Polaroids USA Series – New Images, FlickR Slideshow & Video
Posted by: | CommentsI like the washed-out colors of polaroid. This unique style is really timeless – no hype nor a short term fashion – since decades. As Polaroid stopped to produce new films in early 2008 the prices climbed and climbed since then. It`s time for me to try out how to get those beautiful colors of polaroid 669, polaroid 690 together with photoshop cs4 and lightroom instead of searching for the last polaroid film stock in shops. Here are my first results. I chose some images from my trip to Las Vegas – Nevada – Utah and California to try out ‘digital polaroid’ on american landscapes and street photos. The american style simply ‘cries’ for polaroid colors… It`s not perfect – not at all – but a good starting point to experiment with ‘digital polaroid’ in the future.

Posted by: | CommentsWhile building up the new blog structure here on my photoblog, I sorted my FlickR Account and updated some collections and sets there. More new image sets and collections will be added in the next days. You can find them here in the Top Menu in the ‘Mlenny FlickR Slideshow” section. There is a drop-down menu, where new sets and collection will be added in the next weeks.
As the first start here are the first 4 slide shows:

Namibia Portfolio (181 Images) (click here to view fullscreen):

Slideshows normally have to have musik or a soundtrack. Unfortunately it`s not possible to add music or sound to flickR slideshows. Another way to show a portfolio is to render a short videoclip. You can add music, sound and in the business version of animoto also custom text. Check out Animoto.com. The good thing is that you don`t have to upload twice (if you have already a flickR account) as animoto is able to grab your sets/collections directly from your photostream at flickR. This makes it very easy and convenient to built up a quick portfolio video. I will add soon some downloadable portfolio DVD`s here made with their technology.
Have fun playing around with this amazing technology. But beware, today is Friday the 13th ;)
