Episode 352 – Snake bites and plane crashes

This week, Sony’s 101MP sensor is 1.7x size of a 35mm sensor! Nice.
It was also discussed at dpreview.
The LensBaby 3-in-1 lens for mirrorless.
The photographer who was bitten by a black mamba… and got the shot.
Rakesh wrote to tell us about his failed attempt to scan some Australian currency and photoshop his mate’s face onto it.

Hi Bruce
I think you will be suitably impressed – I was going to do a image overlay of a friends’ face on the new $5 note This was the image I was going to use
And take a look at the message that Adobe came up with (attached)
That’s pretty impressive! I checked the metadata in lightroom and couldn’t see any copyright against it – so it must scan every image as it comes in!

Rob Coates wrote in; I suspect looking for a free pass to buy a new camera.
Adam sent us this link to a video of a great handheld steadycam,
and the story of this DIY slit-scan medium format camera.

Tony White told us about Booko, a site for comparing book and DVD prices,
and this video about On1’s RAW software.

Grant Black is pretty chuffed with his Lexar Image Rescue 5 software. Hopefully Grant, you’ll never need it again! 🙂

Glynn liked this portfolio of Pokemon player portraits.
Somebody decided to do a comparison between the Leica M9 and Iphone 7. We’re not sure WHY, nor why you would do it in the rain?
He also liked this portfolio of miniature scenes created and shot to look life-sized.
The photographer in question has his own site here.
Missing Scene, mise-en-scene. We don’t know how to pronounce it, but the story is here!
Also, for anyone who might be toying with the idea of going on one of Glynn’s photo tours, he’s generously just knocked US$500 off the Myanmar trip in November. Grab the details here and “get amongst it”!
