En mi caso, uno de los descubrimientos que me hicieron ganar el Nobel no me sirvió en su día ni para obtener una plaza de profesor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y les diría que se arriesguen, porque en la ciencia sucede igual que en los negocios: si te la juegas y ganas, el beneficio es espectacular, el descubrimiento mayusculo. Por esa razón, no deben temer al fracaso, no es algo negativo, es un paso más hacia la solución del problema, no deben desanimarse ante un fracaso. Que piensen que tener éxito haciendo lo que hace todo el mundo resulta, al final, un no éxito. No se trata de hacer mejor lo mismo que otros ya hacen, no, se trata de hacer otra cosa. Nadie es el mejor sin arriesgar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y lo importante no es ir a clase, ni los examenes, sino trabajar y pensar por si mismos. Que extraigan el conocimiento directamente de la observacion del mundo, no de lo que dicen otros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aprender cosas de segunda mano ahoga la creatividad y la originalidad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;John Forbes Nash estuvo 25 años fuera de la racionalidad. Su esquizofrenia le alejo de la racionalidad, pero de vuelta a ella recibió el Nobel de Economía y consiguio -y sigue en ello- traducir al lenguaje matematico una amplia lista de complejas relaciones humanas.&lt;br /&gt;Muchos le conocen por la pelicula &lt;a href="http://www.abeautifulmind.com/" target="_blank"&gt;"Una Mente Maravillosa"&lt;/a&gt;, para él una buena historia de ficción, aunque sabe que su excepcional cerebro le ha ayudado a dar grandes pasos al conocimiento. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texto: Xavi Ayén&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creo que el consejo de John es un claro ejemplo para extrapolarlo a la fotografía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No me gustan las corrientes actuales mayoritarias de la fotografía, hay que hacerlo diferente.&lt;br /&gt;De cada millon en flickr, 100 son las personas que veo que no siguen estas corrientes y casualmente hacen foco manual o disparan pelicula o usan marcas poco convencionales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(por eso a veces no suelo dar el valor que se merece mi eos 400d, pero ella lo hace muy bien)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las personas que gastan fortunas en actualizar su objetivo L a una nueva version, su body a uno con mas puntos de enfoque, y no son capaz de destinar un 10% de esos valores a una camara de medio formato, de 35mm, telemetricas o lentes ya descatalogados, no considero que sean alguien verdaderamente aficionado a la fotografia ... o llegado al caso, alguien que arriesgue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alguien que considera que &lt;a href="http://www.fotomaf.com/blog/24/08/2009/las-aves-cabarceno/" target="_blank"&gt;su 5DMkII no es la mas adecuada para fotografiar aves, porque antes ha tenido una 1DMkIII con mas puntos de enfoque y velocidad de disparo&lt;/a&gt; considero que tiene que salir del encerronamiento de estas nuevas corrientes fotograficas y de los conceptos prefijados que tiene. Arriesgar mas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nachopello/3997742432/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/3997742432_ed30337c9e.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;Vuela&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50mm, foco manual&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi admiración es para &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chachahavana/" target="_blank"&gt;chacha&lt;/a&gt;, un tio que por lo que se ve, tiene mucho dinero (ver su equipo), pero sin embargo, hace cosas como estas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chachahavana/3906181503/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3443/3906181503_a75b0efb00.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;con esto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;" Voigtlander 5B.&lt;br /&gt;The lens is around 150 years old made around 1850.

&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;aka. Elph Jr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con todo este movimiento de camaras digitales sin espejo, con la llegada de las micro 4/3, la X1 de leica y lo que esta por llegar de Ricoh y Samsung NX, creo que es un buen momento para dedicar una entrada a una olvidada gran camara, que seguro no muchos conocereis.&lt;br /&gt;Es el caso de la pequeña Canon Ixus L1, aka Elph Jr / IXY 310.&lt;br /&gt;Lo mejorcillo que se puede encontrar en aps compacta.&lt;br /&gt;Ya lo podeis ver en la foto, es completamente diminuta, mas pequeña que una caja de tabaco, de solo 125g, alberga pelicula aps con un tamaño por frame panoramico de 30,02×16,7mm, muchisimo mas grande incluso que el sensor micro 4/3 (18×13.5 mm) (como dato que no deja de ser curioso, es incluso mas grande que el sensor de la 1D Mark IV) con un lente fijo luminoso, de cuatro elementos, 26mm f/2.8 (33mm equivalente en 35mm, crop 1.25x).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El visor es super super pequeño (0.35x magnif.), pero esta ahí y como es autofoco, para el framing va perfecto, lo bien que le vendria uno parecido a las Micro 4/3 pero como son de optica intercambiables es mas complicado, al menos si tuviesen uno para focal 35/40 o 50mm que es lo que mas se usa, muchos estarian agradecidos, y no se necesita mas que una diminuta parte del espacio de la camara para agregarlo, seria un plus yo creo.&lt;br /&gt;El caso es que la mayoria se quejaria, ellos con sus kit zooms no le encontrarian sentido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con esto que ya os he dicho, sabreis las tremendisimas capacidades de esta pequeña joya, que por cierto, solo me ha costado 1€ en ebay hace ya un tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problemas ... el caso es que por donde vivo no revelan la pelicula aps, y si lo hacen te dan copias en papel y sale caro, tampoco es facil conseguir carretes, en ebay aun se encuentran algunas.&lt;br /&gt;Yo hace tiempo que tengo la camara, pero aun no he revelado ninguna foto, prometo buscar por todos los medios la forma de revelarlo en casa (adaptando un espiral al tamaño de la aps) y tambien encontrar la forma de escanearla, (adaptandola de alguna forma al soporte del scanner).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo segundo es que es completamente automatica, si tuviese la habilidad de controlar manualmente la apertura, seria la mejor camara que podria tener en todo momento conmigo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;este recuadro muestra el tamaño real de la camara en centimetros&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img

type='text'>La historia de Vivian Meier y John Maloof</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.vivianmaier.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YUrw6ooCZj4/SuDeQHWsotI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/danAPLH2DnI/s1600/PROFILE%2BPICTURE%2BFOR%2BBLOG.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La historia comenzó cuando John Maloof adquirió en una subasta muebles y antigüedades que fueron puestos a la venta por los dueños de un depósito de almacenamiento debido a los pagos atrasados de sus dueños. Dentro de esos muebles, Maloof descubrió una increíble colección de más de 40 mil negativos, en su mayoría de formato mediano, cuya existencia ignoraba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maloof encontró un nombre, Vivian Maier, escrito con lápiz en los sobres de laboratorio. Decidió entonces buscar información sobre la dueña de estos muebles y sus negativos fotográficos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vivianmaier.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YUrw6ooCZj4/SpIGP4DqGAI/AAAAAAAAAb4/A9vOuDR3ljQ/S220/PROFILE+PICTURE+2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La pesquisa del flamante dueño de la antigüedad le permitió contactar a Central Camera Co., una de las tiendas de venta de artículos fotográficos más antiguas de Chicago. Ellos le contaron que habían conocido a Vivian, porque de vez en cuando les compraba la película que utilizaba para sus trabajos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por lo poco que sabían de ella, se trataba de una refugiada judía francesa, nacida el 1 de febrero de 1926 y que había llegado a Estados Unidos en la posguerra, en la década de 1950. Incluso, algunos de sus trabajos muestran la ciudad de Nueva York, donde probablemente Maier residió durante algún tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los dueños de Central Camera dijeron también que tenía un trato muy distante y que amaba las películas extranjeras, a las que valoraba mucho más que a las americanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además de los entre 30 y 40 mil negativos de esta colección, unos 10 a 15 mil negativos más seguían aún en rollos sin revelar desde los años 60. Todavía hoy hay unos 600 rollos en esa condición.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En algunas de sus fotos se ven niños, y muchas están ambientadas cerca de la playa. Al parecer, según reconstruyó Maloof, Maier trabajaba como niñera para una familia en el lado Norte de la ciudad de Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El 21 de abril de este año, apareció en el diario Chicago Tribune el obituario de Maier. Según ese texto vivía en Oak Park, un suburbio de la ciudad, y era "una segunda madre de John, Lane y Matthew".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después de contactarse con el diario para saber quién había dado la orden de publicar el aviso, John Maloof llegó a una dirección en el lado Norte, que no existía, y un número de teléfono que estaba fuera de servicio. Tantas preguntas sin contestar lo llevaron a crear un blog para difundir la obra hallada, Vivian Maier - Her Discovered Work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;de &lt;a href="http://www.clarin.com/diario/2009/10/22/um/m-02024494.htm" target="_blank"&gt;diario Clarin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;escrito por &lt;strong&gt;Cecilia Profetico&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al ver una infima y pequeña parte de todo su trabajo, ya me he dado cuenta del potencial de esta mujer, me he quedado sencillamente pasmado.&lt;br /&gt;Siempre he querido hacer street en formato medio, espero alguna vez tener la oportunidad, y si lo hago, poder ver mis fotos 50 años despues. Invaluable.&lt;br /&gt;Os dejo una muy pequeña seleccion, no tiene desperdicio, recomiendo visitar el blog de John Maloof y seguir viendo mas, si fuese millonario, compraria toda la coleccion por la suma que se merece (mucho).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vivianmaier.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img

2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;POLAROID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A principios del año pasado, Polaroid Corporation dejaba de producir su película constituida en ícono y mito de una era. "9 de octubre", es la fecha que se verá impresa como "Expiration Date" final de la última partida de películas fabricadas por la marca símbolo de las instantáneas. La exhibición de Galería Atlas - Londres- reúne una vasta colección de imágenes Polaroid de fotógrafos y artistas que han colaborado con la empresa como parte de sus programas de investigación y desarrollo como también las de aquellos que deben su reconocimiento y fama a la calidad de sus Polaroids tradicionales e intervenidos. La muestra, de este modo, traza un recorrido histórico, que por medio de imágenes, une linealmente los inicios del medio con lo producido hasta el presente. La fecha de apertura de la muestra este "9 de octubre", coincidente con la fecha final de expiración de la última partida de películas bajo propiedad de Polaroid Corporation, constituye un símbolo y un merecido homenaje a una película única representados en toda la obra que nos deja".&lt;br /&gt;mas info... &lt;a href="http://www.atlasgallery.com/atlas.php" target="_blank"&gt;Atlas Gallery - Fine Art Photography&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Exhibition ATLAS Gallery - Fine Art Photography - London&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;9 October - 28 November 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;POLAROID&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early last year, the Polaroid Corporation ceased producing its iconic film. The 9th October 2009 will see the final "Use by" or Expiration date of the last batch of Polaroid film manufactured. The exhibition at Atlas will feature a wide selection of Polaroid prints by photographers who have either worked directly with the Polaroid Corporation as part of their research program or who have become famous for the quality of their Polaroid prints either alongside or independent from their traditional camera-based work. It will thus trace the development and use of this unique medium up to the present day. The opening reception will coincide with Polaroid film's final date of expiration.&lt;br /&gt;read more at... &lt;a href="http://www.atlasgallery.com/atlas.php" target=""&gt;Atlas Gallery - Fine Art

Really cool gadgets to enjoy, their sturdiness and high quality, getting all that detail that 120 film can get, using, of course, manual focus. But he is also shooting a Nikon D200 and D50, we´ll ask him later about his thoughts on both formats. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I bumped into Diego on flickr, I just _loved_ his work, let´s try to know him a bit better through this interview, hope it´s interesting and inspiring...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Tomada con / &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Taken with&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - Polaroid Land Camera 250 + Close-up kit + Fuji FP-100c + SL-3 flash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Camara Mamiya M645 + Mamiya-Sekor-C 80mmf/1.9&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/2122713555/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2051/2122713555_f802523b09.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;¿De que modo forma parte la fotografia en tu vida ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mí la fotografía es un acto creativo. Como informático, mi trabajo quizá está demasiado llevado por unos límites muy estrictos, muy &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;"cuadriculados",&lt;/span&gt; como se diría que somos los informáticos. Necesito, pues, algo con lo que poder expresar libremente lo que mi instinto me dicta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así, la cámara y la fotografía me sirven en general como un relajante ejercicio de mirar al mundo sin prisa, de buscar belleza, de ser capaz de crear algo que puede atraer a los demás.&lt;br /&gt;Mostrar algo que haya sido creado por mí y que lleve, en cierta medida, algo de mi interior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He pasado por varias etapas: empecé con una réflex digital (&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;Nikon D50&lt;/span&gt;) y fotografiaba todo lo fotografiable, con miles de fotos en cada salida. Eso me sirvió para aprender qué puedo esperar de la fotografía desde un punto de vista técnico. Después me interesó la fotografía analógica, primero por su mayor dificultad (enfoque manual, medición, exposición), después por ser capaz de utilizar cámaras que han sido joyas de la historia de la fotografía, como las Rolleiflex, Norita, Hasselblad... Esas cámaras están muy por encima en calidad de cualquiera de las actuales, y a las pruebas de 40 años de funcionamiento me remito...&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, también me incliné por la fotografía analógica porque me permitía y casi obligaba a pensar más a qué hacer fotos y cómo hacerlas; ser más selectivo, buscar un resultado activamente, más que limitarme a apretar el disparador y mirar la pantalla. Ahora, con un carrete de 120 en 6x6 de 12 fotos, tengo para un buen rato, y mi tasa de fotos que me gustan ha subido mucho con respecto a la etapa digital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resumiendo, para mí la fotografía es una herramienta para expresar mi creatividad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;How does photography fit in your life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;To me, photography is a creative process. As an IT guy, my work is often constrained by rules and regulations, thus, I need something that lets me express freely what my instinct tells me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;A camera and the pictures I take with it are a soothing exercise to look at the world in a relaxed way, take time in the search of beauty, being able to craft something that can appeal to others. Show something created by me and that, to some extent, takes a part of me with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´ve been through various stages, I started with a DSLR (nikon D50) and took pictures of almost everything, thousands of shots per "tour". It was a great school to learn what I can expect from photography at a pure technical level. After that i got into chemical photography, first for the greater challenge it represents (manual focus, exposure, framing), and second for the oportunity to shoot with photographic royalty, such as de Rolleiflex, Norita, Hassellblad...Those cameras are beyond anything in the market right now and the fact that 40 years later they still work, speaks for itself... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;In short, i took a turn to chemical photography because it forced me to think each and every picture, what to shoot and how to shoot it; being selective, purposely search for a particular result, not to stick with pressing the shutter and look at the screen. Now, a 120 roll gets me through a full "tour", and the number of keepers has gone up from my digital stage. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Photgraphy is a tool to express my creativity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Bronica GS-1 + Bronica PG-105/3.5 + 6x6 back + Fuji Pro 800z&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/240205177"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2367/2402051776_d36f3406d5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Nikon d50 + Sigma 30mm f/1.4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/310419655/in/set-72157600000335845/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/115/310419655_1fcb69a89d.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;¿Que piensas del enfoque manual ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0)"&gt;Y del AF ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nadie puede igualar el placer de mirar a través de un visor y hacer que lo que quieres enfocar quede nítido de forma manual. Tienes siempre la sensación de estar manejando una compleja maquinaria ancestral.Sí que es verdad que hay ciertos eventos más livianos en donde echo mucho de menos el autoenfoque :) Supongo que el AF es necesario para fotografía en movimiento, deportes, etc. Pero a mí me interesa más la fotografía más o menos estática (macro, bodegones, paisajes, etc.) en donde el AF no es tan necesario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Tell us your thoughts about Manual and Automatic Focus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Nothing beats a viewfinder and using your hand to focus. Theres this ancient machinery allure. It´s true that there are more mundane events for which i miss a fast AF :) I guess AF is necessary for action photography, sports, etc. But I´m interested in a more "static" photography (macro, still life, landscape, etc.) where AF is not that important.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;¿Como has ido adquiriendo tan increible colección de equipo de formato medio?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues básicamente con paciencia y constancia en Ebay... Ha sido mi principal fuente. Cuando algún item venía en un estado malo (casi nunca) intento restaurarlo con mi poca pericia, pero algo he conseguido. Me gustaría tener más tiempo para comprar herramientas para restaurarlas. Son auténticas joyas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;How did you get such an incredible collection of medium format photo gear?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Constance and patience on ebay...That´s my main source. Whenever I saw a damaged iten (almost never) I tried to repair it with my scarce skills, but I managed to get somethings done. I´d like to haver more time, get proper tools and try to bring them to life again. They are real jewels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meopta Flexaret VI Ttv&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/457158939/in/set-72157600238410627/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/196/457158939_8aa368a03f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pentax 67, 165mm 2.8 - Norita 66, Noritar 80mm f/2.0&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/2164146504/in/set-72157600238410627/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2318/2164146504_594f9d4e82.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cuentanos un poco sobre tus comienzos en la fotografía&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He comentado algo en la primera respuesta. Siempre me había interesado la fotografía para deleitarme mirándola, pero nunca pensé hacer fotos. Mi mujer &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;Emma&lt;/span&gt; me regaló por un cumpleaños una &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;Sony&lt;/span&gt; compacta con la que me aficioné y me presenté a un concurso regional. Gané un accésit, y con el dinero me compré la &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;Nikon D50&lt;/span&gt; que comentaba antes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le tengo mucho cariño a esa cámara porque me sirvió para aprender fotografía en todos los aspectos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como he comentado, sin embargo, pronto me empezó a llamar la atención las fotografías perfectas conseguidas con un soporte más complejo de dominar, como era la &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;película&lt;/span&gt;, y comencé a interesarme por este tipo de cámaras.&lt;br /&gt;Comencé por las de 35mm (Nikon F90x, FE2), que además me permitían usar casi todas mis lentes Nikon. Después di el salto a formato medio, no sin gran temor, porque en mi vida había visto un carrete de 120 ni sabía siquiera cómo montarlo. No recuerdo exactamente cuál fue mi primera máquina de formato medio, aunque creo que fue una &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"&gt;Bronica ETRS de 6x4,5&lt;/span&gt;. Increíblemente buena para su precio. A partir de ahí, el coleccionismo casi se convirtió en un hobby, y he ido consiguiendo pequeñas joyas a precios, digamos, razonables, aunque siempre tiene uno la sensación de que tiene muy poco y se ha gastado demasiado... Aunque la fotografía nunca es un tema racional...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Tell us a bit how you started in photogrphy? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;em&gt;I have always loved photography, i love wathcing photography but never thought of taking them. My wife Emma got me a Sony P&amp;amp;S and began shooting. I entered a local contest and got an accesit, with the money I bought the Nikon D50.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;em&gt;I really love that camera because it got me started.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102);font-size:100%;" &gt;As I said before, the challenges ofered by more intricate cameras and sistems, such as film, and the results achieved got my attention. I began with 35mm film (Nikon F90x, FE2) that allowed me to use all my nikon lenses. I then jumped to medium format, not having even seen, or know how to use a 120 film roll, I was a bit freaked out. I don´t remember exactly what was my first medium format camera but it might very well be the Bronica ETRS 6x4,5. Amazingly good for the price I paid. From then on I took collecting as a hobby and I have been gathering at reasonable prices...........yeah, lets go with reasonable, a really nice collection, although you always have the feeling that you got too little and paid too much... But we now that photography is not a rational act....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Norita 66 + Noritar 80/2 + Fuji Astia 100F&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/3432412363/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3568/3432412363_2533f9d650.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Nikon d50 + 85mm f/1.8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/316051026" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/100/316051026_5ffad96626.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;¿Cual es tu metodologia a la hora de procesar pelicula de formato medio ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voy huyendo siempre del postprocesado. Soy muy purista en ese sentido. No critico a nadie que utilice cualquier programa de edición y retoque de imágenes. Sólo digo que a mí me gusta más el "look" no-procesado.&lt;br /&gt;No revelo mis negativos porque no tengo el conocimiento suficiente, ni el tiempo ni el espacio. Los llevo a revelar y luego los escaneo con un Epson V750 Pro. Es una máquina asombrosa, aunque a veces deja un poco que desear en los oscuros. Después de eso, retoco un poco los niveles, si la foto lo necesita, o el color, si el proceso de escaneado los ha modificado, o si la foto ha quedado oscura (téngase en cuenta que utilizo cámaras que tienen entre 70 y 20 años de media, y a veces las velocidades de obturación están bastante tocadas).&lt;br /&gt;Por lo demás, no retoco más las fotos. No sé exactamente por qué, pero me satisface mucho más hacerme la imagen mental de cómo quedará la foto de forma aproximada en el momento de tomarla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;What process you use with your medium format film?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´m always running away from post-processing. I´m very strict in that sense. I´m not critizicing anyone that uses any kind of editing software. I´m just fond of the non-processed "look". I don´t develop my film because I don´t have the required sills, nor the time and space it takes. I take the rolls to a profesional lab and some of them I scan with an Epson V750 Pro. It´s an amazing machine, although a bit lacking in shadow resolution sometimes. After that, I just adjust levels, if the shot needs it, sometimes color if the scanning process has altered them. A lot of shots come out underexposed because of the aging shutters (between 70 and 20 years old shutters). I don´t do a lot more than that. I don´t know exactly why but I get more satisfaction trying to visualize a given picture at capture moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Rolleiflex SL66 + Rollei HFT Planar 80mm/2.8 + Fuji Velvia 50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/3570990837" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3331/3570990837_ab4eaf7115.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Kowa Six (Volkshasselblad) + Kowa 80mm/2.8 + Fuji Pro 160C&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/2891408548" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3185/2891408548_938eb04788.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Danos una breve opinion sobre Digital y Película, tus pensamientos y consideraciones sobre cada formato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En primer lugar, es innegable que el digital es mucho más práctico. Si eres un profesional que tienes que estar todo el día con la cámara, el digital es lo único que se te puede pasar por la cabeza. En cuanto al analógico, es adecuado si no tienes un volumen de producción de fotos grande. Para uso personal, digamos. En mi caso, veo la fotografía como una producción artística. En este campo, cada uno selecciona el elemento/herramienta que mejor le permite expresar lo que quiere conseguir. En mi caso la película me lo permite mejor. En definitiva, yo los veo como equivalentes. El único pero es que con digital (normalmente, a no ser que te gastes millones) no puedes usar las magníficas cámaras de dos objetivos con visor de cintura, rolleiflexes, hasselblads, noritas, bronicas, etc... Sobre todo las TLR, que son una delicia de usar. En general, me atrae más el formato analógico también por el romanticismo del gesto, del uso de esas cámaras. De poder preservarlas y soñar con quién usó esa cámara 30, 40, 50 años atrás, qué fotos hizo, quién las fabricó, y cuán bien se conservan...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell us a bit about Digital and film, thoughts and considerations about each format.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;First, digital is a lot more practical. If you are a pro carrying around your camera all day, digital is the way to go. As far as chemical goes, it´s only adequate if you don´t produce in big volume. Personal use, you could say. In my particular case I see photography as an artistic production. In that field, each of us has his own weapon of choice to express whatever you´re trying to achieve. Film, allows me to do just that. The only "but" about digital (unless you spend a couple hundred grand) you can´t use the twin-lens Noritas, Rolleiflexes, Hassellblads and Bronicas.... Almost every TLR is a joy to use. There´s also the romantic gesture in using film photography, and those cameras, wander about their previous owners 30, 40, 50 years before, who put them together and how good they stand the test of time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Pentax 67 + 105mmf/2.4 wide open.

El hecho de esperar horas a que suceda algo a nivel microscópico me relaja. El mundo mirado a través de una lente macro es totalmente diferente (y sorprendente), y se me pueden pasar horas paseando por praderas o montes. Es lo mejor de la unión de la fotografía y la naturaleza.También me gustan los paisajes y la fotografía urbana nocturna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;What kind of photography you enjoy the most?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I really love macro. There´s something relaxing in the long hours waiting for something to happen in the microscopic world. Seeing the world through a macro lens is something entirely different (and amazing), I can just lose hours and hours wandering through prairies and mountains. It´s the perfect union between nature and photography. I also like landscape and urban night photgraphy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Pentax 67 + 105/2.4 + 3 rings of extension tubes + Fuji Velvia 50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/2496839721/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3035/2496839721_64a447dc63.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Norita 66 + noritar 80/2 + fuji velvia 50 + CPL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/2537546210" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2537546210_38e3a1bd4e.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Minolta Autocord 6x6 + Fuji RVP 50 slide film&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsevilla/2377531831" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2034/2377531831_4c9dd58804.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;¿Tienes algun proyecto en mente ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pues tengo varios, a medida de que mi tiempo me lo permita. Me gustaría, por ejemplo, iniciarme en la fotografía de gran formato. Compré una Graflex Crown Graphics que sólo he usado una vez con un adaptador de 120, y tengo varias hojas de 4x5 que no he podido ni usar, por falta de tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También me gustaría escanear todos los negativos que tengo atrasados, y quizá, hacer alguna exposición (si me aceptan, claro :) ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quisiera aprender a revelar y a ampliar, pero no tengo ningún círculo cercano que sepa o realmente haga estas actividades, así que no tengo a nadie del que aprender, y poco tiempo para ello.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y finalmente, me gustaría tener tiempo libre para fotografiar :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Do you have any upcoming projects?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Well, i got a few, as long as I have time for them. I would love to start in large format. I got a Graflex Crown Graphics that i have only used once with a 120 adapter, I have a few 4x5 sheets that I haven´t been able to use because of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would also like to scan all the negatives in the "to do" pile and maybe setup a show with them ( if someone accepts me, that is :) ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing in my to do list is learning to develop and process negatives and paper but there´s nobody near me that knows about this stuff and can show me, besides, I don´t have the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, I would love to have time to shoot :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51);font-size:78%;" &gt;Mi mujer Emma / &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;My wife Emma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - Pentax 67.

Utiliza película formato 127 que le permitía tomar 8 fotos de 4x6 cm.&lt;br /&gt;El formato 127 se introdujo en el mercado en 1912 y se dejó de fabricar en julio de 1995.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The interesting thing about this camera.....it was loaded. Uses 127 film that allowed for 8 shots in a 4x6 frame. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The 127 format was introduced in 1912 and was retired from the market in 1995.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La película en cuestión es Kodak Plus-X, ISO 125, que todavía se fabrica, aunque obviamente no en ese formato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The film in question is the Kodak Plus-X, ISO 125, that is still available today but obviusly not in that format.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El desafío era revelar una película que evidentemente había sido expuesta muchos años atrás.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The challenge was to develop a film that was exposed many, many years before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigando en Internet y tratando de encontrar experiencias similares (infructuosamente) finalmente logré acercarme a un tiempo de revelado tentativo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Surfing through the interwebs and trying to find similar user experiences (with no, to little success) I was finally able to come close to a guesstimate about developer times and such.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego del proceso de revelado, el negativo tenía un visible y profundo velo, pero a trasluz y con una iluminación potente se alcanzaban a ver 7 fotogramas, uno de ellos se destacaba del resto, quizá subexpuesto originalmente.&lt;br /&gt;Elegí éste fotograma y lo digitalicé con el escáner. El resto no fue posible, ya que tenían tanto velo que el escáner no lo reconocía. Para ellos utilicé otra técnica.&lt;br /&gt;Los reproduje con la cámara digital como si fueran diapositivas. Adherí la película a un vidrio, la retroiluminé con el flash y fotografié los 6 fotogramas restantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;After the developing process had a visible veil but with a powerful light box i was able to see 7 frames, one of them obviously underexposed at capture time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;I scanned that shot, the rest had sucha deep veil that the scanner didn´t recognized them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;I used a different approach with those. I shot the negatives with my digital camera, I stuck the film to a piece of glass and backlighted them with my flash.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La mejor de las imágenes rescatadas, la escaneada, es ésta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;From the recovered images, the scanned one is this one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digireflex.net/tecnica-analogica-f92/revelar-un-rollo-50-a-os-despu-s-t38448/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii15/jmfarfa/cosas/127.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando la interesada vio esta foto, inmediatamente identificó a su madre en la señorita que está abajo a la derecha y estimó que la fotografía data de aproximadamente 1960. O sea próxima a cumplir los 50 años.&lt;br /&gt;Se cree que fue tomada por su abuelo y como en 1960 la cámara ya tenía casi 40 años de antigüedad, es muy probable que su abuelo la haya heredado de su padre, o sea que, el bisabuelo de la actual heredera de la cámara habría sido el original propietario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;When my student saw this picture, she inmediately identified her mother as the lady bottom right and said it was probably taken in 1960. Close to 50 years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;She said it was likely that her grandfather is the one who took the picture, since the camera was already 40 years old, it was probably a heirloom from his father, the great grand-father of my student.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo esto fue una vivencia enriquecedora y por demás emocionante.&lt;br /&gt;Enriquecedora porque fue una experiencia fotográfica nueva y que no creo que se vea muy seguido.&lt;br /&gt;Y emocionante porque con sólo pensar el hecho de haber sido el primero en ver estas imágenes después de 50 años y que el autor lamentablemente no haya podido verlas, se me pone la piel de gallina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;It has been an enlightening experience, completely new to me in the world of photography and I don´t think you get many of these.

Here we aren’t talking about technique or equipment, we’re talking about soul. His pictures have their own soul. Real pictures of real situations, but with a special atmosphere, breathing sensations, moments, and his air charged with the magic of film….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#666666;"&gt;"Couples love their sh*tty own wedding photos that nobody else could stomach looking at for more than 30 seconds unless you knew the people". We envy the few couples that look further then these one in a million pictures and end up with Edward Olive. Because Edward Olive is not just a wedding photographer. He's not just a photographer, but embodies the struggle of a great artist who is yet to get the recognition he deserves. Refusing to water his style down, his photos are raw, pure, grainy, erotic while remaining the delicateness and finesse of someone who puts thought in every aspect of his work. Just have a look at his photostream and you'll notice that your heart pounds faster. Please enjoy this feature with one of our favorite, if not favorite artists"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you have to say to someone who has never used anything but auto focus?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sound like a good idea to me. The easier the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important thing in art in general, whether in photography or in any other medium, is to express oneself in a unique, original and genuinely personal way, provoking or sharing ideas, sensations, contrasts, plays on words, humour, emotions…Using technical aids such as autofocus help to free us up to think about other more fundamental aspects of the composition of the picture. AF gives the photographer speed, and for certain types of photography the faster the better. Intimate, fleeting, unrepeatable moments are not lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working in weddings I use a lot of different types of camera including three Contax g1 rangefinders with Carl Zeiss t * f2/f2.8 auto focus lenses. Whilst the Contax G series don’t have the same level of fame as Leica M with the wealthy family doctor and airline pilot amateur camera buffs, nor the same cachet factor with vip clients, they are comparable in size and weight to a Leica M7, really give the Leica a good run for its money on quality and are incredibly reasonably priced. Considering price, quality of lens, size, weight, ease of use, quality of build I would say they are almost unbeatable, and combined with AF, that the Leica M doesn’t have, makes them ideal for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Man with digicam &amp;amp; man with cigarette &amp;amp; happy lady”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(Contax G1 Carl Zeiss 45mm f2 t* using auto focus and aperture priority exposure)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3792917586/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss3CKmIWRwI/AAAAAAAAAC8/2gwAgHH5h6E/s1600/image003.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In weddings I used to use Canon EOS 5/a2 y EOS 1 AF advanced film auto reflex bodies with Canon L lenses, always with AF. However I think I now prefer the size, weight and quality of the Contax (canon L lenses are absurdly large – it must be just a selling feature or fashion). To the standard sane photographer the difference in size and weight is not that crucial, but since I shoot off 3-4 cameras at once all hanging from my neck with different lenses on the front and a variety of black &amp;amp; white, colour negative &amp;amp; slide film inside, the weight difference multiplied by 3-4 starts to make a big difference on the neck and in the camera bag when working long hours. The only “drawback” of smaller lighter rangefinder bodies and lenses is that more cameras &amp;amp; lenses fit in the bag so I end up taking even more bl**dy cameras to work than before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“After hours”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(Canon EOS 5/A2 85mm f1.2 L)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3142357134/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img  src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss8VR-nAWPI/AAAAAAAAAEc/9lzcSUZ9iy0/s1600/image005.png"  /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently I’ve also been using the panoramic rangefinder 24x65 (on 35mm film) Hasselblad xpan. However I soon found out that focusing the thing on little kids running up and down or catching a split second kiss from the wedding couple was almost impossible especially “wide” open at f4 in lower light. Now for day shots I just stick it on f16 set to 1.5 metre focus that way pretty much everything is in focus without needing to screw up my eyes trying to manually focus and still lose shots.&lt;br /&gt;AF though is just one part of the “lottery” shooting process I use in social event photography. Basically I just press the fire button on AF, with auto advance and often even aperture priority shutter speed auto exposure and keep pressing none stop all day on ridiculous numbers of cameras until I run out of film and have to reload them all, stopping briefly for some soft drink, if one’s handy, before going on again until the end of a 12-14 hour shift. After that much squinting and that many hours the truth is my own eyes don’t work well and the brain has few ideas left. Fortunately if you keep shooting auto cameras long enough something decent will inevitably always come out, even if it’s just playing the lucky numbers game in a 62 film roll wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“Newly weds 3am”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(Contax T2 compact “point and shoot” with Carl Zeiss 38mm f2.8 t* on auto focus and aperture priority at well past my manual focus possibilities by 3am. A camera I always keep on my belt at work to have to pull out when all other guns have run out of bullets)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3893530584/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img  src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss8VBVKbXPI/AAAAAAAAAEU/_KS8-NU8_wM/s1600/3893530584_8d0b4bb43f_b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should also not forget the ease of zone focus point and shoot 35mm semi wide angle cameras like the Lomo lca or Olympus XA range, Minox GT, etc etc cameras, especially useful for street photography – super small and light you can carry them anywhere with you, discreet (you don’t even need to put them to your eye that way nobody know you’re shooting them) and fast easy to use, so fast in fact they are faster than auto focus with no delay or fiddly focus in low light. Better a XA4 than the newer MJUII for the street in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“Young lady in street”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(Olympus XA2 35mm f3.5)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3506134254/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss3HdJ1hZaI/AAAAAAAAADU/hEBwR314wOg/s1600/image009.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There also even exist focus-free cameras like the medium format 6x6 Pouva Start or compact 35mm Vivitar Ultra Wide &amp;amp; Slim. Often dismissed as toy cameras these little 20 euro or less eBay bargains can get super pictures by liberating the photographer almost completely by having no focus at all (everything more or less in focus from 1 metre away), only one shutter speed of about 125 (plus bulb if you are lucky like on the Pouva) and in the case of the Vivitar only one aperture (of about f22).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alf_sigaro/351661172/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss3Hz0jiQNI/AAAAAAAAADc/WwPSy62IDI8/s1600/image011.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" target="_blank"&gt;creative commons&lt;/a&gt; license CC BY-SA 2.0&lt;br /&gt;By &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alf_sigaro/351661172/" target=""&gt;alf_sigaro&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;What do you think about manual focus?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is I do actually use manual focus quite a lot in my own personal work when I don’t have the same pressure to produce huge amounts of images quickly and safely that I have at work in weddings.&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the main reason is that my favourite cameras are only manual focus. Here I mean cameras from the 1970’s and 1980’s that are made of real metal with lenses made from real glass, that don’t break when dropped, don’t get stolen because they don’t look fashionable and even have amazing abilities to stand up to rain and seawater getting in without dying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would particularly mention the Hasselblad V series that, in my opinion, are the cameras that produce the best images of any cameras ever made. I use a pair of Hasselblad 500 c/m with the range of Carl Zeiss t* lenses and A12/A24 film backs + Polaroid type film backs when I really want to take a serious picture. I always try and persuade clients to go for the Hasselblad pictures over just digiphotos. When shooting erotic sessions with brides or outside work I almost never use any other type of camera and indeed point blank refuse to shoot erotica using modern digital equipment. The colors, contrasts, light control, textures and dreamlike qualities obtained naturally from this level of 6x6 medium format film camera, without any need at all for the computer special effects many modern photographers now resort to, is in my opinion unrivalled. There does exist I admit a range of medium format Hasselblad H1 and Mamiya 645 auto focus film cameras but even there I still believe the quality is just not quite the same… and they aren’t square images which I do really like as a format.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“Man under sunshade”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(Hasselblad 500 c/m Carl Zeiss 80mm f2.8 t* Kodak Portra 100T 120 film (expired year 2000) manual focus)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3975240112/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss3ISUMr_JI/AAAAAAAAADk/gutWK-C08no/s1600/image013.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, with the exception of Leica M, another gigantic advantage of non-AF cameras is the price. They now almost give them away on eBay. When you think of the ridiculously high prices these Japanese companies charge for some dreadful modern plasticcy digicam that doesn’t even have a sensor the size of real 35mm film let alone a 6cm square negative I sometimes think the world has gone completely insane. For the same price as a tourist level digiSLR like a Canon 500d and dreadful kit lens you can buy a Hasselblad V series with standard focal length lens, film back and still have money left over to get a super 8 real film camera on eBay to use instead of the 500d video facility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“Railz”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(Hasselblad 500cm Carl Zeiss 80mm f2.8 t* manual focus)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3963296125/" target="'_"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss3IpB2BvFI/AAAAAAAAADs/O8KbceWOM4Y/s1600/image015.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is photography for you?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photography has now become my main source of income and as such allows me to live… almost everything I have and everything I do is paid for by photography. As such I am lucky to make a living off what is essentially artistic creation. I am also lucky in that in photography a pro photographer can be his own boss, a one man band, his own small business and with a bit of luck get a decent lifestyle and the odd luxury out of it. As such photography is freedom from the rat race of office worker commuters chained to desks and bosses in often mundane jobs. I was once a commercial lawyer, which, as office jobs go is really not that bad, but I’m not going back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is however untrue to say that to work as a pro photographer is not an awful lot of work. It is. In weddings it means constant travelling, almost never having a weekend free, long hours and late nights and above all pressure always to produce super pictures and never to miss anything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaving aside more prosaic matters, photography is a way to express oneself artistically and emotionally. Not only this, but with creative freedom that does not necessarily need to rely on others. This is a big difference from my other day job as pro actor where, whilst it can be possible to put together a one man show or perform in the street or self-film oneself for YouTube, it is much more difficult to produce a finished creative project alone. Actors are very dependent on the need to be chosen for parts in projects produced by others and to form a very small part of a much larger team. Whilst the superstars of photography, like the recently gone bankrupt American lady I won’t name, go with truckloads of equipment and endless lines of sycophantic assistants, I think that working almost alone wherever possible is much more conducive to a personal creative process and intimacy with models and clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Perla creative bosses are either so far above mere mortals such as myself that they don’t yet know I even exist or consider my work beneath them still and don’t call me to shoot their campaigns… but if they did I don’t think I’d be able to stand all the “creatives” and make up people and hair people and wardrobe people and catering people and lighting people and set and props people and agency people and client people getting in the way and all crowding around monitors, all having different opinions and telling me what to do. It would water down purity of expression and risk taking. I think I would go AWOL the night before the shoot without telling anyone with a couple of the models, a bag full of the fancy client-made micro knickers, the models’ own minimal makeup, natural hair and shoot the whole thing from 2-6am in late night bars, the back of taxis and anywhere else that we found, turning up the next day with a hangover only to send them all home. I do not necessarily like all of Terry Richardson’s images from his little point and shoot auto flash cameras but I do think that he has been instrumental in bringing some anarchy back to photography.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photography was for me before all the business cr*p came into it self-expression and hobby. When I get enough time off work to recover enough to get ideas it still is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wedding guests always refer to the fact that I’m a professional photographer, as if that somehow means I will therefore automatically take better pictures than them. That could not be further from the truth. Give me the pictures taken by a little kid under the table in a wedding with his mum’s compact camera and his little buddies pulling faces all at odd angles and out of focus than the (hopefully) technically adequate, but almost invariably soul-less, anti-creative, bland, client-friendly, uncontroversial, posed, staged, fake-smiled, big front-on flashed digi-wedding-photos produced by local professional photographers in provincial small towns and suburbs all over the world…. professionals who care more about paying their mortgage and the hire purchase on their family saloon than trying their best to stir up something new or genuinely exciting or original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photography can be frustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I where I want to be yet? No. Not yet. But I’m going to try by f*cking hardest to get there. Here I mean all the sweat and effort possible both to take better, more creative, more original, more aesthetic pictures with more thought, messages, contrasts, plays on words, sensuality, emotions… and at the same time to bring these pictures out of still relative anonymity and to take them places… to get them out there… and as big time as I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photography can be happiness, satisfaction, relaxation. Stay amateur it will always be simple and always happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photography can be something you share with others at the time of taking the picture together (people still love having their picture taken or having pictures taken of their kids)… or at the time you give a picture to that person... a picture they recognize as from that day but taken in a way they could never have imagined, an image that will at the same time preserve their memory and somehow change it... as if the fantasy that is the picture somehow must have existed. Talking with a client last night I realized what I sometimes almost forget… my photography makes people happy (absurd!). The pictures you produce are important to people. Whilst I strive to produce images with artistic &amp;amp; aesthetic values we cannot forget the emotional and sentimental value a picture can have for someone. I am the first to admit I am useless at shooting landscapes where you can actually see the landscape, but in a wedding a couple of months ago I somehow managed to get an ok shot of the church alone in the fields from the open top car I was in with the couple. When the bride saw it later I realized that even that shot had a profound sentimental and emotional value for her. Whilst outside my work in weddings my pictures are almost never descriptive in the sense of clearly showing people and events, even here the capture of the essence of a place or a moment or a person can have a strong emotional effect on people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;What makes a photo for you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will reply as I did to one of the lovely ladies who appear in my erotica (in whose estimation I seem to have gone up in since she has seen her pictures).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My pictures are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25% the people who appear&lt;br /&gt;25% the photographer&lt;br /&gt;25% the place, wardrobe, light &amp;amp; colors&lt;br /&gt;25% the best cameras, lenses and films ever made, from all over the world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I only play a small part in the creative process, and in weddings I try to leave the people and moments create their own magic. In my own personal private shoots I will take advantage of places, times of day, and the people I can get to appear to create images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also rely heavily on the alchemy of film + light/colors + development to create images I admit I could not fully imagine at the time of shooting, with colors I did not see. All my films are out of date and I never really know exactly what I’ll get especially when, even with a light meter, by the time I have had to calculate sky and land differences and count in several Cokin filter +1-+3 etc etc I invariably make mistakes with exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are photographers who get a little over-obsessed with equipment, thinking more about the kit than they do about the subject and ideas of photos but the lenses and films used do make a difference. That said at the time of the actual shoot a photographer needs to be able to overcome all technical issues and even artistic concepts to be able to shoot instinctively, to react naturally to what he sees. Many brides want to send me lists of my past shots they like so I can do the same colors, frames, lighting etc etc. I always refuse to look at them simply telling the rather surprised rich young ladies that I just do whatever I feel like, whatever I see, the way that takes my fancy, without planning shots or listening even to the expressed tastes of anyone. In drama school it is said that acting is reacting. An actor who does not react to the other actor in front of him and just follows a pre-planned emotional journey he thought up beforehand is not really present and is not behaving how humans really behave. Another example would be a DJ. Imagine a DJ who just played the songs in order he had prepared in a list without reacting to the dancing public. A photographer should be the same. The better shots are always the ones that just happened, and of those the mistakes, that can somehow be salvaged, are always the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“anonymous young lady in hotel room”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(wonderful 5* grand luxe hotel I was staying in to attend a wedding, bedside lamplight, wonderful lady I persuaded to appear, wonderful Hasselblad 500cm Carl Zeiss 80mm f2.8 t* + wonderful Fuji Neopan 400. Unplanned, shot in sequence just following the lady.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3919237441/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss3JMdhOc7I/AAAAAAAAAD0/8Npi2goJd90/s1600/image017.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;"&gt;Which celebrity would you like to shoot and why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Obama. He’s stylish and seems like he’s trying to do the right thing for once in America. I reckon his first lady could be pretty good too and not just fully dressed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politics aside but talking business, I would probably be best advised to shoot all the A-list celebs I can get my hands on. Only when you have the superstars in your pictures will many people suddenly be able to understand your work… not just that … be able to respect it. The portrait photographer of the rich and famous is no longer in the category of the positive nonchalant comments regarding a picture looking nice or the negative comments of it as blurred/grainy/dark blah blah etc etc. All of a sudden people will queue up in central London galleries in their thousands to admire it as ART on their bus trip weekend from up North (where I’m from too) squeezing a gallery in-between Oxford Street shopping and a musical starring someone from reality TV. Those familiar with the theatre will know Yasmina Reza’s obra maestra ART and its social comments regarding art and fame and money. Buy it on Amazon you won’t regret it. The English translation from the original French by the also wonderful Christopher Hampton - &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Art-Play-Yasmina-Reza/dp/0571190146"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Art-Play-Yasmina-Reza/dp/0571190146&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business and perceived prestige aside… really big celebrities are all interesting not just for the viewer of the picture but also for the photographer. It is as if we know these people and have done so for a long time - but do we really know them? Are we just thinking of their public persona or the parts they have played? A portrait of an old man or a child in the third world can transmit emotionally. We can feel their thought s through the transmission of eyes to camera. A celebrity perhaps goes further. When we see De Niro we are aware also decades of his performances and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really top celebs are easier in many ways to shoot. It doesn’t matter whether they are big time sports stars, performers or politicians… they are used to still and video cameras… they know how to transmit something. That however can also be the difficulty… they transmit what they want to show. A “normal person” is more vulnerable and once you get beyond hiding behind the smile people put on for cameras (not just in weddings), arguably more open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Mr mini peeper”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;(little ones are of course always super and totally natural)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/3893448700/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2530/3893448700_698ea49249.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this said here in Europe the vast majority of pictures taken of both local national celebrities and even the biggest international names are far from ground breaking or soul searching. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the stomach churningly posed Hello magazine shots at home with the whoevers or the robes and crown posing session the QEII did with the American lady I mentioned earlier. The only difference is that the American lady’s pictures were far, far more sophisticated. All though were emotionally, creatively and anarchically valueless. Even the really great photographers who are capable of taking stunning personal work for the books they publish (and I buy) have their hands tied by publicists and contracts when working and are more concerned about not showing Madonna’s age in her Vogue shoot than they are about showing her real emotional vulnerability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are of course exceptions.&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Famouz-Anton-Corbijn-Photographs-1975/dp/3829601824/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1254526857&amp;amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"&gt;Famouz: Anton Corbijn Photographs 1975 (Hardcover)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t necessarily know even here whether you really see the superstars emotionally vulnerable and not projecting a persona, but you certainly see some incredibly powerful, original, technically and creatively brilliant images of many household names. Buy it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"&gt;Who would you choose to take your portrait?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t have much interest at all in pictures of myself. I often appear in mirror shots almost inadvertently anyway… but photographers who take really super portraits in whose pictures I suppose I would like one day to appear in would include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in Madrid: &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.flickr.com/photos/edelor/" target="_blank"&gt;Edelor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Barcelona: &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgual/" target="_blank"&gt;JordiGual&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and a bit further afield: &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tommyoshima/" target="_blank"&gt;TommyOshima&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"&gt;Your favourite flickr photographers?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are lots of people going off in their own ways, doing their own thing and doing it really well. It depends on the day who I check in on. Below are a few who I like for different reasons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meblob/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/153/buddyicons/74244767@N00.jpg?1254773008#74244767@N00" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meblob/" target="_blank"&gt;Jim Blob Blann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/garyisaacs/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/buddyicons/8216473@N04.jpg?1179755034#8216473@N04" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/garyisaacs/" target="_blank"&gt;gary isaacs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crackjacksonjr/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/130/buddyicons/49291043@N00.jpg?1174238503#49291043@N00" /&gt;/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crackjacksonjr/" target="_blank"&gt;crack jackson jr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gorbochev/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/144/buddyicons/76099985@N00.jpg?1188828221#76099985@N00" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gorbochev/" target="_blank"&gt;gorbot.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaxting/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/26/buddyicons/20446524@N00.jpg?1170705294#20446524@N00" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaxting/" target="_blank"&gt;jaxting/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edoardo_pasero/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/buddyicons/27254842@N00.jpg?1230435235#27254842@N00" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edoardo_pasero/" target="_blank"&gt;edoardo pasero&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/papaiya/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/65/buddyicons/57983654@N00.jpg?1223481756#57983654@N00" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/papaiya/" target="_blank"&gt;:pap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fabiolanotte/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2159/buddyicons/58016532@N00.jpg?1232710681#58016532@N00" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fabiolanotte/" target="_blank"&gt;fabiolanotte&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would say though that whilst these guys are obviously all always really interesting creatively and technically super-proficient there are many amateur photographers who I see who only have normal cameras and don’t necessarily have super mega photoshop pro tricks etc etc but are (much more importantly) still able to have great ideas and capture super moments… like their little kitten being “cooked” in a frying pan or whatever. Photography doesn’t have to be all pseudo art or F number nonsense. A kitten in a frying pan is fun &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/merwells/1094499351/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/merwells/1094499351/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"&gt;¿How did you feel when you were nominated for the Hasselbald Masters?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“Hasselblad bride &amp;amp; groom”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;(selected for Hasselblad Masters 2009 wedding social category)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardolive/2390634945/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HWnb47-tL-0/Ss8MAvwfdaI/AAAAAAAAAEE/dIC-XppzD2k/s1600/image021.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For about a day I was really quite excited. It soon wore off though. Someone somewhere will make sure I don’t win. I have absolutely no doubt about it and I have no reservations about saying it publicly. How can they sell fancy 60mp digicameras with me as pseudo ambassador when I state publicly I prefer an old eBay Hasselblad and a dollar a roll expired film any day? I saw the other photographers in my category and with all due to respect to them (they are all clearly Photoshop Grand Masters), its just another kind of photography to mine. My pictures were all, as they always are, a bit rough round the edges. I think I’m swimming against the tide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also nominated finalist in the &lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;pro wedding category&lt;/span&gt; of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;International Photography Awards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; with my series&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt; “Real wedding photos”&lt;/span&gt;, but having shot them all on a 15 euro second hand eBay Olympus XA2 and terribly expired high grain black and white film with no staging or photoshop I only got an &lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;“Honorable mention”&lt;/span&gt;.

We´ll keep an eye open for reviews and pre-orders for this lens, we´ll tell you more when we find out more. I´m eager to see what this 35 is all about, perfect focal length/aperture for me.

And what a better place than this one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Llevo unos días lanzándome a la calle a fotografiar, me está encantando, pero es sumamente complicado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´ve been going out hunting in the streets the last couple of days, don´t get me wrong, I´m loving it, but it´s extremely hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3923614909/" target=""&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/3923614909_42fd712d00.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3924400062/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2616/3924400062_ebbe26f561.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3909803967/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2668/3909803967_96a6b26bb0.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3916193546/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3525/3916193546_959f6e8382.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la fotografía como en todo arte sacrificamos unos elementos para incorporar otros, cuando no puedes juntarlos todos, claro. El caos, la tensión, etc. también forman parte de la interpretación de la imagen, el entorno, y por eso existe distinto tipo de fotografía. Pues ni siquiera a eso le llamo robados, no pretendo que aparezca gente sin más, busco momentos, expresiones y situaciones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;In photography, like almost any form of art, we sacrifice some elements when we can put them all together. Chaos, drama, etc. they are also part of the perceptcion of the image, the context, and that´s why this kind of photography. That´s why i don´t think of them as "stolen", I´m not looking just for people, I´m searching a moment, an expression, a situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Últimamente estoy viendo muchos fotógrafos de calle, tremendos, cada vez entiendo más a "los magnum". Pero cuando vemos esas fotos como algo sencillo, como poner la cámara y hacer shot no valoramos ese trabajo, es como un familiar que no sabe de fotografía que te dice que la foto que le has hecho no le gusta porque el fondo se ve borroso y la cámara está estropeada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´m looking at a lot of street photographers, really good ones, and i´m begining to get "the magnum´s". But when we see that kind of photography we don´t usually take into account the work it carries behind. It´s like that family member that doesn´t know crap about photography and tells you that a photo is bad because the background is blurry and your camera must be broken....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguro que muchos, si leen esto, dirán, "buah, cuando veo fotos de magnum o de esas callejeras las veo de aquí te pillo aquí te mato, eso también lo haría yo si salgo a la calle". En realidad yo llegué a pensar que era "fácil", sólo necesitaba echarle huevos, JA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´m pretty sure that many folks reading us will say "meh! I could do that, you just go out to the street and shoot away". I actually thought that it´s kinda easy, I just had to throw more "balls" into the game......ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hacer fotos a nuestros hijos, familiares, no es más que buscar un encuadre bonito, un buen bokeh, que no aparezcan elementos alrededor, etc. evitar el caos para lograr algo armónico. Eso es un retrato, y sólo faltaría no encuadrar bien, o buscar un entorno perfecto, manda gaitas. Llevo mucho tiempo haciendo retratos y también sé que tiene como todo su complejidad y práctica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Taking pictures to our sons, family members, it´s nothing more than framing right, focus as you should, no distracting elements, steer away from chaos looking for something armonic.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy empezando, principalmente a quitarme el "miedo" (no miedo de que me vean) de fotografiar o experimentar, buscar, caerme y levantarme, que ello, insisto, no significa sacar el careto de alguien y punto. Se busca la belleza, la tristeza,... cada persona tiene algo que puede mostrarnos, algo intenso, pero de ahí tienes que ser tú el que sepa cuándo y cómo. Requiere mucho tiempo, y muchas fotos al cubo de la basura, es inevitable. Pero estoy descubriendo un mundo apasionante dentro de la fotografía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´m just starting, mainly to fight my own fears (not fear of being caught taking a picture), the fear to search, experiment, fall, get up again. It´s not about taking somebody´s picture, we must look for beauty, sadness...each and everyone of us has something to show, something intense, but that´s where the job begins, knowing when and how. It takes a lot of time, thousands fo pictures in the recycle bin, it´s unavoidable. But i´m discovering a fantastic underworld in the exciting world of photography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En mi primera salida me encontré con nervios, y lo único que hacía era disparar para conseguir nitidez en el sujeto, intentar no amputar, buscar una distancia acertada para no coger demasiado entorno y potenciar al sujeto, en fin, cagadas. La segunda no disparaba a diestro y siniestro, buscaba personajes que contaran algo. La tercera, buscaba expresiones, sensaciones... poco a poco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;In my first "tour" i discoverd my self full of anxiety and the only thing that i cared about was about subject sharpness, trying not to amputate any limbs, searching for the right distance so i don´t let the subject "floating", bullshit, to be blunt. The second time, i went looking for characters that told something. The third one i went for expressions, feelings...baby steps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es decir, es un proceso de aprendizaje. Ahora hay que buscar mayores sensaciones, situaciones que aporten algo más a la foto, etc. E incluso comienzas a juntar todo lo adquirido y añades aquello que sacrificabas, componiendo una foto que transmite, que es bonita y que cuenta algo, intentas juntar todo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;As almost everything in life, there´s a learning process. Now I have to take on larger challenges, something that adds to my pictures. An you even end up using all those things you sacrificed composing a picture that tells something, that is pretty...you try to pull it all together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El otro día también me lancé a fotografiar directamente a la gente, de buen rollo, buscando una expresión... pero terminan siendo posados...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;The other day I just started taking pictures of people with a more direct approach, trying to be Mr Nice Guy....but they end up being "staged"....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3923613011/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3923613011_dfa3fd1cd8.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prefiero naturalidad, pero hay que probar de todo (me arrepiento de no tener un angular manual para la ep1, tiempo al tiempo). Eso sí, aunque a algunos les joda el foco de fondo, la cafetera que distrae, o la pajaritas mal puesta,... DEBE estar así. De lo contrario, sería una jeta, que ya prácticamente lo es.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I personally aim for natural but you have to try almost everything (i´m missing a wide angle for my EP-1, but just give me time). And yes, theres the coffe machine in the back, oddly placed bow tie....but it MUST be like that. If it wasn´t, it would just be a face.....which it practically is....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seguimos con el kitkat. A mi hija, la sigo haciendo fotos, que es algo que me llena, aunque más para "album familiar", intento que tengan algo. Del mismo modo que a la familia, conocidos...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Let´s go on with the kit-kat. I love taking pictures of my daughter, it´s fullfilling on itself but I want them to "have" something. In the same way that picture my family and friends....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3911512309/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/3911512309_00e31812d6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También busco situaciones, historias, y para ello evito mostrar a la gente, cuento algo sutilmente... prueba no superada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I also search for situations, stories and for that i try to avoid showing people....whisper instead of talking......challenge not achieved.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3910585692/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3438/3910585692_7fbcbb251f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sigo probando fotos "bonitas". Sí, pero qué aburridas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Still trying for the "pretty picture". Yes, but soooo boring....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rmagdaleno/3904463333/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2517/3904463333_a2e8413131.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay que diferenciar el tipo de fotos y coger de ellas su esencia, como se pueda, aún sacrificando.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;You have to draw a line between taking pictures and capture an essence, even if you have to make sacrifices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno, espero dentro de un tiempo, deduzco que largo, conseguir resultados parecidos como los de &lt;a href="http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/entrevista-mike-peters.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mike Peters&lt;/a&gt;. Ese sí puede montar una galería.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´m hoping to get results sometime, a long time, I figure. Like &lt;a href="http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/entrevista-mike-peters.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mike Peters&lt;/a&gt;....that guy rocks! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se presupone que cualquier fotógrafo profesional de un campo específico saber hacer de todo, y no es así. Los fotógrafos profesionales de naturaleza, de deportes,... la gran mayoría no hacen retratos, no hacen sociales, no hacen macros. Claro que hacen, pero otra cosa es captar la esencia. Es decir, es como si me pongo a hacer fotos de pájaros, coches, seguro que alguna sale bien, o más y seguro que pienso que son cojonudas, pero NO es así. Requiere práctica, técnica, etc como cualquier otro tipo de fotografía. Así que seguro que les hacen fotos a sus niños, pero como si yo hago a los coches en las carreras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;It´s usually consider that any professional photographer knows how to take any kind of photography and that´s not usually the case. A sports shooter, a nature one....most of them don´t take portraits, or don´t shoot events. Well, they do, but it´s not their field of expertise and usually miss the "essence". I´m sure that if I started shooting birds, or cars, someshot is bound to happen that "has it" and that I think are just freaking great, but they´re NOT. It takes practice, tecnique, like any other kind of photography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La arquitectura es otro ejemplo, parece que si tiras a f22 y un gran angular ya consigues la foto, consigues una foto bonita, pero a f22 no tiran los buenos fotógrafos por los problemas que ellos supone de calidad. Y a menos sale con poca PdC, por lo que no son aceptadas. Necesitan más técnica y truquillos de lo que parece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Architectural photography is just another example, it seems that f22 and a wide angle is all it takes, but in reality nobody shoots f22 because of difraction so you end up getting something out of focus and that is just not right for an architect (at least some of them). It takes a lot of trickery to photograph a building.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo he terminado valorando mucho muchísimo todos los tipos de fotografía, otra cosa es que me guste más o menos. Y no es una obviedad, pues antes no era así para mi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;So I find myself appreciating a lot more every kind of photography, you might like it more or less. It wasn´t so self-evident before.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mikepeters.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mike Peters&lt;/a&gt; logra lo que comentaba, evitar sacrificar lo máximo posible el potencial de la fotografía. Él consigue captar emociones, situaciones, expresiones, manteniendo una composición excelente, una exposición cojonuda, encuentra la mejor luz, etc. Y obviamente es lo que pretendemos encontrar a lo largo de los años, pues eso no va de un par de meses con la primera reflex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mikepeters.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Mike Peters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt; achieves what I was telling you about, makes almost no sacrifice for the real potential of his pictures. Gets emotion and expression, frames beautifully, awesome exposure, brilliant light...but it takes time, it just doesn´t happen because you got a reflex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aún así, una frase citada por un compañero que creo que también dice mucho; “si no te atreves a disparar, sencillamente no hay foto”. Esa es la pura realidad. Pero claro, no sólo se busca eso, porque entonces no dejará de ser un simple robado, no me llena el haber hecho la foto y echarle huevos, a diferencia de las de Mike con su hasselblad en mano, que esas además de ser naturales están compuestas que te cagas. Es una mezcla perfecta, como también realizan otros tantos fotógrafos, de los cuales hay que admirar por cojones y no creer que es sólo el atreverse, hablo especialmente de Mike por el artículo anterior; su entrevista. Pero hablo de mi, porque lo importante es que cada uno quede satisfecho con lo que hace o quiera hacer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;Buddy of mine quotes this a lot "if you don´t dare to shoot, there´s simply no picture". That´s the bottom line. But you don´t want just that, then is just a snapshot, I´m not sattisfied with just being brave. You want the perfect mix, there are some great photographers getting their mixing going on, not just Mike, I use him because of his interview but I´m also talking about me because the important thing is that you end up sattisfied with anything you do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las fotos que hago últimamente me gustan, pero sé que se quedan a medio camino, y hay que ser mucho más exigente si queremos satisfacernos a nosotros mismos con nuestras fotos, no sólo con la calidad técnica, o el manejo de photoshop, o hacerle una foto a quien sea. Porque en el fondo, sabemos que no estamos satisfechos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así que, si alguien ha llegado hasta aquí, ya está perdiendo el tiempo. A la calle! A captar esencias con tu máquina, sea cual sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,102)"&gt;I´m kinda starting to like things I do now, but they fall short of what they can be, you have to push yourself harder, in every field, not just image quality or photoshop skills. So if you have reached here, get out!, you are losing time! go get what you see, whatever it is....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3434702742682574919-1932452157641204897?l=www.enfoquemanual.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/feeds/1932452157641204897/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/la-busco-pero-no-la-encuentro.html#comment-form' title='7 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/1932452157641204897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/1932452157641204897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/la-busco-pero-no-la-encuentro.html' title='La busco, pero no la encuentro'/><author><name>Raúl Magdaleno</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08104379932937722917'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434702742682574919.post-9134801264367942377</id><published>2009-09-15T10:00:00.031+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T21:53:52.834+02:00</updated><title type='text'>ENTREVISTA MIKE PETERS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/282324368/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/90/282324368_4bf3b18a1e.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mikepeters.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mike Peters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; nació y creció en una zona industrial de los suburbios de Nueva Jersey, EEUU.&lt;br /&gt;Empezó a fotografíar en 1975 estando todavía en el instituto, en 1977 comenzó sus estudios de fotografía en el "Fashion Institute of technology", Nueva York.&lt;br /&gt;Hoy, sigue trabajando como fotógrafo para la plantilla de la universidad de Montclair en nueva jersey, además de trabajar de manera independiente en encargos de arquitectura, retrato y fotografía de producto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mikepeters.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mike Peters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; was raised in an industrial working class suburb in New Jersey, USA.&lt;br /&gt;He began taking pictures at 1975 in high school, in 1977 he started studying in the Fashion institute of technology in New York.&lt;br /&gt;Today he still works in photography, as the staff photographer at Montclair University, New Jersey, besides freelancing works about architecture, portrait and product photography.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/3435946805/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3329/3435946805_0152bf6a16.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero lo que de verdad llamó mi atención es su fotografía callejera. Armado de una hasselblad 2003 fcw, un 50 f/2.8 y un 110 f/2.0 sus retratos están repletos de detalle y espontaneidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;But what really caught my attention is his street photography. Carrying a hassy 2003fcw, a 50 f/2.8 and a 110 f/2.0 he portraits subjects with incredible detail and spontaneity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/3805829443/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/3805829443_a6af1f33d6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el curso de su carrera se ha visto trabajando para Tiffany &amp;amp; Co, The Somerset Messenger-Gazette de Nueva Jersey, el New Jersey Herald incluyendo trabajos esporádicos para el New York Times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Déjanos invitarte a pasar un rato conociendo a mike peters y disfrutar de su impactante fotografía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the path of his career he has found himself working with Tiffany &amp;amp; Co, The Somerset Mesenger-Gazette of New Jersey, the New Jersey Herald and even freelancing for the New York Times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me invite you to spend some time learning about Mike Peters and really enjoy some of his breathtaking photography.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hola Mike, gracias por resopnder a nuestra llamada.

In &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;enfoquemanual&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; we are straight shooters so, let´s begin with a simple one ;) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cual es tu definición de fotografía?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mí, la fotografía es una manera de captar aquello que conecta conmigo a un nivel emocional. Es mi forma de expresar mi experiencia de la pequeña parte del mundo que me toca vivir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;What is your definition of photography?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;For me, photography is a way to photograph that which resonates for me on an emotional level. It is how I express my experience of the small part of the world in which I live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/3435947245/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3343/3435947245_af0f936a1f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cuentanos algo sobre tí Mike&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además de la fotografía, llevo casado 26 años, tengo dos hijos en edad universitaria y me gusta montar en mi Moto-Guzzi V11 para divertirme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell us something about you Mike&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Aside from photography, I have been married for 26 years, we have two college age sons, and I ride a Moto-Guzzi V11 Sport for fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Cuentanos que piensas sobre el enfoque manual? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;y el AF?. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personalmente prefiero el enfoque manual porque me permite centrarme en cualquier parte de mi escena. Con el AF, siempre es una lucha para enfocar y reencuadrar, mientras estás moviendo la cámara para volver al encuadre ideal, has perdido el momento. La hasselblad es solo de enfoque manual por lo que uso una pantalla de enfoque Maxwell que permite un enfoque mas preciso que las Accute-Matte que vienen de serie. Para mi trabajo comercial uso camaras Canon 5D Mk II con una pantalla de enfoque Eg-S en todas ellas para aumentar la precisión del enfoque manual. Solo uso obetivos fijos de la serie L de Canon y son una auténtica maravilla para enfocar manualmente. No suelo usar el enfoque automático con esas cámaras. El enfoque manual, junto con la exposición manual son las herramientas que te permiten tener un control absoluto sobre tu trabajo y el resultado. El proceso entero es responsabilidad del fotógrafo. Si tu trabajo no es bueno, no puedes culpar a tus herramientas, y si es bueno, tienes algo de lo que estar orgulloso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;What are your thoughts about manual focus?&lt;br /&gt;and AF?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;I prefer MF as it allows me to focus anywhere on the screen. With AF, it is always a struggle to focus and recompose, you loose the moment as you move the camera around from your focus point to your ideal composition. The Hasselblad of course is only MF, and for it I have installed a custom Maxwell focus screen which pops in and out of focus much better than the Accute-Matte screens made for the camera. In my commercial work I use Canon 5D MkII cameras that have installed in them the Eg-S focus screens to facilitate MF. I use only fast L primes with the Canon and they are a true pleasure to focus manually. I hardly ever use the AF with those cameras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, manual focus, along with manual exposure is all about being in total control of your craft. The entire process is the responsibility of the photographer. If you fail, you have no technology to blame, and if you succeed in making a good photograph, then you have something to be proud of. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/2136709131/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2420/2136709131_06e3e14176.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/3731461597/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3497/3731461597_f4030077b4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Podrías contarnos el proceso que haces con tus negativos?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uso exclusivamente Fujicolor Pro 800z y revelo los negativos en un laboratorio comercial. Hago hojas de contacto con un scanner epson 1680 y los escaneados finales con un Imacon X1. Trato de capturar el mayor rango tonal del negativo en el primer escaneado. Y de la imagen escaneada solo proceso como lo haria en el cuarto oscuro, ningún truco digital, sobreexponer y subexponer, corrección de color, ajuste tonal y limpiar pequeñas manchas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Could you elaborate a little about how you process your&lt;br /&gt;negatives?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;I shoot only Fujicolor Pro 800z and have it commercially processed. I make contact sheets on an Epson 1680 flatbed scanner, and my final scans on an Imacon X1. I do my best to capture the entire tonal range on the film in the initial scan. And to the scanned image, I only do what I could normally do in a traditional wet darkroom, no digital tricks, just burning, dodging, color correction, tonal adjustments, and spotting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/325518773/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/138/325518773_ae53db42e1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Cuando digital y cuando analógico?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digital para trabajo comercial y película para mi trabajo personal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;When digital and when film?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Digital is for clients and film is for my personal work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recuerdas tu primera cámara? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olympus OM-1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you remember your first camera?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;An Olympus OM-1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Recuerdas la primera vez que te gustó una de tus fotografías? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le pedí prestada una voigtlander vito a mi tío y la usé para fotografíar el patio trasero de mi casa que tenía una manguera y unos juguetes tirados por ahí, la luz era suave, acababa de llover y el color estaba muy saturado. Me gustó y no se porqué.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Do you remember the first time you liked one of your&lt;br /&gt;pictures?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;I had borrowed my uncle's Voigtlander Vito and made a photograph of my back yard that had a hose and toys strewn about, the light was soft as it had just rained and the color was very saturated. I liked it and I didn't know why.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Te gusta hacia donde va la fotografía?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No estoy seguro hacia donde va. La única constante es el cambio. Durante muchos años, estilos y técnicas han ido y venido. Lo único que sé, es que aquello que está de moda en un momento dado, no es lo que estoy interesado en buscar. Llevo haciendo fotos 30 años y la manera en que veo el mundo y la manera en que creo imágenes está definida. Mis influencias fotográficas son de hace mucho y hoy los nuevos fotógrafos buscan influencias en nuevos artistas, así ha sido siempre y así será. Estoy trabajando en un proyecto que abarcará toda mi vida en la fotografía. Para mí es mas importante ser honesto y auténtico con mi trabajo que en perseguir cualquier tendencia que se ponga de moda en un momento dado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Do you like where photography is going?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;I'm not sure where photography is going. The one constant in photography is change. For may years styles and techniques have slipped in and out of fashion. All I do know is that is whatever seems popular at any given moment is usually not what I'm interested in pursuing. I've been shooting for over 30 years now, and the way I see the world and the way I prefer to make images is set. My photographic influences come from long ago, and today, younger photographers are influenced by newer artists and that is just the way it is, and always will be. I'm working on a body of work that will encompass my life in photography. It is more important for me to be authentic and honest with what I do rather than chase whatever trends come along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/2210273244/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2234/2210273244_2bcb05f45c.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/1418111108/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1027/1418111108_ae4ff0c374.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;A nivel personal, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;tienes alguna ciudad o lugar favorito para fotografíar?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si tengo suficiente luz, hay gente y tengo una cámara, ese es mi sitio preferido para fotografiar. Si es cierto que prefiero estar rodeado de gente o en lugares que aparenten ser mas organicos menos artificiosos.También he descubierto que trabajar de forma abierta y directa, (llevo una cámara grande y no trato de ocultar el hecho de que esté haciendo una foto) y sonreir después de hacer la foto, me ayuda a que los sujetos que fotografío no tengan porqué sospechar de mí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;On a purely personal note, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;do you have a favourite city or&lt;br /&gt;place for a photo-tour, some streets, some styles?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;My feeling is that where ever I am, camera in hand, where there are people and sufficient light, is a good place to make photographs. I do find that I prefer to be around people and in or around places that come across as more organic and less contrived. I also find that working in a way that is open and direct, I carry a big camera and do not try to hide that I am making photographs, and to smile after taking a photo, to be a great way to keep people from feeling suspicious about my taking their photograph.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/2725344329/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/2725344329_4eac868081.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He visto que has tenido la oportunidad de fotografiar a &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Bruce Gil&lt;/span&gt;den de Magnun, dejanos copiar un extracto de lo que cuentas sobre esta foto en flickr. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"salía del metro y le vi de espaldas, un flash en la mano izquierda a unos 60 centímetros de la cara de alguien, se disparó el flash y supe que era él.

I had never seen him, or a&lt;br /&gt;photo of him, just knew who he was by how he was shooting. "&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepeters/311650106/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/116/311650106_6dbd33d9a4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Que piensas de Bruce y su estilo al disparar?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi encuentro con Bruce Gilden duró unos 15 minutos, charlamos sobre los cambios que ha visto el negocio de la fotografía. Fue cordial y abierto, como alguien con quién disfrutarías pasando el tiempo. También he visto videos sobre él y conozco bien su trabajo. Creo que su trabajo es únicamente suyo y que es una consecuencia directa de quién es y de dónde viene. Me gusta y respeto su trabajo y la manera en que lo hace, creo que está creando un trabajo que resistirá la prueba del tiempo. De todas formas, yo nunca podría disparar como él.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;What do you think of Bruce and his shooting style?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;My interaction with Bruce Gilden lasted about 15 minutes, we had a chat about how the photography business has changed so much. He was friendly and open, like someone you would enjoy spending time with. I have also seen a number of videos about him, and know his work quite well. I feel that Bruce's work and style is uniquely his own and that it is a natural outgrowth of where he comes from and who he is. I like and respect what he does and how he does it and believe that he is creating an important body of work that will stand the test of time. However, I could never shoot like Bruce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Elige 5 fotografos/as de flickr que creas que hacen un gran trabajo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Choose 5 photographers from flickr that you think are doing&lt;br /&gt;stuff you like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/urbanphotos/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/12/buddyicons/34767277@N00.jpg?1133572120#34767277@N00" /&gt;

Uno de mis favoritos es una definición de un fotógrafo al que perdí la pista. No se de donde la saqué, solo se que no es mía. "Un fotógrafo es alguien que elije que parte del mundo merece la pena ser conservado en una fotografía".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;We all have mitic sentences that we like to repeat to ourselves as if that particular mantra would take us closer to a fotographic nirvana. One of my favourites is one that i lost track as to who said it, i just know is not mine. "A photographer is someone that decides what part of the world is worth of being captured in a photograph".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Cuando vas por la calle, tienes 360º de libertad para mirar, tu punto de vista lo abarca todo, de todo eso que ves ¿que parte merece atrapar en los límites de un negativo? Esa decisión es importante, no se puede tomar a la ligera, no vale disparar a discreción. Tiene que haber intención. La calle es la mejor escuela, literalmente. Solo observando la vida se puede desarrollar criterio sobre que mensaje queremos transmitir. Capturar el momento, estar ahí, presenciar lo aleatorio, lo efímero, ser testigo de lo mejor y lo peor, todo está ahí para ser atrapado pero mas te vale estar mirando donde debes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;When you wonder through the streets you have 360º of freedom to look at, you cover everything, from all that you see ¿what would you capture inside the boundaries of a negative? It´s an important decission, it must not be taken lightly. You gotta have intention. The street is the best school, literaly. Only by observing life you can grow the discerning capabilities about the message you are trying to portray. Capturing the moment, being there, witness the random, the ephemeral, watch the best and the worse, everything is there to be captured but you better be looking where you´re suposed to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una acción no es solamente una acción, forma parte de un contexto de causas y efectos, una persona no es solo una persona, forma parte de una circunstancia temporal y social, nada en la vida tiene solo una dimensión, cuando se consigue retratar eso, estamos ante un milagro de la comunicación. Con una foto podemos decirle a alguien "mira, el mundo puede ser realmente maravilloso", malgastar esa capacidad de comunicación debería acojonar a cualquiera que coja una cámara. Pero no debemos dejarnos llevar por el miedo, si nuestra aproximación a ese problema, al de capturar un instante del mundo es honesta, sin una mirada violenta pero inquisitiva, sin prejuicios pero comprometida, sin tonterías pero tratándo de ir mas allá, entonces tu trabajo está hecho. Nadie te puede reprochar nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;An action is not only an action, it´s part of a context of causes and effects, a man is not just a man, it´s part of a temporal and social circumstance, nothing in life is only one dimension, when you can get that in a picture, you´re witnessing a miracle in human comunication. With a picture w can tell anybody "look, the world can be really wonderful". Wasting that comunication ability should freak the crap out of anybody who picks up a camera. But we must not let ourselves be carried away by fear, if you approach the problem of capturing an instant in a honest way, with an inquisitive look but without violence, without compromise but stating a point of view, without bullshit but trying to go beyond, then your work is done. No one can blame you of anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No hay foto buena y foto mala, solo foto. Se pueden distinguir miles de fotografías, sobre todo en el circuito comercial que se pueden juzgar en base a una serie de criterios definidos sobre calidad técnica. Además existen criterios sobre todo en la fotografía publicitaria, que si bien se refieren a cuestiones intangibles, se pueden valorar de forma precisa por ejemplo lo bien o mal que se transmite cierto mensaje. Pero luego está la otra fotografía, aquella que no se puede definir en términos de bien y mal, una fotografía que no cabe dentro de una definición tan burda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;There is no such thing as a good or bad picture. There are pictures that can be measured by certain standards, mesurable ones about image quality and technical provess. There are even intangible concepts that can be measured to a certain extent, like the level of succes in transmiting certain message. But then, there´s the other photography, the one that can´t be defined in terms of good and bad, a photography that doesn´t fit in the confines of such simple and rude definition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esa fotografía no te pertenece, te la da la vida si sales a su encuentro. Está ahí para todo el mundo, cualquiera puede ser fotógrafo y captar una parte del mundo que merece la pena recordar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;That kind of photography is not yours, life provides it for you if you go out to meet her. It´s there for everybody to see, anybody can be a photographer and capture a part of the world that we want to remember.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3434702742682574919-163523259619079913?l=www.enfoquemanual.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/feeds/163523259619079913/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/tengo-un-amigo-que-dice-ii.html#comment-form' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/163523259619079913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/163523259619079913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/tengo-un-amigo-que-dice-ii.html' title='TENGO UN AMIGO QUE DICE II'/><author><name>Nacho Pello</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12539557021276706331</uri><email>nachou@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='16845372480842594122'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434702742682574919.post-525939680477898379</id><published>2009-09-07T12:42:00.027+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T08:02:47.400+02:00</updated><title type='text'>LA FOTO ESTA AHI FUERA</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/loomax/3184337725/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3257/3184337725_e49b36bd1c.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Por &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/loomax/" target="_blank"&gt;* Loomax *&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#666666;"&gt;La foto está ahi fuera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;esperandome, esperandote...&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; (como decía &lt;a href="http://www.edwardolive.info/" target="_blank"&gt;edward&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;The Picture is out there&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;waiting for me, waiting for you ... ...&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; (like &lt;a href="http://www.edwardolive.info/" target="_blank"&gt;edward&lt;/a&gt; says)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tu mejor foto puede estar allí, en esa esquina, en ese bar, en ese instante en que la luz decidió ponerse guapa y regalarte un destello. Por eso esta última temporada no salgo de casa sin la cámara, pero sé que hay momentos en los que uno se desanima, se le quita el deseo de afotar. Eso está muy bien, descansar, reponer pilas, para despues insentivarse y volver a salir.&lt;br /&gt;Por eso hago esta entrada.&lt;br /&gt;Hay muchísimos momentos en los que veo un fotón y no puedo hacerla... porque no llevo la camara a cuestas, porque la camara no esta lista, porque llevo prisas, porque me da corte, porque la situacion no es acorde, como a veces en el autobus o en un restaurant...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Your best picture is right there, in that corner, in that bar, in that moment in time where light decided to be vain and gives you a wink and a smile. That´s why i never leave the house without my camera. There are times where you are down, the drive to take pictures slows down a bit. But that´s allright, rest, recharge batteries, search for new inspiration, and have at it again.&lt;br /&gt;That´s the reason for this post.&lt;br /&gt;There are lots of times that i see photos but i can´t make them....because i don´t have my camera with me, because the camera is not ready, cuz i´m in a hurry, because i´m shy, because it´s not polite, like the bus or a restaurant....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Ayer llovió, estaba en la calle, entramos a hacer la compra y al salir la lluvia habia parado, atardecer, suelo mojado lleno de reflejos y contrastes, las nubes tenian una tonalidad amarillenta pastel y el sol estaba rasante y muy anaranjado. Llevaba la camara, pero también la compra, sin contar que se me hacia tarde, llevaba prisa, tenia que estar en casa a una hora en concreto.&lt;br /&gt;Deje de pensar en la camara y empezé a mirar que es lo que hubiese fotografiado. Y comenzaron a salir fotos a cascoporro de mi imaginación.&lt;br /&gt;Una en concreto era especial, un chaval a las puertas de un gran almacen, con el uniforme, en su descanso, un cigarro en la mano, en la otra el movil, apoyado sobre su hombro en la pared, conversando por el telefono con expresiones de todo tipo, con el sol dandole de lleno de un lateral, el relleno de la luz difusa del cielo amarillento y con la superficie del suelo humedecida por la anterior lluvia ...Fotón. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Going shopping yesterday, we caught a downpour, but it stopped when we got out. Dawn, wet floors all over the place, full of reflectons and contrasts, the clouds where light yellow and the sun was low and red. I had the camera with me but also my groceries bag, i was already late so i was walking as fast as i could, i had to be at home at a certain time. I stopped thinking about the camera and started to look at things i would have take a picture of. Suddenly my buffer was red hot with all the pictures i saw in my head. There was a really special one, a kid at the door of a mall, with his working uniform, taking a break, cigarrette in one hand, cellular in the other, leaning against the wall resting on his shoulder, talking over the phone making all kinds of expressions and gestures, sun hitting him on the side, yellow fill light from the clouded sky and the wet sidewalk by the previous rain........click!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Para que os cuento esto si no hice la foto ?&lt;br /&gt;Pues porque las fotos estan allí, esperando ser hechas y no sabes cuando se van a cruzar los planetas para que des con ella.&lt;br /&gt;A veces uno se frustra si sale y vuelve sin presa, por eso lo ideal es ir sin espectativas, en el trayecto al y del trabajo, los paseos, compromisos, cualquier ocasión que nos oblige a desplazarnos es buena oportunidad, si se da muy bien y si no también, todo llega, solo hay que estar con los ojos abiertos ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;¿Why tell you this if i didn´t take the picture?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Because the photo is there, waiting to be taken and you don´t know when the planets will align so you can take it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Frustration ensues if you go out hunting and come back empty-handed, that´s why you have to keep expectations low, on your daily commute, taking a walk, social gatherings of any kind, any event that forces us to go somewhere is an oportunity, there is no obligation, so it doesn´t matter if you get something or not. It will come, you just gotta keep your eyes open....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os voy a dejar una serie de momentos para inspiraros, momentos que no fueron planificados, que estaban allí, acontecimientos aleatorios que suceden a la distancia adecuada de nuestro objetivo para ser capturados... instantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#666666;"&gt;Cuando veo estos fotones pienso, joder, como me hubiese gustado ser yo quién estuviese alli en ese preciso momento!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;I´ll leave you with a series of moments to inspire yourselves, unplanned moments, that where there (and would have been there even if no picture was taken), random momments that happen at the right distance of our lens to be captured....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaxting/2681824222/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3260/2681824222_c29c244094.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Por &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/jaxting" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Jaxting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meblob/3771986724" target="'_"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2454/3771986724_89e6a3634b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Por &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meblob/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Jim Blob Blann&lt;/span&gt;

Nada de lo que vais a leer se me ha ocurrido a mí y si no es por foros como &lt;a href="http://www.dyxum.com/" target="_blank"&gt;dyxum&lt;/a&gt; y gente como &lt;a href="http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/topic29573.html"&gt;James Lao&lt;/a&gt;, nada de ésto sería posible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como muchos otros, yo sabía de la existencia de algo que eran objetivos de enfoque manual, empecé con una &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenit_(camera)" target="_blank"&gt;zenith 122&lt;/a&gt;, y mi padre me dejaba usar de vez en cuando una &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_A-1" target="_blank"&gt;canon A-1&lt;/a&gt;. Pero como suele ocurrir, hay una asociación de ideas (enfoque manual-digital) que no se te ocurre hacer hasta que no te la dicen. Así que piqué el anzuelo y me dispuse a buscar un objetivo en ebay que cumpliera mis requisitos. Y lo encontré&lt;br /&gt;Pues que decir, una joyita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Well, what can I say, it´s a jewelry piece. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Let´s begin givin the caesar what it´s rightfully his. Nothing of what you see here is my idea, thanks to forums like dyxum and people like James Lao, nothing would be possible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like many others, I knew about manual focus lenses, I began with a zenith 122 and my father would let me use his canon A-1. But, as it usually happens, there are some mental connections (AF-digital) that doesn´t come to you until someone shines a light for you. So, I bit the bullet and began my quest in search for an ebay lens that would fit my needs. And I found it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi idea ha sido siempre que algún día tendré una cámara Full Frame (gracias Sony por la A850!)por lo que cuando busco un objetivo siempre lo hago con esa idea en mente, por suerte, todo lo que sea enfoque manual será bastante antiguo y por defecto estarán diseñadas en base al formato 35mm. Lo único que sabía era que buscaba un objetivo de retrato o un tele corto, lo mas luminoso posible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;My idea has always been to end up with a full frame camera (thanks sony for the A850!) so when I´m looking to buy a lens I keep that in mind. Luckily, everything thats manual focus is usually very old so they are designed for full frame coverage by default. The only thing I knew was that I wanted a long portrait or short tele, the fastest available. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y entonces lo ví, una oferta 100€ mas barata que la siguiente por un &lt;a href="http://m42.artlimited.net/lens_detail.php?lid=48" target="_blank"&gt;200 f/2.8 de Zeiss&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;And then I saw it, a 100€ cheaper offer than the next one for a 200 f/2.8 Zeiss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvgfoto/3214502079/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 512px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 801px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3496/3214502079_94580ba4f1_o.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Según llegó a casa, era justo lo que imaginaba. Tiene mas años que yo y funciona como un reloj, todas las juntas tienen resistencia pero son progresivas, no hay salto inicial, el anillo de diafragma no tiene holguras y los "clicks!" son secos y metálicos, como debe ser. Después de 30 años.........estos alemanes......mira el estado de conservación de las láminas......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;As it arrived it was just what I was looking for. It´s older than me and works like a clock, every joint has resistance but are progressive, there´s no inicial "bump", the f-stop ring has no give and the "clicks!" are dry and metallic, how it should be. After 30 years.......damm with zee germans.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvgfoto/3214501937/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 768px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 620px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/3214501937_110626b00d_o.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la hora de montarlo en la sony, hay dos opciones, un adaptador M42-&gt;A-mount normal, permite usar el objetivo y la cámara en manual, nada mas. Y luego está la interesante, &lt;a href="http://eadpt.cn.webz.datasir.com/eadpen.htm"&gt;James Lao&lt;/a&gt;, fabrica un chip y lo monta en un anillo adaptador que permite especificar la lente que se usa y poder usar los modos de prioridad de apertura en la cámara y confirmación de foco usando el punto central, chachikesi, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;When you´re trying to use this lens on the Sony, you have two options, the standard M42-&gt; A-mount, lets you use the lens in full manual mode, nothing else. Then there´s the cool way, James Lao makes and adapts chips that let´s the camera identify focal range and aperture so you can use A mode in your camera and use the central spot for focus confirmation...not too shabby, huh?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es un bicho enorme, pesa 1.2 Kg. y no tiene anillo para trípode, la versión &lt;a href="http://shphoto.eu/bild/17230.jpg"&gt;pentacon six&lt;/a&gt;, siendo el mismo diseño óptico, si lleva un anillo para trípode lo que lo hace mas cómodo y seguro de trabajar pero también es verdad que va mas caro. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;It´s huge lens, weighing in 1.2Kg and has no tripod ring, the pentacon six, being the same optical design has one so it should be easier to use, but it goes for a bigger price on ebay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y que decir del resultado, es un zeiss, son 200mm y es realmente luminoso. Creo que las fotos hablan por si mismas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;And the results, well, it´s a Zeiss, it´s 200mm, and it´s really fast. I think the pictures speak for themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvgfoto/3672584659/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 333px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3416/3672584659_fbabf59128.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvgfoto/3532715021/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3371/3532715021_5f717cf30e.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3419498310_9ceb010ff7.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 280px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3543/3419498310_9ceb010ff7.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvgfoto/3344016433/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 264px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3356/3344016433_bb44a4ce55_o.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvgfoto/3858794530/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 234px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2676/3858794530_67a391f4bb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El uso diario es peculiar, necesitas acostumbrarte al peso y lleva tiempo. Pero lo que hace de éste objetivo una bestia particular es que tiene 270º de giro en el anillo de enfoque. Hay que entrenar el uso rápido del anillo de enfoque al mismo tiempo que lo sujetamos de manera firme. No soy partidario de usar una focal tan larga para fotografíar gente en la calle pero si me gusta para sacar paisaje urbano. El juego entre las grandes avenidas y la focal tan larga permite buscar y encontrar encuadres muy interesantes, sobre todo por la noche. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The everyday use is unique, you need to get used to the weight and that takes time. But what makes this lens a particular beast is the 270º degree turn that the focus ring has. You have to train the quick use of the focus ring at the same time you hold it firmly while following your subject. I´m not a fan of such focal lenghts for street photography but it´s great for urban landscaping. The play between long avenues and the long focal lenght let´s you find very interesting frames, mostly at night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al ser tan luminoso y tener tanto radio de giro en el enfoque, ayuda muchísimo tener la capacidad de confirmar el foco, la profundidad de campo es muy fina y el mínimo giro en el anillo significa un salto de distancia importante en la escena por lo que podemos perder el foco rápidamente. Enfocar y reencuadrar se vuelve una constante, lo mismo que el preenfoque (cuando sabe que el sujeto de interés va a pasar por un sitio concreto, enfocas al sitio y esperas que el sujeto pase por dicho punto). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Being so fast and having such a long turn on the focus ring, the DoF is really thin and the slightest touch in the focus ring means a big jump in your scence so it´s easy to loose focus quickly. Focusing and recomposing becomes a constan, so as pre-focus (when you can predict where your subject of interest it´s going to be, focus at that point and wait for it).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una vez que has superado el proceso de adaptación el objetivo te regala todo lo que lleva dentro. Cuando has enfocado bien, has expuesto de manera correcta y has encontrado un encuadre interesante, el zeiss se encarga de devolverte una imagen nítida, de color vibrante, con caracter. Es una delicia jugar en el revelado con los colores del zeiss, tienes mucho margen para llevarlos hacia donde quieras. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Once you go through the particular boot-camp this lens demands, it then gives you everything it has and then some more. When you have a focused right, expose as you should and find an interesting frame, the Zeiss takes on the job from there and gives you a tack sharp, vibrant, colorful, characteristic image. It´s a joy working with the RAW´s from this lens, the colors have a huge range and you can play with them any way you like.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3434702742682574919-3859323611486120846?l=www.enfoquemanual.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/feeds/3859323611486120846/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/carl-zeiss-jenna-200-f28-mc.html#comment-form' title='5 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/3859323611486120846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/3859323611486120846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/carl-zeiss-jenna-200-f28-mc.html' title='Carl Zeiss Jenna 200 f/2.8 MC'/><author><name>mvg_foto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16027721724474789485</uri><email>mvg.foto@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10620488025744098590'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434702742682574919.post-4582686336148157032</id><published>2009-09-02T11:18:00.036+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T08:04:41.189+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fotografía'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='foto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manual focus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='enfoque manual'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mvgfoto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nachou'/><title type='text'>TENGO UN AMIGO QUE DICE</title><content type='html'>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"&gt;"Tengo un amigo que dice"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; es el titulo de una serie de entradas que iremos publicando...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"&gt;¿ De que se trata ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;pues se trata de los mensajes que me envia un colaborador que no quiere salir del anonimato, vamos ... que no es mi alter ego ni nada parecido, simplemente es alguien del mundillo de la fotografía, que tiene grandes opiniones pero pocos de pelos en la lengua.&lt;br /&gt;Veremos a ver que nos comenta este individuo misterioso&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aqui os relato lo primero que me ha ido comentando... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(ya luego iré poniendo sus textos sin editar)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tengo un amigo que dice que &lt;a href="http://www.anseladams.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ansell adams&lt;/a&gt; es un bandarra que no salía del cuarto oscuro, que &lt;a href="http://www.helmutnewton.com/" target="_blank"&gt;helmut newton&lt;/a&gt; era un salido, que &lt;a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/archive/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.PhotographerDetail_VPage&amp;amp;l1=0&amp;amp;pid=2K7O3R14YQNW&amp;amp;nm=Robert%20Capa" target="'_"&gt;robert capa&lt;/a&gt; un suicida, que &lt;a href="http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;chase jarvis&lt;/a&gt; seguro que tiene un focus tuneao, que &lt;a href="http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;joe mcnally&lt;/a&gt; no puede ser tan buena persona, que &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tommyoshima/" target="_blank"&gt;tommy oshima&lt;/a&gt; es un superordenador japonés, que &lt;a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ken rockwell&lt;/a&gt; es un gilipollas que tiene razón, que &lt;a href="http://www.scottkelby.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Scott Kelby&lt;/a&gt; debería dejar de andar y dedicarse a la fotografía, que &lt;a href="http://www.fotomaf.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;mauro fuentes&lt;/a&gt; es un pijo recalcitrante, que &lt;a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;david hobby&lt;/a&gt; controla hasta la puerta del garaje con unos pocket wizard (se rumoréa que hasta los usa con su mujer en la intimidad del dormitorio pero todavía no ha trascendido para qué...........ni porqué, y lo mas importante, cómo david?

Todo lo demás, lo que rodea a esos dos elementos, los cristales del objetivo, el obturador, filtros de densidad neutras y demás vainas, son solo obstaculos entre la luz en su forma completa y el soporte que la captura. Esos obstaculos, deforman, desvían, obstaculizan el trayecto que la luz se empeña en seguir, no solo eso, el mismo impacto de la luz contra el dispositivo capturador acaba por esculpir la forma en que se transmite la información.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;He says that if you follow the principle of reducing a complex problem to smaller simpler parts, if you break down photography to the basic elements, you get only two, light and a device to capture it. Everything else surrounding those two elements, is just for show or in the way of the light. Those things (the lens, the shutter, the iris, neutral density filters and sh*t like that) bend and deform the path that the light is so stubbornly trying to follow, not only that, the very impact of the light with the capturing device determines the way the information is transmitted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ademas dice que una vez que hemos capturado la luz, todavía estamos lejos de poder mostrar un resultado, dependiendo del soporte al que vaya destinada esa fotografía, seguiremos una serie de procesos que si bien no deforman, ni desvían, ni obstaculizan el trayecto de la luz... si que modulan, limitan, amplían, armonizan, colorizan y contrastan la apariencia de la luz capturada. Una vez completados esos procesos y la fotografía está en su soporte definitivo, solo entonces, podremos analizar qué características de los elementos que se interponen en el camino de la luz generan qué resultado.&lt;br /&gt;Me dijo que las cuestiones sobre la luz vendrán después, que de momento vamos a hablar de cámaras y nos lo quitamos de enmedio. Que sí, que semos unos frikis a los que nos gustan los aparatos, que mataríamos por tener la hasselblad que fue a la luna, que nunca se tienen demasiados objetivos, que es fundamental leer en dpreview el último rumor sobre el nuevo objetivo que nunca nos compraremos (porque encima es de una marca distinta de la que utilizamos), pero amigos, hay que reconocerlo, ésa es la parte facil... la cámara.&lt;br /&gt;Saber usar una cámara y decidir cual queremos y para que, es facil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;He also says that once we have captured the light, we are still a long way away from being able to show some kind of result, depending on the media that the photo will be displayed, we follow some procedures that don´t deform or bend the light but modulate, enhance, diminish, armonize, colorize and contrast the appearance of it. Once we are through with this processes and the photo is in it´s intended format, only then, we will be able to indentify which characteristics from the elements that get in the way of the light generates certain results. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;He also told me that stuff about light will come later, that we are going to talk fisrt about gear to take it out of the way. Yeah, we are freaks, we are geargheads, we would kill for the hassy that went to the moon, that there´s no such thing as one lens too many, that is crucial that we read about the last rumor about some lens that we will never buy (because it´s not even for your camera), but buddy, face it, that´s the easy part....the camera. Knowing how a camera is use and decide which one we haver and for what, its easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo jodido es la fotografía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The fucked up part is photography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otra cosa que siempre me dice es que una de las mejores herramientas que puedes usar para ser mejor fotógrafo es desarrollar la capacidad de realizar ingeniería inversa en cualquier fotografía.&lt;br /&gt;Esta capacidad se puede y se debe desarrollar, pero solo será util si el planteamiento es el correcto, para ello hay que librarse del miedo.&lt;br /&gt;Pero eso dice que me lo cuenta otro día, que si no nos liamos.Empezó diciendo que, por primera vez en la historia, se da una situación inaudita que desde luego no se producía hace 15 años, "es imposible comprar una cámara mala". Dice que ya me lo contará...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;Another thing he usually says is that I shoul train my reverse engineering skills, that it may very well be the only real tool a photogapher has to learn. That skill can be and must be trained, thoroughly, but it will only be useful if the intention is right, for that, we must conquer fear. But he says that he will tell me about it later. He started by saying that, for the first time in history it´s impossible to buy a bad camera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No se que os parecen los comentarios de éste amigo, pero lo que queda claro, es que es gracioso, habla sin tapujos, tiene conocimientos y es lo que necesitaba este blog, asique yo me quedo con él y voy a insistirle que envie material periódicamente, al menos para echarnos unas risas, mientras aprendemos otro poco...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3434702742682574919-4582686336148157032?l=www.enfoquemanual.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/feeds/4582686336148157032/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/tengo-un-amigo-que-dice.html#comment-form' title='6 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/4582686336148157032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3434702742682574919/posts/default/4582686336148157032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.enfoquemanual.com/2009/09/tengo-un-amigo-que-dice.html' title='TENGO UN AMIGO QUE DICE'/><author><name>Nacho Pello</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12539557021276706331</uri><email>nachou@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='16845372480842594122'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
