Infrared Modified P45 plus

June 9, 2008 | News, Doug

Capture Integration is pleased to announce immediate availability of a P45+ Infrared digital back for demonstration during the month of June. At the end of June we’ll be selling it at a discount (because it will have been used for demos), so if you’d like to try the best infrared digital back made, don’t delay.

At 39 megapixels this digital back is the highest resolution infrared camera on the market and creates absolutely stunning IR images. Our technician Doug Peterson, a long time fan of infrared films such as Macophot 820IR and SFX200, has been putting the camera through its paces. Below is a low resolution version of a shot taken by Doug this past weekend. You can also download a watermarked full-resolution JPG.

Tech info on the shot after the jump.

Further discussion can be found on the GetDPI forum.

Atlanta’s tornado

March 18, 2008 | News, Chris

I was out of town on vacation when the F2 tornado hit downtown Atlanta. Luckily the SEC between Alabama and Mississippi went into overtime. If it had not, there could have been several thousand people heading back to their hotels or cars and the casualties could have been unbelievable. Our office is only about one mile from where it hit and we were spared, but I wanted to see what the damage was. I’ve attached a few pictures to show some of the damage.

Tornado in Atlanta?

March 18, 2008 | News, Tim

For all of those who have written or called to check on us, thank-you very much for your concern. The “historic” Tornado of Friday night that struck Atlanta did miss our office and since most of us either live out of town or were out of town no personal of Capture Integration was directly affected.

It was not far away… these photos were taken from the street in front of our office….

The affected area started about one mile from us and headed away from our building…. which I might add, our office is on floor 1 & 2 of a stout 3 story brick and steel building. More photos after the jump.

IAAP and Capture Integration team up

March 4, 2008 | Guest Writers, News

Editors Note: This article was contributed by Thomas Bliss, the president of the International Association of Architectural Photographers. Steadily Capture Integration has been proving itself as the authority on specific markets in our industry. If a product doesn’t exist to solve a photographic problem Capture Integration will develop one, thus establishing our branded line of exclusive products. The combination of high ideals, customer service, and the superior quality of the Phase One line of digital backs has been integral in establishing Capture Integration’s reputation as the #1 source of information for the discerning photographer. Our expertise in the Architectural market has lead us to partner with an organization that is like minded. We look forward to a long relationship with IAAP and its members.

The International Association of Architectural Photographers was first launched by founder and “emerging” architectural photographer Thomas Bliss on January 1st, 2003 as NAAPA. The name was changed in mid 2003 to the IAAP to reflect a growing international membership.

Our First Event in Miami

February 28, 2008 | News, Personal Blogs, Dave

Update: Capture Integration’s Miami office will be holding a second event on April 24 @ 6:30pm. Click here to RSVP.

Kudos have to go out to our two newest additions to Capture Integration, Lance Schad and Doug Peterson. We proudly opened our doors to the public a few months back and had our first open house just this past Thursday. It was refreshing to be able to hang back and let very capable people take the reigns. Doug and Lance presented Capture One 4.0, Eizo monitors, and Drobo systems while Murray Elliott, Phase One Sales Manager, laid out the Phase One roadmap for the next few months. We had an excellent turnout and everything came off without a hitch. I was very impressed with a first effort and very proud to have them as a part of our team.

R.I.P. Polaroid Instant Film

February 18, 2008 | News, Lance, Personal Blogs

Last week I read some upsetting news. Polaroid is closing its plants that make their instant film. They claim that they will have enough film to last through the end of the year. They are also looking for companies that would be interested in taking over production. This only leaves Fujifilm around for instant film. Here are some links to Fuji’s offerings on their site(it is hard to find things on the site):
http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/fp100c.html
http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/fp100b.html

Unfortunately the Fuji offerings do not manipulate like some of the Polaroid films do. Our technician Doug Peterson, who is a big fan of emulsion lifts is near tears.
