Reinforcement has arrived

Tiffen Circular Polarizer, Zoom H4N, Dolica ND filters

Finally I got my hands on some new stuff I've been waiting for. Zoom H4N portable digital recorded with accessories, 3 Dolica ND filters (0.3, 0.6, 0.9) for my 17-40mm f4 L and Tiffen Circular Polarizer for my 50mm f1.4.


Zoom H4N for perfect audio capturing


     
Sony MDR-V6 headphones of perfection.

Got a chance to shoot some autumn forest scenery

It's been a while since I felt the need to shoot some forest scenery. Yesterday we went to National Park Lovcen, Montenegro, and hiked through the forest. The autumn colors dominated low contrast forest while the fog wasn't really helping. It was a good day to test out some settings on my 7d. I used my fave lens 17-40mm f4 L without any filters on it. Did some post processing in Photoshop (brightness and contrast etc).

The rest of the set can be seen on my Flickr account.
Cheers!

A photo from an expedition to Rikavacko lake, Montenegro

The walk
While I was missing in action, I took a day off and went hiking with an expedition to a remote place in the mountains here in Montenegro. For this shot I used my Canon 7d with Canon 17-40mm f4 L lens. Had to run to a nearby hill for the vantage point. The line of people introduces to the midpoint of our hill where we were heading. It was an amazing day indeed.

More of the series can be seen on my Flickr account. . .

Montepass - Future in front of you. Montenegrin CV generator

Logo of the first Montenegrin CV generator

Well, it's been a while since I've blogged so I thought I should share the news with you. :) I'll dedicate this post to Montepass campaign that included Print + Video and was executed by daa Montenegro. The first time I was approached by Anton (our contact from Montepass.com) I was quite excited we were about to embarge in a fun and productive project. Once in a while we get projects like this one: one that we enjoy doing, that it's not dedicated to a big business but rather an initiative by young and promising entrepreneurs.
We decided that the punch line for the campaign will be "From now on the job looks for you" or in native language "Od sada posao traži vas". The key components to the campaign were elements of both the need to have a CV that is easy to fill, very comprehensive, detailed and visually pleasing and the other part of the Montepass is that companies buy the CV database to search for future employees. Knowing Montenegrin mentality we gave our best to attract all employed and unemployed citizens to fill out their CVs. Who knows - maybe it's today when they get a new job offer.

One of the snapshots from the video

The video was done in HD resolution (720p) and was developed in Adobe software (Illustrator, Photoshop, After effects and Premiere Pro).
It was great fun working on the project and we hope it gets the success it deserves.
Kudos to Bada who designed the visuals and was involved in the whole process.

Get Inspired! "What light" and "Bruce"



British animator Sarah Wickens created this amazing stop motion using the Sun as her medium. It's inspiring and haunting at the same time. In the end, even the credits were made using the sunlight, but it also reveals the secret behind it.



Tom Judd wrote, animated and directed this amazing short. The story is beyond powerful, and the sounds really made me smile. Amazing piece of art in both cases, but still they remain very different in their mediums.

Get inspired!
