I thought I’d put a quick little video up on the blog showing how you can roundtrip back and forth between both apps via XML. If you have an FCP 7 project and want to use Premiere or After Effects – you can do so in seconds. If you then want to send that project back to FCP 7 and grade it in Color for example – again, you can do so with a few keystrokes via XML. I didn’t know this until a few months ago, and I also wasn’t aware of how similar both editors are to one another. Doing a basic with either tool is extremely similar in fact – Premiere even comes with both FCP and AVID keystroke sets to make those going back and forth more “at home.” The video below serves as a quick intro to Premiere as well.
My post on google’s new search by image feature (Google Announces New Image Search) had a few photographers wondering what to do after discovering images of theirs had been used thousands of times online. You can refer back to the primer called Photograph
also found a post on this topic over on Jeremy Nicholl’s Russian Photo’s Blog called: The 10 Rules Of US Copyright Infringement. In that post he tells how in January of this year he found one of his photos on the website of a major US media company and he hired Barbara Hoffman of the Hoffman Law Firm to handle the matter. The outcome was a five figure settlement for a 468 pixel wide image used illegally on a site he’d never heard of
Last year, Waxy released Kind of Bloop, a chiptunes tribute to Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue. He meticulously cleared all the samples on the album, and released it for $5 (backers of his Kicksta…
He believed and believes that it is fair use — a transformative use with minimal taking that doesn’t harm the market for the original, produced to comment on the original. Jay Maisel, the photographer who shot the original, disagreed, and sued Waxy for $150,000 per download, plus $25,000. Waxy ended up settling for $32,500, even though he believes he’s in the right — he couldn’t afford to defend himself in court. He’s written an excellent post on copyright, fair use, and the way that the system fails to protect the people who are supposed to get an exception to copyright

After buying his first digital camera, Ren Ng tried to snap a shot of a family friend’s vivacious 5-year-old daughter. Like many young, active children, it was incredibly difficult to focus the image properly and capture her fleeting smile in just the right way.
And then it came to him — what if you could take a picture, and then adjust the focus later?
I decided to put together a list of things that I thought made PhotoShelter cool, unique, special, different – and then built a presentation around it.
I was surprised by the reaction it got. It turns out, the smart people who were running the SB3 seminar knew exactly what they were talking about. A huge number of people attended each presentation in every city, enthusiastically firing off questions as I made my way through my list of favorite things.
In this installment of my ever-sporadic photo column, I simply wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thanks to all the wonderful people I had the good fortune to come across at LOOK3; thanks to everyone at my dear friends Kathleen and Austin’s wedding this past weekend for being so open and warm; thanks to all of you I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with as of late. I couldn’t be more thankful for my lady, my family, my pets and all the wonderful people in my life for lifting me up even in troubled times. If you made it this far through my sappy rant, then please take a moment to think about those you’re thankful for in your own life.
Solms, Germany (June 23, 2011) – Leica Camera AG and Magnum Photos announce the commencement of a series of technological and photographic projects, building upon almost a century’s worth of shared history between two world-renowned photographic institut
In addition to supporting individual projects, Leica and Magnum will produce new essays in order to gain knowledge and insight from the experience of Magnum photographers working in the field with the latest Leica equipment. The field reports from Magnum photographers will make a significant contribution to the comprehensive user requirements analyses already performed by Leica, assisting in the mutual aim of developing the Leica product portfolio to ensure that products continue to meet the needs of photographers around the world.
On Tuesday, 21 June Leica Camera and Magnum Photos gathered distinguished guests at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild in Paris. The event began with a panel discussion entitled “Crises and catastrophes in pictures. What justifiable role can photojournalism play in an age of camera phones, Twitter and Facebook?” Moderated by Samuel Kirszenbaum, the panel included Christopher Anderson, Vice President of Magnum Photos; Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, Head of Supervisory Board at Leica Camera AG; Magdalena Herrera, Director of Photography at GEO France; Nicolas Jimenez, Director of Photography at Le Monde; Dominic Nahr of Magnum Photos and Nassem Tarawnah a Jordanian blogger who writes for The Black Iris. Then Stefan Daniel, Director of Product Management at Leica Camera AG, debuted the new Leica M9-P camera (bit.ly/LeicaM9P) and the new Leica Super-Elmar-M 1: 3.4/21 mm ASPH. lens (bit.ly/LeicaSuperElmarM).
I stressed to the students that I wanted them to show me a side of Iraq that a tourist wouldn’t see, a side of Iraq that a western journalist couldn’t discover. I wanted them to show me their Iraq. And they did, beautifully.
Leica is working on its own mirrorless compact camera range, and it will be launched at Photokina in 2012. The news comes from Leica CEO Alfred Schopf, who spoke to UK magazine Amateur Photographer during an interview yesterday. Schopf was circumspect, bu
Brooklyn painter, street artist, and musician Dan Witz has a solo show opening at NYC’s Jonathan LeVine Gallery on June 30. The series of large-scale hyper-realistic figurative paintings is t…
Applying old master techniques, (Witz) achieves impressively convincing trompe l’oeil illusions of light, shadow and depth in his finely rendered portraits, landscapes and still lifes. The artist recently added digital media tools to his process (having previously used traditional projection methods). Combining old master techniques and digital technology, he photographs his subjects, composes in photoshop, prints an a-chromatic underpainting on canvas then glazes and scumbles over this foundation using traditional representational painting…
This week in the magazine, Vince Aletti writes about the Elliott Erwitt retrospective that “sprawls through the International Center of Photography” through August 28th. “It includes some of the wittiest and most popular images ever published,” Aletti writes, but adds that “this show has as much substance as charm. Erwitt’s genius is to keep both in constant play.” Here’s a selection.
“As a member of a society that views ideas of place as a central defining characteristic, second only to name and followed closely by profession, I have embarked on an exploration aimed at understanding the mythologies of place and subjective place-making.” – Jennifer Garza-Cuen, writing about Reno, Nevada
On Thursday, June 9, 2011, we had the pleasure of hosting a live judging of our 2011 Student Project Award that was open to the public at The Bridge Public Arts Initiative in Charlottesville, Virginia. Lead Judge Michael Wichita of the AARP Bulletin led a panel of Gillian Laub (Photographer), Larissa Leclair (Indie Photobook Library) and Molly Roberts (Smithsonian) through the difficult task of selecting one winner from our ten talented finalists. We are very fortunate that one of our finalists, Maddie McGarvey was secretly in the small audience, and when she was selected as the winner it was a very sweet moment. Maddie selected LUCEO photographer Kendrick Brinson (Atlanta) as her mentor.
We now know that the photographer was Franz Krieger, a native of Salzburg, Austria, who lived until 1993. And we know that the woman was Frieda Krieger, his wife. She was killed on Nov. 17, 1944 — as was their 2-year-old daughter, Heidrun — when America’s 15th Air Force bombed Salzburg.
Photographer Greg Miller goes after the truth in a different way. He studies his subjects, makes their acquaintance at state fairs, on gas station parking lots, at the drive-in. He figures out who they are and what they stand for. And then he frames them in way that illuminates something both essential and elusive at the same time. It’s like visual poetry
The City of Ft. Lauderdale agreed on Monday not to interfere with photographers taking pictures near the set of the film “Rock of Ages.” At an emergency hearing in state court, the NPPA joined the South Florida Gay News and the Society of Professional Jou
