For some thoughts on the Panasonic S1R and my ad hoc "test methodology", please click the image below.
I took test shots with four M-lenses with a Panasonic S1R: Leica 21mm, 28mm and 50mm Summilux and Zeiss 35mm Distagon ZM, all f/1.4 lenses, all at f/1.4. This is one of the test shots uploaded to Flickr.
All these are actual pixels at 100% magnification in Capture One. Most of these zoomed in views are from the corners. The panel on the right shows the stream of shots in full frame, with the current frame highlighted.
No artistic points for this, but the goal here was to see the corner sharpness. Absolutely no complaints!
I don't think the designers of this lens ever had a chance to test it on a whopping 47 MP sensor! The most they would have tested it on would have been 24 MP. My guess is, the designers of this lens must have felt very pleased with themselves when they first saw 47 MP images from this lens.

This performance was for LoveTechSF.com in San Francisco. It's a collection of artists and musicians that also contains a major component they call LearnTech, where artists and visualists present their setups and show their methodology in a workshop setting. As such, we've all learned a lot very quickly.
CSTNG-SHDWS is Colin Sebestyen and Justin Metros.
For this promo video, we are syncing to prerecorded Nonagon tracks, however, the performance was all live. Nonagon has a MAX patch that sends his monome and MIDI data to control Ableton live. We split this signal and used his data for our VDMX setups. Justin and I VJ in VDMX exclusively, however, our real focus is interactive and motion graphic design.
Nonagon (JB Kirby) is a brilliant guy, he programs AI during his days and makes soulful computer music at night. In working and discussing with him, we had a lot of creative discussions- sacred geometry, decay, math in the natural world and etc. His music was in progress for this show, and we designed visual packs that he could approve and give influence to his sonic landscapes.
We typically design and sketch out our ideas, and then design in Cinema 4D and After Effects for our motion loops. For a final round of approval, we typically create polished motion loops, and then remove as many of the extraneous effects as possible so we can recreate and control the effects live using effects chains in VDMX.
Justin has a programing background, so we have messed with programatic visualism (Quartz, Flash, etc) however, we have found that the design sensibility typically suffers as opposed to a loop based approach.
There are three tracks in this promo... the live show was much longer, about 10 tracks or 45 minutes. We had a live vocalist in Angie Donkin and her violinist. They had both worked with Nonagon- The violinist we could not glean any data off of, so our data inputs were nonagon's MIDI feed and of course, the live audio levels. The violinist, however, had effect pedals that he utilized and added a beautiful organic feel over the whole set.
There are three tracks represented in the promo - First, "Fixed Action Pattern"- in which Justin and myself researched as much about geometry and nonagons, specifically. We looked at the number nine and it's representation in the natural world as much as we could. We used 9 as our random seed in our flocking simulations, generated nonagons in dozens of configurations.
For "Mr Sniggles House", we used timelapse to capture an overhead projector with various natural live detritus occluding the light beams- feeder crickets, worms, beta fish, all acquired at the local pet store (and returned to nature when their staring roles concluded) and also created a live font using address stencils.
For "Kontrol (I wish you were here)" We worked with Nonagon + Angie and created projection mapped scenes of original photography of tokyo and spain. Using a live font we created for a corporate job! (check out hopebeyondthehype.com) we visualized the loss, yearning, and emotion in the song.
We mixed using a standard V4 Video mixer and projected. It was a bunch of work, but also satisfying in the crowd response.

For some thoughts on the Panasonic S1R and my ad hoc "test methodology", please click the top image below.
I took test shots with four M-lenses with a Panasonic S1R: Leica 21mm, 28mm and 50mm Summilux and Zeiss 35mm Distagon ZM, all f/1.4 lenses, all at f/1.4. This is one of the test shots uploaded to Flickr.
All these are actual pixels at 100% magnification in Capture One. Most of these zoomed in views are from the corners. The panel on the right shows the stream of shots in full frame, with the current frame highlighted.
This is similar to the previous shot, only bottom right corner, to test the symmetry in my lens.
Again, this is good stuff! Wide open at f/1.4, at the extreme corner, on a 47 MP sensor. No complaints at all!
Mohammed Arif Vakil
Age : 39
Hobbies : Sketching, illustration, reading, writing
Mohammed Arif Vakil was raised in Dubai. He is trained Chartered Accountant from London, UK and has worked with KPMG in Dubai before taking the role of director at Vakil Hhousing. He is also a director at Calm Achiever and a master trainer in Getting Things done Methodology. He co-authored Sufi comics : Rumi, 40 Sufi comics and The Wise Fool of Baghdad.
Arif is a family person, he has got 2 children. He is a passionate public speaker, who holds a keen interest in the area of education. He is also the co-founder and trustee of ILM Montessori. About his family he says “whatever extra time I have I try to spend maximum time with my family. Actually I should say reverse that I spend time with my family, and whatever extra time I have left, I work.”
When asked about Ramadan and his connection towards it he says "God says, 'this is my month, I am the host, and you are my guests. Come! I invite you to my feast'." He also narrated one of the poems of Rumi from his book. This poetry was about fasting. It says:
There’s a hidden sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness,
We are lutes, no more, no less
If the sound box is stuffed full of anything, no music
If the brain and belly are burning clean with fasting
every moment a new song comes out of the fire
The fog clears and a new energy makes you run up the steps in front of you.
Be emptier and cry like reed instruments cry
Emptier, write secrets with the reed pen.
When you are full of food and drink,
Satan sits where your spirit should
An ugly metal statue is in place of the Kaaba
When you fast, good habits gather like friends who want to help
Fasting is Solomon’s ring.
Don’t give it to some illusion and lose your power
But even if you’ve lost all will and control,
they come back when you fast,
like soldiers appearing out of the ground
pennants flying above them
A table descends to your tent, Jesus’ table
Expect to see it, when you fast, this table spread with other food
better than the broth of cabbages.
-Rumi
He adds “There is something very special about Ramazan. I don’t have any top of the mind, clear thoughts to share, but truly this Ramazan I felt overly emotional than any other Ramazans, maybe that’s the case with every Ramazan, I don’t know. There is an instant expansion that I feel, when Ramazan is here. The whole routine is shaken up, you wake up early in the morning, your body is not ready to take food at the time, but still you have something and go on with the day. But internally there is a sense of peace, and God consciousness, and God presence. Your inner senses are heightened to such a state, perhaps like people who have gone through long periods of meditation. You become a third person and you start observing your thoughts, your emotions, from a viewpoint that you would not normally do, because in routine you are constantly stuck in this race. During this time you tell yourself ‘ok, hold on, now what do I do’ you start talking to yourself, asking yourself questions. It is in this month that your body is asleep, and the spirit is awake. I like listening to a lot of spiritual lectures and ask myself ‘why am I here, what’s my purpose, where am I going.’ When I look back at my life say 30-40 years from now, how can say that I have lived a meaningful life, fulfilled my purpose and given a meaningful life to those around me.”
Justin Bieber blocks One Direction from making a return trip to No. 1 on Billboard’s Social 50 chart, as he keeps the British/Irish group at bay at No. 2 for a third straight week.
The Social 50 chart ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Wikipedia, Myspace and Instagram. The chart’s methodology blends weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with artist pageviews, song plays and reactions.
The Social 50’s No. 1 slot isn’t the only title Bieber denied One Direction from earning in the past seven days. During the chart week, One Direction — in a widely-socialized stunt — encouraged fans to watch their new music video for “Kiss You” in the hopes of breaking VEVO’s one-day view count record. However, the group fell just short of the record, held by — you guessed it — Justin Bieber.
According to VEVO, with 10.4 million views in 24 hours ending on Jan. 8, “Kiss You” just missed breaking the record held by Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat” (10.6 million views on Oct. 13, 2012).
Fueling the record attempt was One Direction’s Niall Horan, who Tweeted on Jan. 8, “#kissyouonvevo #letsbreak11million!,” hours before the 24-hour mark ended, rallying fans to watch (and rewatch) “Kiss You.” The track, though not yet officially promoted to U.S. radio stations, has re-entered at No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week.
It has sold 207,000 digital downloads to date in the U.S., according to Nielsen Soundscan.
The Justin Bieber vs. One Direction VEVO rivalry began back in May of 2012, when Bieber’s “Boyfriend” took the VEVO 24-hour record from Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been.” Then on Sept. 27, One Direction’s “Live While We’re Young” squeaked past Bieber’s record with 8.34 million in a day, only to be passed by Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat” (featuring Nicki Minaj) once again a month later.
Check out the timeline below for a history of VEVO 24-hour view record holders starting in 2012:
Jan. 21, 2012 - Nicki Minaj, “Stupid Hoe” - 4.8 million views
May 1, 2012 - Rihanna, “Where Have You Been” - 4.9 million views
May 4, 2012 - Justin Bieber, “Boyfriend” - 8 million views
Sept. 21, 2012 - One Direction, “Live While We’re Young” - 8.34 million views
Oct. 13, 2012 - Justin Bieber featuring Nicki Minaj, “Beauty and a Beat” - 10.6 million views
Despite all of the VEVO-related buzz, One Direction holds at No. 2 on the Social 50 chart despite a 34% gain in weekly activity to their VEVO channel, with “Kiss You’s” success and preceding teaser videos earning a whopping 38 million views during the week. A 15% rise in Facebook reaction gave way to a 154,000 increase in Facebook likes during the week. 191,000 Twitter followers added contributed to their overall fan base increase as well.
In other Social 50 news … David Bowie debuts at No. 35 after surprising the world with a new single (“Where Are We Now?”) and the announcement of a new album, “The Next Day” on his 66th birthday, Jan. 7.
The single became immediately available to stream on his new Web site, as did its music video, which garnered 1 million VEVO views since its debut. That contributed to a 240% jump in weekly activity to his channel, while his online fan base grew by over 40,000 fans. Bowie additionally received over 470,000 views to his Wikipedia page, a 400% increase compared to the previous week.
Bowie’s new album is due out in the U.S. on March 12.
Back in the top 10: Taylor Swift remains steady at No. 4 while Britney Spears and Rihanna trade places (the former moves 5-3 while the latter dips 3-5). Bruno Mars holds fast at No. 6 while Beyonce rises to break the top 10 (15-7), captivating the Web’s attention with the release of her GQ magazine cover photo. Selena Gomez and Katy Perry remain steady in the Nos. 8 and 9 positions respectively, while PSY continues his downward trend to dip 7-10.
