24 hours on top of the world

The island of La Palma was the destination of choice for director Mike Moloney and photographer John Hooper, who shot this 24-hour time-lapse near the IAC observatory, nearly 2400 metres above sea level. Featuring galaxies, a volcanic crater and abandoned telescope control rooms, it's part of a series that captures an entire day at different locations.Want to capture a stunning view of the night sky amidst an other-worldly landscape?
Moloney used a programmable camera head to create a 360-degree view of the area. But he ran into trouble at 4.30 am when a gust of wind blew over his camera rig, smashing the camera head. The rest of the time-lapse had to break free of the rotational format but still gives a creative take on the surroundings.

offiziellen Seite mit dem Trailer!
"The Bang Bang Club" - The Film
Der Film über den legendären „Bang Bang Club.“ Als der Fotograf Joao Silva 2010 schwer verletzt wurde (HIER gibt´s Infos dazu), ist zufälligerweise gerade der Film über die 4 Fotografen aus Südafrika erschienen. Nun wird er (erstmals?) beim derzeit stattfindenden Filmfestival SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL gezeigt (wahrscheinlich, so genau war das nicht zu verifizieren). Hier schon mal vorab der Trailer. Und jetzt die Presifrage: WER HOLT DEN FILM NACH ÖSTERREICH!
South Africa, 1994:
Nelson Mandela has just been released from prison
and tensions are steadily rising in the final
bloody months of apartheid. Tribal factions, backed
by the white government, wage bloody war on each
other and gunshots ring through the streets of
Soweto. In the middle of this are the Bang Bang
Club; four young white photojournalists who made
sure the world saw the carnage ripping through the
streets of their hometown. Based on true events,
this film is a harrowing exploration of heroism in
the face of violence.
The Bang Bang Club was a nickname for photographers
Greg Marinovich (Ryan Phillippe), Kevin Carter
(Taylor Kitsch), Ken Oosterbroek (Frank Rautenbach)
and Joao Silva (Neels Van Jaarsveld) because they
were always in the thick of the gunfire, or the
“bang-bang” as locals said. Witnessing the
injustices wrought by F.W. de Klerk’s lackeys, the
young men knew that the truth had to come out.
Fuelled by adrenaline and moral outrage, they
risked their lives to document the horrors of the
civil war that wracked the nation. With the help of
Robin (Malin Akerman), their no-nonsense photo
editor, their photos helped focus world attention
on the plight of South Africa and galvanize
international opinion to end apartheid. Greg
Marinovich and Kevin Carter each won a Pulitzer
Prize for their astonishing photojournalism, but
the horrors they witnessed took a devastating toll.
They also found themselves the object of ire among
many black South Africans, who resented the fact
that white outsiders were gaining international
fame for representing their struggles to the world.
Director Steven Silver provides an unflinching look
at the politics – and the intense street fighting –
in which the photographers found themselves
immersed, lending the film a gripping
journalist’s-eye-view that drops us into a
harrowing moment of history.
They celebrate Kodachrome...
Kodachrome, the slide-film that inspired songs, was discontinued by Kodak last year at 74 years of age.
A Celebration of Kodachrome
The AOP Gallery showcases in this exhibition A Celebration of Kodachrom a selection of captivating and evocative images all shot on Kodachrome slid.
Upon hearing Kodak’s announcement that they would no longer be renewing stocks of Kodachrome, we thought it was time to celebrate this revered film!
The show features work from AOP members and members of the public. AOP photographer member Adam Woolfitt is planning an installation of his collection of Kodachrome slides inviting visitors to take a slide. So you could walk away with your own bit of history on a Kodachrome slide!
This eclectic and seminal exhibition is a must-see, featuring the work of top photographers and lovers of film.
Kodachrome film was manufactured for 74 years in various formats to suit still and motion picture cameras, including 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, and 35mm for movies and 35mm, 120, 110, 126, 828 and large format for still photography. For many years, it was used for professional color photography, especially for images intended for publication in print media. The film was sold with processing included in the purchase price except in the United States, where a 1954 legal ruling ended that practice.
10 wichtige Filme für Fotografen
HIER hat sich der Fotograf Henry Jacobson im Blog von fotovisura.com Gedanken über die (seiner Meinung nach) relevanten Filme gemacht. Und was sagt ihr???
Movies are a photographic medium (motion pictures) and should be consumed by photographers for the same reasons we look at painting, sculpture, architecture, theatre, and the work of our colleagues; to be inspired, to be moved, to find something great to rip off (or, if you prefer, to dialogue with in our own work).(...) I have selected them for their relevance to the creation of images by photographers today.
