adan Posted July 25, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) This video slide show went live last night - 98% Leica M8, 2% Lumix FZ10 or Sony R1 file shots: Rocky Mountain Independent RMI Archive Dragon Boat: Culinary, cultural and competitive | News, commentary and discussion about Denver and the Rocky Mountain region. Most of the "telephoto" action shots are 50%-pixel crops from the M8 using the 135 Tele-Elmar - about 400-600mm equivalent. Amazing what that 45-year-old lens can do. This was last week's project - motion video plus M8 stills: Rocky Mountain Independent RMI Archive Sidewalks, sunshine provide blueprint for young artists | News, commentary and discussion about Denver and the Rocky Mountain region. The M8 saved my behind when I discovered in editing that I didn't have a great closing sequence. I just used the reference portraits I'd taken originally just to keep track of which kid made which blueprints. I love the 8-year-old "photojournalist" snapping away using the viewfinder of her Canon A-whatever. Get them hooked while they're young and they'll be photographers for life. Off to cover this year's Dragon Boat races. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc247 Posted July 25, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 25, 2009 Andy, very nice work...i really liked the umbrella shots in the first video, all three (?) of them were very creatively composed and revealed much of the character and ethos of the event and the culture represented. thanks for sharing.

Steve Ash Posted July 25, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 25, 2009 Very nice images. I think the story can be further improved if you limit the number to the strongest. I would think of 20 to max. 36 images. Kind regards Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted July 26, 2009 Hi, Steve. Fair point. I wanted to keep the pace up with the music rhythm, and had to work around the fact that in some cases I had to pick a "second choice" image because my best image in a series had become someone else's intellectual property. But like you, I normally believe in tight editing. It's been an interesting (re)learning experience working with new technology and new media (sound, motion) on deadline. I hope I'm managing to improve with each new project. Some new pix from today (all M8) have been added - not a video, just a gallery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted July 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2009 Andy, If you look at sites containing photojournalism, e.g. http://www.burnmagazine.org or PRIVATE n. 45 - DEVELOPMENT. An Ecological Question, the standard seems to be to have very limited number of pictures but to add text to each. I think it also very much depends if the story is presented in print or online. It is for sure a very interesting field which I have not endeavoured myself. Regards Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
