7D Test Footage from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

If your a tech geek like me, then you would of heard of all the buzz about canon’s new DSLR that just got released a month ago. It is capable of shooting 18mega pixel photos but more impressive is its HD video mode. You can film full HD 1080p and 720p. I just managed to get one of these lovely camera’s and it hasn’t left my side since. This is my first little test video and the quality and DOF (Depth of Field) is just amazing. I used the stock 18 – 135mm lens. Its not the best lens but it is still usable. I edited in After Effects and colour corrected the video as well as added bit of motion tracking just for fun.

I’m in the process of building a new portfolio webpage and adding new projects to my folio. This will all take some time and in the end everyone but mainly me will be better off because of it!

In the mean time here are some photos I took using the same process as my video “water colour”.

Astonishing LED, Laser, and Light Photography from Hack N Mod on Vimeo.

If you’ve ever attemped long exposure photography or “light writing” in any way shape or form, then you’ll understand how truly dedicated these people are to the art form. Check out the video and there website for more stunning photos.

We’ve seen some projects featuring how to draw with light using your camera’s exposure settings, but nothing compares to this.  This group goes by the name of Light Art Performance Photography and they use lasers, LEDs, illuminated body suits, sparklers and just about anything else which emits light to construct these incredible works of art.  We’ve compiled the video above to feature their work and the high-res version is worth watching as well.

You can see me adjusting the focus at the start of the video. The sharpness is really good for a DSLR that isn’t ment for shooting video! This is made possible through exploiting live view on the video camera. The software (link below) captures every frame from live view through usb from the camera stright to your computer at 848 x 560. This resolution is pretty good for a video camera that lets you change lenes and have complete control over iso and aperture.

Software can be found here: valexvir.narod.ru

A few quick iphone photos of the setup I used.

But the worst part is I just invested in an Canon EOS 450D about a month ago which is going strong and is a lovely camera but to be able to have all the glory of HD video and a HDMI output makes me rather jealous. I hope it’s not too soon for an upgrade.
