Photography The Science

Matthew Trentacoste, Kris Krug and Warwick Patterson held a session at BarCampVancouver on anything and everything photographic that we, the session go-ers, wanted to talk about, learn, gain, explore.

Matt showed us some pretty spectacular effects along with a few great resources to scope out and play with:
Hand-Held Plenoptic Camera
Refocusing From Light Fields
Flash and No-Flash Image Pairs
Microsoft Photosynth on YouTube

Kris spoke about his yummy, high contrasty expired slide film/cross processing technique, one that I have really enjoyed exploring, taken directly from the KrisKrug School of Photography.

Warwick let us in on his Photoshop process - should I really make it public knowledge?!! He basically has his own recipe for unsharpen mask, curves, levels and colour profile.

Check out their flickr pages and feel free to contact these photographic Gurus for any advice and tips through their flickr mail:

For all you photographers out there, these guys are Pro - you'd be crazy not to tap into all that they want to share and follow their stellar work.
