Virgin Money App Online

Virgin Money App in use in the Edinburgh Lounge

I think all photographers have noticed decrease in full bleed newspaper adverts. Clients are simply going for more hard sell, less image branding. Today I’m doing more online stuff and recently I’ve been shooting for Virgin Money UK and their new app. I thing this is where we’re heading. In the next 10 years we’ll be seeing more online and less print. The print is not disappearing, but it will become more of a side product vs. the online media.

In 1995, David Carson wrote the book End of Print. Today we still have print, newspapers, magazines and books. It is just different experience we’re having

Olympus 35 RC – My favorite compact camera

Olympus 35RC Rangefinder Camera – Shot on Mamiya RZ ProII 67 with 65mm lens (Fuji Provia 400)

Olympus 35 RC is a great little camera I bought for few dollars on a flea market few years back

it’s one of the smallest 35 mm rangefinder with all manual settings plus automatic aperture settings. Cameraquest.com writes:

“The RC is packed with so many features, it reads like a photographer’s wish list, easily winning the “Most features in the Smallest Size” for this camera class”

and it truly is packed with feature: small, great lens, leaf shutter lens sync at all speed, shutterspeed and aperture visible in viewfinder, AE exposure lock, bright viewfinder, great with flash, off switch, battery test, pc connection, quiet shutter, self timer.

and, you get 40 frames on 36 exposure roll!!!

one downside: It use outdated Mercury 625 batteries but can easily be modified for modern 1.5V

now I’m just starting to wish Olympus will redesign this little beauty with digital sensor. the new pen is to plastic and has no optical viewfinder like Leica M9 and Fuji X-100

A great little digital Holga (Yashica)

Bernhard Kristinn — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:33:47 +0000

This is great, I love Holga. But I hate the scanning, driving down to the photo-lab to process and again to pick up.

The Yashica EZ F521 5mp digital camera has it all, even video. And with modification instruction from Peter Lueck you get the perfect Holga

and cost only around 100$. Check out Ebay

ohhhh, and it also works as a webcam;)
