Interview with me on Caliber - Through Their Lens: Ivan Makarov - http://calibersf.com/2009...
Iván Abrego, James Myatt, imabonehead and 7 other people liked this
Ivan (pronounced ee-VAHN) Makarov is a Bay Area photographer that I have admired and loosely worked with over the past year. He strikes a balance of discipline, curiosity, and variety in his work; possibly a function of his continual pursuit of decency. Although stoic in facade, I think Ivan is constantly inserting emotion into his photography. I wanted to probe a bit on a few fronts of his style and inspiration. Read on…

I wonder, with the number of pictures TH has taken, if you were to add up all the exposure times, what it would total to?
Jeremy Brooks and Thomas Hawk liked this
hmmmm.. not sure. Most exposures are pretty fast, less than a second. Unless I'm doing tripod, motion, night type stuff. I've gotta revisit my total exposures taken number sometime. Plus I need to shoot more. Going to go shoot the Haight tomorrow afternoon. Was thinking I might take BART to the airport and hang out down there this afternoon today.
- Thomas Hawk
I'm thinking I need to hang out at the airport more and shoot. I ought to be visiting SFO at least once a month. Garry Winogrand has a book of airport photos that I put on my amazon wishlist yesterday. I think airport photos will age really well. I've seen a couple of Winogrand's and they hold up really well.
- Thomas Hawk
Do people still get hassled by security for shooting at airports?
- Adam Harrison
That's a cool idea.... Hmmmm....
- Jeremy Brooks
I don't think it would be that hard to write a perl script to get the exposure from the EXIF information, if the images are jpegs, and then total everything. But let's assume on average you shoot at 1/125th of a second. If you reach your 1,000,000 picture goal, that would be 8000 seconds, or a mere 2:13:20. So, in about the length of a movie, you could fit your million pictures. Why are you lagging. ;)
- Adam Harrison
Even if they were RAW, reading the header in Perl should be a snap. That said, we should be able to use the flickr API to snort all the EXIF in none fell swoop then tabulate the data.
- Ryan MacLean
If someone is feeling ambitious, here is the Flick API in perl... http://search.cpan.org/~iamcal...
- Adam Harrison
There's also a really good Flickr API in Python. We could make a GAE page that has a live update of TH's combined exposure times with milestones and everything.
- Pierre Honeyman
It's actually possible to calculate with Lightroom. In the "Library" module, select all photos, then click "|" button, then at the top select "shutter speed" attribute, and add up the different shutter speeds by the number of shots. I haven't done that myself yet, but it's interesting to see that in my current catalog for 2009, I have 11k pictures (I've deleted a bunch recently, so the...

My most frequently used shutter speed is 1/160.
- Ivan Makarov
Aperture - f/2.8 by far.
- Ivan Makarov
My most frequently used shutter speed is 1/320. Aperture f/2.0 by far.
- Thomas Hawk
A million pictures at 1/320 each is just a hair over 52 minutes. If your wife complains about how much time you spend behind the camera, share that stat.
- Adam Harrison
Brilliant. Let's see if that works this evening... if you guys don't hear from me tomorrow, blame Adam!
- Ryan MacLean
Hey, this is fun! Most used aperture - f/4.0; Shutter speed - 1/250s; ISO - 400; Most used lens - EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
- tabbr
Okay! Announcing Shuttertime! The amazingly hacky hack to count the number of photos you have on Flickr with different shutter speeds, and the total time. You can get it here: http://www.whirljack.net/softwar...
- Jeremy Brooks
It requires Java 1.5 or higher. Unzip the archive, cd to the directory, and run java -jar Shuttertime.jar
- Jeremy Brooks
You must run it from a command line. It will go through your photostream and count up the total exposure time, and the number of photos at each shutter speed. It's probably buggy. It was hacked together in a couple of hours. If will take a LONG time to run against TH's photostream.
- Jeremy Brooks
I have to step away from my desk for a while, but if somebody with a relatively small photostream could test it out, it would be much appreciated! Again, the URL is http://www.whirljack.net/softwar...
- Jeremy Brooks
I've also taken 22 shots at f/95 with my D300.
- Ivan Makarov
f95? At what point does no light at all get in? O_o
- Adam Harrison
Well, technically, there is no f/95. But that's what EXIF data shows when you install only one of the two required firmware updates. I actually started to freak out for a while until I realized what was happening. It would go from f/1 to f/95 within just a few frames when you're not doing any changes to the dial.
- Ivan Makarov
Ok, found a bug already. But then I fixed it. Same routine: download, unzip, cd to the directory, and run java -jar Shuttertime.jar from a command line. You can get the latest version here: http://www.whirljack.net/softwar...
- Jeremy Brooks
Hey Jeremy, I tried your program; works like a charm. Total exposure time: 631.2803 seconds. Total photos: 96 Average time/photo: 6.575836 seconds. I have a few long exposure shots that increase the average.
- tabbr
That's pretty cool, Jeremy! Seems to work for me too: Total exposure time: 184.17387 seconds. Total photos: 836. Average time/photo: 0.22030367 seconds.
- Chris Martino
Here's mine: Total exposure time: 3791.551 seconds. Total photos: 10989, Average time/photo: 0.3450315 seconds. There's a little weirdness on some photostreams I have tested on, so consider it a beta still....
- Jeremy Brooks
Version 0.4.0 should be more accurate; it looks for more specific EXIF tags. It seems that some photos have odd values for the shutter speed; those are not counted now.
- Jeremy Brooks
i wasn't about to run your beta version
- bluetick
Eh, software is all beta anyway.

OK, question, she sent me an email inclusing "These photos would be put on the website, would be featured in programmes of the games we play, and would need to be available for us to use for other promotional things (events, fundraisers, etc)." and "We're very interested in working on something with you, what do you think our next step should be?" ... give me some ideas about the negotiation ... it seems to me they are asking for the copyright, am i correct?
- Mo Tabesh
they are super nice and i like to work with them, do you guys have any advice?
- Mo Tabesh
You can work on an individual licence for each image they want to use from what you've already produced. For future work, you could maybe work out a retainer for x-number of events and shots for y-number of purposes... or a job by job fee, with all images finally taken and selected by mutual consent for release to them... depends on how much of a budget they have really.... or could be payment in kind ;-) gosh i can be such an ass sometimes....
- JediPein
For the individual shots you've done so far you could perhaps do a package deal... say a few hundred bucks... or a few crates of Mooseheads... then the rest give them some options... i think job by job might be better, as it gives them both some flexibility... a retainer might put a lot of pressure on both sides.... them; to give you enough work to justify the retainer... you; to keep...
more...
- JediPein
they are not interested in my old shots. it's only for the future. so explain it again, in simple english please!
- Mo Tabesh
My attempt at translating JediPein: You can sell them some rights to each shot. Not entirely giving them up, but extending some rights to them for Canadian Beans
- Almond Dhukka
Congrats and good luck! Hope you do retain enough rights to give a glimpse of ur work ;)
- Shivanand Velmurugan
from Alert Thingy
ya, like what almond said, but here's an expansion of in plainer language: they can either pay you a retainer meaning a lump sum per month say, and they take and do whatever they please with the images you give them, unless you specify don't crop etc.
- JediPein
or, they can get you to go to each 'event' like a portrait shot or group shot or game day, and each 'event' is paid for via it's own little agreement... like a fee for each event...
- JediPein
or, they can just give you loads of Mooseheads and you just shoot when you drink....

Almond Dhukka, Jeremy Brooks, Kenton and 7 other people liked this
so it stops autofocusing?
- Ivan Makarov
Dang, I remember when you had sent it back the third time. I don't think I've heard of anyone having as many problems with this lens as you have. The heck are you doing to it? =)
- ronin
I think I'm just using it a lot. But it should hold up better than it has in my opinion. It just won't autofocus. I think it's the focus ring because it doesn't manual focus either. It's my favorite lens and I use it to shoot with probably 80% of the time. Hopefully it comes back quick. I may also just have a lemon of a lens. You never know.
- Thomas Hawk
Maybe they should just replace it with a better copy.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
That would be nice John. We'll see. I doubt they do that. I think they like being repaid over and over again to repair it.
- Thomas Hawk
I doubt you're using it too much. You likely don't use it more than a wedding photographer who shoots 2-3 weddings a week using mostly one prime.. It shouldn't give you this problem.
- Ivan Makarov
I wonder if mine has issues, what happens?
- Paula W
for the first year it should be under warranty Paula. But after that it's not. I'd watch it. If you are having any trouble at all close to the end of the first year of ownership you might want to think about sending it in. It costs about $175 every time I have to have it repaired.
- Thomas Hawk
You've almost doubled what you paid for it in the first place, right? That's gotta hurt.
- Almond Dhukka
I sent my 50 1.4 in because the focus stopped working. It works now, but it's not like it was. The ring is sticky, and it doesn't focus as fast. When it dies again, I'm just going to replace it. And take the old one apart.
- Jeremy Brooks
Well damn. I'm finally getting this lens in a couple of weeks. Hopefully yours is an isolated event - never heard of this happening.

Blake, it's the best lens I've every used. Even with it's horrible repair record I'm not disappointed I bought it.
- Thomas Hawk
I loved that lens when I rented it. It would really suck to have to send it in multiple times for repair.
- Jordan Hofker
Woot, thx Thomas - again, can't wait.
- Blake Caldwell
Thomas do you find you have to step back when trying to frame shots with the 135 ? I guess you are used to the focal length now so probably change lenses if you want something wider/closer ?
- David Pascoe
My leica lenses never had autofocus issues.
- Ricardo Liberato
David, exactly, I've got a 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 100mm macro, and my 135 that are with me whenever I'm shooting. Lots of lens switching but mostly I shoot the 135. Zooming with your feet though is one hassle of primes over zooms and is not always possible.
- Thomas Hawk
Autofocus is your friend dear Liber, remember that.
- Thomas Hawk
my canon 28-135mm hasn't auto focused for about 6 months now. out of warranty. is that what they basically charged you every time you sent it in?
- bluetick
yeah, about that. Manual focus wouldn't work either on my 135 f/2.
- Thomas Hawk
my favorite lens as well, hope you get your fixed
- tomms
th, you ever use a 1.4x extender with the 135mm? would you recommend it?
- tabbr
yeah, I've used it. Don't really like it. But I usually don't need that little bit extra bit of reach. If I do I'd likely use it on my 70-200 f/4.
- Thomas Hawk
Woah, just got my repair quote for the repair on my lens. Canon is repairing it free of charge. That's pretty cool of them.
- Thomas Hawk
Very cool
- Alex Scoble
Yay, Canon...that's great! I have to say, the 135L was my favorite lens and the one I miss the most and really only got to use it a few months before I sold my Canon gear and went all Leica.
- Susan Dennis
That's good to hear.
- Jeremy Brooks
That was nice of Canon to fix it at no charge when it's no longer under warranty. Moves like this win points with the man upstairs.
- tabbr
It was nice of Canon. It was the 4th time it had been in for the same problem. It was nice to see them recognize that and offer to fix it free this time. Normally the warranty on repairs is 6 months.
- Thomas Hawk
i dont like the extender either, ive used the 1.4 and the 2x and it felt like i lost a lot of the sharpness, which is what the 135 is known for. and because im shooting on a crop camera, i get the 1.6 anyway

Never heard of a leica lens going in for repair four times. Not even twice.

Flickr/Getty vs. Clustershot An Update on the Stock Photography Front - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

Steven Perez, RAPatton, Colide81 (James) and 11 other people liked this
A few months back I wrote a blog post detailing my experience selling stock photography through both Getty Images’ Flickr Collection program as well as a new program allowing you to sell your photography through ClusterShot. The title of my post “Is 20% of something better than 88% of nothing” compared my own experience with the companies and my sales through the companies as of last May. Getty pays out about 20% for royalty free images while ClusterShot pays out 88%. Today I just received my sixth monthly statement from Getty Images and I thought it an appropriate time to revist my experience selling stock photography through both companies. At present I’ve got 68 images offered for sale through Getty. You can see my Getty images for sale here. For my first six months in the program I’ve earned $883.35 from the sale of 22 images. At present I’ve got 30,848 images offered for sale through ClusterShot. You can see my Clustershot images for sale here. So far I’ve earned $338.80 from the sale of 3 images.
- Thomas Hawk
This is excellent information. Thanks for posting. I've been trying to figure out which services to invest time/effort in for this. Peace TH.
- Rich Harris
I just can't get behind the Getty thing. They want all the rights to the images they choose, and require that you drop the CC license from images they choose. You cannot sell them yourself. That kills the deal for me.
- Jeremy Brooks
The fact that Getty refuses to recognize the Creative Commons license as valid is disappointing indeed Jeremy.
- Thomas Hawk
Also, from this clause in their agreement: "Getty Images has the exclusive right to sell your images and images substantially similar to those in a commercial context once you've accepted their invitation (and signed the Getty Images Contributor Agreement)." it would appear to be a violation to sell the same image on ClusterShot, or from any other site where it might still have a CC license.
- Jeremy Brooks
that's correct Jeremy. That's why I've removed images that I've got licensed through Getty from ClusterShot. Getty's exclusivity thing is a strike against them compared to Clustershot who requires no exclusivity.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, thanks for sharing your experience. Only 3 sales through ClusterShot from a 30K+ pool seems like a dismal fail. Hardly worth the time and effort it took to set up the account. I agree that Getty's return is significantly better,but it would take an awful lot of photos on Getty and a lot of time and effort to make anything resembling a living from selling stock through them.
- Jeff P. Henderson
You can't compare these two. I wouldn't call Clustershot a stock agency. It's more of a webshop where you can put up your photos for sale. Getty is also much more established than Clustershot. When people contact me personally and want to buy a photo I refer to Clustershot, my webshop.

- Rutger Blom
that was nice of Getty and Clustershot to both tweet.
- Thomas Hawk
Just so it's clear what we meant when we said "embarrassed": http://twitter.com/cluster...
- Dan James
So what about the copies of the photos that you have on other sites (Zooomr, your blog, whatever) that are essentially the same as the Getty shots? How do you handle that? You cannot retroactively change the CC license; so are the photos on Zooomr still available under the CC?
- Jeremy Brooks
well Getty is only 68 shots. But these same shots moved from CC to "all rights reserved" as part of the Flickr deal. Which is dumb, because you are right Jeremy, once CC, always CC. The same shots still exist on Zooomr as CC.
- Thomas Hawk
Cool. Thanks for the clarification.

just to say: it's an incredible feeling to see his own pics for the first time on a size of more than 10 square meters. That's really something special.

I'm not so sure about this....
- Simon Wicks
Is it a weather balloon?
- WorldofHiglet
Bit weird looking isn't it
- Simon Wicks
Doesn't look comfortable..
- Spencer
This is kinda cool, but I'm pretty MEH on the idea of spending $70 on a cool new mouse.
- Sparky
The only compelling feature for me are the multitouch gestures. Not compelling enough for me to replace my Kensington track ball, though.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'd have to play with one before setting my money down on it. Wonder if they'll be in the Apple store if i go along now?
- Simon Wicks
I really like it. Might feel weird scrolling at first but I'm hoping it will feel more solid than the mighty mouse. Agree with Sparky though, bit pricey!
- Charlotte M
If it's 70$ is that about £35, thats what i paid for my mighty mouse which gave up after a couple months anyway.. I cant see a price for it anywhere at the moment, UK store still down.
- Simon Wicks
They must have a lobotomized chimp designing their peripherals. Might as well re-release the puck mouse.
- Nemo
Nemo, you mean Jonathan Ive?
- Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ
I've spent $100 on a mouse before so $70 is nothing to me. I'm pretty interested in how the multi touch will work and I really like it being bluetooth. If the multi touch works great then I will get one.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Simon, £55 in the uk store I believe. Not as tempted as I was after seeing the price.

My dear other half (who suffers from RSI) took one look at the new mouse and ran away screaming. She thinks it's exactly the kind of mouse to cause/make worse RSI, for many of the same reasons that the infamous "hockey puck" did.
- Ian Betteridge
Damn, and I just bought a Mighty Mouse a week or two ago.
- Ranger Craig
Love it. So want it. I love multi-touch :)
- Zachary TG
£55 to me is a lot for a mouse.. Especially one that's likely to make my fingers hurt more with lots of useage. Im gonna go to the Apple Store on Thursday and have a go with one. Dont really want to judge it on just its looks. But it's probably the most clever mice around at the moment, what with its swipes etc, but i think it could do with being a bit more hand friendly.

Assaulted on Robson St. for taking pictures. Cops could do nothing. Story at 11.
Jeremy Brooks and Thomas Hawk liked this
Oh, I'm quite fine. It was pushing, shoving, and threatening, and then they lied to the cops about it. Might be pics; I'm considering.
- Pierre Honeyman
To clarify, only one man assaulted me but two were present. And, for once, I was polite and didn't swear or anything. And then the cops lectured me. Fuckers.
- Pierre Honeyman
fuck that shit :-(
- Mo Tabesh
the police are not your friends, hug a fireman ;-}
- Wendy Martyn
did you tell the police that you were taking those pictures for Papa? you should have, Papa has some connections among the west coast mafia. :D
- Mo Tabesh
You know damned if you do, damned if you don't. I could have easily kicked his ass, and probably his son (at the same time), but I would have lost my camera and ended up in jail. However me calling the cops and having them lecture me isn't exactly satisfying either. Maybe next time a sucker punch and a runner.
- Pierre Honeyman
just call Luca Brasi. he'll take care of them :D
- Mo Tabesh
glad you're ok man.
- Mo Tabesh
Where on Robson? By who? ESL students? This town... Glad to hear you're alright.
- Ryan MacLean
Robson @ Burrard. By a guy in his fifties (see my later FF post). His son was there but was passive the whole time.
- Pierre Honeyman
so just to defend the good name of ESL students: were they white?! ;-}
- Mo Tabesh
Yes, white and upper middle class.
- Pierre Honeyman
yeah sucker punch and a runner, wish I'd been there, I would have taken pics.

Normally Boris has the ak-47 slung on his back, SI it couldn't be fear, it is really quite discreet. But my uncle always said a Kalashnikov was a photographer's best friend, though that was in Angola.

Haha Mo I just caught that. It's not that I don't trust ESL students... it's that I DO trust them and they are pretty passive :) I've taken my share of ESL student shots on Robson, and have yet to have an issue, hence my interest. Robson is mostly a shopping street.
- Ryan MacLean
i got the joke. i was joking too. i just can't sit and watch the good name of ESL students being dragged in the mud :D

Heh. Gotta love Canadian cities built around universities.

Pierre, I think Sean from discarted actually uses a little camera that you can wear around your neck and turn it on for things just like this.
- Thomas Hawk
Sorry to hear that, man. That's one thing I'm happy about on my new camera: Video. With two button pushes on the back of the camera, it's recording audio and video.

Our baby Nadya successfully made it to this world earlier this morning in the same place where we gave birth to Maks couple of years ago, Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Gatos, California. The only negative is that due to swine flu, they no longer allow kids to visit hospitals, so Maks won't meet his new sister or mommy for few more days. Bummer. Nadya's got big red cheeks, a head full of hair and beautiful little eyes. She's perfect.

The problem is not that the censors are not nice. It's that there are censors at all.
charlotte, Mo Tabesh, Almond Dhukka and 5 other people liked this
indeed. And here's what I don't get. How can a community like FriendFeed operate without censors? I mean really. It seems so impossible doesn't it? Just allowing a community to exist on it's own without censoring it.
- Thomas Hawk
It would have to buckle if we start really upsetting people and they get police or lawyers involved, but it's nice and free for now!
- Ryan MacLean
Or maybe a more mature way of handing things you don't like is simply blocking it.
- Thomas Hawk
Fair enough. :)

I don't like this thread where can I delete it from existence forever?

Photowalking in Palo Alto | Ivan Makarov - Photography Blog - http://ivanmakarov.com/pblog...
Nia, .LAG liked that, Thomas Hawk and Jeremy Brooks liked this
I just got home from the photowalk in Palo Alto that my buddy Thomas Hawk invited me to a while back. The photowalk was organized by Trevor Carpenter (pleasure to meet you, man) and 30+ photographers showed up on this warm day to take pictures together and socialize afterward. The timing of the photowalk couldn’t be more perfect. As we’re about to have baby, I had a long week wrapping up all my projects at work all week long, and it was nice to spend some time away from my desk simply taking pictures. We mostly shot neon tonight since it gets dark early these days. I have not shot much of neon at all, so it was a nice change of genre for me, and there is not a better person to learn from than Thomas (check out his neon sets here – amazing work). Palo Alto has some beautiful old signs on University Avenue. I’ll post more photos as I process them in the coming days.

Sorry about the double post. Still trying to learn how things work around here at FF.
- Ivan Makarov
Sweet! You know I love this one. It was nice shooting with you again.
- Jeremy Brooks
yes, i'm about to go drop the turd into the pool - my first neon submission. how did you photos turned out Jeremy?
- Ivan Makarov
I'm geotagging them now; I'll load them into Aperture when that's finished and take a look.
- Jeremy Brooks
do you have a GPS you attach to the camera?
- Ivan Makarov
No, it's a logger that records my position. I batch tag all the photos prior to importing into Aperture: http://www.whirljack.net/jeremyb...
- Jeremy Brooks
It was the thing with the blinky light that was hanging on my backpack.
- Jeremy Brooks
cool - didn't knopw you had a blog - just added it to my RSS feeder. i have GPS inside my phone and i track location as i shoot - but at times i simply forget to do that.
- Ivan Makarov
anyway - really tired. time to go hit the pillow. legs are feeling it.
- Ivan Makarov
Great hanging out tonight Ivan and great neon. You process photos quickly! :)
- Thomas Hawk
Nah, TH. It's just one photo - had to dump all the photos off and free up some card for family shoot tomorrow so I thought I might as well post something. Good times hanging out tonight - glad you passed the word about the photowalk. It was good to unwind a bit.
- Ivan Makarov
Yeah, that was a good walk. It's nice to see such variety -- some people using DSLR's for the first time, some people out shooting with their iPhones, and some people with tons of experience. Good times.
