I may be offline for a couple of days while I move to a new apartment. For the next few days, I’ll have a new photo each day but no words to go with them, and no news.
Extended Dynamic Range @ Lugang
Craig August 9th, 2007
A subset of high-dynamic range (HDR) processing, Extended Dynamic Range allows you to apply the same processing techniques, but to a single image file, instead of a series of bracketed exposures as in HDR. Here’s a shot from Lugang using EDR processing.
Hasselblad Masters Awards 2008
Craig August 8th, 2007
The Hasselblad Masters Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the industry, each year celebrating the best in both established and rising photographic talent. Masters Awards are given in recognition of a photographer’s contribution to the art of photography and are judged on overall photographic ability, encompassing creativity, composition, conceptual strength, and technical skill. Past Masters include both renowned artists of international standing as well as promising newcomers in a wide range of fields and disciplines.
In the past, Hasselblad has awarded twelve separate Masters Awards each year, with an annual calendar presented featuring the winners’ work. In the past, submissions have been accepted only from Hasselblad users and no other photography was considered. As the world of photography has changed, so has Hasselblad as well, and so shall the Hasselblad Masters Awards.
Winners will receive the use of an H3D digital camera system for two periods during 2008. One period will be for use at the photographer’s discretion and the other will be devoted to the creation of images for this special Masters commemorative book. This book will feature pictorials showing the results of each winning photographer freely interpreting a given theme.
Applications for the 2008 Hasselblad Masters Awards are being accepted until November 1st, 2007. For more information, log on to http://www.hasselblad.com/masters.
