightroom exporters and such.
They need to work on the search and tagging a bit, I think Flickr still beats them in that capacity. Anyways, I am not here to review (yet), but to post my first photo uploaded on their site.
I’ll continue to post things to Flickr, but I’m starting to transition to 500px for a trial period. If it compares favorably to Flickr end up buying a year of their service, I will probably not renew my Flickr Pro.
edit2: fixed!
edit: well, it seems to post in only one size, which is a bit bigger than the column width. I will figure it out later.

The tilt-shift effect, normally used in photography to make large things seem toy-like. Now applied to Van Gogh beautifully:

HDR video accomplished with two Canon 5d Mark II’s and alot of video editing.
(I think when the Mk III’s come out, I will have a hard time resisting)

This video highlights several clips we’ve made using our new High Dynamic Range (HDR) process. Video is captured on two Canon 5D mark II DSLRs, each capturing the exact same subject via a beam splitter. The cameras are configured so that they record different exposure values, e.g., one camera is overexposed, the other underexposed. After the footage has been recorded, we use a variety of HDR processing tools to combine the video from the two cameras, yielding the clips you see above.
HDR Video provides filmmakers with many exciting new opportunities. Not only can HDR video create interesting effects, it can also allow for even exposure where artificial lighting is unavailable or impractical. For example, when a subject is backlit, one camera could be set to properly expose the subject, the other the sky, resulting in video with perfect exposure throughout.
We will continue to develop and improve the HDR video process for better results and efficiency. For more information, check out our website www.sovietmontage.com.

Rainy Day Experiments
Oct 3
It was pouring rain all day today, so I used the time to set up a little water drop lab and kept experimenting with it. Here’s a blue drop of soy milk into water.
This is taken with my new Tamron 70-300 lens, and using the built-in flash.
