“We all know that over the last few years digital photography has grown by leaps and bounds. Digital image quality is getting better almost exponentially and computer editing tools are getting easier and faster for professionals and non-professionals alike.
What I would like to argue, however, is that analog, film-based forms of photography will make a huge comeback in the very near future — in fact, it’s already happening.”
Did you know that you can make a super computer by networking Playstations together? I guess the 7 core “cell” processor is really great for super computing and computations that can make use of parallel computing. Also its much cheaper, $300.00 per “cell” as opposed to $5,000.00. All you need is a dvd copy of linux, a flashdrive with the cluster SDK on it and well…. a very large math problem to solve.
Heres a great preview of the new 3k chip Red Scarlet from the Engadget site. Its intended to be in the price range of prosumer shooters and indie film makers. This type of quality and versatility in this price range could very well revolutionize the technology within the industry. This is exciting in a time where more and more still shooters are getting request for motion as well. These cameras can accept Nikon and Canon glass via an adapter and they can intelligently communicate with the camera (this brings the prices down even more). More info about the RED Scarlet and prices here.
I found this video to be intresting. Kevin Kelly talks about the evolution of technology being something that effects us every day. I love the idea that “Every technology is a creative force looking for the right job” Definitely something to think about!
