How many times have you captured the perfect picture, only to download it and discover a rogue tree branch jutting into your frame from the side, or a random person’s head sneaking into your foreground? At one time or another, maybe even often, it’s happened to all of us – and it’s a bad habit that’s easy to repeat if we allow it. Let’s call this photo ailment of ours blind excitement; letting the excitement of our subject blind us to all other elements that are in our frame. Is there a cure? Absolutely. “On The Dock” – There was a lot going on here, much to see and evaluate before pressing...
As a beginning photographer, one of the easiest ways to move from taking average snapshots to more professional looking portraits is to develop a good understanding of light. Harsh and uneven lighting can often be distracting and make the photograph look amateur, whereas even lighting allows the viewer to focus solely on the subject and is more visually appealing. Spending some time learning about the exposure triangle, the quality and direction of light is a great first step, something that I highly recommend to everyone. That said, even if you understand the theoretical aspects of light,...

![This Photographer Helps Document Childbirth in Real Time on Instagram]()
Posting live updates of special events to services such as Twitter and Instagram is a pretty common thing these days, but one photographer has chosen a relatively uncommon subject for her real-time Instagram snaps: childbirth. Kansas City-based photographer Cate DePrisco has been helping clients tell their birth stories in real-time through her Instagram feed. Her service is called Instabirthstory. Not every expecting mother who hires DePrisco wishes to have their experience broadcast for the world to see, but four of them have so far. In addition to DePrisco’s growing list of...
![Cinder Blocks Are a Cheap Way to Give Your Photos Some Fire Protection]()
Photographer and entrepreneur Gary Fong lost his house to a devastating fire earlier this year, but he didn’t lose any of his most valued possessions thanks to precautions that he took. After the experience, he realized that cinder blocks can be used as a cheap way for photographers to gain some fire protection for their data without having to shell out big bucks for commercial solutions. Here’s a short 8-minute video in which Fong shares this simple and affordable idea: After Fong’s house fire, he noticed that the only thing still standing was the cinder block fireplace. So, for...
![This Clever DIY Platform Lets You Take Pictures Over Fences]()
Hobbyist photographer and motor racing fan Carlo Bingen was at a race at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium yesterday when he cane across this photographer taking pictures over the chain link fence. While many people would be content with shooting through the fence gaps with a telephoto lens, this guy created a DIY platform that lets him stand over the top. Bingen tells us that the simple platform was created with a metal chain, some carabiners, and a panel of wood. You simply find where you want to mount it to, attach the carabiners to the fence, and it’s ready for you to...

Now that Rolleiflex cameras have gone the way of the dodo, Rollei needs to find a new segments of the camera equipment market to serve. It turns out one of the company’s promising new niches is the selfie stick. The company has just launched four new selfie stick models to help smartphone users capitalize on the booming trend. Rollei’s new selfie sticks come in a variety of colors. Selfie sticks may elicit many groans and find themselves banned from museums and sporting venues around the world, but the negative press doesn’t seem to be fazing Rollei. “The Rollei Selfie Stick is one of...
Following your dream is not always easy. Actually, it’s never easy. To be frank, I think the only way you can achieve a dream goal is to leave yourself no other choice. You can’t say, for instance, “I’ll try this for a while and see how it goes.” because you’ll always find a reason (often a pretty good one) to give up and do something else. You have to be fully committed. That makes it easier decision-wise, because you literally leave yourself no other choice but to keep going forward. But the process itself is still very hard. So, that’s what I did and now I take pictures for a living. I...
Total light, smaller sensors and crops The total amount of light that goes to make up your image is the most important factor in determining image quality. As I tried to explain (and demonstrate) in my article on equivalence, f-numbers dictate the light intensity of an exposure (light per unit area). However, this ignores the sensor size. To understand how much total light is available to make up your image, you need to multiply this light per unit area by the area of your sensor. Why do you say a smaller sensor sees less light? This diagram represents the light being...
![Nikon Hackers Making Progress on Using Live View Data for Shooting RAW Video]()
Unofficial RAW video functionality could be coming to a Nikon DSLR near you in the not-too-distant future. The Nikon hacker community appears to be making progress in using the live view feature of cameras to obtain RAW footage from the sensor.EOSHD reports that members of the Nikon Hacker forums have successfully converted a single frame from a Nikon D5100’s live view buffer into a DNG photo. One of the forum members named a1ex managed to obtain a 1664×1102 RAW image from the buffer using a prototype DNG converter created using Magic Lantern tools. EOSHD says that any RAW video...
![The Online Depth of Field Simulator is Now Available as a Free Android App]()
A couple of months ago, we featured a helpful little web app called the Bokeh Simulator and Depth of Field Calculator. The website allows photographers to quickly visualize what different options in a particular shot (e.g. aperture, focal length, distance to subject) do to the bokeh and depth of field in the resulting photo. The app has now gotten even better: in addition to some nifty feature upgrades, it can now be downloaded as a free app for Android devices. Developer Michael Bemowski, the man behind the site, tells us that he has been working on improving the app since the first...
![Why Having Your Portrait Made Is Important]()
My friend Matthew Simmons and I did recently did a photo shoot with an amazing little girl named Desi Robinson. After sending Renee, Desi’s mother, the finished images and talking to her a few days after, something really hit me. Renee thanked me for asking Desi to do a shoot with Matthew and I, because she had “come so far” since having that experience. After hearing this, I wanted to explore this idea a little more. I had always believed that it was important to have your portrait made at least once, but I didn’t have any solid, real life examples as to why until now. Renee agreed...
![‘Exposure’ Now Legal Tender For Photographers]()
A change in the law will allow photographers to pay rent on their homes and studios with ‘exposure’ instead of money. They will also be able to buy coffee, shampoo, and other essentials by mentioning to the checkout assistant that they did a big job last week for nothing and are hoping it will bring them some paying clients. Landlords and supermarkets are protesting this move on the grounds that “Well what the hell am I supposed to do with ‘exposure’? I can’t pay my bills with fresh bloody air! Why can’t you just give me money like every bugger else?” The controversial new change will...
![This is How Much Diamond is Extracted from Massive Diamond Mines]()
In the world of diamond mining, huge open pits are dug into the Earth in order to find and extract a relatively small amount of usable diamonds. For his new set of images in his ongoing For What It’s Worth project, photographer Dillon Marsh created a series of photos showing this dramatic comparison. For each pair of images, the first shows a huge pit created in the ground by diamond miners, and the second is a zoomed-in view that includes a CGI rendering of how much diamond has been extracted in the history of that mine. The Kimberley Mine Was Mined Between 1871 and 1914 14.5 Million...
Right off the bat, this is not an article about what background colors to use, what plugins to install, or other shallow web design fashion trends. Focusing blindly on bells and whistles (flat design, parallax scrolling, full-width page layouts) won’t actually make your photo website better. Sure, it might make it pretty, but it won’t necessarily be effective. Getting the bigger picture and understanding the WHY behind web design trends will make you better equipped to build a successful photography business. Having worked on over two hundred photography websites in the past few years, I’ve...
Before you can begin editing your photos you need to get them safely off your camera and onto your computer. Unfortunately this process is often hijacked by (well-meaning if misguided) software which purports to do the work for you but leaves you wondering just where your photos really are! So, to help you understand your options for getting your photos onto your computer, here’s what I recommend. First of all: Take Charge! The first thing to understand about getting photos from your camera card or camera onto your computer is that you’re in charge. Any application that opens and tries to...
Lomography has introduced the LC-A Minitar-1 f/2.8 32mm to its ‘Art’ line of lenses. Like that of the original Lomo LC-A 35mm camera (and more recent LC-A+) the lens features a pancake design and Russian optics, aiming to preserve the ‘unique character of its vintage’ origins. The lens will be sold in a Leica M-mount, and is available for pre-order. The new LC-A Minitar-1 features glass optics that are multi-coated for keeping internal reflections to a minimum while maximizing the color saturation and contrast. The lens also produces a pronounced...
![Shooting Insect Macros on the Cheap with a Reversed Lens]()
If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to achieve high magnification in your photography, you need to know about the reverse lens macro photography technique. Reverse lens macro photography has allowed me to achieve the magnification I couldn’t come close to with my more expensive equipment. In 2012, I (spent a lot of money and) purchased the Canon EF 180mm ƒ/3.5L Macro lens. A year later, I (yet again spent a lot of money and) purchased the Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX. I spent years begging my husband to let me buy these two pieces of equipment. With $2,500 in shiny new toys in...

If you’re getting into drone photography, it’s important to know where you can and can’t fly — otherwise you could find your activities in the news for all the wrong reasons. AirMap is a new free, comprehensive, and interactive digital map that’s designed specifically to help drone users find safe and legal airspace around them. “Airspace rules are complex,” the service says. “AirMap removes barriers to compliance by providing the low altitude airspace information that unmanned aircraft operators need.” The initial beta version of the site, which is live now, shows data for US-based...
![40% of All Camera Sensors Sold in 2014 Were Made by Sony]()
Sony may not make the world’s most popular smartphones or cameras, but it’s playing a bigger role in those industries than what meets the eye: the company’s image sensor business has been booming in recent years. In 2014, Sony was the company that made 40% of all the sensors sold across the globe. The Wall Street Journal has published a fascinating look at how Sony is banking on image sensor manufacturing as one of the core pillars of the company. Instead of focusing on selling Sony-branded electronics, as the company did in past decades, Sony is now working at getting its...
![Searching for Two Sisters I Photographed in Nepal]()
Yesterday I shared the before-and-after photos above. The image on the left was taken on the 22nd April, 2009, almost exactly six years and one week before the image on the right. They show the same street in Bhaktapur, one of Nepal’s most historic cities, before and after last Saturday’s earthquake. In 2009, whilst photographing for a magazine feature, I spent a while photographing these two sisters on their way home from school. One of the images appeared in my first exhibition. Returning to Nepal this week under less happy circumstances, I found myself, by complete coincidence, at...
![Muck Diving Photography]()

As far as names go, “muck diving” might not have the greatest appeal. But seasoned macro underwater photographers know that mucky environments often hold the best, consistent opportunity to make images of rare and exotic critters. With a little extra dive and photographic technique, you can capture stunning images out of what may appear to be a desolate dive environment.

Today Lomography announced its new Lomo LC-A Minitar-1 f/2.8 M Art lens, which features the original optics from the original Lomo LC-A camera that was first introduced back in 1984. The new lens lets photographers capture the look that kicked off the Lomography movement using Leica M rangefinders and other M-mount cameras.

![Some Canon T6 DSLRs May Have a Sensor Issue]()
Every once in a while my gear rental company notices something, because of the large quantities of cameras and lenses we buy, that we think people should be aware of. This particular issue won’t affect our renters; we’ve sent the affected cameras back. It may not affect very many people at all, since this is from a relatively small sample size. But I still think it worth mentioning. The bottom line is that 4 of the Canon T6s and 2 of the T6i cameras we received had to be sent back because of a defect in the sensor stack (the layers of filter glass over the sensor). This is out about...
![An Alley in Nepal, Before and After the Earthquake]()
I was in Nepal exactly six years and three days before the earthquake that devastated the country on Saturday. Back then, I was photographing for a magazine feature and had spent much of the day in Bhaktapur, a beautiful and ancient city in the Kathmandu Valley. As anybody who has visited Nepal will tell you, it’s a wonderful place to photograph. Nepalese people are enormously hospitable, the light is invariably wonderful and there seems to be a golden photo opportunity at every turn. I was resting for a few moments at the end of a narrow alleyway when these two sisters appeared,...
For me, as a travel photographer, the size and the weight of the photography equipment that I carry around is very important. Over the years, I learned how to carry only the items absolutely necessary for shooting in order to eliminate anything unessential. Long exposure photo shot without a tripod, using the Align+Blend technique. I was able to replace some of the pieces of equipment with software. For example, I stopped using ND Graduated filters a few years ago. For me, it was easier to take bracketed shots and blend two images in Photoshop or simply use the graduated filter in Lightroom....
As modern day photographers it is easy to get overwhelmed and consumed by new gear, new technology, new software, new techniques (did someone say HDR?) and so on. With so much going on in the industry, sometimes you need to step back, sit down and relax. Sometimes you need to stop the rush in your head and slow the heck down. With that said, I thought it would be worthwhile to share some advice for you new photographers that feel an intense desire to do more than you know you can handle at the moment. Or for you photographers that have experience already, but want to go back to simplicity....

Getting Better and Worse at the Same Time with Clare Strand’s idiosyncratic new show at Grimaldi Gavin in London
From photographs inspired by crime scenes to pseudo-scientific experiments, Clare Strand has always marched to the beat of her own drum – and her latest exhibition, Getting Better and Worse at the Same Time, is no exception. Featuring The Happenstance Generator (a machine that blows around images from her research projects) and The Entropy Pendulum (a moving arm that swings backwards and forwards over one of her prints), it’s a quirky, animated take...
Defects between the layers of glass covering the sensor of a Canon EOS Rebel T6s/760D. Photo by Lensrentals.com, 2015 LensRentals received its first Canon EOS Rebel T6s/760D and T6i/750D units and has identified a sensor problem with a number of those cameras. Out of about 10 copies of each model, 6 contained sensors with noticeable defects in their sensor stacks. These layers of glass on top of the sensor contain a pattern of dust-like spots or particles that are visible when studied under angled (rather than direct) light. What looked at first like a pattern of dust...
Leica has introduced an updated version of its black-and-white-only digital rangefinder. The M-Monochrom Typ 246 uses a full frame 24MP CMOS sensor that, like its predecessor, has no color filter array. The previous Monochrom used an 18MP CCD sensor, so the upgrade to a CMOS chip provides several improvements such as live view and video recording capabilities. Essentially a monochrome version of the M Typ 240, the M Monochrom Typ 246 offers an increase in ISO range up to ISO 25,000 (up from a maximum of 10,000), a more modern 3″ 921k-dot monitor (as compared to the...

Carl Zeiss today uploaded a number of sample photos captured with its new Batis line of full frame lenses for Sony’s FE mount. Of the 7 images taken with the 85mm f/1.8 and the 4 with the 25mm f/2, one in particular is causing quite a bit of discussion among Sony shooters. The image is titled “Girl #1” and has a caption that states “Sony α7R, ZEISS Batis 1.8/85″: What’s strange is the size of the photo. The Sony A7r has a 36.4 megapixel full frame sensor, but this particular sample photo has an original size of 8910×6300, or 56 megapixels. The original EXIF data has been scrubbed so...

You will not often find the stairs of Opera Garnier in Paris free of people, so you will need to put the Clone Stamp tool to work to remove the people if you want a clean picture. This applies at many other tourist destinations as well. There are a lot of good post-processing tools available for making minor edits to your photos. Within Photoshop, there are the Healing Brush and the Spot Healing Brush tools. Lightroom now has its own healing brush. Those are great for minor edits to your photos like removing spots or power lines. When it comes time for serious, intensive surgery on your...
Close up of a DIY camera wrist strap made from paracord 1. Camera strap(s) I stopped using the camera strap that comes with the camera (DSLR) quite awhile ago now. My fundamental gripes were as follows: Not at all comfortable to wear around the neck, especially if you have a long lens attached to the camera. Didn’t particularly like the camera brand name in bright colors screaming out to potential camera thieves that you have a nice camera worth taking! The strap was a nuisance when the camera was mounted on a tripod. Because of the strap length, it was irksome and fussy putting the camera...
Long exposure photography makes it possible to show the passage of time in a still photograph. It does this by blurring moving elements and sharpening the static parts. But there is a downside to long exposures – any camera movement blurs the static elements. Here are four simple ways you can prevent unwanted blurring. 1. Use a Good Tripod For very short exposures there are ways to hold yourself and your camera steady, like: How to Reduce Camera Shake – 6 Techniques. However, when you’re taking an exposure of a few seconds, you need something steadier than your hands to hold your camera. You...

LG has announced its new flasgship smartphone, the LG G4. The new model takes over some of the G3’s design details, but from a hardware point of view it’s an all around new device. Specifically, it puts a lot of emphasis on camera specifications. In the camera module the 16MP 1/2.6-inch CMOS sensor is a touch larger than the 1/3-inch sensors in many other phones, and the F1.8 aperture is the fastest among the current crop of high-end mobile devices. The improved optical image stabilization system now works along 3 axis, compared to 2 axis on the G3, and comes with a range...
Ansix Engineering has taken to Kickstarter with its LensPacks, a rear lens cap backed with Velcro that can be attached to the inside of a camera bag. It’s designed to speed up lens changes – when a lens swap is necessary, the photographer can twist the current lens into the waiting rear cap, then twist a different lens off of another cap. The lens caps are said to fit into any camera bag. If a bag does not have a lining compatible with Velcro, Ansix is offering Velcro fasteners with adhesive backing. Currently Ansix is offering Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony, and...

Earlier this year, photographer Benjamin Von Wong got a call from the Chinese telecom company Huawei. They were getting ready to launch a new smartphone called the P8, and they wanted Von Wong to shoot the craziest photographs he could come up with. The rules for the shoot were: it had to be done with the phone’s new “Light Painting” feature, the model had to be surrounded by fire, and no Photoshop would be allowed in the process. Huawei’s P8 shoots long exposures using a stacking technique that astrophotographers use for capturing star trails. Instead of one long exposure with the...

Photographing the landscape is one of the oldest forms of photography, along with others like portrait and street photography. Since the advent of digital photography the possibilities of what can be done seem almost endless. It also means that photography has become more accessible, so with more people taking it up it is becoming harder to be original, and make your images your own. There are ways of creating landscapes that have your style, but it usually means throwing away a lot of what you first learn about photography. Perhaps the only time a photographer is really free to do whatever...
The goal of portrait retouching is to bring out the most naturally pleasing image of the subject. This image is the finished result of Frequency Separation Retouching in Photoshop. Portrait retouching may be accomplished using many different methods. Still, how often have you seen a portrait image that has been retouched to the point that the subject’s face looks unnatural? Even many of the software packages available for portrait retouching result in an airbrushed effect to skin tones. What if the detail and color of a portrait could be separated for retouching? Frequency Separation...
Street scene One of the most unexplored aspects in digital photography is the dark image. With digital, we have built-in light meters, histograms, incredible ISO capabilities, and processing programs, which make it much easier to expose our images brightly in all different lighting situations. This can have the effect of making photographers feel that they need to expose all of their images with a neutral histogram, where you can see the image perfectly well, with some information in the highlights, mid-tones, and shadows. This is often what you want to do, but not always. When you are using...
There’s something ultimately alluring about lake and river reflections in landscape photography, especially when surrounded by majestic snow capped mountains that glow hot from the light of the setting sun. Here’s a little time-lapse video I put together using some of my recent lake reflection still shots in Alberta, Canada. Each frame is from a still image shot with a small mirrorless digital camera. Read on to learn the methods I use when trying to capture stunning lake and river reflections in my photography. 1 – Don’t shoot super wide Regardless of whether your camera is full frame,...
That’s a big call really, isn’t it? “Ultimate on-location storage” what does that even mean, and do you need it? Well, dear reader, read on and we’ll get to the bottom of this relatively new, bomb proof storage device from ioSafe.com The aptly named Rugged Portable is an external solid state drive that connects to your computer via USB 3.0 to store all of your files – in my case, raw images photographed on location. We have the 1TB version on a trial and that’s going to be (much) more than enough for most photography adventures. Transfer speeds via USB 3.0 are usually more than enough...

Katrina d’Autremont’s series explores the influence of her grandparents, who share the unbreakable belief that God controls each of our lives
“We’d all be in hell if that’s what God wanted.” Katrina d’Autremont’s grandfather used to say that often; he believed life was entirely determined according to God’s will. “I like the notion that we love our family because that’s what God wants,” says the photographer. Born in Denver in 1980, d’Autremont grew up in Montana and then Arizona; she’d spend extended holidays in Buenos Aires visiting her mother’s family, who live...

John Conn spent a summer photographing the men and women living on the streets of the Bronx, New York. Each had a sign, and a very personal story. Thomas Cox reports.
“We all see the homeless – more or less – although we often do our best to look elsewhere,” says New York photographer John Conn. “I would walk past, look at their signs and then their faces and try to match up the two – seeing if they correlate.” Framing the dual intimations of person and sign forms the basis of Conn’s 80-image series Homeless/Signs. There is no shortage of local subjects in New...

How would you react if I told you that the aperture and shutter speed you choose make more difference to image noise than the ISO setting? You might be surprised to discover that a lot of the noise in your images doesn’t come from your camera at all: it comes from the light you’re capturing. To really understand what’s going on in your camera and, hence, how to get the best results out of it, it helps to understand a little bit about where noise comes from. Noise is widely misunderstood and yet it lies at the heart of most technical assessments of image...

Landscape photographers thrive on variety. It’s a bad idea to shoot the exact same image as someone else, and, while not quite as bad, shooting a very similar composition to an existing image usually isn’t considered much of an achievement. A good landscape photo should be original in at least one way, and finding a unique composition, a different, fresh look, is an important part of originality. But the photography world is booming, and every other photographer has images of iconic locations. Year by year people shoot the popular destinations, metaphorically...

American Photo Magazine has sent out its last issue and says that its ceasing publication. This marks the end of the road for a notable photography magazine that spanned decades. Photographer Bob Cooley, who has been a subscriber for nearly two decades, tells us that the latest issue he received was a copy of Popular Photography magazine. Here’s the message that was attached to the front: In the note, Pop Photo editor-in-chief Miriam Leuchter writes that American Photo has discontinued publication effective immediately, and that existing subscribers will automatically be receiving...
![Portraits of Dogs Before and After Bath Time]()
“Dry Dog Wet Dog” is an ongoing project by Brisbane, Australia-based pet photographer Serenah Hodson. It’s a series of side-by-side portraits showing dogs before and after they’re soaked with water. Serenah says she got the idea for the project while washing her own dogs. “Their personalities change when they know it’s bath time,” she writes. So, she decided to shoot a series of photos showing how a dog’s appearance and personality both change when it comes to bath time. You can follow along with this project through its Facebook album or find more of Serenah’s work over on her...
![12 Reasons Photographers Still Choose to Shoot Film over Digital]()
This year will mark forty years since the invention of the first functioning digital camera, and despite it being a measly 0.01 megapixels, it heralded a new age of digital photography and with it came a death cry for film. Prompted by this incredibly dull article published recently by the BBC, I decided to ask some fellow photographers what reasons they had for still shooting the so-called “outdated” technology. Here’s the list of what they told me… #1. Film Photography Was Already Perfect Those of us lucky enough to have photo albums from the ’90s and before tucked away in our...
![The Only Free-Range Herd of Reindeer in Canada]()
For the past two years, Canadian photographer Nicolas Dory has documented the annual migration of the country’s only free-range herd of reindeer, which consists of about 3,000 animals. After Canada’s caribou population began to decline in the early 1900s, US and Canada partnered together to help the Inuvialuit population of the Mackenzie Delta avoid food shortage. In 1929, 3,440 reindeer were imported to Canada through Alaska from Scandinavia. Since that time, reindeer herding is still practiced by descendants of people in the Northwest Territories. Every year, in the early spring,...

After 27 years of shooting daily photo assignments I had found myself at a crossroads in my photojournalism career. At that point I had spent 20 years as a staff photographer at The Boston Herald and 7 years as the Photo Editor of the Lowell Sun. But creatively I felt as if I was in a rut or shooting on autopilot. Every day slinging the two Canon 1D series cameras over my shoulder with the classic photojournalism combo of a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens and tackling the day’s assignments. Don’t get me wrong, I was producing good work and winning my share of journalism awards...

James Nachtwey stretches his arms across the sofa and pauses to think. He’s just declined to answer whether he ever has nightmares, and now he’s fielding a question that ever war reporter has faced; has he ever truly feared for his life? He recalls covering the civil war in Sri Lanka. He was embedded...

Footage that was recorded moments before a US marshal destroyed a woman’s cell phone has now emerged. It turns out the phone was shattered and no longer usable, but the footage was intact in the internal storage, giving us a second point of view into what happened. In the video above, NBC Los Angeles shares and discusses what transpired in the moments leading up to the police encounter that everyone is talking about now. The footage shows that the woman was shooting video of a raid by federal agents on a meeting by the notorious biker gang the Mongols. An officer walks near Beatriz...

Going a do-it-yourself (DIY) route is popular among photographers who want the benefits of a certain product without having to shell out money in order to buy the actual thing. Here’s something you might not have considered though: building a DIY version of something that’s patented can actually constitute patent infringement, and sharing those designs with others can land you in even deeper trouble. According to US law — 35 USC 271(a) — patent infringement occurs when anyone other than the owner of a patent makes, sells, offers for sale, or imports a product that’s covered by the...

Personal trainer Cassey Ho is a YouTube star with an exercise channel boasting more than 2.1 million subscribers.

In order to express what she felt in reading those messages, Ho came up with the idea of creating a video in which she Photoshops herself to create “the perfect body” based on what commenters want her to look like. “Photoshopping and body image – all of that – is such a big problem that a lot of girls deal with because magazine covers are Photoshopped,...

Sony’s A-Mount system hasn’t seen very much love in recent days, but there’s still some activity. As the company promised late last year, today it announced two new versions of popular A-mount lenses: the Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 16-35mm f/2.8. The two lenses both pack improvements in image quality, ghost reduction, and autofocus. Photographers will also find a new rugged dust- and moisture-resistant design for the lens bodies. Sony claims the enhanced autofocus delivers 4x the subject tracking speed compared to the lens’ predecessors thanks to a better motor system and...

How to See the Light for Portraits: A Quick Tip for Beginners
Posted by Chris Roubis on 5th, May, 2015 |
no responses
As a beginning photographer, one of the easiest ways to move from taking average snapshots to more professional looking portraits is to develop a good understanding of light. Harsh and uneven lighting can often be distracting and make the photograph look amateur, whereas even lighting allows the viewer to focus solely on the subject and is more visually appealing. Spending some time learning about the exposure triangle, the quality and direction of light is a great first step, something that I highly recommend to everyone. That said, even if you understand the theoretical aspects of light,...

But he’s not on the “market” with his photos. He’s doing photography for his own pleasure and, I presume, to hang on his walls . If you take up, say, carpentry as a hobby and make your own table, it’ll give you immeasurable pleasure to have it at home, and to eat on it with family and friends. This will be the case even if there are thousands of nearly identical tables you could have bought for a very affordable price (which would be much less than the value of the time you put in to make your own table, not to mention the cost of the tools). So, he’s...

5 Reasons a Pro Photographer Sometimes Regrets Going Pro

Following your dream is not always easy. Actually, it’s never easy. To be frank, I think the only way you can achieve a dream goal is to leave yourself no other choice. You can’t say, for instance, “I’ll try this for a while and see how it goes.” because you’ll always find a reason (often a pretty good one) to give up and do something else. You have to be fully committed. That makes it easier decision-wise, because you literally leave yourself no other choice but to keep going forward. But the process itself is still very hard. So, that’s what I did and now I take pictures for a living. I...

Total light, smaller sensors and crops The total amount of light that goes to make up your image is the most important factor in determining image quality. As I tried to explain (and demonstrate) in my article on equivalence, f-numbers dictate the light intensity of an exposure (light per unit area). However, this ignores the sensor size. To understand how much total light is available to make up your image, you need to multiply this light per unit area by the area of your sensor. Why do you say a smaller sensor sees less light? This diagram represents the light being...

Isn’t it amazing when people say ‘seen these pictures 1000 times before’, “not original” etc? Everything has been photograph to death (or even painted) thus making photography more boring than ever. Some people still find the location, get there at the right time and posses the right set of skills to capture ‘nice’ images – Steve did exactly that. Considering Australia’s coastline is 25,760 kilometers, or a little over 16,000 miles, long, there are slim chances the pictures of exactly the same spot are out there. Even if they were,...

The Future of Photography Websites – Understanding and Adapting to Trends
Posted by Chris Roubis on 3rd, May, 2015 |
no responses
Right off the bat, this is not an article about what background colors to use, what plugins to install, or other shallow web design fashion trends. Focusing blindly on bells and whistles (flat design, parallax scrolling, full-width page layouts) won’t actually make your photo website better. Sure, it might make it pretty, but it won’t necessarily be effective. Getting the bigger picture and understanding the WHY behind web design trends will make you better equipped to build a successful photography business. Having worked on over two hundred photography websites in the past few years, I’ve...
Successfully Copy Photos from Your Memory Card to your Computer
Posted by Chris Roubis on 3rd, May, 2015 |

Before you can begin editing your photos you need to get them safely off your camera and onto your computer. Unfortunately this process is often hijacked by (well-meaning if misguided) software which purports to do the work for you but leaves you wondering just where your photos really are! So, to help you understand your options for getting your photos onto your computer, here’s what I recommend. First of all: Take Charge! The first thing to understand about getting photos from your camera card or camera onto your computer is that you’re in charge. Any application that opens and tries to...

The lens will be sold in a Leica M-mount, and is available for pre-order. The new LC-A Minitar-1 features glass optics that are multi-coated for keeping internal reflections to a minimum while maximizing the color saturation and contrast. The lens also produces a pronounced...

In a black blazer, black jeans, black cardigan and a floral shirt, Vasantha Yogananthan is as mellifluous as his photography.

Long Exposure Photography Without a Tripod
Posted by Chris Roubis on 1st, May, 2015 |
no responses
For me, as a travel photographer, the size and the weight of the photography equipment that I carry around is very important. Over the years, I learned how to carry only the items absolutely necessary for shooting in order to eliminate anything unessential. Long exposure photo shot without a tripod, using the Align+Blend technique. I was able to replace some of the pieces of equipment with software. For example, I stopped using ND Graduated filters a few years ago. For me, it was easier to take bracketed shots and blend two images in Photoshop or simply use the graduated filter in Lightroom....

As modern day photographers it is easy to get overwhelmed and consumed by new gear, new technology, new software, new techniques (did someone say HDR?) and so on. With so much going on in the industry, sometimes you need to step back, sit down and relax. Sometimes you need to stop the rush in your head and slow the heck down. With that said, I thought it would be worthwhile to share some advice for you new photographers that feel an intense desire to do more than you know you can handle at the moment. Or for you photographers that have experience already, but want to go back to simplicity....

Well, thats what an APS-C Nikon or Canon is. How it is that only Sony has a 16-50mm f2.8 lens I just cannot imagine, but I am sure not interested in a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 because the last one I tried was not sharp, no.Its Nikon’s JOB to produce one-...
Leica M Monochrom Type 246 offers live view and boosted ISO range
Posted by Chris Roubis on 1st, May, 2015 |

Leica has introduced an updated version of its black-and-white-only digital rangefinder. The M-Monochrom Typ 246 uses a full frame 24MP CMOS sensor that, like its predecessor, has no color filter array. The previous Monochrom used an 18MP CCD sensor, so the upgrade to a CMOS chip provides several improvements such as live view and video recording capabilities. Essentially a monochrome version of the M Typ 240, the M Monochrom Typ 246 offers an increase in ISO range up to ISO 25,000 (up from a maximum of 10,000), a more modern 3″ 921k-dot monitor (as compared to the...

You will not often find the stairs of Opera Garnier in Paris free of people, so you will need to put the Clone Stamp tool to work to remove the people if you want a clean picture. This applies at many other tourist destinations as well. There are a lot of good post-processing tools available for making minor edits to your photos. Within Photoshop, there are the Healing Brush and the Spot Healing Brush tools. Lightroom now has its own healing brush. Those are great for minor edits to your photos like removing spots or power lines. When it comes time for serious, intensive surgery on your...

Close up of a DIY camera wrist strap made from paracord 1. Camera strap(s) I stopped using the camera strap that comes with the camera (DSLR) quite awhile ago now. My fundamental gripes were as follows: Not at all comfortable to wear around the neck, especially if you have a long lens attached to the camera. Didn’t particularly like the camera brand name in bright colors screaming out to potential camera thieves that you have a nice camera worth taking! The strap was a nuisance when the camera was mounted on a tripod. Because of the strap length, it was irksome and fussy putting the camera...

Long exposure photography makes it possible to show the passage of time in a still photograph. It does this by blurring moving elements and sharpening the static parts. But there is a downside to long exposures – any camera movement blurs the static elements. Here are four simple ways you can prevent unwanted blurring. 1. Use a Good Tripod For very short exposures there are ways to hold yourself and your camera steady, like: How to Reduce Camera Shake – 6 Techniques. However, when you’re taking an exposure of a few seconds, you need something steadier than your hands to hold your camera. You...

LG G4 puts focus on the camera

LG has announced its new flasgship smartphone, the LG G4. The new model takes over some of the G3’s design details, but from a hardware point of view it’s an all around new device. Specifically, it puts a lot of emphasis on camera specifications. In the camera module the 16MP 1/2.6-inch CMOS sensor is a touch larger than the 1/3-inch sensors in many other phones, and the F1.8 aperture is the fastest among the current crop of high-end mobile devices. The improved optical image stabilization system now works along 3 axis, compared to 2 axis on the G3, and comes with a range...
Ansix introduces LensPacks: Rear lens caps with Velcro for bags
Posted by Chris Roubis on 30th, Apr, 2015 |
no responses
Ansix Engineering has taken to Kickstarter with its LensPacks, a rear lens cap backed with Velcro that can be attached to the inside of a camera bag. It’s designed to speed up lens changes – when a lens swap is necessary, the photographer can twist the current lens into the waiting rear cap, then twist a different lens off of another cap. The lens caps are said to fit into any camera bag. If a bag does not have a lining compatible with Velcro, Ansix is offering Velcro fasteners with adhesive backing. Currently Ansix is offering Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony, and...

US bag manufacturer MindShift Gear has introduced a new range of bags and pouches aimed at the GoPro and action cam market. The GP series is made up of 10 individual cases that can be purchased individually or in three bundles of differing sizes. MindShift says that the cases are ideal for carrying and organizing all the kit and accessories that go with action cams because they have clear windows that allow the user to see immediately what is in each bag. They also come in a range of sizes to suit the different attachments action cam photographers need. The bags are made...

GoPro has announced its acquisition of Kolor, makers of stitching software used for spherical 360-degree videos and panoramas. Demonstrating exactly what we can expect when the two companies combine forces, the above 360-degree video has been released today, recorded with three GoPro Heros and stitched together with Kolor software. Viewed using Chrome, the video is fully interactive. With a software solution in house, it seems logical that GoPro could begin producing rigs to accommodate multiple cameras for spherical, immersive video. Right now it’s up to an...

Putting You Into Your Landscape Photography
Posted by Chris Roubis on 28th, Apr, 2015 |
no responses
Photographing the landscape is one of the oldest forms of photography, along with others like portrait and street photography. Since the advent of digital photography the possibilities of what can be done seem almost endless. It also means that photography has become more accessible, so with more people taking it up it is becoming harder to be original, and make your images your own. There are ways of creating landscapes that have your style, but it usually means throwing away a lot of what you first learn about photography. Perhaps the only time a photographer is really free to do whatever...
How to do Frequency Separation Portrait Retouching in Photoshop
Posted by Chris Roubis on 28th, Apr, 2015 |
no responses
The goal of portrait retouching is to bring out the most naturally pleasing image of the subject. This image is the finished result of Frequency Separation Retouching in Photoshop. Portrait retouching may be accomplished using many different methods. Still, how often have you seen a portrait image that has been retouched to the point that the subject’s face looks unnatural? Even many of the software packages available for portrait retouching result in an airbrushed effect to skin tones. What if the detail and color of a portrait could be separated for retouching?

Why You Should Make Dark Images
Posted by Chris Roubis on 28th, Apr, 2015 |
no responses
Street scene One of the most unexplored aspects in digital photography is the dark image. With digital, we have built-in light meters, histograms, incredible ISO capabilities, and processing programs, which make it much easier to expose our images brightly in all different lighting situations. This can have the effect of making photographers feel that they need to expose all of their images with a neutral histogram, where you can see the image perfectly well, with some information in the highlights, mid-tones, and shadows. This is often what you want to do, but not always. When you are using...
9 Tips for Photographing Mountain Lake Reflections

There’s something ultimately alluring about lake and river reflections in landscape photography, especially when surrounded by majestic snow capped mountains that glow hot from the light of the setting sun. Here’s a little time-lapse video I put together using some of my recent lake reflection still shots in Alberta, Canada. Each frame is from a still image shot with a small mirrorless digital camera. Read on to learn the methods I use when trying to capture stunning lake and river reflections in my photography. 1 – Don’t shoot super wide Regardless of whether your camera is full frame,...

Katrina d’Autremont’s series explores the influence of her grandparents, who share the unbreakable belief that God controls each of our lives
“We’d all be in hell if that’s what God wanted.” Katrina d’Autremont’s grandfather used to say that often; he believed life was entirely determined according to God’s will. “I like the notion that we love our family because that’s what God wants,” says the photographer. Born in Denver in 1980, d’Autremont grew up in Montana and then Arizona; she’d spend extended holidays in Buenos Aires visiting her mother’s family, who live...
John Conn – Signs of the Homeless

John Conn spent a summer photographing the men and women living on the streets of the Bronx, New York. Each had a sign, and a very personal story. Thomas Cox reports.
“We all see the homeless – more or less – although we often do our best to look elsewhere,” says New York photographer John Conn. “I would walk past, look at their signs and then their faces and try to match up the two – seeing if they correlate.” Framing the dual intimations of person and sign forms the basis of Conn’s 80-image series Homeless/Signs. There is no shortage of local subjects in New...

DxOMark Mobile report: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge tops rankings

It’s funny, I keep reading in the US tech media that Samsung copied the iPhone 6 (riiiight, because it wasn’t Apple that copied Samsung on larger screens and phablets…) but the S6 is still not quite a match for the (Chinese-made) American phone. They even went as far as publishing phony tests showing that the iPhone has faster graphics. Yeah, too bad they always forget to mention that the Samsung has a much higher resolution… As for the camera, most American reviewers won’t go past “it’s as good as the iPhone’s”, even if it’s...
What’s that noise? Shedding some light on the sources of noise
Posted by Chris Roubis on 28th, Apr, 2015 |

How would you react if I told you that the aperture and shutter speed you choose make more difference to image noise than the ISO setting? You might be surprised to discover that a lot of the noise in your images doesn’t come from your camera at all: it comes from the light you’re capturing. To really understand what’s going on in your camera and, hence, how to get the best results out of it, it helps to understand a little bit about where noise comes from. Noise is widely misunderstood and yet it lies at the heart of most technical assessments of image...

Winds of Change: Shooting changing landscapes

Landscape photographers thrive on variety. It’s a bad idea to shoot the exact same image as someone else, and, while not quite as bad, shooting a very similar composition to an existing image usually isn’t considered much of an achievement. A good landscape photo should be original in at least one way, and finding a unique composition, a different, fresh look, is an important part of originality. But the photography world is booming, and every other photographer has images of iconic locations. Year by year people shoot the popular destinations, metaphorically...

Those are the best quality photos I have ever seen coming from a smartphone. Of course, the real question is…. how many smartphone users want, need, or are willing to pay for better quality photos? Over one billion smartphones were sold last year, and very few of them were purchased to take high quality photos. You really don’t need image quality this good for facebook posts or email attachments. So will these users pay a very high premium price to get better photos? My guess is…. no. Nice exercise in proving it can be done, but I think Apple and Samsung are safe. Source...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
