![Make a Pocket Portfolio for a Way to Stand Out When Out and About]()
As a photographer, I’m constantly striving for new ways to stand out. While considering that some of the greatest opportunities to create a lasting impression on a potential client in my realm (motorcycle and automotive photography) are at trade shows, or highly publicized events, sometimes all you have is one shot. But how do I set myself apart from the hundreds of other hobbyists walking the showroom floor with a DSLR, a Facebook fan page and a business card itching for work? Digital portfolios are great, but the decision for the potential client to revisit your work is totally in...
![Top Instagram Users Making Thousands Per Photo by Promoting Products]()
It pays to have a lot of Instagram followers — literally. Top users on the photo-sharing service these days are finding that their simple picture snapping can be turned into real dollars, and a lot of them at that. The numbers may astound you: some users are receiving thousands of dollars in exchanging for sharing a single photo that promotes a company’s products.Yahoo Tech recently published an interesting article about the world of sponsored Instagram photos. They found that Instagram’s exploding popularity and the rise of everyday Insta-celebrities have led to a big growth in how...
![An Algorithm That Can Distinguish Beautiful Portraits From Ugly Ones]()
Could machines be trained to tell the difference between a beautiful portrait photo and a not-so-pleasing one? Beauty is pretty subjective, but scientists are trying to boil down the common properties of beautiful digital portrait photos so that a computer can be trained to spot them. Along the way, they’re revealing interesting new things about what people look for in portraits. The study’s findings was published by Yahoo Labs researchers back in late January in a paper titled “The Beauty of Capturing Faces: Rating the Quality of Digital Portraits.” In it, they laid out “a specific...
![The Secret Garden: Photographer Builds an Elaborate Set in Her Attic for Surreal Portraits]()
Since last year, Canadian photographer Daniela Majic has been working on an ongoing series titled “Secret Garden.” It’s a collection of surreal portraits created with elaborate handmade costumes and impressive garden sets constructed inside Majic’s tiny attic. “I treat the garden set as an art installation,” Majic tells us. “Every month I repurpose the entire set to create and shoot new concepts and characters.” Here’s an in-depth look at the images she has created for the series so far.

![Podo is a Stick and Shoot Camera for a Photo Booth You Can Take Anywhere]()
Podo is a new wireless and sticky camera that serves as an on-the-go photo booth. Instead of shooting pictures of yourself at arms length, with a selfie stick, or with the help of a stranger, you’ll be able to stick the camera to most flat surfaces and trigger the shot with your phone. The main innovation behind the Podo is the sticky surface on the back of the camera. It’s not tape or glue, so it doesn’t get less sticky over time. Instead, it’s a special pad that’s covered with thousands of microscopic suction cups, allowing it to attach firmly to pretty much any solid and flat...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Ah spring! The smell of fresh flowers in the air, an early morning dew on the grass, and rain shower in the afternoon – some of the signs that spring might be here. Bowen Chin What images pop into your mind when you think of spring? Baby birds, leaves forming on the trees, the last puddles of snow melting, the bees coming to visit the new flowers?

![Divoom Bluetune-Bean is a Bluetooth Speaker That Doubles as a Wireless Shutter Release]()
As smartphone photography and selfie culture become more ubiquitous, we’re starting to see new products that aim to make snapping smartphone shots simpler. First came the selfie stick, and now there’s a new product called the Divoom Bluetune-Bean. It’s an ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker that has a feature that sets it apart: on the side is a shutter button for triggering the camera on your phone. The speaker can be paired with any Bluetooth-capable device for playing music while you’re out and about. If your device is an iPhone or Android smartphone, the speaker can double as a...
![A Look at How Colorizer Dana Keller Breathes New Life Into Historical Photos]()
Dana Keller has made a name for himself as a talented photo colorizer, using his Photoshop skills to offer an idea of what historical black-and-white photos might have looked like had the photographer been able to shoot in color. The video above is a 6-minute look at how Keller approaches the task of colorization. Keller says his background in photography helped him to see things in historical photos. “I was able to see the effects of lighting and texture, and different mediums as well have different qualities of color, so I decided to see if I could emulate that within these...

A video posted by Paul Luning (@pluning) on Feb 14, 2015 at 9:45am PST Maho Beach in the Caribbean islands is famous for being a place where you can stand directly under airliners as they’re landing at Princess Juliana International Airport. With giant airplanes roaring so close overhead, the beach is a popular photo spot that results in some unbelievable images. Photographer and travel blogger Paul Luning recently paid a visit to the beach, capturing the eye-opening video above that shows just how close the planes come to the people on the beach below. “Visiting Maho Beach in Saint...
![Photos of a Last Trip to the Beach to Give a Dying Pit Bull the Vacation of a Lifetime]()
In August 2014, photographer Zhenia Bulawka and her boyfriend Christian took their three dogs on a special trip to the beach. One of their beloved dogs, an 11-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier named Mr. Dukes, was dying of cancer, and Bulawka wanted to give him a vacation of a lifetime before he passed away. The Baltimore, Maryland-based photographer says that Mr. Dukes’ favorite activity has always been swimming in the family pool. This vacation was therefore extra special, as it was the dog’s first time seeing the ocean. It was a three hour trip to the beach at Assateague,...

A Post By: Karthika Gupta Let me first address the obvious that while this article talks about safety tips for women photographers, it does not mean that these tips don’t apply to men as well. Most are general tips that could be applied to both genders. Being a woman photographer who has started to venture out alone for photoshoots and solo photowalks, these are things that I notice and practice as I do travel photography. Solo Hiking the Appalachian Trail – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA It all started with a single trip. A couple of years ago while visiting Great Smoky Mountain...
A Post By: Eric Kim You want to be the best photographer you can. You’re constantly trying to educate yourself, improve, and take your photography to the next level. But how can you take your photography to new heights, and stand out from the crowd? The secret is thinking big. If you look at successful individuals outside of photography such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Larry Page – what do these leaders have in common? How were they able to leverage their strengths, continuously add value to the world, and become successful at what they do? In the book “Bold”, author Peter...

While we were at CP+ 2015 in Japan, we met with Tamron, and the company was kind enough to lend us their newly announced 15-30mm F2.8 Di VC USD. In Nikon mount, no less. Why the big deal about it being Nikon mount? Because that means we can attach it natively to the Nikon D810 – the highest-resolution DSLR currently on the market (until the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DSR show up in June). 15-30mm is a wide range for a full-frame zoom, made more impressive by the inclusion of vibration compensation (VC). The wide F2.8 aperture and inclusion of VC do mean the lens is rather...
![World Press Photo Strips Giovanni Troilo of His First Prize Win for Misrepresenting Photo]()
In a surprising turn of events, the World Press Photo organization has announced that it will be withdrawing the 1st prize award it had given photographer Giovanni Troilo for his Contemporary Issues series “The Dark Heart of Europe.” This comes one day after a new claim surfaced that accused Troilo of misrepresenting where a photo was shot. Just to rewind a bit: last month, Troilo’s photo series came under series scrutiny after the town he focused on accused him of staging his shots to paint it in a negative light. WPP investigated the claims but decided to stand by its award, saying...
![When Life Gives You Lemons, Just Keep on Shooting]()
Earlier this year, I dropped my Minolta 28mm f/2.8 in the ocean where it sat submerged for at least two minutes. I don’t have any tools on hand to tear it down to clean it out. I let it sit overnight on the air conditioner. The next morning, it had drops of water all over the inside elements and the aperture blades were sticking. After making sure that no water would come out of the rear of the lens and get inside my camera body, I decided to take it out and shoot with it just as it is. I was curious to see to what degree it affects the image and if it creates any cool effects. Not...

While major art museums around the world are issuing bans on selfie sticks, there’s one unusual museum in the Philippines that’s continuing to encourage visitors to capture silly portraits with paintings. In fact, that’s what the museum is all about. Called Art in Island, the museum is full of creative paintings that are designed to act as 3D illusion photo backdrops for guests. Here’s a short video by Mashable that introduces this unique tourist spot: The museum is found in Manila, which is known as the selfie capital of the world, and this is one place where people can indulge their...
![A Discussion About the Term ‘Shutter Speed’ Being a Misnomer That Stuck]()
The word “speed” is used a lot in the world of photography equipment — things like lens speed, film speed, and shutter speed. But speed is generally used to refer to how quickly something travels or operates per unit time, rather than a period of time itself. So is the term “shutter speed” a misnomer? A reader tells us that they were recently trying to explain the basic concept of shutter speed to a friend, when she suddenly realized that the term is a strange choice of words. Instead of “exposure time,” photographers often talk of shutter speed to refer to how long the shutter...

A Post By: Angie Baxter A natural smile – the holy grail of child photography. A genuine, heartfelt smile is more than just turning up the corners of the mouth. A real smile radiates from your whole face, and particularly for children, is often felt with the whole body. Not only is a forced and fake smile easy to spot in photographs – we know that wearing a fake smile and having it photographed doesn’t feel too good at the time, and it doesn’t feel great for children either. So while we want to photograph a child’s beautiful smile, we also want them to enjoy the process of being...
A Post By: Tim Gilbreath If you’re a beginner in the wonderful world of photography, if you’ve never used an older film camera, or a combination of both, you might be unfamiliar with the workings of manual focus. Even if you are, you may not have thought about how you would use it in real-world situations. Fortunately as DSLR owners, we have the best of both worlds between manual and automatic focusing; we have a choice as to how we decide the subject of our photo, and other points that aren’t as important. This is an advantage for you, and having a better understanding of the “other”...
At this year’s CP+ show in Yokohama Japan we made time to sit down with several senior executives from major manufacturers, including Sigma. In this interview with Kazuto Yamaki, CEO of Sigma, we spoke about the challenges of making lenses for ever-increasing pixel counts, the company’s ‘small office, big factory’ philosophy and why the company is continuing to make cameras.

Independent Japanese flash manufacturer Nissin has announced it is to introduce a new wireless flash system that uses radio transmission. The first gun to be compatible with the company’s Nissin Air System (NAS) will be an adapted version of the Di700 flash unit. The Di700A will have the same specification as the GN48m/157ft current model, but will also feature a 2.4GHz radio transmitter that will be able to communicate with other NAS guns and the Nissin Commander Air 1 command unit from a distance of up to 30m. The Di700A head, which has a 24-200mm zoom head and a top...
Chinese company Xiaomi, perhaps best known for its smartphones, has introduced a new GoPro competitor called the Yi Action Camera. This new action camera will only be sold inside of China for the equivalent of approximately $64 USD (399 CNY); the company doesn’t, as of now, have plans to sell it elsewhere. This still poses a problem for GoPro, however, which has recently been looking to expand into the Chinese market. The Yi Action Camera in many ways resembles GoPro’s own action cameras, something that isn’t surprising given Xiaomi’s history of...
Three full-frame prime lenses on Sony’s lens roadmap officially arrived today which, including the 24-240, brings the total number of FE lenses to eleven.

20th Century Fox has come up with an unusual way to promote its upcoming film Unfinished Business. Teaming up with Getty Images and its iStock service, the studio has created a series of generic-looking stock photos showing Vince Vaughn and his co-stars in a corporate atmosphere.Adweek, which first shared the photos, reports that 12 photos were created for the campaign. They will be shared in groups of 4 over the next three weeks through the premiere of the film on March 6, 2015. As you can see, the images poke fun at the cold, sterile look you’ll find in Getty stock photos of office...

Charles Peterson is known for being one of the primary photographers on the forefront of the grunge music scene when it emerged from the Seattle underground during the 80s and 90s. He was able to capture images showing the movement from its inception through the days of bands such as Nirvana becoming huge commercial successes in the music industry. Peterson became the unofficial photographer for the record label Sub Pop, which was started in 1986 and went on to become the first label for bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney.

![Photographer Proposes by Flashing the Big Question Onto His Girlfriend’s Portrait Backdrop]()
Three years ago, photographer Marvin Lewis and his then-girlfriend-of-5-years Amanda Marie began an annual tradition of doing a photo shoot on their anniversary. For this year’s photo shoot on the couple’s 8th annivesary, Lewis decided to make it extra special by asking Amanda to marry him. The way he popped the question involves photography in a clever way: he projected the big question onto the studio backdrop using his off-camera flash, allowing Amanda to see it when she reviewed the photo on the back of the DSLR. Lewis projected the words “Amanda Will you marry me” onto the...

![Black Backgrounds]()
By Joseph Tepper
Black backgrounds—they’re artsy, stylish, sleek. Most importantly they can make a colorful subject “pop” against the flat black. But how do underwater photographers go about creating this effect?
About Black Backgrounds
The natural inclination when seeing an image with a black background is that it was taken at night, since the water is pitch black at this time. And while you can certainly capture black backgrounds at night, with the right settings and...

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson You have probably seen several portrait retouching programs advertised in magazines or online, and wondered if they were worth buying. The answer is no. I have tried out quite a few, and the truth is that the Soften Skin preset in Lightroom does just as good a job as any of them. For most photographers Lightroom’s retouching tools all are you will ever need. For high end retouching purposes you can go to Photoshop. It’s worthwhile taking some time to think about your personal approach to portrait retouching. Some photographers seem to like the airbrushed, almost...

The lovely hostess hands me a hot, scented towel as I shout ”Bollocks” while slapping myself firmly on the forehead. She gives me a justified look of disdain while I apologize for my outburst and then start begging her to contact Lost & Found as soon as possible. You see, I’d stupidly left my gorgeous carbon fibre, ball head tripod, in one of those plastic trays into which all airports now force you to empty your worldly goods before being...

Lowepro is known for its extensive collection of sporty and durable camera bags, but one word that probably doesn’t come to mind when you think of the company is “luxury.” It wants to change that. Today Lowepro unleashed a new line of photo equipment luggage that “brings trusted protection to the discerning” photographer. It’s called Echelon. “Don’t just get there.

The Echelon series represents Lowepro’s first attempt at creating high-end bags geared toward “the fashionable, discerning professional who has perfected his or her craft.” It’s a...

If GoPro camera prices drop far below $100 in the future, you may have a Chinese company called Xiaomi to thank. Known for its popular smartphones that dominate the Chinese market, the company has launched a new product called the Yi Action Camera that aims to become the GoPro of China while costing just a fraction of the price. While the entry-level GoPro Hero costs $130 in the United States, Xiaomi’s action camera will go on sale in China for just ¥399, or roughly $64.

The B2 comprises a battery pack and a head. The former can be attached to your...

We shared last week that the Belgian town of Charleroi was protesting after a series of photos casting it in a bad light was awarded 1st prize at the prestigious World Press Photo contest.

![Photographer Captures What Male Entitlement Feels Like to Women Who Experience It]()
“Boundaries” is a project by photographer Allaire Bartel that aims to capture what it feels like to be a woman in an atmosphere of male entitlement. The Pittsburgh-based photographer tells us that the project started last year during a mentoring program that had “boundaries” as the theme. At the time, there was a lot of discussion online about what it meant to be a woman in a man’s world, and plenty of stories of violence and abuse against women. Bartel says she wanted to create a series of photos that interpreted the conversation in her own way — photos that could express the idea...
A Post By: Nick Fancher The scene setup – by placing parking a car in the shade of a building on a sunny day, you can use the ambient light as your main light, illuminating the contours of the vehicle. Photographing reflective surfaces is no walk in the park. So, as you can imagine, photographing cars, which are essentially just giant reflective objects, is really difficult. It comes with all the same challenges, magnifies them, and adds the new wrinkle of your subject being too heavy to reposition easily. Sounds like fun, right? It can be, and it can still be pulled off without the use of a...
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth What operation on a camera could possibly be more simple than pressing the shutter button to take a picture? There’s not much to it, really – you look through the viewfinder (or at the LCD screen on the back of the camera), press a button with your index finger, wait for the camera to focus, and voilà! You’ve got a photo. Well, as the popular saying goes, what if I told you there was a better way? Hidden deep within the settings of most cameras is a feature called Back Button Focusing, and enabling it can transform your approach to photography. A Brief History The...

The company worked on the product for nearly a year, creating what it believes is the most comprehensive single product available on the market today.

He notes that CMOS sensors have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years. “With greatly improved image quality, sensitivity, dynamic range and speeds, they have outpaced CCD technology of late,” he says. “Sony’s...

A Post By: William Burrard-Lucas If you have an old DSLR camera lying around, you could be putting it to work as a camera trap for photographing wildlife. What is a camera trap? A camera trap is simply a camera that fires automatically when an animal is detected. All you need in order to turn your DSLR into a camera trap is a sensor that can detect animals, then trigger your camera. Once set up, a camera trap can be left for days or even weeks at a time.

While it can appear more complex than Lightroom, and certainly takes more time to learn all of its tricks, Photoshop offers four post-processing tools that come in handy for retouching images. These tools are pretty easy to locate and implement, and in this article I’ll show you how they work, specifically while retouching the image of the Space Needle in Seattle (below). I have the privilege of having this view from my home...
Nikon’s prosumer line gets an update today in the form of the D7200. With a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor it offers a very slight resolution increase over its 24.1MP D7100 predecessor, and like that model it lacks an optical low-pass filter. This is likely to be the excellent Sony sensor that the D5300 uses, which would mean less banding than was seen one some D7100 units when shadows were drastically lifted. The D7200’s other enhancements include a next-generation 51-point AF module with increased low-light sensitivity, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC and an improved...
Nikon has extended its superzoom range to include the Coolpix P900, offering a 16MP sensor and a mind-blowing F2.8-6.5 24-2000mm equivalent zoom. It features built-in Wi-Fi with NFC, 7 fps burst shooting, built-in EVF and a fully articulated 3″ 921k-dot LCD. The P900 is capable of 1080/60p video recording and uses a new Dual Detect optical image stabilization system, claiming up to 5 stops of shake compensation. The Nikon Coolpix P900 will be available in April for $599.95. Press release: NIKON’S NEW COOLPIX P900 TAKES CREATIVITY TO EXTREME DISTANCES WITH...

Here’s a collection of camera commercials that have appeared over the past 20 years.

The Impossible Project is continuing to branch out from the standard frame design for instant photos that made the original Polaroid pictures iconic. Last year the company launched a new line of film with colorful frames. This year it’s the shape that’s getting a makeover: the company has unveiled a new color instant film with round frames rather than square ones. The new color films are designed for classic Polaroid 600 and SX-70 cameras and are available in both black and white frame editions. It’s a “unique and intriguing approach which is well-suited for portrait,” The Impossible...

![MTF Testing the Canon 11-24mm f/4L, the World’s Widest Full Frame Rectilinear Lens]()
Editor’s note: If you’re unfamiliar with how to interpret MTF charts, you can find primers here and here. I’ll be honest. I’m pretty excited about the Canon 11-24mm f/4 L lens. I love shooting ultra-wide and the chance to shoot this wide with a rectilinear lens on a full-frame camera has me pretty excited. But I’m also very aware of how near-impossibly difficult designing a lens this wide would be, so my expectations were tempered a bit. There’s a reason I’ll often stitch together a couple of 24mm shots for a landscape rather than take one 16mm shot. OK, there are several reasons, but...
A Post By: Meredith Clark When it comes to photography, we spend most of our time thinking about taking photos – lighting, composition, exposure, and posing. Then, once the photo is taken, we may start to think about post-processing, gently nudging the photo along until it becomes exactly what we’ve pictured in our mind’s eye. Once that’s accomplished, we do it all over again. Back in high school and college, I shot film. I can vividly remember running out of film, and sometimes having to wait weeks until I was able to buy more. Our public high school relied heavily on donations of film, and...
A Post By: Neil Creek Cameras are complex machines and to get the most out of them you need to know how they work. When you’re a new photographer shooting with a sophisticated camera for the first time, the complexity can be overwhelming. There’s just so much to learn! Now that I’ve been shooting for more than ten years, it’s interesting to go back to my early days and see the mistakes I made. In this article we’ll have a look at four of my first DSLR photos and I’ll share what I know now that I wish I knew then, so hopefully you can learn from these mistakes. Mistake #1 – not using exposure...

I’m writing from the perspective of a hustling wedding pro working day in and day out in the thick of it all to earn a decent living.

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Time to try out your aperture range. Last week you were encouraged to shoot wide opened using a large aperture. Now you need to crank it the opposite direction and get some maximum depth of field in this weekly photography challenge of using a small aperture. By Michael Chen Weekly photography challenge First let’s define small aperture. Usually when photographers talk about a large aperture it’s in the f/1.8 to f/4 range. Small apertures would include f/11 and smaller (f/16-f/32). What that means is the lens is letting in less light due to the smaller opening...
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Over the last few weeks on dPS we’ve had some collections of images that demonstrate some of the basic photography principals. Last week it was using a large aperture for shallow depth of field. This time we’re going the other way and looking for images with a lot of depth of field, ones that utilize small apertures like f/16 or even smaller. These are usually images with a lot of depth and focus from near to far. Landscape photographers use this technique often as do, surprisingly, macro shooters. When you get up close the depth of field is really slim so you...

Photographers often grumble about Getty Images taking too big a slice from each stock photo sale, but it turns out the company hasn’t been lining its pockets with mountains of cash generated by its contributors — in fact, it hasn’t been doing so hot financially as of late. A report published by Bloomberg reveals that the company has been burning through cash in recent months due to declining earnings. In just the last 3 months of 2014, the company used up 1/3 of its cash reserves, seeing its balance fall from around $41 million to $27 million. Getty Images previously took on nearly...

The question I get asked the most is: “Wow, nice pic! Which camera are you using?” Does that sound familiar? In the past, every time I heard this question I would answer in the same way: by telling people which camera I was using, but that it didn’t really matter in my opinion. Beginners and hobby photographers usually expect that, if they can only save enough money to buy much better equipment, this will improve their results in a linear way. Maybe that’s the reason so many people are buying DSLR cameras without knowing how or even having an open mind about learning how to use one....

Photo courtesy Morphets Auctioneers The United Kingdom is hoping to retain an album containing photographs by Oscar Rejlander, and as such it has instituted a temporary export ban on the relic. The ban will prevent the album from being sold to a foreigner and leaving the country (for now), and will possibly provide enough time to study the collection and its origins. The decision to temporarily ban the export was made by Culture Minister Ed Vaizey. Oscar Rejlander was born in the early 1800s in Sweden, and he later moved to England in the mid-1800s. He is regarded as a...

AS far as anybody knows he made the first actual photographs. Niepce invented photography. Only the english potter Wedgewood preceded him noticing how salts darkened through lights action, a process that interested him because he wanted to be able to transfer designs to pottery, but he wasn’t able to fix the results. Thus Niepce was first, followed by several other people before Daguerre. In 1835 Fox Talbot “invented the negative/positive Calotype process that enabled the photograph to be reproduced, thus preceeding Daguerre by several years. Niepce and Daguerre’s processes...

Safety Tips for Travel Photographers (Particularly Women)
Posted by Chris Roubis on 6th, Mar, 2015 |

A Post By: Karthika Gupta Let me first address the obvious that while this article talks about safety tips for women photographers, it does not mean that these tips don’t apply to men as well. Most are general tips that could be applied to both genders. Being a woman photographer who has started to venture out alone for photoshoots and solo photowalks, these are things that I notice and practice as I do travel photography. Solo Hiking the Appalachian Trail – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA It all started with a single trip. A couple of years ago while visiting Great Smoky Mountain...

A Post By: Eric Kim You want to be the best photographer you can. You’re constantly trying to educate yourself, improve, and take your photography to the next level. But how can you take your photography to new heights, and stand out from the crowd? The secret is thinking big. If you look at successful individuals outside of photography such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Larry Page – what do these leaders have in common? How were they able to leverage their strengths, continuously add value to the world, and become successful at what they do? In the book “Bold”, author Peter...

Sony Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA real-world samples gallery posted
Posted by Chris Roubis on 6th, Mar, 2015 |
no responses
Haha rfsIII. Folks should remember tho that telephoto focal lengths tend to have better MTF across the frame. Sonyalpharumors posted some MTF figures for the 35mm F1.4 FE lens (though I can’t seem to find them on the Sony site), & I think our rooftop shots mirror these MTF curves. The field’s incredibly uniform, even at F1.4- it’s just not really tack sharp anywhere (40 lp/mm just hovers around 55-65% across the frame). By F8, there’s some severe astigmatism, & tangential resolution fluctuates wildly, although sagittal resolution is nothing short of stunning....
World Press Photo revokes prize from Giovanni Troilo

I think there is more to this story. This person diliberately misrepresented that city, lied about where the shots were taken, lied about setting things in scene. Interestingly, Charleroi used to have coal mines, many italians used to work there decades ago, it wouldn’t surprise me if this Italian photographer is in some way connected to charleroi and has some deeper unresolved problems. More interestingly, I believe that pipeline above is associated with the mining. Also, he says “dark heart”, just like coal is dark. This whole story and his actions are just too weird, he...
Prepare to be impressed: Tamron 15-30 F2.8 vs. Nikon 14-24 F2.8
Posted by Chris Roubis on 6th, Mar, 2015 |
no responses
While we were at CP+ 2015 in Japan, we met with Tamron, and the company was kind enough to lend us their newly announced 15-30mm F2.8 Di VC USD. In Nikon mount, no less. Why the big deal about it being Nikon mount? Because that means we can attach it natively to the Nikon D810 – the highest-resolution DSLR currently on the market (until the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DSR show up in June). 15-30mm is a wide range for a full-frame zoom, made more impressive by the inclusion of vibration compensation (VC). The wide F2.8 aperture and inclusion of VC do mean the lens is rather...

How to Get More Natural Smiles in Child Photography
Posted by Chris Roubis on 5th, Mar, 2015 |
no responses
A Post By: Angie Baxter A natural smile – the holy grail of child photography. A genuine, heartfelt smile is more than just turning up the corners of the mouth. A real smile radiates from your whole face, and particularly for children, is often felt with the whole body. Not only is a forced and fake smile easy to spot in photographs – we know that wearing a fake smile and having it photographed doesn’t feel too good at the time, and it doesn’t feel great for children either. So while we want to photograph a child’s beautiful smile, we also want them to enjoy the process of being...
Don’t Be Afraid of Manual Focus

A Post By: Tim Gilbreath If you’re a beginner in the wonderful world of photography, if you’ve never used an older film camera, or a combination of both, you might be unfamiliar with the workings of manual focus. Even if you are, you may not have thought about how you would use it in real-world situations. Fortunately as DSLR owners, we have the best of both worlds between manual and automatic focusing; we have a choice as to how we decide the subject of our photo, and other points that aren’t as important. This is an advantage for you, and having a better understanding of the “other”...
CP+ 2015 Sigma Interview – "small office, big factory"

Also, the XPRO is clearly designed for weight savings, not tank-like construction, and for use on lighter tripods. Yea! Finally, a geared head for hikers and walkers. Source Article from...

The Di700A will have the same specification as the GN48m/157ft current model, but will also feature a 2.4GHz radio transmitter that will be able to communicate with other NAS guns and the Nissin Commander Air 1 command unit from a distance of up to 30m.

Chinese maker Xiaomi challenges GoPro with new Yi Action Camera
Posted by Chris Roubis on 5th, Mar, 2015 |

Chinese company Xiaomi, perhaps best known for its smartphones, has introduced a new GoPro competitor called the Yi Action Camera. This new action camera will only be sold inside of China for the equivalent of approximately $64 USD (399 CNY); the company doesn’t, as of now, have plans to sell it elsewhere. This still poses a problem for GoPro, however, which has recently been looking to expand into the Chinese market. The Yi Action Camera in many ways resembles GoPro’s own action cameras, something that isn’t surprising given Xiaomi’s history of...
Sony releases 28mm, 35mm, and 90mm macro full-frame primes

Three full-frame prime lenses on Sony’s lens roadmap officially arrived today which, including the 24-240, brings the total number of FE lenses to eleven. The least expensive of the trio is the FE 28mm F2 wide-angle prime. The lens features a 9-blade circular aperture, three aspherical and two ED elements, and a multi-coated surface. This lens uses an ‘advanced linear actuator’ that allows for quiet focusing. The 28mm also supports wide-angle and fisheye conversion lenses, which are described in detail here. The FE 28mm F2 lens will be available in...

How to Retouch a Portrait with the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson You have probably seen several portrait retouching programs advertised in magazines or online, and wondered if they were worth buying. The answer is no. I have tried out quite a few, and the truth is that the Soften Skin preset in Lightroom does just as good a job as any of them. For most photographers Lightroom’s retouching tools all are you will ever need. For high end retouching purposes you can go to Photoshop. It’s worthwhile taking some time to think about your personal approach to portrait retouching. Some photographers seem to like the airbrushed, almost...

A Post By: Nick Fancher The scene setup – by placing parking a car in the shade of a building on a sunny day, you can use the ambient light as your main light, illuminating the contours of the vehicle. Photographing reflective surfaces is no walk in the park. So, as you can imagine, photographing cars, which are essentially just giant reflective objects, is really difficult. It comes with all the same challenges, magnifies them, and adds the new wrinkle of your subject being too heavy to reposition easily. Sounds like fun, right? It can be, and it can still be pulled off without the use of a...

Back Button Focus: What is it and why should you try it?

A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth What operation on a camera could possibly be more simple than pressing the shutter button to take a picture? There’s not much to it, really – you look through the viewfinder (or at the LCD screen on the back of the camera), press a button with your index finger, wait for the camera to focus, and voilà! You’ve got a photo. Well, as the popular saying goes, what if I told you there was a better way? Hidden deep within the settings of most cameras is a feature called Back Button Focusing, and enabling it can transform your approach to photography. A Brief History The...

In the Spotlight: Sony Alpha 7S Review posted

Thing is, one can go down a rabbit hole w/ what you’re suggesting. B/c it’s not even just about the number of stops pushed, it also matters which tones you’re pushing. So you could just as easily ask us to try using different sets of exposures per ISO to place scene tones at different exposure levels in terms of sensor exposure… So, ideally, we’d shoot a wedge that has more DR than the sensor, then do all the pushes, then quantitate SNR to look for where there are benefits to increasing your ISO amplification vs. not. Or have a high DR scene (unchanging, mind...

Turn your DSLR Camera into a Wildlife Camera Trap
Posted by Chris Roubis on 2nd, Mar, 2015 |

A Post By: William Burrard-Lucas If you have an old DSLR camera lying around, you could be putting it to work as a camera trap for photographing wildlife. What is a camera trap? A camera trap is simply a camera that fires automatically when an animal is detected. All you need in order to turn your DSLR into a camera trap is a sensor that can detect animals, then trigger your camera. Once set up, a camera trap can be left for days or even weeks at a time. The longer you leave it, the greater your chances of capturing a shot of an elusive animal. Black rhino at night in Zambia. A 30 second...
4 Photoshop Tools Every Photographer Should Know

A Post By: Suzi Pratt When it comes to photo-editing programs, one of the most popular among both amateur and professional photographers alike is Adobe Photoshop. While it can appear more complex than Lightroom, and certainly takes more time to learn all of its tricks, Photoshop offers four post-processing tools that come in handy for retouching images. These tools are pretty easy to locate and implement, and in this article I’ll show you how they work, specifically while retouching the image of the Space Needle in Seattle (below).

Yeah right. “Real enthusiasts.” Apart from the obvious trolling by assuming you know everyone needs (hence the “yeah right”); a fully professionalized camera is always desirable at any price range (functions should be MAXIMIZED, always, to the budget of the camera; never should any aspect every be crippled despite being in budget — Canon loves crippling, and Nikon is just random about it). A fully professional D7300/D400 is still the dream (its okay slightly smaller size; but controls + grip need to be D810 quality, along wtih feature creep, such as tilt-screen...

Hands-on with Nikon D7200

Sounds nice. Get the body with a Sigma 18-35/1.8 ($800 new) and Sigma 50-150/2.8 OS ($600-$800 used). Maybe add a Tokina 11-20/2.8, the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary ($1200 new) or Nikon 300/4 ($2000). An external video recorder should give excellent results; it now has a flat picture style…de rigueur for video (standard video compression crushes the shadows limiting grading in post). It will be interesting to see how this stacks up against the $500 more expensive Canon 7D Mark II. This is a camera that will be used for telephoto work. On issue is that there is only 1 auto focus point at...
Nikon D7200 boasts low-light AF improvements and increased buffer depth
Posted by Chris Roubis on 2nd, Mar, 2015 |
no responses
Nikon’s prosumer line gets an update today in the form of the D7200. With a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor it offers a very slight resolution increase over its 24.1MP D7100 predecessor, and like that model it lacks an optical low-pass filter. This is likely to be the excellent Sony sensor that the D5300 uses, which would mean less banding than was seen one some D7100 units when shadows were drastically lifted. The D7200’s other enhancements include a next-generation 51-point AF module with increased low-light sensitivity, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC and an improved...

The Best Way to Delete Photos From Your Memory Card
Posted by Chris Roubis on 1st, Mar, 2015 |

A Post By: Meredith Clark When it comes to photography, we spend most of our time thinking about taking photos – lighting, composition, exposure, and posing. Then, once the photo is taken, we may start to think about post-processing, gently nudging the photo along until it becomes exactly what we’ve pictured in our mind’s eye. Once that’s accomplished, we do it all over again. Back in high school and college, I shot film. I can vividly remember running out of film, and sometimes having to wait weeks until I was able to buy more. Our public high school relied heavily on donations of film, and...

Weekly Photography Challenge – Using a Small Aperture

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Time to try out your aperture range. Last week you were encouraged to shoot wide opened using a large aperture. Now you need to crank it the opposite direction and get some maximum depth of field in this weekly photography challenge of using a small aperture. By Michael Chen Weekly photography challenge First let’s define small aperture. Usually when photographers talk about a large aperture it’s in the f/1.8 to f/4 range. Small apertures would include f/11 and smaller (f/16-f/32). What that means is the lens is letting in less light due to the smaller opening...
24 Uber Sharp Images with Huge Depth of Field to Focus Your Attention

Last week it was using a large aperture for shallow depth of field. This time we’re going the other way and looking for images with a lot of depth of field, ones that utilize small apertures like f/16 or even smaller. These are usually images with a lot of depth and focus from near to far. Landscape photographers use this technique often as do, surprisingly, macro shooters. When you get up close the depth of field is really slim so you...
