Creating a Macworld magazine cover
Thursday, August 13th, 2009Take a look at this amazing video, all steps of creating a macworld magazine cover (except printing). First the photographers do their job by setting up light and using a full frame camera to capture 2 iPhones 3Gs.

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Not long time ago I bought a Smena 8m soviet 35mm film camera. It was quite popular in the 70s. So I tested it with 2 films:
