The Toronto Strobist Group got together again at Ryerson. We decided to leave the studio alone and congregated instead in the Eaton’s Lecture Theater — a 199 seat theater style lecture hall — to shoot our Cinema with a Twist theme. Here is a sampling…..more pics on flickr set.

More Siggraph Madness….Is anything real nowadays?….
More crazy image-enhanced video rendering papers from University of Washington being presented at Siggraph08. I just can’t get enough of these new applications of combining crappy video and some still frames to produce eye popping results.

Just came across Idée’s new baby, TinEye. Have you ever wondered why it is that you can’t just go to google images (or similar image search engine) and look for images based on image content and not tags, names and such. Well it’s because it’s damn hard to do and frankly until now I haven’t…
