Image Mechanics Expo - Collision Conference

For some great insights into hybrid photography check out these two forums on the Luminous Landscape site. Motion & Video which seems to be more about traditional video, and Combocams which focuses on VDSLRs. Note - there's a lot of cross over between the two sections.

The thread, "Is the future of medium format still imaging actually video?" stands out for some thoughtful posts on the future of hybrid photography.

Forum member TMARK says:

I think, and this is my opinion based upon my experience as a stills shooter in NYC and as a video producer/gaffer/writer/DP in NYC, that stills will be increasingly marginalized, pushed off to the edges as one of three things: a commodity (Flickr, iStock); incidental to the video shoot; or super highend work shot by fine artists.

Forum member mattlap2 says:

I think there will definitely be an even greater shift towards video and away from still.  A reduction in print advertising means advertising will shift more and more to the web.

James Russell writes:

...the talk in advertising is not about print, it's about interactive and motion media.  ...The advertisers that want to get their message out, want it out today and if motion can be added to a still shoot that is just gravy on top and everyone likes a little gravy. ...I know still photographers that just loathe the thought of motion, but I "knew" ex photographer's that loathed the thought of digital capture, so life goes on and everything moves forward.

I think we all know where this biz is going and it ain't only ink on paper.
