I am a firm believer in the power of the tripod. Tripods let you do wonderful things. You can easily composite, take long exposures, do light painting, it is just an awesome tool. When it comes to video tripods are even more essential, at least if you want to take a static shot. But tripods […]

If a photo is worth 1000 words and a clip has 24 frames a second, how would you even rate an 8K timelapse? Videographer Martin Heck challenges the assumption that such a movie can be described with words at all (I vote no).

I know that after seeing The Force Awaken everybody wanted to travel to Jakku. Only problem is, it does not exist. Neither are Tatooine, Naboo and the rest of the planets of the Star Wars galaxy.

Humans 1 : statues 0. Looks like we are winning the battles against still objects. More so, we are killing those statues by taking selfies. Or at least this is the score at the latest battle between man and the 126-year-old statue of Portuguese king Dom Sebastiao. According to the New York post, the 24 year old, […]
