The year 2009 is now coming to a close, and it’s time to take a look back over the past 12 months through photographs. Historic elections were held in Iran, India and the United States, some wars wound down while others escalated, China turned 60, and the Berlin Wall was remembered 20 years after it came down. Each photo tells its own tale, weaving together into the larger story of 2009. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days.

An amazing assemble of photos taken during the past year (2009)!

I just simply lovit!

Some day it will be me that you present you with a original by my own of this kind of art!

This film will obviously make you smile.

A cheerful parking attendant considers it his job to do more than validate parking. He wants to validate the customers themselves, delivering compliments about their appearances and the inner qualities behind them. Everyone who comes up to him with a ticket walks away validated as a worthwhile human being. Soon, the parking attendant becomes so popular that people line up for validation. He appears on news broadcasts and even ends up validating George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein. His life hits a roadblock when he goes to the DMV to get his driver’s license photo taken and is met with a beautiful photographer whom he can’t get to smile. Written by J. Spurlin

I have a EF 50mm F1.8 II lens for my Canon 400D. I just love that (normal) bokeh.
Today, I saw at Newslaunches, this article about some bokeh filter. I never had saw that before! There where filters in shape of star, hearts and spirals (see pics above).

I started thinking and I decided imediatly to make my own bokeh filter!

I just draw a circle using the lens cap in an old Repsol card : )

With help of an 1€ coin I draw a circle, made an star, e cut it!
I placed my home made filter in front of the lens (like a regular filter).

I didn’t have the opportunity to test it more. I just went to my street and took a photo (a live in a small village, so don’t expect that many lights!!)

I didn’t used any tripod, so the image is a little blurred!

Tip: This was my first attempt to make a filter. I’m guessing that higher the distance between the filter and glass more accurate will be lights (at photo) to the shape of the filter.

From Richard Gale, mad maker of CRITICIZED, comes a film that will never have you looking at cutlery the same way again. Set-up as an epic-length trailer for an upcoming release, HORRIBLY SLOW… depicts a man’s endless pursuit by what has got to be one of the most determined and patient murderers the screen has ever seen. Screamingly funny stuff, this is the rare case where the shine of an inspired over-the-top title is actually matched by the genius of the film itself. Stars Paul Clemens, who many of you will remember from 1982’s THE BEAST WITHIN. Someone, get Gale funding for his feature. Now. [D-Man2010]

About
The Hunt For Gollum is an unofficial not for profit short film by a group of enthusiast filmmakers. As a Lord of the Rings Fan Film, we are not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate or New Line Cinema and are producing this project as an entirely non commercial film. As with other fan films we are making this purely for the enjoyment of the material and the experience of making a high quality low budget film.

I have not seen the movie yet, but for a kinda of amateur film is very good. The sound effects are very good. The only thing is missing is a good post production. A must see!

Note: choose HD definition. That will allow Portuguese subtitles (and maybe others..)
