What is the fuss about 500px?

What is 500px? Heres the sites About Us

500px is a photographic community powered by creative people from all over the world that lets you share and discover inspiring photographs.

Indeed I can attest to the above description, it is the new Flickr but more stunning uploads with simple but great site interface. The main difference of 500px from Flickr is, you don’t need to publish all your photos it is a showcase of your best work, a site for your portfolio. There are very few Filipinos on 500px, maybe we are just too busy uploading our “awesome” pictures on Facebook. I’m actually campaigning it to photog friends to join in now. Its been over 6 months now since I joined and it simply inspires me just checking out the photos specially the popular gallery. Add me on 500px.com/tekgik I’ll do more uploads soon. A word of caution: if you are the type that don’t wanna see artistic nudes oftenly then 500px might not be for you. But there is a nude filter so you can safely browse with kids at your back.

Fujifilm and the leaked retrofied ILC X-Pro 1

tekgik — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:57:36 +0000

It looks like Fujifilm is reserving its big announcement of this interchangeable camera dubbed the X-Pro 1. A banking site accidentally leaked it yesterday. It got some identical resemblance of the current serious compact the x10. We will know next week if this is just an imagination or a reality. I think its legit and I want one.

Fujifilm and their 27 cameras

tekgik — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:22:27 +0000

Fujifilm (yes still not digital) announced their 27 cameras for 2012 from the compact JZ100 to the more expensive bridge camera the HS30EXR. Nothing to get excited about since the rumored interchangeable APS-C x100-like design is nowhere to be found. Their press release.

The only interesting camera among the lot is the FinePix XP150 and XP100 because of its abuse-proof and GPS features.

The Nikon beast is out with a D4 label

tekgik — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:57:06 +0000

I always wonder how a Nikon performs? Since I started using a DSLR I haven’t owned anything beside Canon. Specs wise, this is truly a beast that matches the Canon 1Dx. A 16MP sensor with up to 12fps speed and 51 points AF system, it is certainly the best speced Nikon camera ever made. One of my target this year is to own a Nikon but certainly not this wallet draining camera. Linky for the full info about this at Nikon’s website.

This is next! A NEX-7 invite

tekgik — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:12:07 +0000

Got an interesting email this afternoon. A Sony NEX-7 launching that will happen on the first week of February. I’m very excited as I really dig these mirrorless cameras these past few months. I hope we can have a review unit.

Was twittering like crazy last night while reading Engadget’s live blog and watching / listening to Ustream .

Now gadget lust is acting up again..

If Globe Telecom will allow data tethering I’ll probably buy the iPhone 3Gs because I’m now in the market of buying an iPod Touch.

The new refined unibody MBP seems to be a sensible upgrade because of the 7 hours* battery life but I’ll try not to since my current last gen aluminum MBP still serves what I need. Frankly, a Mac Pro can be a reasonable one if the price is not so prohibiting, this will best paired with my 5D Mark II’s 21mp image files and Full HD videos. But I’ll definitely upgrade to Snow Leopard irregardless.

It’s the year of financial breakdowns for many and it seems these tools “gizmos” are magnets to our hard earned cash. I know myself, sometimes I just need to be flooded with the tech specs and my GL (gadget lust) will diminished. I hope that will work again.

But “one more thing” I really like the new iPhone 3Gs, I already skipped 2 generations and just settled with s60 symbian smartphones like the e61i and e71.

$100k + 1000FPS HD Camera

tekgik — Fri, 08 May 2009 09:14:12 +0000

Outstanding sample footage from this $100k camera. A high-speed camera capable of shooting 1000fps that makes fast action so slow and smooth. Hit the link to slash gear for more info.

The BBC have released footage filmed with their $100,000 high-speed HD camera, a modified TyphoonHD4, in advance of their new documentary South Pacific. The camera – which is capable of filming in super slow motion and high definition at 20 times the speed of a normal HD camera – was used to record big wave surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12 foot monster barrel, the first time such footage has ever been filmed.

I’m inviting you to visit our club’s photo exhibit PiPho Org Photo Exhibit “Something Nature” at Concourse Plaza, Manila Ocean Park.

Pinoy Photography Organization, or PiPho, is one of the country’s top photography clubs. Established in 2005, the club was formed by a group of friends who all share the same passion in photography, and formed Pipho Org, with the philosophy, “To Learn, Share and Enliven Your Passion.” What was once a handful of amateur photographers, in 4 years, has grown into a photography club with over 50 members, consisting of both professionals and serious hobbyists, each having a style of his own. Pipho boasts of a diverse pool of talented members, of different specialties and fields in photography, who never ceases wanting to learn, and who are always willing to share, and encouraging each other, to keep the passion for photography alive.

Something Nature, is PiPho’s take on how they see nature. Having photographs taken from different parts of the country and different parts of the world, the club’s main goal is to showcase the natural beauty that is all around us.
