Missy MWAC Parodies David Jay’s New Internet Infomercial

Peter Zack — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:49:47 +0000

by Peter Zack

Missy is great and if you haven’t checked out her YouTube channel, it’s worth having a look. Her parody of so many things photographic is fantastic.

You can find Missy’s latest video here on Facebook. I’m not going to include D.Jay’s link because I don’t want to promote that tripe here.

A few great quotes from Missy:

“In yer ten steps, it’s almost like I wrote it… If you had just put something about glitter and bacon, I could have just signed my name to it!”
“It’s true, I don’t have a $1500 one day workshop just to talk about my web site but ya know, I think it’s totally worth it”,
“It’s like Walt Disney kinda gives the PhotoSystem his stamp of approval…. his frozen head does”

Oh and as for David? My favourite quote from his 10 steps is “Spray and pray. Shoot a lot and if you forget what to do with your camera, just click it into “P” mode and shoot away.”

Oh and D.Jay’s best tweet of the day? “zero – I’ve been outta shooting for five years. Did you think I was still shooting weddings?” This was in response to a question on when he shot his last wedding.

My next post will be “The Ten Steps to wedding photography disasters.”

Cheers and good shooting (and watch what you buy into)

Funny for the Day

by Peter Zack

Right on the heels of the recent camera announcements (see D800) and many cameras with some of the largest sensors we’ve seen to date, is this funny cartoon. Need I say more?

Cheers and good shooting

Photographers Really Do Talk Like This.

Peter Zack — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:46:18 +0000

by Peter Zack

They forgot a few; “I love Bokeh”, “I only shoot RAW” and “Jpeg vs RAW.
My favourite? “Soft, Soft, Soft, Soft…”

Battle at F-Stop Ridge…The Carnage Continues!

Miserere — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:08:49 +0000

by Miserere

In May of last year the guys at The Camera Store in Calgary shot a funny war spoof short with an expensive bunch of camera gear. I think I wrote about it or tweeted it because it made me laugh a lot. Who says Canadians don’t have a sense of humour because it’s too cold up North?

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they had just uploaded part 2 in the series earlier today. I’m including part 1 here for those that didn’t catch it the first time it hit theatres.

For those that want a peak behind the scenes to see how the first production was shot, here it is:

These guys don’t just make funny videos, they also review photography equipment in a unique style that I find very enjoyable. Check out their YouTube channel.

Good light and good luck,

Missy, You Are My New Hero!

Peter Zack — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:01:58 +0000

by Peter Zack

This cracked me up. If you don’t get it, she’s being so sarcastic. There are some classic lines in there:

”…the thing where you… oh, oh shutter speed!!”
”…let the camera do the work for you…”

The curious thing about the video is how many dislikes there were vs ‘Likes’ Maybe all those “real” MWAC’s got the joke and were offended.

There are several videos in the set. I wonder how long she’ll keep this going.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S3NFW2c7hA

Keep up the great work Missy, maybe someone’s listening….

The other episodes are here:
Part 2: Family Posing That’s REAL
Part 3: The Importance of Accessories in Professional Photography
Part 4: To Print or NOT to Print

Her video goes quite nicely with our humour piece from a while ago Top Ten Reasons You Should Become a Pro.

Cheers and good shooting

Amazing Ultimate Photo Booth Themed Rube Goldberg Machine

Peter Zack — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:00:31 +0000

by Peter Zack

OK, so it’s a big advertisement, but that doesn’t matter because it’s an amazing setup and well worth watching. But not only is it expertly set up, but also well filmed. Make sure to hit the full-screen button!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKpxd8hzOcQ

I’d really like to know what lens got trashed by the hammer!

If you want to see more of the setup, here are a few links from the YouTube posting.

You can watch the teasers put out in the months leading up to their Rube Goldberg Machine here:

Cheers and good shooting

World’s Widest Fisheye Lens Covers 360 Degrees FoV

Miserere — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:00:44 +0000

by Miserere

Did you find your wide lenses just weren’t wide enough? Did you turn to a fisheye lens in search of a wider view only to be disappointed by its measly 180° diagonal FoV? Then you need the lens that created the photo of the Strahov Philosophical Library in Prague.

The maker of the lens is being kept secret for the moment. All we know are the specs: -5mm f/16 double-fisheye. Yes, you read correctly, the focal length is minus 5mm, its aperture is fixed, and thanks to its double-fisheye design it can photograph an astonishing 360° FoV!

You can find more information here.

Weddings Can Be Funny Too! Wedding Photographer Fails

Peter Zack — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 17:38:20 +0000

by Peter Zack

Some days, things are going just right. Some days they aren’t. Especially if your backup camera is over your shoulder and this happens. Not too sure I’d be very happy with the videographer if I was the photographer. It’s funny but I really feel for the guy.

Wedding Photographer Fail – Watch more Funny Videos

Some day an author should compile a book of wedding photography nightmares. I have a couple that would make the book!

Just for fun, a few more. not necessarily the photographers fault but they are worth sharing.

Then you’re the best man and the party last night went a little too long…

Never trust a woman in a red dress, Especially when she’s trying to upstage the bride! I really feel for the bride in this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4q0YBqjCBU

Laughter is the best medicine. Remember to always wear suspenders! (this one’s too long, not much new after 45 seconds)

Brings a whole new meaning to the Expression “Taking the Plunge”.
Seems to be a warning here that water and weddings don’t mix well.

Cheers and good shooting – Peter Zack
I hope at least better shooting than this!
