A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt The moon and night sky is a mysterious thing. Photographs of the moon can be tricky, but done well can convey an overwhelming sense of peacefulness and calm. I love doing night photography and when you can get the stars, moon or the Milky Way it’s even better. Enjoy these images of the moon and allow yourself to star gaze and be inspired: Moonlight shadows by Otto Hütter on 500px Bats under the moonlight by Weerapong Chaipuck on 500px Winter Night by Arild Heitmann on 500px Looks like a Vulcano by Gianmaria Veronese on 500px Lunar Eclipse Over Mt Shasta...
A new version of the Lee Filters SW150 system holder has been introduced that allows compatibility with a broader range of extreme wide angle lenses, and which has been designed to reduce the impact of reflections from the rear surface of fitted filters. The Lee Filter SW150 Mark ll now allows the existing 150mm-wide filters that were developed for the original SW150 to be fitted to four lenses using model-specific adapter rings – with more adapters on the way for additional lenses. The SW150 system is designed to overcome the issue of fitting filters to lenses that...
We have a lot of ‘tools’ in the camera market, but not many that are designed to be as pleasing to the eye as their output aims to be. I rather admire Fuji for its recognition that photography is a passion, not just a job, for most of us and that we like to have nice looking things that work well. Most cameras are designed like most cars – to be efficient and to do a job well, but it is usually hard to get excited about the way that they look. Fuji’s X series has really made a mark in the camera world, and a good deal of the attention surrounding it has come...
![An 8-Bit Instant Camera Made with a Gun, Game Boy, Camera, and Thermal Printer]()
Moscow-based artist Dmitry Morozov has created a strange DIY camera unlike any we’ve seen before. It’s an 8-bit instant photo shooter created with an old Game Boy, a camera, a thermal printer, an Arduino board, and a gun. Here’s a short video of the camera in action: Dubbed the “gbg-8,” the camera is used by simply pointing the barrel at something and pulling the trigger. It captures a photo through the camera, displays it on the Game Boy screen, and sends it to the thermal printer where it’s printed on to receipt paper. Last December we shared another thermal printing instant camera...
![Testing Out a Rosco Gel Kit for Creative and Colorful Photographic Lighting]()
I received a Rosco Gel kit a week ago, and after a few tests I can say I really love using all the awesome colors for my photography.
The kit includes 20 individual 30x48cm square sheets for color corrections (e.g. CTO, CTB, ND) and a range of different colors, all of them contained in a protected and resealable packaging. First, I tested every one of the gels on the skin to see what the colors rendered. After spending half an hour taping different gels onto my reflector dish with some gaffer tape, I started to work on my first image. 1. Blue, 2. Softbox no filter, 3. Magenta Since...
![Hike-Lapse: Man Walks the 2,600 Miles from Mexico to Canada and Snaps a Selfie Every Mile]()
A photographer named Andy Davidhazy hiked the 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. It was both a physical endeavor and a photographic one: every mile he traveled, Davidhazy stopped and took a single selfie. The video above is the time-lapse that he created after his epic journey. Here’s what Davidhazy looked like in the first and last selfies of his project: This effort was part of his new Lost or Found project. (via Lost or Found via Boing Boing) P.S. The current world record for completing the hike as quickly as possible was set in August 2014 by a man named...

Back in 2013, Vadym Chalenko successfully raised nearly $40,000 to launch a product called the Beastgrip, the first universal lens adapter and camera rig for smartphones. Now, two years later, he’s refreshing the Beastgrip with a new version that’s even more versatile and powerful. It’s called the Beastgrip Pro. The Beastgrip Pro was created based on feedback from customers of the original product. It’s compatible with any iOS, Android, and Windows phone, using a patent-pending design of adjustable clamps that adapts to virtually any device. Flexibility is one of the selling points of...
![Check Out the Nikon P900’s Ridiculous 83x Zoom]()
Earlier this month, we shared a video showing the incredible reach of the Canon SX60, a superzoom compact camera with a 65x lens. If you thought that video was crazy, check out this one featuring the new Nikon P900, which packs an even longer 83x optical zoom lens — the equivalent of a 24-2000mm lens in 35mm terms. Spanish camera website Quesabesde shot the test clip after taking the camera to Athens for a spin. They were able to stand on the terrace of their hotel and capture details of the Parthenon on the Acropolis in the distance: Here are a couple of sample shots by Quesabesde...
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson If you’re over a “certain” age, you remember creating slideshows for friends or family members to see. The viewing process required a projector and a screen, plus a darkened room to enable people to see the projected slides properly. Thankfully, things have moved on since then and it’s now much easier to show your photos to an audience. The advent of laptop computers, social media, blogs and photo sharing websites has rendered the old style of slideshow redundant. However, there’s still a place for the new style of slideshow – one viewed on a computer monitor,...
A Post By: Barry J Brady Light is the main ingredient in any photograph. Without light, you cannot make an image. Photography is all about drawing or painting with light. One book I read on the subject said that light IS the subject in photography, in many ways, this is true. Light is a difficult phenomenon to quantify. Most of the time, we don’t really think about light in our day to day lives. Shoot for the light… As a photographer however, light is your currency. Without it, you cannot create an image. If you were in a lightproof room, with no light entering the room at all, it would be...
Accessories manufacturer Manfrotto has announced a new series of consumer LED lights that offer portable continuous output for stills and video photographers from lightweight and compact housings. The Lumie Art, Play and Muse lights are powered by a USB rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that is said to deliver over an hour’s worth of continuous lighting. While the Art and Play models come with a hotshoe adapter and a tripod mount, the Muse additionally has a ball and socket head that makes angling the light easy. The three units differ in power, with the...
It’s impossible to talk about the NX500 without talking about its big brother the NX1, which we’ve been using intensively since it was launched later last year. I like the NX1 a lot. Even though most of my personal experience of shooting with it in late 2014 involved using a model running a beta version of a beta version of a beta version of Firmware 1.0, I was impressed. This is despite the fact that the early NX1 I was using had more bugs in it than Edward Snowden’s apartment, including a habit of resetting itself to German after every firmware...
Amazon has announced two new ‘unlimited’ storage plans as part of its Cloud Drive service. The Unlimited Photos plan costs $11.99 per year and an ‘Unlimited Everything’ plan allows users to store an infinite number of photos, videos, documents and music for $59.99 per year. Both services can be tried out for free for three months, starting now, and users who opt not to pay for the service after the trial period will be able to view and download their files for another 30 days. Of course, Amazon Prime subscribers already gained unlimited photo...
![Photographing Basketball in Rwanda]()
Back in June, I was lucky enough to partner with a Boston-based nonprofit, Shooting Touch, to travel to Rwanda and document the participants in their “Basketball Health Corps” initiative. They use the sport of basketball and their partnerships with health administrators to teach children valuable skills and preventative treatments when it comes to HIV/AIDS, malaria, and daily health. The stills were then used in their recent print and digital fundraising campaigns and were auctioned off at their annual gala. Photographs from the series are now hanging in the offices of Portland...

Apple’s new Macbook features a redesigned pressure-sensitive trackpad called the Force Touch. In addition to being more powerful for inputs from your fingers, the new design allows for the use of a stylus on the touchpad if you’d like to retouch your photographs tablet-style. Inklet by Ten One Design is the first 3rd party application for Mac that offers this. The app runs in the background while you’re using compatible programs such as Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Lightroom (it’ll work with any app that accepts pen input). A portion of your screen will be highlighted in a box,...
![Three Photographers Go Head-to-Head in Capturing ‘Intimacy’ with Strangers in 20 Minutes]()
Every year at the Gulf Photo Plus photography festival in Dubai, attendees are treated to a special event called the GPP ShootOut. Called the “most exciting hour in the photography world” by David Hobby, the event pits famous photographers head-to-head in creating the best photo they can on the spot. It’s a freestyle battle for imaging. You can watch this year’s GPP ShootOut 2015 in the 18-minute video above, which shows photographers Sara Lando, Ryan Brenizer and Joel Grimes battling each other with their eyes, minds, and camera gear. This year’s challenge: the photographers were...
![Analyzing a Collection of B&W Street Photos Captured Around the World]()
Last year I launched a new initiative called the Streettogs Academy, a biweekly challenge for motivating and sharpening the skills of street photographers around the world. Photographers are given 2 weeks to shoot photos for the latest theme and upload 1 to 3 of them to our Facebook page. Our latest assignment was “Black and White.” The submitted photos that received the most attention from members of the group were those that had the simple basic requirement of a good image: a strong visual hook. Here’s a look at photos. Photo by Helio Tomita Let’s start first with one of the best...
A Post By: Tim Gilbreath The golden hour. Even if you haven’t been involved in photography for very long, you undoubtedly have heard the term thrown around. As photographers we are in the business of capturing light, and there is no better light to have cast on our subjects, than sun light that is low on the horizon. The golden hour is defined as periods of time; specifically, the hour after sunrise, and the hour before sunset. The length and time of these occurrences depends on your location on our planet, and time of the year. Regardless of the type of photography you do, natural light...
A Post By: Andrew Faulk Since the birth of the camera, an overwhelming number of photographers have concentrated on portraiture. Capturing the personality, mood, or expression of a fellow human is sublimely beautiful. Because of this, many of us have thousands of portraits saved on hard drives, and eagerly await the next portrait contest. Honestly, how many of these portraits actually have visual impact? How many of our portraits are powerful enough to hold a viewer’s attention longer than a couple of seconds? We can continue to produce countless portraits that are stale and void of visual...
Reikan has announced a major update to its AF tuning software, FoCal. FoCal automates the process of calibrating your lens to your DSLR camera body, important – if not absolutely necessary – for critical focus when using fast lenses that yield shallow depth-of-field. Calibration options are typically available under ‘AF microadjustment’ (or AFMA for Canon and Sony bodies) or ‘AF Fine Tune’ (AFFT for Nikon bodies) menu items, with the process being pretty laborious and relying on the user to shoot many shots, throwing off focus in...
Instant film manufacturer Impossible has launched what it calls a Generation 2.0 film called B&W 2.0. The company claims it’s not only sharper and clearer than previous Impossible products, but also develops much quicker. The new film is the result of a new chemical formula for Impossible that has been developed by former Polaroid research chemist Stephen Herchen, and which aims to deliver more accurate tones, more contrast and ca visible image in just 20 seconds. Images become fully developed black and white prints over the course of 5 minutes, and don’t need...
Public domain image by Alex Wild, from the University of Texas ‘Insects Unlocked’ project. The University of Texas has initiated a new crowdfunding campaign that, if successful, will result in macro photos of insects being released into the public domain. The photos will be taken by the university’s Insect Image Lab under the guidance of Dr. Alex Wild, who is both the school’s curator of entomology and a professional photographer (also a confirmed ant photography enthusiast). The funding for the project will be used to support the students...

![Eerie Photos of an Abandoned NASCAR Speedway]()
The North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina was home to top NASCAR races from when it opened in 1949 through when it closed in 1996. It reopened briefly in 2010 but was shuttered again in 2011. Since then, it has been lying dormant as investors and businesses sort out the fate of the historic racetrack. Photographer Seph Lawless recently paid the track a visit, capturing what the location currently looks like years after it was bustling with racing fans and speeding cars. “This was America. Gone were the sounds of the car engines roaring. The squealing of the race car tires as...
![Chinese Official Busted for Corruption Related to His Love for Photography]()
As Chinese expands its anticorruption initiatives, quite a few government officials have met their political demise through being caught in a wide range of unethical behavior. One of them, a politician named Qin Yuhai, was busted under different circumstances than most: his corruption was related to his love for photography. The South China Morning Post reports that Qin, seen in the picture above that was used for a Kodak-sponsored exhibition, received millions of Chinese yuan worth of cameras, exhibitions, and gifts in return for business contracts. After investigating Qin’s career...
![Iconic Space Photos Are Actually B&W: Here’s How NASA Colorizes Hubble Shots]()
Did you know that the Hubble Space Telescope is only able to capture black-and-white photos? In order to capture a maximum amount of information in their space photos, NASA captures multiple black-and-white images using different filters in the camera. These images are then combined in post to create the iconic color photographs that you see published by the space agency. The video above shows how NASA goes about colorizing the photos by compositing the individual shots. The retoucher has blue, green, and red layers for light from oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur, respectively: By...
![I Found Photos by the Man Behind Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ in a London Junk Shop]()
Peter Fordham was a British photographer best-known for his music work in the 1970s. If you own a copy of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’, his second solo album, you’ll be familiar with his work. Fordham was the photographer who took the picture of Lennon, sat at his white piano with a pair of headphones on, at Lennon’s Tittenhurst Park home where the 1971 album was recorded. It’s a classic of rock music photography, Lennon singing into a hard black mic set against a stark white room, and was included as a fold-out poster in the album. Peter Fordham’s famous photo of John Lennon at his white...
![Portraits of New Mothers With Their Day-Old Babies]()
For the past five years, portrait photographer Jenny Lewis of Hackney, London, has been finding and photographing new mothers with their newborn babies within 24 hours after childbirth. She says her goal is to “capture the extraordinary bonding, warmth, and strength between mother and infant” as a natural mothering instinct kicks in. “I find the collection of images defiant and beautiful, challenging the expected vision of those first twenty-four hours, a pure celebration of what it means to be a mother,” she states. She wants to show the world that childbirth is a positive experience...
A Post By: Gina Milicia Regardless of the light source you use (daylight, continuous or flash) it’s really easy to use light modifiers or shapers to train the light in any direction you want. ***A quick note about costs Every kind of light modifier will have a top of the line version and a really cheap version. The main difference between the options is that the cheaper ones won’t be as durable. This becomes important when you’re using them every single day. When you’re learning how to use them however, I recommend choosing cheap versions. You’ll figure out how they work and save yourself a...
A Post By: Leanne Cole Quite some years ago when I was doing my Fine Art Degree at University I was working on an image which I wasn’t quite sure about. My tutor came over and asked what was wrong. I told him that I thought people wouldn’t like one aspect of it. He looked at me and said, “It’s your image, you can do anything you like to it.” Ever since then I keep repeating those words to myself. For a number of years now I’ve been putting images on the internet like so many other people. The internet is flooded with them, yet, since the advent of digital photography, there seems to be a...

![I Had 164 Rolls of Film Processed at Once: Here’s How I Do It]()
I recently stopped into the Costco in Mountain View, California with 164 rolls of Kodak Portra 400. You should’ve seen the look of the staff — it was a look of confusion, awe, and amazement. They were surprised that all that film I brought in was all shot by me. They were also partly worried that they would have to process all of it. I reassured them by telling them to take their time. I wasn’t in a rush. After all, I had been sitting on my film and letting them “marinate” for nearly a full year. The benefits of waiting to develop Garry Winogrand, one of the most prolific street...
![Lighting Fundamentals: High Speed Sync Versus Flash Duration]()
If you’re just getting started in learning how to light your shot with flashes, you may be confused about the terms “high speed sync” and “flash duration.” Here’s a helpful 6-minute primer in which photographer Daniel Norton explains what these two concepts are, how they differ, and which situations they come in handy for. In his first example, Norton uses high speed sync to shoot at 1/4000th of a second, well over the maximum sync speed of his flash (1/250s in normal mode), in order to capture an outdoor portrait at f/1.2 for a very shallow depth of field. Norton then uses a short...
![Instagram Announces Layout, an App for Combining Multiple Photos Into a Single Image]()
Today Instagram unveiled its new Layout. No, it’s not a redesign of the company’s website or app, but rather a new official app for easily combining multiple photos into single images that can quickly be shared. It’s not the first time Instagram has released an app separate from its main social networking product. You may remember that in August of last year the company launched a new hyperlapse creation app named Hyperlapse. The new Layout app helps combine photos from your Camera Roll in common ways with minimal effort. Users can create everything from simple arrangements to surreal...
![A Look at Composition in Documentary Photography]()
In my mind, there are three important elements of a photograph. Lighting, Composition and Moment. Every picture that I love has these elements, in varying amounts. A great picture may have strength in all three areas, or it may be, for example, such an emotional moment that it overpowers poor composition or light. But for this article I want to take a quick look at composition, and how photographers will be subconsciously considering many compositional elements when making pictures as well as editing and post processing later. Case Study #1 Here’s Lisa and Massimo, after their...
![Adaptalux: How I Designed a Light for the Everyday Macro Photographer]()
Product design is the notion of transforming an idea into a tangible object that has a purpose. Solving problems with products is what I like to do — it’s how I try to give something back to the world. Adaptalux is something I created recently to give photographers a portable macro studio wherever they go. It all started with a simple problem: how can I design a lighting product that photographers of all ability can understand and use easily? The one word that struck me was simplicity, and I made this a key design objective. Simplicity is a vital factor that influences both the...
A Post By: Karthika Gupta Most photographers will argue vehemently that the golden hour – that pocket of time just after sunrise and just before sunset – produces some of the most gorgeous light ever. Golden light shows up during this time, generally about an hour or so before sunset (after sunrise). However these times are not exact because golden light does depend on where you live. The further away from the equator you are located, the longer golden hour lasts. The closer to the equator you are, the shorter it is. Golden hour is also seasonal. There is a reason why most natural light...
A Post By: Phillip Van Nostrand This is exactly how I process every wedding that I photograph. I am now on my fifth year of shooting weddings and have shot roughly 70 of them. I am a big fan of working smart and not hard. Every step of my workflow is thought out, and belongs for very specific reasons. Most of the time I am finishing and delivering my wedding photos within four to five days. If it wasn’t for attention span and the internet, I should be able to finish wedding photographs in 24 hours every time. 1/100, f/5.0, ISO 2000, 15mm fisheye Step #1 – Import and backup (1-3 hours) I...
It’s not often that a smartphone being added to our studio test scene warrants a mention on our homepage, but it’s not everyday we see the likes of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1. It’s a photo-centric mobile device with a 1-inch 20MP sensor and an F2.8 28mm equiv. lens, capable of 4K video and Raw image output. See how it performs in our studio scene. Spoiler alert: the CM1’s noise performance is on par with the highly-regarded Sony RX100 line of cameras, which isn’t a huge surprise given it’s likely using the same or similar sensor. And...

![How to Turn an iPad and iPhone Into a Negative Film Viewing Station]()
A few years ago, we wrote about how phones can be used as negative film strip viewers by simply inverting the screens. Swedish photographer Adam af Ekenstam took the idea a step further by using an iPad and iPhone together as a simple yet powerful negative viewing station. Af Ekenstam uses his iPhone with a blank white screen as a lightbox alternative for backlighting the strips. On his iPad, he sets the screen to inverted and grayscale using the options found in Settings→General→Accessibility. He can then place any negative film strip in between the iPad and the iPhone with one of...

Nikon has announced a new product called the Nikon ASC-01, a new stainless steel insert for your camera’s hot shoe mount. It slides right into the mount when it’s not in use, giving your camera a shinier and more “complete” look. Here’s what the cover looks like when used on a Nikon DSLR: In addition to aesthetics, the cover has other benefits as well. It covers up your exposed hot shoe contact points, protecting them from the moisture and dust that cause the parts to scratch and corrode over time. The insert also keeps your hot shoe’s metal frame from getting bent out of shape from...

Say hello to drone pinhole photography. A photography class at the Rochester Institute of Technology has successfully created what appears to be the first documented case of a pinhole photograph captured from a drone. On March 19th, 2015, the Aerial Photography and Videography Class at the Rochester Institute of Technology captured a pinhole photograph of their cameras using a Phantom drone. Led by Professor Frank Cost, the class created the DIY camera out of the box that their Zenmuse gimbal arrived in, discovering that it was a perfect fit for the 4×5-inch film sheets they wished to...
A Post By: Viktoryia Vinnikava Nowadays it is very popular to have social dancing as hobby; people go dancing to the themed parties, special events, and travel to the international dance congresses. So definitely the subject of social dance photography is getting more interest worldwide. Doesn’t matter what kind of dance you enjoy the most – the challenges of capturing a great dance moment are very similar. Have you ever seen dark, blurry photos, taken from a weird angle of yourself on the dance floor? I bet your answer is yes. Being a dancer myself I could relate to such matters too, which...
A Post By: Viktor Elizarov Two months ago, after shooting for 10 years with Canon, I completely switched to Sony. It surprised some readers of my blog, as well as some fellow photographers. To address the issue, I published a detailed post on my blog with the reasons behind my switch. To save you time, I will summarize my reasoning, not only in one sentence but in one word: INNOVATION. I could see that, in the last two to three years, the main innovation was happening in the realm of mirrorless systems and I felt that Canon was simply an outside observer. I considered the switch for a long...

Here’s a behind-the-scenes video by photographer David Iliyn showing how he recently did an outdoor photo shoot with a musician with 12 separate off-camera flashes. The Oregon-based photographer used affordable Godox VT560 universal flash units, which cost about $35 each online, so you can pick up a dozen of them for $420. Here’s the portrait that resulted from the shoot: “The Godox flashes performed surprisingly well,” Iliyn says. “Kudos to Godox for creating a really, really cheap affordable flash. If you need something like a backup, this would definitely be the flash.” (via ISO...
![The $10 IKEA Piece: An Interesting Social Experiment on the Value of Art]()
When Peter Lik sold a print to a collector for $6.5 million last year, people balked at the news. Lik is known to be a savvy businessman who has raked in over $440 million by churning out and selling his “collectible” prints to deep-pocketed people who want to invest in his art, so why should his prints be worth so much? The Internet media channel LifeHunters recently did a social experiment that explores how people perceive and value art. They placed a $10 IKEA print in the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem, The Netherlands, and asked “art experts” what they thought about it. A team...
![Texas Lawmaker Receiving Death Threats for His Bill That Limits Photographing Cops]()
Texas House of Representatives lawmaker Jason Villalba sparked quite a controversy earlier this month after proposing a bill that would make it illegal to photograph a police officer from within 25 feet. People were so angered by the idea that Villalba has received death threats from angry members of the public. Local ABC station WFAA reports that, despite the threats against his life, Villalba does not plan to kill his bill. Instead, he is planning to “considerably rewrite it.” People upset at the original bill might not like the upcoming revisions, though. Villalba says he plans to...

Photographer David Noton was chosen by Canon to be the first landscape photographer in the world to experience a preproduction model of the new 50.6 megapixel Canon 5DS, the world’s highest resolution full frame DSLR. In this video, Noton, a Canon Explorer, shares his thoughts about the 5DS. Here’s what he has to say about the 5DS’s resolution and quality: In the past, all we photographers have always had to make this informed decision about how we balance ultimate quality versus portability of our systems. And for landscape photographers, we have to be able to move over the...

But when I got to number five on the list and saw Death Valley National Park, I was astonished. Fink writes in the brief article that the best way to simulate a visit to Death Valley is to...

MinutePhysics just released this interesting (and somewhat math-y) explanation of how cameras and computers deal with the concept of color. The video is titled “Computer Color is Broken.” The main concept discussed is something known as gamma correction, or encoding images in a way that stores more information for darker tones that human eyeballs can differentiate between, and less information for lighter tones that eyes have a hard time telling apart. When manipulating images and colors, programs could most accurately do so by working with the “real” values of colors rather than...
![Microscope Photos Show the Abstract Beauty of the World All Around Us]()
Photographer Linden Gledhill is a photographer who uses his background in biochemistry to capture gorgeous abstract images of the world at a microscopic level. His images are of various substances and chemical reactions, captured with high-tech microscope cameras that create focused stacked photos of extremely high resolutions. In addition to using standard microscopes and science equipment for his work, Gledhill often creates custom rigs for specific photo projects. His experiments have led to a number of novel focus stacking and high speed systems, including the StackShot...
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt By Brett Davies Image which show emotions or evoke them are powerful. But what kinds of emotions can be captured or portrayed in a photograph?

The bolts that hold the holster together are made of steel, and the screw of the quick release plate is solid brass. The plate is...
![New Contacts and Glasses Give You 2.8x Zoom with a Wink of the Eye]()
Tired of having eyeballs with fixed focal lengths? Scientists have developed new telescopic contact lenses and glasses that can give your eyes 2.8x zoom with a simple wink of the eye. The prototypes, developed by researchers at EPFL in Switzerland, are designed to provide enhanced vision for the estimated 285 million visually impaired people worldwide. Each of the contact lenses gives a 2.8x zoom boost using a “thin reflective telescope” embedded into the 1.55mm thick lens. Small mirrors bounce light around, magnifying the view for the wearer. In addition to the fixed focal length...
![EliteDaily Sued by Photographer for Sharing Photos in Blog Post Without Permission]()
In an age in which pageviews are supreme, blogs and other online publications often ignore copyright laws, publishing viral photographs without permission in order to attract clicks and eyeballs. While much of the time this type of behavior flies under the radar, sometimes the unethical behavior comes back to bite the publishers hard when photographers do notice and take action. Here’s one of the latest examples: photojournalist Peter Menzel has filed a lawsuit against the blog EliteDaily for sharing his photos in a viral post without permission.The article was published back on April...

Another rare Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye lens is for sale, and this time in a rather unusual place: Craigslist. That’s right, someone around London is selling one of the rarest Nikon lenses through a simple classified listing spotted by one of our readers. The title of the listing is simply “Nikon 6mm F2.8 Ultra-Fisheye Lens (220 deg.)“: The seller says that the lens has some minor marks on “the threaded ¼-20 screw inserts,” but the body is otherwise in “perfect shape.” You’ll also get a custom foam carrying case for the lens and the original spec sheet, an instruction manual, and a...
![If You Don’t Think Photos Are Important, Wait Until They Are All You Have Left]()
I was in kindergarten when this photo was taken. It was the night of my first ballet recital. First and last, actually. I decided I didn’t have the patience for ballet, nor ballet for me. The photo was taken right before we headed out the door to a ballet performance on par with a train wreck. But really, none of that matters. What does matter is the man who was holding me in the photo. That’s my dad and when I say I adored him, that doesn’t even come close to saying what he meant to me. He died many many years ago, much too early. And when I look back on our times together, a lot of...
![The Photographic Dictionary Defines Words with User Submitted Images]()
The Photographic Dictionary is a project dedicated to defining English words “through the literal, figurative, and personal meanings found in each photograph.” Each word and definition in the dictionary is accompanied by a photographer-submitted image that illustrates it in some way. The project is the brainchild of Iowa-based photographer Lindley Warren, who curates the submissions to maintain a threshold of quality. On the front page of the website is an index of letters: Each letter’s page contains an index of words that begin with that letter: The individual definition pages...
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth One of the most common questions I hear from people just starting out in photography is, “What program should I use to edit my photos?”. There are many free options such as iPhoto, Picasa, GIMP, and other commercial programs such as AfterShot Pro and Pixelmator but the most popular programs are Photoshop and Lightroom. That question is usually followed by another, which seems quite logical, “What’s the difference between Photoshop and Lightroom?”. While the two programs do share many similarities, and are both widely used by the photographic community, they each...

The Footy Show and image courtesy of Nine Network Australia © Gina Milicia 2015 If you own a camera and are known in your circle of friends as an enthusiast or a pro, there’s a really good chance you’ve been asked to photograph an event. An event is basically any time a group of three or more people gather together to celebrate a milestone. This could be your best friend’s wedding, Uncle Dave’s 50th birthday, your next-door neighbor’s bar mitzvah, your cousin Maria’s engagement, a product or corporate event,...

![Too Hard to Keep: A Collection of Photographs People Couldn’t Bear to Live With]()
Photographs help us remember important moments in our lives, but what happens when they capture things we’d rather forget? Sometimes photos are so painful that their owners can’t bear to live with them, and that’s the premise behind photographer Jason Lazarus‘ project THTK, short for “Too Hard to Keep”. Since 2010, Lazarus has been collecting photos that people deem “too painful to live with any longer.” The online repository “is a place for photographs, photo-objects, and digital files to exist without being destroyed,” Lazarus says. Some owners who submit photos to the project give...

Since 2013, photographer Kathy Shorr has been shooting portraits of subjects who have been shot by guns — the victims and survivors of gun violence from around the United States. The ongoing project is titled “SHOT” and now contains over 50 portraits. Karina, the subject seen in the portrait above, was shot three years ago at the age of 16 while she was standing outside her high school in Aurora, Colorado, with a group of friends. She was an unintended victim of a drive by shooting by gang members seeking revenge. Shorr says that she wanted to do a documentary series of images that...

A Post By: Daniel Korzeniewski When it comes to travel photography, I am all in for carrying less. However, a good flash is always within reach in my everyday camera bag. I strongly believe that a flash helps to achieve much better results in a number of situations, and here are five reasons and examples: 1) Fill the shadows The alleyway that protects these fishing villagers from the heat in Vietnam makes it almost impossible to have a good balance between the bright sunlight on the river, and the walls of the alley.

PBS series Art in the 21st Century recently released this 6-minute look at the work of photographer Trevor Paglen, a guy who points his camera through astronomy telescopes at secret military sites to photography things that are off limits to the public. As we shared back in 2012, Paglen calls his imagery “Limit Telephotography.” Even though classified locations do appear in Paglen’s images, the photographs are distorted by the atmospheric conditions in the great distances between camera and subject. This generally makes the things seen in Paglen’s photos unidentifiable. Here’s one of...

A couple of years ago, photographer Kevin Russ packed some belongings into his car, traveled tens of thousands of miles across the US, and documented his journey with his iPhone camera. The trip earned Russ quite a bit of media attention and a sizable online following. Last year he embarked on an even more rugged journey: traveling across the Southwestern United States by freight train with just his phone and a few possessions. The journey started when Russ’ buddy Levi asked him to accompany him on a trip from California to Colorado by hopping onto trains. “I was somewhat fearful and...

I rather admire Fuji for its recognition that photography is a passion, not just a job, for most of us and that we like to have nice looking things that work well. Most cameras are designed like most cars – to be efficient and to do a job well, but it is usually hard to get excited about the way that they look. Fuji’s X series has really made a mark in the camera world, and a good deal of the attention surrounding it has come...

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson If you’re over a “certain” age, you remember creating slideshows for friends or family members to see. The viewing process required a projector and a screen, plus a darkened room to enable people to see the projected slides properly. Thankfully, things have moved on since then and it’s now much easier to show your photos to an audience. The advent of laptop computers, social media, blogs and photo sharing websites has rendered the old style of slideshow redundant. However, there’s still a place for the new style of slideshow – one viewed on a computer monitor,...
Finding the Best Quality of Light During the Day

A Post By: Barry J Brady Light is the main ingredient in any photograph. Without light, you cannot make an image. Photography is all about drawing or painting with light. One book I read on the subject said that light IS the subject in photography, in many ways, this is true. Light is a difficult phenomenon to quantify. Most of the time, we don’t really think about light in our day to day lives. Shoot for the light… As a photographer however, light is your currency. Without it, you cannot create an image. If you were in a lightproof room, with no light entering the room at all, it would be...

It’s impossible to talk about the NX500 without talking about its big brother the NX1, which we’ve been using intensively since it was launched later last year. I like the NX1 a lot. Even though most of my personal experience of shooting with it in late 2014 involved using a model running a beta version of a beta version of a beta version of Firmware 1.0, I was impressed. This is despite the fact that the early NX1 I was using had more bugs in it than Edward Snowden’s apartment, including a habit of resetting itself to German after every firmware...

The subject is news photography. This was the most wonderful experience for any man or woman to go through. It’s like a modern Aladdin’s Lamp, you rub it and, in this case the camera, you push the button and it gives you the things you want. News photography teaches you to think fast, to be sure of yourself, self confidence. When you go out on a story, you don’t go back for another sitting. You gotta get it. And, I have found covering stories as they happen – in my particular case I didn’t wait till somebody gave me a job or something – I went and created a job for myself; freelance...

Tips for Creating Landscape Photos during the Golden Hour
Posted by Chris Roubis on 26th, Mar, 2015 |

A Post By: Tim Gilbreath The golden hour. Even if you haven’t been involved in photography for very long, you undoubtedly have heard the term thrown around. As photographers we are in the business of capturing light, and there is no better light to have cast on our subjects, than sun light that is low on the horizon. The golden hour is defined as periods of time; specifically, the hour after sunrise, and the hour before sunset. The length and time of these occurrences depends on your location on our planet, and time of the year. Regardless of the type of photography you do, natural light...
4 Tips for Creating Portraits with Impact

A Post By: Andrew Faulk Since the birth of the camera, an overwhelming number of photographers have concentrated on portraiture. Capturing the personality, mood, or expression of a fellow human is sublimely beautiful. Because of this, many of us have thousands of portraits saved on hard drives, and eagerly await the next portrait contest. Honestly, how many of these portraits actually have visual impact? How many of our portraits are powerful enough to hold a viewer’s attention longer than a couple of seconds? We can continue to produce countless portraits that are stale and void of visual...
Reikan announces major update to FoCal AF tuning software
Posted by Chris Roubis on 26th, Mar, 2015 |

Reikan has announced a major update to its AF tuning software, FoCal. FoCal automates the process of calibrating your lens to your DSLR camera body, important – if not absolutely necessary – for critical focus when using fast lenses that yield shallow depth-of-field. Calibration options are typically available under ‘AF microadjustment’ (or AFMA for Canon and Sony bodies) or ‘AF Fine Tune’ (AFFT for Nikon bodies) menu items, with the process being pretty laborious and relying on the user to shoot many shots, throwing off focus in...
Impossible launches B&W 2.0 quick-process instant film for 600 series cameras

Instant film manufacturer Impossible has launched what it calls a Generation 2.0 film called B&W 2.0. The company claims it’s not only sharper and clearer than previous Impossible products, but also develops much quicker. The new film is the result of a new chemical formula for Impossible that has been developed by former Polaroid research chemist Stephen Herchen, and which aims to deliver more accurate tones, more contrast and ca visible image in just 20 seconds. Images become fully developed black and white prints over the course of 5 minutes, and don’t need...

Equivalent aperture means the same shot noise, the same DOF and the same diffraction softening. Like it or not, this is what it is and saying that this lens is f/3 equivalent is absolutely correct. In the same way, 23mm is the actual FL, and 35mm is the equivalent one. Do a test if you want. The lens is 23/2. A fact, it is what it is. It is 34.5/3 equivalent – meaning the same DOF, shot noise, diffraction, AOV as an 34.5/3 lens on FF. It is also 34.5mm equivalent, f/2. It is also f/3 equivalent, 23mm. All those four statements are absolutely correct but some are more misleading than...

A Post By: Gina Milicia Regardless of the light source you use (daylight, continuous or flash) it’s really easy to use light modifiers or shapers to train the light in any direction you want. ***A quick note about costs Every kind of light modifier will have a top of the line version and a really cheap version. The main difference between the options is that the cheaper ones won’t be as durable. This becomes important when you’re using them every single day. When you’re learning how to use them however, I recommend choosing cheap versions. You’ll figure out how they work and save yourself a...

By Angela Pritchard – Fourteen years ago, when my husband and I tied the knot, we could not afford to hire a wedding photographer. Instead, we bought a few of those one-time use cameras and had family members take photos. Needless to say, we didn’t get any really good, memorable photos. Over the years I have gone through countless wedding photos posted on the internet and so many of them are images that I would have loved to have had to remember my wedding by. In the last few years I have actually photographed several weddings for friends and family. I make sure to photograph every single...
Tips for Using Golden Hour Light for Portraits
Posted by Chris Roubis on 24th, Mar, 2015 |
no responses
A Post By: Karthika Gupta Most photographers will argue vehemently that the golden hour – that pocket of time just after sunrise and just before sunset – produces some of the most gorgeous light ever. Golden light shows up during this time, generally about an hour or so before sunset (after sunrise). However these times are not exact because golden light does depend on where you live. The further away from the equator you are located, the longer golden hour lasts. The closer to the equator you are, the shorter it is. Golden hour is also seasonal. There is a reason why most natural light...

It’s not often that a smartphone being added to our studio test scene warrants a mention on our homepage, but it’s not everyday we see the likes of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1. It’s a photo-centric mobile device with a 1-inch 20MP sensor and an F2.8 28mm equiv. lens, capable of 4K video and Raw image output. See how it performs in our studio scene. Spoiler alert: the CM1’s noise performance is on par with the highly-regarded Sony RX100 line of cameras, which isn’t a huge surprise given it’s likely using the same or similar sensor. And...
[UPDATED] Can we get much wider? Canon EF 11-24mm F4 L USM samples gallery posted

Incorrect. We have yet to see how the lens performs on a high res Canon body. Furthermore, the edge to edge performance is still pretty impressive even adapted on an a7R. Also, the shots on the rocky beach are a pretty stressful case for any lens – those rocks were ~1 ft or so away from the lens. I tried to find the hyperfocal distance as best I could to get everything in focus in a single shot, but undoubtedly the edge-to-edge performance of objects at infinity probably won’t be as good when you focus at the hyperfocal distance vs. focusing at infinity. As for a Sony camera...

The later becomes problematic given the apparent need for art, commercial or otherwise, to challenge boundary as part of its historical evolution. Photography, as a particular media, has had a long history of grappling with the notion of ‘truth’ or ‘the real’. Even photography embracing less...

A Post By: Viktoryia Vinnikava Nowadays it is very popular to have social dancing as hobby; people go dancing to the themed parties, special events, and travel to the international dance congresses. So definitely the subject of social dance photography is getting more interest worldwide. Doesn’t matter what kind of dance you enjoy the most – the challenges of capturing a great dance moment are very similar. Have you ever seen dark, blurry photos, taken from a weird angle of yourself on the dance floor? I bet your answer is yes. Being a dancer myself I could relate to such matters too, which...
5 Lessons Learned Switching from DSLR to Mirrorless for Travel Photography
Posted by Chris Roubis on 23rd, Mar, 2015 |

A Post By: Viktor Elizarov Two months ago, after shooting for 10 years with Canon, I completely switched to Sony. It surprised some readers of my blog, as well as some fellow photographers. To address the issue, I published a detailed post on my blog with the reasons behind my switch. To save you time, I will summarize my reasoning, not only in one sentence but in one word: INNOVATION. I could see that, in the last two to three years, the main innovation was happening in the realm of mirrorless systems and I felt that Canon was simply an outside observer. I considered the switch for a long...

Magazines like Communication Arts are full of stuff like this, and call this photography, but I don’t agree with it. This is actually digital illustration work, but done through elements of photography. So this is not photography per se. It is staged, and unreal. Same as life in the movie set is not real life of a person, but staged. And we don’t call movies real life. Photography, likewise, is supposed to memorise elements of reality, or, the truth. And even then, when going through a mountain of negatives that showed truth, photographers would look at all of them to pick one...

A Post By: James Brandon An ages old mesquite tree looking up at one of the darkest rated night skies in America. I recently came across an article by Bill Fink on Yahoo titled “Our Tax Dollars Pay for What? The Nation’s Worst National Parks.” In all fairness, there are some pretty lame national parks and monuments, I’m not going to argue that. Certainly a few of them ended up on this list as expected. But when I got to number five on the list and saw Death Valley National Park, I was astonished. Fink writes in the brief article that the best way to simulate a visit to Death Valley is to...

When you are working in the Develop module press S on the keyboard which will show you the soft proofing for the image.

Really interesting views from the panel, thanks.It’s funny how everyone always goes on about how important glass is, and yet 95% of this discussion was focused on camera bodies.I get that the future is probably smaller/lighter/even more electronic than today; however the DSLR format doesn’t get enough credit. It’s a very mature platform that just works. And the lens systems, particularly for FF Canon and Nikon, are unsurpassed still.I think the DSLR v mirrorless debate is a bit moot. A DSLR can enjoy the same on-sensor technologies as a mirrorless, and for a given SENSOR...

There are many free options such as iPhoto, Picasa, GIMP, and other commercial programs such as AfterShot Pro and Pixelmator but the most popular programs are Photoshop and Lightroom. That question is usually followed by another, which seems quite logical, “What’s the difference between Photoshop and Lightroom?”. While the two programs do share many similarities, and are both widely used by the photographic community, they each...

The Ganges river in India and Bangladesh is the holiest river in Hinduism. Every day, hundreds of dead bodies are brought to the banks of the river by family members and cremated ceremonially on a flaming pyre. On hand to document these rituals for loved ones are death photographers — young men who make a living by shooting last images of the deceased for a fee. The video above is a short 8-minute documentary by Seeker Stories that offers a glimpse into the lives of some death photographers and the unique work that they do (warning: there are many images of dead and burning bodies)....

A Post By: Daniel Korzeniewski When it comes to travel photography, I am all in for carrying less. However, a good flash is always within reach in my everyday camera bag. I strongly believe that a flash helps to achieve much better results in a number of situations, and here are five reasons and examples: 1) Fill the shadows The alleyway that protects these fishing villagers from the heat in Vietnam makes it almost impossible to have a good balance between the bright sunlight on the river, and the walls of the alley. The use of flash, in a controlled way, over the foreground helps to open up...

Rock steady: Olympus OM-D E-M5 II reviewed
Posted by Chris Roubis on 19th, Mar, 2015 |
no responses
Good solid review I think. I bought an Em5 II and am liking it very much so far. With good lenses (I have the 12-40 f2.8, 40-150 f2.8 and 60 Macro) it’s a formidable camera. Yes, you will have better images at high ISO with some other mirrorless cameras, but I chose the OMD due to the excellent lens selection and size/weight advantages. It’s very versatile, robust, and can deliver great images. I found it interesting that the review basically found the EM5 II delivers images equal or better than the Canon 70D, which I had considered buying a couple of years ago due to its...

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.
