We ask various professional photographers the "20 Questions" about their profession and industry they work in so that you can get a feel for the type of work you might want to get into...
Nolte Lourens is a full time, professional General Photographer. If it moves, he shoots it, if it doesn't move, he still shoots it, and on his days of, he does photography as a "hobby". Is he addicted? no… he can quit whenever he wants to… he just doesn't want to!
1. How did you get into photography?
About two years after school I decided to start traveling, so went out and bought a little point and shoot camera for my travels. I decided to document my entire trip on film and started shooting everything and everyone on my trip. It wasn't long before I realized that my shots were not really as good as as they probably could be, so I went out to buy a few magazines on photography, soon followed by books. It then became obvious that I would need to upgrade to a better camera…so i bought an entry level SLR. Then things got wild!

We are often asked about our workflow and how we go about shooting and sorting our files, how do we keep order in the chaos of literally thousands of shoots that needs to be processed and worked through. And to be brutally honest, we don't… because at some point too much order goes over into chaos again!

Newsflash
TOKYO, August 24, 2010 —Canon Inc. announced today that it has successfully developed an APS-H-size*1 CMOS image sensor that delivers an image resolution of approximately 120 megapixels (13,280 x 9,184 pixels), the world's highest level*2 of resolution for its size. Compared with Canon's highest-resolution commercial CMOS sensor of the same size, comprising approximately 16.1 million pixels, the newly developed sensor features a pixel count that, at approximately 120 million pixels, is nearly 7.5 times larger and offers a 2.4-fold improvement in resolution.*3 With CMOS sensors, while high-speed readout for high pixel counts is achieved through parallel processing, an increase in parallel-processing signal counts can result in such problems as signal delays and minor deviations in timing. By modifying the method employed to control the readout circuit timing, Canon successfully achieved the high-speed readout of sensor signals. As a result, the new CMOS sensor makes possible a maximum output speed of approximately 9.5 frames per second, supporting the continuous shooting of ultra-high-resolution images. Canon's newly developed CMOS sensor also incorporates a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) video output capability. The sensor can output Full HD video from any approximately one-sixtieth-sized section of its total surface area. Images captured with Canon's newly developed approximately 120-megapixel CMOS image sensor, even when cropped or digitally magnified, maintain higher levels of definition and clarity than ever before. Additionally, the sensor enables image confirmation across a wide image area, with Full HD video viewing of a select portion of the overall frame. Through the further development of CMOS image sensors, Canon will break new ground in the world of image expression, targeting new still images that largely surpass those made possible with film, and video movies that capitalize on the unique merits of SLR cameras, namely their high mobility and the expressive power offered through interchangeable lenses.
*1The imaging area of the newly developed sensor measures approx. 29.2 x 20.2 mm. |
