Showreel Time!!

Yes its that time of year when you feel the urge to show the world what you have been working on by creating a showreel.... and then immediately hating every pixel of it! But i'm progressing and improving with every project so this makes me happy. Anyway enough babbling here is my Summer Showreel 2013.

Cinestyle for Nikon

550D (Cinestyle) vs D7000 (TassinFlat) part1 from Ulysse Tassin on Vimeo.

Shooting flat like the (Technicolor Cinestyle for Canon) on Nikon D5100 has been a curve I have wanted to get my hands on for a while. I found the (TassinFlat) curve today and im going to shoot soon to see what results I get. From what I have read on forums its seems the curve for me, but still needs a good testing, and gives me the excuse to use my camera. For anyone interested in the Curve and accompanying LUT for Apples Color CLICK HERE

Timm Suess- Chernobyl Photo Journal

I came across an outstanding  photograph collection from a photographer called Timm Suess during his trip to Chernobyl.

I'm a massive fan of this sort of photography showcasing decay, ruin, and nature reclaming back buildings and streets. It reminds me heavly of DEATHTOPIA a great book by photographer Shinichiro Korayashi in his photographic study of the deralict and dissused waste lands in Japan.

Timm Suess has captured a powerfull set of pictures with some great HDR work, I just felt compelled to share with you all. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I have, Here is the LINK-TimmSuess.com

Photography

So I have been getting to grips with my DSLR over the summer and I have had a good time getting of out to take some shots. The summer didn't really provide many rain free days (shock). But when the sun did show its face I headed of out with my camera to get some much needed practice.
