Thoughts, ramblings, finds, and other shenanigans by Gary Sheynkman

Amazing video of London. Daft Punk + 3328 images = awesome

 

 

All the credit for finding this little gem goes to Marsha Leveque from wejetset.

The video itself was created by David Hubert from Illuzions Production. You’ve likely seen his work before ;)

Turn on the HD feature, expand to full screen, turn up the volume and ENJOY!

If you haven’t heard, l like to take pictures.

I will be writing on both the creative and the tech side of the topic, but wanted to address the question I get asked everyday (no really…).

“Gary, what camera should I buy?”

The answer will be in 2 parts, faithful readers… but I am feeling generous and thus will include both parts in one post!

Part 1 of 2: the non SLR question.

“I want something that takes good pictures and I can carry around with me blah blah yada yada”

 

My Camera

My Camera

I am biased. I like Canon cameras. My standard answer ( then, now, and later) is: Think of a budget, subtract a 4gb SD card out of it (so you can be lazy like me and never erase pictures) and buy the best Canon SD series (also known as ELPH series) camera you can afford. They start up quickly. Take great pictures. Have all the toys you could want. I climbed a volcano with my SD870 tied by its string to my jacket. It still works. 

*one exception: if you plan on taking pictures underwater, in beer mugs, at college bars, in adverse climates etc I recommend the OlympusSW series. A good friend of mine actually has a photo set of pictures taken with the camera from inside a beer pitcher.
