Chris Meyer
Chris Meyer of Crish Design has been involved in both the music industry as a musician, sound designer, recording engineer, and designer of electronic instruments and recording devices; as well as the motion graphics industry where he and his wife Trish create animations for broadcast, film, special venues, trade shows, and web sites. However, before both, he had an interest in photography - an interest he continues to nurture today through the use of photographs as the starting point in mixed media art, often employing experimental printing techniques.

Let It SnowEye candy: A quick shot at photographing falling snow.
We had our first good snow in the mountains today. At one point when the flakes got particularly large, my wife Trish asked if I could get a photo that showed off the individual flakes, as her PowerShot SD870 IS was insisting on too long of a shutter time. So I picked up the Canon 5D mkII, slapped on its stock 24-105mm L IS lens, opened it up all the way to f=4.0 with a 1/2000 shutter speed at ISO 500, and fired a few pics through the office window (I know - a real man would have went outside). more » Project Icarus: Near-Space Photography for Under $150A balloon story that isn’t a hoax.
For those who have made the move to digital cameras, an inevitable consequence of the relentless march of technology is that we end up with cameras that are “obsolete” (because the new model has more pixels, less compression, video capabilities, etc.). So what do we do with those old cameras? How about using them to get a shot we otherwise wouldn’t consider going for, because we might lose the camera in the process? more »PhotoSketch Image MontageHAL displays mad Photoshop skills. Should he collect the royalties?
A very interesting system was recently demonstrated at SIGGRAPH Asia that allows a user to make a rough sketch of their desired composite image, labeling the components of the composite (dog, ball, etc.). The software then searches for images that match the name and shape that the user specified, compares the foreground objects to background candidates for suitability (in other words, how easy they will be to composite together), and then creates candidate composites: more »Extended Shutter FunShooting hot-air balloons (and robot vacuum cleaners) with extended shutter times.
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is on right now, and it is truly one of the more joyous man-made phenomenon to shoot: hundreds of balloons of all shapes and colors from over 50 countries over a 200-acre area. But as much fun as they are flying, even more fun for an experimental photographer is seeing them at night during a “balloon glow.” After the sun sets, the pilots inflate the balloons (but keep them on the ground); the flames that generate the hot air also illuminate the balloons from inside. And, even more fun than a balloon glow, is setting your camera to very long exposure times and experimenting with different camera movements. more »Page 1 of 1 pages |
