Wow. Crazy to think these jet pilot helmets are drawings not photographs.

The beautiful charcoal drawings of Robert Longo.
This is just plain freaky. Watch the slide show of A list celebrities seem for a tiny brief fraction of a second look freakish.
The effect has something to do with showing two pictures at a time with a black gap between those two pictures. For some reason the brain misjudges what the faces actually look like. Though to be honest Jim Carey picture here looks freakish enough on it’s own. :)
Kodak are trying to join the trend that software makers find themselves in now. Simply suing each other. Kodak were banking on their patents to see them through this difficult time and it seems it has back fired on them with a case being ruled out. Subsequently their shares dropped 25%. Bad time.
Amazing animal photography. I presume these aren’t wild animals. Happily wandering by a random photographer just sitting there.

Digging For Gold
Just going through a bunch of photos that got dumped on a pile to sort out. Don’t believe I’ve not even bothered touching them. Some intriguing ones there.
Hallelujah HDR actually done right 
I’ve seen so many that look freaky and surreal or they’ve ended up somehow making it look flat and dull. This one actually look bold and dramatic.
There’s something about the way movies look. People argue for ages what exactly it is but one fact that crops up is the fact that they’re shot at 24 frames per second and I agree. Those TVs which do some sort of interpolation between the frames to ramp up the frames per second always make movies at best look a little strange.
Now Peter Jackson has taken this a step sooner with filming The Hobbit at 48 fps. He has just shown a preview at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas and there has been complaints about it looking cheap. I hope this doesn’t come about. Along with IMAX cinemas converting to digital but only doing 4K loosing loads of information you get from shooting on IMAX film I hope this doesn’t catch on.
I might buy one if it’s dirt cheap. Why’s the battery on the front though???
This cardboard camera really works! It can shoot 40 photos and comes with a USB cord.
Ikea gave it away at a design expo in Milan, but there’s a chance they’ll be selling these in stores.

Multiple Tumblr Blogs Headache
I first created a Tumblr for my photography work but found it so good I wanted to use it personally as well. I created an addition Tumblr blog in the same account that I used for Neil Forshaw Photography and thought that was all sorted. It’s only after a few posts on my new personal Tumblr blog that I found the problem with creating the photography one first. Anything liked or reblogged would always say “neilforshawphotography reblogged this” even if I did it as my personal blog. The reason for this is because essentially the account is “neilforshawphotography” and the first Tumblr blog created is the “primary blog”. After checking the FAQs I find that I can’t switch the primary blog with the additional blog. I’m stuck with it.
The only thing to do is basically switch round which blog I use for which. unfortunately I couldn’t just edit which post belongs on which blog. Fortunately because I had only just started my personal one there was not much on there which wasn’t relevant to a photography blog so I just deleted those posts. All the stuff on my photography blog is still relevant to my personal one so I can leave that on there.
Everything older than this post used to be my personal stuff. Unfortunately stuff linked from other sites is just going to end up on the root of this blog now with a “post not found”. Not too much I can do to prevent that really. I’ve deleted the completely irrelevant posts though I’d thought I keep the pictures of my cat on anyway. Hey it’s still photography and everyone loves cats.
