3rd Recesky DIY TLR Film Developed

admin — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:31:00 +0000

Have been waiting a long time to develop this film, but since I moved out from Coimbra I took a while to find out a place to develop it. Finaly found a place, to develop it. This place is even better since they develop it in one hour and i don’t need to go back another day to get the developed film.
Seems that my Recesky is having a huge light leak, now I need to figure out if it’s a reflection from the lens of the like is coming from the sides. If it comes from the sides nothing like some old school lomo fix, black tape!!!!
Now here are some photos from this film. This film has photos from Lisbon, Torres Novas and Coimbra (Portugal).

Update: Just saw a comment on Flickr related to my problem that will probably help:
“light leaks from the front of the camera,with color film and B&W film produce white streaks . light leaks from the backside of color film will make orange/reddish streaks. you have a leak striking the front side of the film i believe.”

Hard & Pika

admin — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:31:09 +0000

Last night I was photographing a band called Hard & Pika at a local bar.
The band members are friends and family, and they asked me if I wouldn’t mind taking some photos of the gig.
Nothing much to say about this, but here are some of the photos of last night.

And here’s a small video I made while i was there. First time using the camera for video, only later I noticed I was zooming too much and that everything on screen wasn’t on video, subtle frame is subtle.

Watch this video on YouTube.

Famous Logos and How Much Did They Cost

admin — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:51:33 +0000

There are some logos that we see almost everyday and we recognize in a second, but do you ever stop to think about who designed them and how much did they cost?
Here are some examples.

The Twitter logo was designed by Simon Oxley in 2009 and had a $19 price tag.

The Nike logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1975. The price only included the logo design, which later has been refined but the original concept has been kept intact. The Nike logo had a $35 price tag.

The City of Melbourne logo was designed by Landor Associates in 2009 for $625,000.

The original Google logo was designed in 1998 by Sergey Brin, one of Google’s founders in Gimp. Later it has been fine-tuned several times, but the original concept was kept intact. Price tag: $0.

The BP logo was redesigned in 2008. British Petrol (BP) logo price tag: $211,000,000
