Medium format night out

All right, so last year Erhan and I booked a Mamiya RZ67 PROII with 120 film back for a photoshoot. We got all the 120 color films but we ended up using the Leaf Aptus 65 digital back. After the shoot we had our usual snack go back home smoke sisha drink beer, finish the retouching. Then we realized that we didnt use any of the color film we bought for the shoot. So we decided to take the Mamiya out in London and somehow we ended up in embankment at 4 am.

Today 20.10.2011 I find these negatives while I was looking through my negatives box and decided to scan them.

Here are the results

Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

Looks interesting and fun. My sister would love this.

Also this can be useful to me for recording or documenting behind the camera at location shoots, or any photographer who wanna have an interesting view of concert, fashion show, behind the fashion show, or any crowded event.

Its amazing how they did it. Really inspiring project.
A similar method was used in "The Matrix" but it was in half circle instead of 360 degree. 

Heaven to Hell - David LaChapelle

Heaven to hell is one of the books that a fashion photographer should have in his / her library or bookcase. The book does not contain any technical aspects of fashion photography. Its a book to look at it and to be inspired.

UnderWater Photography - COLORS

As you may know during the summer I had LOTS of Free Time and put that free time in to good use and become a diver. It wasn't easy as easy as I imagined . . . Well theory and practice part was easy but my teachers were from military so they were strict & hard. When I took the under water photography course I learned that colors lose contrast or completely change or disappear under water.

The picture above shows in which depth colors change or disappear. (the writing is in Turkish but still you can understand)

Between 3 - 4.5  meters and below RED
In 9 meters and below ORANGE
In 18 meters and below YELLOW
Between 27 - 46 meters and below GREEN
In 46 meter BLUE
Under 46 meter DARK BLUE and PURPLE

The colors that are lost can be seen in light. So if the diver has under water light or under water flashgun for the camera then he can capture the true colors by lighting them.
