PHOTO WORKSHOPS

Don’t miss our unique 2012 workshop programme We’ve teamed with Epson Print Academy and photography workshop and training specialist, aspect2i, to host a brand new series of exclusive photo-workshops at key branches this year.

Exhibition quality printing

The day-long courses, which include capture, post processing and print techniques, were launched at the beginning of March at our Drummond Street, Euston branch.

Michael Pilkington, a founding partner at aspect2i told Focus: “This is a key joint initiative to help photographers, both amateur and professional, evolve their skills to the next level. Aspect2i plans to offer the widest range of class-based workshops in the country - and this compelling new programme, brings the Epson Print Academy proposition to key Calumet stores.”

Macro and closeup photography

He added: “These dynamic workshops, hosted by well-known professionals, including Sue Bishop, Mike McNamee, John Humphrey, Andrew Williams, Trevor Waldron and Paul Gallagher, are specifically tailored to enable photographers to master a specific topic. It’s about providing delegates with the opportunity to take their photography skills to the next level. We believe in helping photographers develop their skills, their hobby and their passion. And when it comes to output we believe that too many images stay on a screen or a hard drive. Our view remains that photography is really about the excitement of creating an outstanding and very high quality print.”

Nick White at Epson UK said: “We are delighted to be working with both Calumet and aspect2i on a project that allows us to help develop photography skills throughout the UK. The goal of the Epson Print Academy is to provide both an educational and inspirational forum for photo enthusiasts and working pros alike, to interact with some of the most knowledgeable professionals in the field.”

“Print Academy attendees receive instruction and insight into how they can get the most out of the latest digital imaging workflow tools to dramatically advance their printmaking skills. This collaboration will allow us to extend the opportunity for photographers at all levels around the UK to enhance their skills.”

The perfect black and white print

CANON ADVERTORIAL

Charlie Hamilton James Wildlife filmmaker, presenter and photographer As a wildlife photographer I use long lenses a lot and I’m always more than happy to try them out when Canon let me test one in the field.

I own an ancient 500mm f4. I bought it years ago when I was leaving for a long trip to the Serengeti to film hyenas.

It was kind of the perfect lens length for an African safari and did me proud. It was and still is a great lens, able to hold its own against more modern lenses with sharpness and speed of focus.

Well that’s what I thought, until I stuck the new 400mm on my camera. The results blew me away. Whereas my old 500 is sharp, the 400 is something else.

My first outing with the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM was a trip to Shetland. I love Shetland, it is one of my favourite places on earth. I moved there in my early twenties to photograph otters and many years later I still make at least one annual pilgrimage to shoot stills or movies of otters.

There’s something very special about the light and

10

landscape of Shetland. The sea is present in almost every vista and the lack of trees make for a barren but hypnotic landscape. In the winter the sun barely rises, meaning stunning sunset light at lunchtime and in the summer it rarely sets; meaning you can pretty much shoot all night.

The otter watching in Shetland is as good as it gets. The almost fiord like cut of the coastline is perfect otter habitat - shallow inlets with dense kelp bed, the places where otters hunt for small fish.

As a photographer with kit, I spend my time in Shetland sneaking along the top of the beaches, tight up against the bottom of the cliffs or peat banks, hiding my silhouette from otters; so I can spot them with my binoculars before they spot me. I carry a back pack with a few bits in it and generally have a tripod slung over my shoulder with a camera and long lens attached.

October is generally wet and windy and cold, but last year it was warm and dry. I was out shooting a promo for a

movie but took the 400mm and my stills kit with me, in case I had a free moment to do the thing I prefer to everything else - shoot stills of otters.

The first thing that struck me about the new 400mm was the lens cap. Canon has replaced the old style floppy leather hood thing with a much smaller and neater canvas one. For those who own a Canon long lens, you’ll know what I’m talking about! The new one is great; you just pull the Velcro tap and whip it off. The other thing I noticed was the size, the new 400mm is smaller and much lighter than the old one (28% weight reduction according to Canon!).

2.8 is a very big ask of such a long lens but it never ceases to amaze me how camera and lens manufacturers seem to be able to cram these optics into increasingly smaller bodies, while at the same time improving optics and making the whole thing lighter. The EF 400mm f/2.8 has gone through a complete redesign and seems to be the supreme pinnacle of this innovation drive.

of individual otters and the EF 70-200 zoom was nice for wider shots with landscape behind. The 400mm was kind of the ideal though; it allowed me to have more than one otter in frame and also allowed a bit of background behind the otters - a bit of context. One thing I’ve realised working for National Geographic Magazine is that I can’t just shoot big close up or wides, the bits in between are just as important.

Shooting stories on stills cameras is not dissimilar to shooting movies. As a cameraman my job is to cover a story from different angles and different lens lengths so that the editor can cut a sequence. It’s the same when shooting stills the picture editor needs to be able to tell a story and that requires an equally diverse range of shots.

When I got my few moments off filming it didn’t take me long to find an otter (it never takes long in Shetland). It was a very healthy and chunky adult male. I picked it up swimming down the coastline towards me and immediately crouched down next to a large rock so it didn’t see me. Luckily the sun was just beginning to peer out from behind the clouds and was casting a warm evening glow across the sea. The otter swam right over towards me and as it reached the coastline just beneath me it climbed out on a rock for a sniff about. I wasn’t sure whether to shoot AF or manual. Otters are a real pain to shoot in auto as often the lens will focus on the end of their noses and leave their eyes slightly blunt. I was supposed to be trying this lens out though so I put it on auto and hoped for the best. No problem. The lens was finding focus on the head and keeping it nice and sharp and for the few brief seconds the otter was on the rock I managed to grab a couple of nice portraits of him.

I snuck a look on the camera screen and they looked sharp, it wasn’t until I got home and stuck them on the computer that I realised just how sharp. ‘Pin’ doesn’t seem to do it justice, lots of lenses are ‘pin’ this thing was sharper, ‘needle’ perhaps. Unbelievable anyway and not just that, it has a kind of clinical definition to it borne of a beautiful union between sharpness and contrast. As a cameraman I work with all kinds of lenses and regularly throw them on collimators and check them out. Some are ‘dogs’ as we call them I the trade and others are just quality bits of kit. The EF 400mm f/2.8 is a quality bit of kit.

My plans with it weren’t over yet though. Shetland is vast, bright, open and shooting is pretty easy because of the

I was a complete convert to the Canon EF 400mm f2.8 after putting it through its paces. I’m heading back out to Peru soon for another go at the otters and will make sure it’s in my bag!

amount of light available. My next trip would be the complete opposite.

The Amazon is a dark, almost claustrophobic place and light levels are endlessly a problem for photographers. I was there filming giant otters. Giant otters really do live up to their name; at up to 2.4 metres long, they are the largest of the world’s otters. The location I was working was an oxbow lake deep in the Peruvian Amazon. The otters are used to people because they see them during the tourist season but I tend not to try and get too close as I don’t want to disturb them. I was keen to see how the Canon EF400 mm would cope not only with the low light but also with the 1.4x converter. The joy of modern DSLRs is that you can shoot high ISO, which makes photography a lot easier in dark locations like the Amazon. I shoot with an EOS-1D Mark IV which is stunning at high ISO - I regularly shoot at 1600. So putting the 1.4x on a lens that is wide open at 2.8 makes a great combination and allows easily enough light to work with.

Otters move very fast in the water and I was working on a moving boat, so I needed fast shutter speeds. When I started shooting them with this combo of lens, converter and high ISO I realised I could shoot speeds of 1000th to 2000th of a second; exactly what I needed for pin sharp images. The 1.4 x is a cracking bit of kit. It doesn’t hit the light levels too hard and it is pin sharp with the 400 mm. I spent quite some time shooting the otters with the 400mm and got some nice stuff. What I really wanted from the 400mm was to capture more than one otter in a frame.

Giant otters live in family groups and move about together.

The EF 800mm I had on board was great for big close ups

FOCUS ON IMAGING

Focus on Imaging 2012 this spring was characterised by the launch of a raft of new products from the biggest names in imaging.

Canon announced the EOS-5D Mk III (see page 8) just hours before Focus began.

PocketWizard demonstrated the new Plus III radio trigger with 32 standard channels, quad zone triggering and easy to use operation allows for more elaborate lighting set-ups.

Bowens launched the Limelite brand with two new products for the videography and broadcast – the M7 7" HD Field Monitor and Mosaic 30cm2 LED Panel alongside an impressive display of their existing lighting portfolio.

703-195C £129.00

321-575A £2999.00 VB1600UK £330.00

Nikon was rightly boasting about its ground-breaking 36 megapixel D800 alongside the impressive D4 (see page 12).

But it wasn’t just digital product causing a buzz, Ilford’s popular TiTAN 4x5" Pinhole Camera also drew the crowds, proving film is still very much in demand. See our full film listing on page 63.

355-485A £4799.00

136-999Z £150.00 VB1000UK £1074.00

355-495A £2399.00

The Olympus OM-D and Fujifilm X-Pro1 (see page 22) also attracted a huge amount of attention – again both being seen first at Focus 2012.

Epson brought their new SureLab SL-D3000 digital dry lab for its first public demonstration anywhere in the world.

Printing on glossy, matte and lustre media up to 12" wide with 1400x1400dpi using Epson’s six colour UltraChrome D6 ink-set. Pricing to be confirmed.

Focus is not just about new and exciting products.

Many of the exhibitors at this year’s Show presented an awe-inspiring array of talks, seminars and demonstrations on a dizzying range of subjects.

This year’s show was attended by 37, 684 individual visitors which made for a very busy show floor across all of the four days, created a real buzz of activity and with it an infectious atmosphere, we’re looking forward to Focus-On-Imaging 2013 already!

A Good Reason to Follow Calumet on Twitter In January we offered 1 special place amongst 99 other guests to join Calumet at London Fashion Weekend courtesy of Canon through Calumet’s Twitter feed.

Freelance photographer Tamara Kwan of Stroud, Gloucs retweeted “I’d like to win a ticket to LFW on Sat 25 Feb courtesy of @CalumetPhotoUK and @CanonUKandIE #CalumetCanonLFW” and was drawn from over 100 retweeters for the special prize.

Thankyou very much for giving me the opportunity to be a photographer at London Fashion Weekend, I had never even attended a fashion show before let alone been able to photograph one, and I really enjoyed the experience.

James Larkin

Tammy took home a goodie bag from Calumet, a further goodie bag from Canon, free lens rental for the day, enjoyed lunch at Somerset House and received one to one advice from Hin Pang of Canon on how to get the best from the lens as well as access to the runway shoot.

I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to attend LFW last week. I had a great time and have what I consider to be some beautiful images to add to my portfolio. Other than cropping in my editing software there was very little I needed to do. It was an experience I would like to do again sometime.

Please could you also thank Frankie and Hin from Canon for me.

Disabled Photographers are ‘On The Move’

Certon Competition Winners

Calumet are very proud to support Mobility Choice with their first photography competition On The Move in collaboration with the Disabled Photographers’ Society.

We welcomed the winners Nigel Holland of Wellingborough, who won the 18+ category and 17 year old Henry Butt of Peterborough to Calumet Drummond Street for a presentation by Mary Walker of Mary Walker Exhibitions.

We ran a fantastic competition to win one of three Certon data storage systems. We had a record number of entrants, correctly answering the question “What does RAID stand for? with “Redundant array of independent disks” being the answer.

The winning and shortlisted entries were exhibited in Drummond Street for 4 weeks and were also on display at Focus on Imaging in March.

We drew the three lucky winners and they were all presented with their prizes in their local store.

Angela Taylor was presented with third prize, a DataROCK and Thomas Uhde took the second place prize of a MyRaid. Neil Macbeth won our first prize of a SmartRAID storage system worth over £1,400.

Dates for your Diary Following on from the great success of our Autumn Open Days, we will shortly be holding our Spring events.

Join us at your local store for exclusive promotions and offers, free sensor cleaning*, product demonstrations and experts from all your favourite brands, as well as seminars at Manchester and Drummond Street stores.

Gitzo Systematic

Absolute Perfection

Systematic is Gitzo’s top of the range tripod family, the choice of exacting professional photographers who use long lenses and heavy cameras.

Not only are Systematic Gitzo’s strongest and most stable tripods, they’re also modular, with a top casting element that opens and closes to allow each tripod to be configured with a flat disk, geared or sliding centre column, video half-ball adaptor, levelling unit or other specialised centre component.

New construction and bonding techniques have almost doubled maximum payloads by distributing weight more efficiently to the 6X carbon fibre legs, which also feature the G-Lock system for greater power and ease of leg section locking.

Systematic - the pinnacle of Gitzo technology, craftsmanship and quality.

PHOTOGRAPHER SPOTLIGHT

‘I must have done a thousand shoots before I ever dared call myself a professional photographer’

Gary Moyes ‘I am not a businessman. I am a photographer’ The great charm of all power is modesty – according to American novelist Louisa May Alcott. And despite the fact that leading London film stills and portrait photographer Gary Moyes almost certainly hasn’t recently been studying that writer’s best known work (Little Women) the sentiments of the axiom fit him like a glove.

He’s 46 and married with two children. He’s quite content to play second fiddle in the domestic income stakes to his TV producer wife Helen – whom he declares probably earns twice as much as he does.

He tells Focus quite candidly that he’s ‘no businessman’; “I am not good at negotiating better rates and fees for myself. I find that very hard to do – I really need an agent.

To be honest all I want to do is take pictures.”

34

Despite a well-established business and a flourishing portfolio of widely acclaimed work that includes insightful portraits of many prominent actors and celebrities, he confesses: “I really admire people like David Bailey who could be right there in the face of his sitters and scream and shout and make demands of them. It was a tactic that worked very well for him of course – but that’s just not my way. I am unobtrusive in my style. I am just happy to let things unfold naturally.”

“Some photographers will rock up at a shoot with three or four assistants and a van full of lighting gear - when in truth, all they probably need is a softbox. My location shoot inventory might comprise a couple of Elinchrom heads, a spill kill reflector or two and softboxes. I’ll get most of it under my clothes in a suitcase!”

In fact this self-effacing shooter admits he only ever took up photography in the first place because the coolest kid at his school was a camera fan. “This boy was the one all the girls wanted to be with and he wandered about shooting pictures all the time.”

“It followed that if photography had the power to attract the opposite sex like that then it was definitely something I should be interested in.”

Ask about qualifications and Gary won’t tell you that he passed at A-Level – he’ll confess that he almost failed.

He got into Bournemouth College and exited with an HND (a proper qualification that even he couldn’t talk down).

He made some calls when he arrived in London and ended up spending two years working with top

photographer Martin Black.

“The first thing Martin did was to hand me a Leica with an instruction to load it. This proved to be a bit embarrassing and I fumbled it badly because I had never held a Leica before.”

He adds: “But he was brilliant. I learnt more in two weeks assisting than ever I did from five years at college.”

And after being paid £250 by Country Living Magazine for a set of pictures he shot in the New Forest he was on his way.

“I discovered that I really enjoyed the photo- process” he says. “The thing about photography is that it’s all down to

you. You don’t have to rely on anyone else. You do it all.

You get the camera, take the picture and hopefully you sell it – and perhaps pick up a byline or two along the way. “

“It is obvious that there isn’t too much point in shooting film when clients all want files and disks – and it is a fact that the first generation is coming through who have never shot film - but learning that film process and having a chance to soak up that history and be familiar with the reek of the darkroom chemicals all have a role to play in a photographer’s education.”

And despite the ‘digital tsunami’ Gary believes that traditional darkroom skills should never be lost or forgotten.

He tells Focus: “When I first started taking pictures with film cameras part of that workflow was the processing itself. I really believe that even now in these heady days of megapixel digital capture every young photographer coming into the business should have a basic grasp and understanding of the world of silver halide.”

“People just don’t learn the craft of photography now.

You can’t just sign up for a weekend course on studio photography and walk away on the Monday calling yourself a photographer. I must have done a thousand shoots before I ever dared to wear that badge!”

Gary used to shoot with a medium format Hasselblad film

camera but made the switch to 35mm Nikon when he ‘went digital’. “I thought the quality was really good and stuck with Nikon for a long time. But now I’ve moved to the Canon platform with its EOS 5D Mark II. It does all I ask of it.”

Of course the EOS 5D Mark II was a camera built with convergence in mind and Gary also uses it to shoot video ‘chats’ for clients. “There is no doubt that convergence is where we are all headed” he says. “I think it is hard to do both – but these days it’s part of the job description.”

Gary made the break into film stills for TV (including The BBC, Channel Five and Fox) after winning commissions at The Radio Times.

He notes: “For the stills brief a publicist will sit with the producer and work out days with key scenes. I was commissioned to shoot stills at the Christmas Downton Abbey special – they packed me off to the courtroom. The brief at these sessions is to shoot as much as possible, but to be honest it was just a very pleasant lazy day.

These aren’t hard shoots although you do have to learn to be politically aware and discretion is often your ally too.

You may have to deal with someone having an off-day.”

“And of course it is the stills photographer who happens to be the only person who can be thrown off the set and it not affect production! When it comes to equipment you don’t need lighting for stills – the kit is already in place.

But for ‘specials’ I light them myself.

And the pay?

“Shooting for film and TV isn’t particularly lucrative I’m afraid. There will be an editorial day rate but if it goes on a billboard or a DVD you’ll get additional fees.”

Gary also shoots a variety of studio portraits – Usain Bolt, Jack Dee and Pixie Lott have all recently posed for the Moyes lens.

And on location shoots key names like David Attenborough, Jonathan Dimbleby, Sharon Osbourne and Bono are on the file.

And then there is Comic Relief.

“I’ve been working with Comic Relief or over a decade now” he enthuses, “I’ve been a customer at Calumet (in all its previous guises) for a quarter of a century now.

They have been very generous over the years with product for my charity work.

Comic Relief is a really a very emotional time for me. It’s all extremely profound. I go to places in the world that even the toughest traveller might not care to venture into.

I was in Africa’s biggest slum in Kiberia with Simon Cowell and Ant & Dec. And yes of course there is a paradox there.

Well-fed, luxury car driving, multi-millionaires posing with starving children – but I can square it all in my mind when I see the amount of money that the charity raises each year. It is truly phenomenal.”

Gary numbers Martin Black, Annie Leibovitz, David Bailey and Terry O’Neill as influential mentors.

He says: “Bailey is incredible. He once said ‘If I don’t get

the shot in ten minutes- what’s the point?’ When I turn up for a shoot I still don’t know what I am going to get – but I guess that is just part of the magic.”

Part of the challenge of being a freelancer of course is the inconsistent nature of the work schedule.

“Frankly I am amazed I am still working” he quips, “I just want to keep working and keep paying the bills. But I must admit it would be nice to know what I might be

hey, I have to tell you. I am happy.”

shooting (if anything) the week after next.

I’ve never wanted to be labelled as a cutting edge photographer – that’s a breed that doesn’t tend to be around too long. I don’t have major ambitions and I have already done a lot more than I ever thought I would.

Sometimes I wonder if I am actually the client’s first choice for the shoot – or perhaps the second or third?

There is a case that suggests I may lack ambition – but

Jack Benny once proclaimed; “Modesty is my best quality.”

Gary Moyes might share the same assessment...but others will look at the quality of his work and conclude that he’s also pretty damned good at capturing the moment. www.garymoyes.co.uk

BOWENS

BOWENS GEMINI PRO KITS The Gemini Pro range delivers more power and faster flash-durations making it the perfect portable flash system for fashion or commercial photographers.

If you need to capture action, then the Pro range is for you. These appeal to photographers buying studio lighting for the first time as well as photographers looking for exceptional value for money. Typical two head kits include two Gemini monolights with two Bowens lighting support stands. To control the light we include a Softbox and a silver/white umbrella, together with a wide-angle umbrella reflectors.

In Bowen's experience, this creates a very easy-to-use and effective two-light setup. The umbrellas are perfect for portraiture and many still-life applications - the black cover can be removed allowing you to fire the light through the umbrella like a softbox.

NOW SHIPPING WITH PULSAR Tx!

PRO 1500 PRO 1000 PRO 750 PRO 500

All Bowens two head, three head and Travelpak kits are now shipping with the Bowens Pulsar Tx Kit as standard. The ultra-compact transmitter with its discreet ‘camera-hugging’ low profile ensures that photographers can shoot comfortably without their camera being unbalanced by unwieldy attachments.

The Tx is controlled by just two simple push buttons allowing full control over the 24 radio zones and the flash test function. Channel and studio selections are indicated by a row of LED’s. Weighing in at just 34g the Pulsar Tx is the smallest and most robust radio trigger in its class. Includes Rx receiver card.

TAKE A VIEW

Landscape shooter Simon picks up our Calumet ‘This is Britain’ Award – with a little help from Captain Cook

Britain’s iconic explorer Captain James Cook once called the picturesque North Yorkshire seaside village of Staithes his home. And now, over three hundred years later, it’s making news again.

The compelling twilight beauty of this quaint fishing village was captured last spring by East-Yorkshire-based photographer Simon Atkinson – and now it has won him a major award in the prestigious Take a View, Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards - founded by top landscape photographer and lecturer Charlie Waite. The annual competition boasts £20,000 worth of prizes for photographers who submit the best pictures celebrating the rich diversity of the British landscape.

Simon, 22, picked up the Calumet special ‘This is Britain’ category award after following the brief to produce an image that: ‘sums up the spirit and landscape of Britain in 2011.’

He told Focus: “I am absolutely delighted with this win. I am in awe of work created by landscape photographers like Charlie Waite and Joe Cornish. Landscape photography can be a very lonely, testing and frustrating enterprise but when I need extra motivation to carry on I just go to their websites and revel in the work they produce!”

But Simon, who only started taking photographs three years ago and is completely self-taught (He gains knowledge simply by soaking up ‘technique’ magazines and studies photography on YouTube) has no qualms about going the extra mile (quite literally) to get the image he needs.

Said Calumet marketing executive Sian Hamer:

“Of all the entries we studied Simon’s photograph really stood out. We are working on a plan to exhibit examples of his work in one or more of our stores this year.”

“Last spring I went to the Isle of Skye to photograph The Storr – a famous and desolate rocky hill. I hiked up there at 4 am. It was pitch black and I was hoping for a fantastic sunrise. But when I got to the top I found myself stranded in thick fog. I sat in the freezing cold for three hours hoping it would clear. It is at times like that that you think: “What am I doing here?”

Simon’s winning shot of Staithes was spared fog issues – but the shoot wasn’t without its own challenges.

He explained: “I really wanted to capture the village at twilight – just as lights were going on but while there was

still colour in the sky. I spent hours scouting the entire village and decided that this viewpoint was the best – but my tripod was sited quite precariously right on the edge of the cliff.”

“My modus operandi is to walk the area with my camera (a Canon EOS 5D Mark I plus 17-40mm lens and various filters) composing the images I want through the viewfinder. When I am satisfied with the composition I set up the Manfrotto tripod and run some test shots. The winning photograph was a long exposure – over two minutes. I shoot RAW so with all that file information all I need to do is adjust exposure, brightness and contrast from time to time; perhaps sharpen an image here and there and occasionally I may crop – but that is all!”

The photograph has won Simon considerable prestige (He is now being asked to speak at an assortment of photo-gatherings, including Leeds Photographic Society) and £500 worth of Calumet vouchers.

He added: “Calumet is a favourite photo-haunt of mine.

And I redeemed these vouchers as soon as I won. I am now the proud owner of a brand new 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens.”

Now Simon, who dropped out of an engineering course at university, then tried to join the RAF - but a recessionary block on recruitment put a stop to that ambition currently works as a butcher at Morrisons.

He said: “I am now starting to sell my work from my website (www.simonatkinsonphotography.co.uk) and I am looking for exhibition opportunities.

I just need to be sure I can make enough money from photography to enable me to turn pro. I love landscape shooting but I realise I may have to branch into portraiture to help pay the bills.”

TANDEM EDUCATION COURSE A

Now Calumet can help you qualify to HNC/HND level

Introduction to professional digital photography Course code TE4A020512 Starts Saturdays from May and Thursdays from October 2012 Introduction to professional photo techniques, post production skills and the relationship of the history of photography to the profession today.

Students will explore the equipment and practical photographic and postproduction skills used in today’s photo imaging industry while comparing and relating them to the development of photography.

COURSE B

In what is believed to be a first for the industry Calumet is linking with Tandem Education – the private provider of vocational higher education qualifications to offer photographers a unique opportunity to attain HNC/HND in photography qualifications.

Following months of talks the new highly flexible ‘Photo-College’ courses will launch at our flagship Drummond Street, Euston store in May.

Studio and management skills

recognised HNC/HND qualification at the end of it – a qualification recognised not just by employers but also by universities.”

Course code TE4B02C1012 Starts Saturdays from October 2012

A key driver with the programme is flexibility.

Added the spokesman: “Students can come to Calumet for say one day a week for twenty weeks and they can then continue the course with online distance learning. If a student happened to live a long way away it would be possible for him/her to spend less time in the college environment and more time working from home.”

Sian Hamer, Calumet’s marketing executive told Focus: “Education has always been a priority for us. This is ‘We believe this ‘Photo-College’ evident in our ongoing “We work in a different way programme is an industry first’ seminar/workshop to colleges and universities.

Tandem Education programmes and our We can be more flexible commitment to enable because we are catering for customers through comprehensive product knowledge smaller groups who can easily embrace our ‘blend of before they buy or rent from us. But now we are taking learning’ principles – our exclusive mix of onsite and things to a new level. This is a giant leap forward to help distance learning. our photographer customers gain internationally accepted To do this we have employed a pool of academically vocational qualifications within a brand new and highly qualified working professional photographers who will flexible framework. lecture to a set and strict curriculum.”

Under the pioneering scheme students on the courses will The courses – which will have no more than 12 students have access to state of the art Calumet rental equipment on each one – is aimed at both undergraduate and mature as required, including usage of latest high-tech computers students who may have no formal qualification in with high-end monitors. photography.

Added the spokesman: “Our courses will be hands-on – not just working at the Calumet location but also with professional photographers who have premises around London.

COURSE C

Professional photographic specialism Course code TE5C02C313 Starts Saturdays from March 2013 During this course industry specialists will augment our higher education lecturers to deliver content on a number of specialist areas of professional digital photography such as advertising, photojournalism & location photography, these may change to react to current industry requirements.

There is also a section on managing a creative business that will be directly linked to this specialism to support both the employability and the entrepreneurship of starting in the industry.

COURSE D

It means that people do not have to commit to five days a week of university time but instead attend onsite for a day a week for ten weeks, or twenty weeks according to their commitments. They can study in segments of 60 credits – a full HNC is 120 credits. It means that nobody has to give up work to gain a real and internationally valid qualification. This course will also suit those who may already have degrees in other disciplines, like accountancy – but who are looking to switch to a new career in the creativity sector.”

A spokesman from Tandem Education explained: “The idea is simple. Anyone who wishes to gain a serious vocational qualification in photography can sign up to one of our courses. These are not training sessions. This will not be like attending a one day seminar on Photoshop. Students will be studying to attain a Level 4/5 higher education qualification.

During delivery of this course with the support of industry specialists, students will acquire and the necessary photographic, digital and business skills to work in and run a professional photographic studio.

This will also include the development of the appropriate skills and knowledge to run and work in a studio environment including the necessary business elements.

A 120 credit course (full HNC) will cost a total of £3,192.00 Inc VAT. A 60 credit course ( half an HNC) costs £1,596.00 inc VAT (excluding exam fee of around £190)

Creating & exhibiting your own project Course code TE5D02C1013 Starts Saturdays from July 2013 This is a student led project where each individual, designs and completes, with tutor support, a project in their specialist area and exhibits online and in a gallery both individually and as a group . Students will be expected to source sponsorship for and market the final exhibition.

There will be tuition from higher education lecturers and industry experts on exhibition curating, online gallery creation and website design, to support the learners' experience.

At a glance the Sun-Mover looks like an ordinary pop-up reflector but the two ergonomically shaped handlebars are also used to provide perfect light control. Bending the reflector towards yourself and the light will be bundled like a spotlight, bending the face outwards creates scattered, soft light. The plane reflection face allows normal light.

It’s oval space ensures the material remains tense at all times for a perfectly smooth surface.

The Canon EOS Cinema C300 – another star is rising Astute photographers like James Vellacott saw the ‘game changing’ potential for HD Video as soon as the Canon EOS-5D Mark II arrived. Now the introduction of the bespoke EOS-C300 has now taken everything to the next level.

Here’s the thing about technology. Sometimes it moves so fast it can simply leave people behind.

The trick is to see what’s new, to understand the potential and then to be brave enough to dive in before everyone else to get a lead in a new and emerging market. It’s expensive, risky and you have to trust your instincts implicitly, but if you get things right you get a head start and reap all the benefits of being a true trailblazer.

very first people in the country to take delivery from Calumet of the potentially game changing new Canon EOS Cinema C300, and yet again he’s tingling with excitement at the thought of what this extraordinary new hybrid camera can do for his business.

cuts out at any point.”

“Another huge plus is that it has built-in ND filters which can be introduced in two-stop increments, and it means that if I’m shooting in the studio with my powerful HMI lights I can cut down the light by up to six stops at the press of a button, meaning that I can then take full advantage of the wide f-stops on Canon prime lenses I’m using, such as the 85mm f/1.2. The EOS-5D Mark II requires a separate matte box with slots for filters or screw-in filters to achieve the same thing, and it’s much less user-friendly. It’s very feasible for one person to use the EOS-C300 and still get great footage, and that makes a huge difference for us.”

Here’s the thing about technology. Sometimes it moves so fast it can simply leave people behind.

The trick is to see what’s new, to understand the potential and then to be brave enough to dive in before everyone else to get a lead in a new and emerging market. It’s expensive, risky and you have to trust your instincts implicitly, but if you get things right you get a head start and reap all the benefits of being a true trailblazer.

Few people demonstrate more clearly this principle in action than James Vellacott. Four years ago he was a staff photographer for the Daily Mirror thoroughly enjoying the thrills and spills that came with the job.

These days he’s better known for his video production skills, working for a huge variety of clients out of 7,500 square feet of ‘Cherry Duck’ studio space located next door to Tower Bridge.

James changed his career around after being one of the first photographers in the country to get his hands on the Canon EOS-5D Mark II. He saw immediately the value of the camera’s on-board HD video facility and from that point on he dedicated himself to finding out as much as he could about this new area of the business. Now he’s one of the

All of this and the new camera is still compatible with the full range of Canon EF lenses and it gives James a massive choice and the facility to fit a specialist optic such as a fisheye or a tilt & shift for a special effect that might be required.

“If someone at Canon had specifically looked at my operation and had decided to put together a camera that would perfectly suit all of our needs, they couldn’t have done a better job,” he says. “Good though the EOS-5D Mark II has been it’s still a compromise to use it as a professional HD Video camera, and you need a full bag of toys in the form of accessories such as matte boxes, rigs and off-camera sound recorders to get it to work efficiently, and even then it’s invariably a two man job to operate it.”

“I’ve ordered two of these cameras from Calumet and they’ve been really supportive in terms of supply and the follow up service,” says James. “I’ve had a great relationship with them ever since I set up my video production business. It’s great to have someone behind you like that who you know will always go the extra mile for you.”

“The EOS-C300 is a dedicated cinematographer’s camera and it really does show. For a start it’s really easy to operate and even someone who’s not shot video before can take it out and produce decent footage after a ten-minute demonstration. It’s fully capable of delivering on-board sound from off-camera microphones, and even the on-board microphone is usable if one of the other mics

The importance of Calibration The true colours of an image are embedded in the image file, however, the monitor is the window through which that image can be viewed.

Functioning as a display and as an editing canvas, it takes a major role in digital photography. The most important step towards colour authentic images is therefore to ensure a correct display of colours on the monitor is by calibrating it. That means, a sensor is being put on it and a software application is being run. Within minutes it measures the colours the way the monitor displays them and compares them to what they are supposed to be.

Whatever the differences are, they are being saved as corrective values and written into a file, the monitor profile. From now on, the computer will use this profile to display images on the screen, thereby correcting the colours. Since the display will change and the monitor will become less bright over time, this calibration needs to be repeated regularly. Now the most important step has been taken: No matter where the images are being sent off to later on, the calibrated screen can be relied on as having displayed them in their true colours.

RENTAL

On your marks. Get set. Rent.

Photojournalists with a brief to capture Usain Bolt in the 100 metres final are going to have to be very quick - they’ll have less than ten seconds.

“It may still seem some way off”, says London rental manager Simon Browitt. “But this summer’s events are creeping up fast and we are expecting things to get very busy around here as the start approaches. Photographers who know they are going to need to hire equipment really should get on the phone to us without delay – to make quite sure they get what they need on time.”

He adds: “We are looking at all our stock levels and particularly at pro lenses; long lenses, short range zoom lenses, DSLRs including the D4 and EOS-5D Mark III. We are making sure we are prepared for what we are expecting to be a very busy summer.”

‘Think of us as a rental one-stop shop’

‘Photographers who will need to hire equipment this summer really should get on the phone to us without delay.’

Says Simon: “Photographers want it all from one location; one order, one quote - and delivered at the point they need it for the shoot. In the majority of cases we can accommodate their needs. And similarly with ‘cross border’ assignments. Why take a flight case with a 600mm lens on a plane and risk losing it through baggage handling? Just call us, book it in advance and collect when required.”

I just don’t see the point of having a very expensive set of tools sitting there depreciating when you can just rent the kit from Calumet so easily.”

Leading corporate, commercial and celebrity photographer Chris Bissell adds: “Calumet Rental provides a truly world-class service and it’s perfect for photographers like me.

Calumet offers customers an exclusive ‘Try Before You Buy’ option. Customers who hire equipment for at least a week and then decide to purchase the product within fourteen days of the rental will get a 50% refund of the week’s rental cost.

I like to travel light, so the idea of just picking up the kit at the other end really appeals. My cameras are my tools and

And the statistics reflect the swing to rental options.

Notes Simon: “We find that our customers needs are growing every year, with our rental department busier than ever. ”

www.calumetphoto.co.uk

Simon Browitt

Calumet already boasts a vast nationwide rental inventory and is making significant investment in stock for the rest of 2012.

Simon’s team has been planning to pull in stock from other branches across the UK and the company has run campaigns throughout Europe to urge press photographers covering UK events this summer to contact Calumet as their first port of call.

CALUMET DIRECT

Calumet Direct: It’s your call 08706 030303 “We actively try to contact new customers to inform them of imminent new lines that would be relevant to them. For example, the latest Canon and Nikon launches are the most exciting in years and our customers are keen to hear from us in this respect. We can expertly talk them through new features and benefits before they buy.”

The Calumet Direct team run things from their purpose-built ‘bunker’ below ground at the company’s flagship branch in Drummond Street, Euston, London.

The phones in the company’s ‘war room’ rarely rest – and that’s exactly how it should be, according to Paul Jablonski (29), supervisor, and aspirational photographer.

And what about plans for this summer’s events?

He tells Focus: “The Direct team is responsible for sales and queries that don’t happen face to face. As well as handling calls that come through our main direct number we also handle email queries from our website and our Amazon Marketplace and Ebay stores.

Says Paul: “We are completely ready for this unique challenge. The events this summer will mean that demand will be multiplied probably by a factor of ten or more. Some customers are waiting until much nearer the time, which is unusual – but the economy may have something to do with that.

From the daily getgo at 8a.m we are on the phones. A daily priority for me is to check emails and answer perhaps scores of queries that need attention. We are always busy.”

The direct team underpins Calumet’s strategy – to employ staff across the group who love the imaging business and share a common ambition - to help ensure customers always buy (or rent) the most appropriate product for their workflow.

Adds Paul: “We have people specifically trained in one area of the business. For example, part of my own strength would be talking to customers about DSLRs. Calumet has a massive and varied inventory but there is always someone who will have the knowledge to answer any specific question – and that is why customers love coming to us.

It’s not just about buying the box, it’s about the counsel and advice we can impart with that box.

We talk to each other all the time and we remain as impartial as it is possible to be when helping clients make their choices.

64

We do offer good finance options and personally I believe customers should take advantage of them now to get the stock they need. If they wait too long they may miss the boat.

Paul Jablonski

And it’s not just about the big-name brands like Canon and Nikon either. We have a strong line of great quality Calumet Own Brand products, so we can guarantee great prices for customers. And in tough times like these every penny counts.”

“The great thing about this company is its ability to constantly adapt, evolve and develop. We are always thinking of new ideas; and the most efficient ways of dealing with the business we have.

This team is on the frontline so it is absolutely imperative that we stay on top of every situation – and that includes every new product launch.

We are saying: ‘If you don’t have the money now we can work out finance options – but buy it now’.

How do we compare with our competitors?

Concludes Paul: “I have no doubt at all that as a team we have more knowledge than any other competitor in this sector. Our knowledge bank is a unique and priceless resource. And in the very rare cases where we don’t have an instant answer to a query, we will get that answer rapidly and call the client back.

Photographers out there love talking about the ‘geeky’ stuff. And the truth is: so do we.”

Keep your sensors clean at Calumet

When dust or other airborne particles land on your camera’s sensor, it wreaks havoc on all of your images. That’s why it’s important to have your sensor checked and cleaned on a regular basis.

To get the best performance from your equipment, we recommend that professional photographers have their camera sensors cleaned once a month and amateurs once every three months.

Sensor cleaning can be carried out on most models of DSLR’s – please check with your local store that your model is suitable. Please ensure that your camera is full charged when you bring your camera in for sensor cleaning.

With prices starting at only £36 for a partial sensor, ensure that your photographs are free of any imperfections. Speak to a member of staff in store for more information.

We offer a sensor cleaning service at our retail stores across the country. It will be cleaned by a fully trained member of staff and can offer a 24 hour service so that you don’t have to be without your camera for long.
