Mystic Angkor

A place to be for travel photographers is - there is no doubt - the ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Here an impression of this mystical place.

Legendary Photographers - Bill Cunningham

Bill Cunningham who was one of the leaders turning fashion photography into its own branch of visual art died June 25th 2016 at age 87 in New York.

While fashion photography nowadays is a very composed and technical discipline Cunningham was focusing on how people stage fashion in the streets of New York in everyday life.

Classic Cameras

Classic vintage cameras come more and more en vogue nowadays.

Approximately two years ago I started working with old film cameras again. And I notice more and more that this becomes a real trend.

In the video below the colleagues from DigitalRev TV give a review on the Kodak Retina IIIC camera.
This camera has been introduced in 1954. It is a compact range finder camera which was designed with a lens system allowing to interchange the front elements of the lenses. It is an interesting piece of engineering.

On eBay this camera can be purchased at 100 to 300 US$ depending on conditions.

Lavender Season

Lavender Show - Pawel Uchorczak (500px)

As every year the image sharing platforms are filling up with lavender field photographs again.

While last year I went on a lavender photography field trip to the south of France myself, I am following the season this year through photo streams.

The colors are impressive. But, how much digital editing is behind those eye catching images?

I definitely have to go back there in season in order to better explore the color and light space.
