A Post By: Iain Stanley There are few things in photography that people love more than dreamy sunrise shots full of bold oranges, big suns, washing waters, and burnt horizons. The dawn of a new day is a spiritually significant event as our past misdeeds of yesterday are forgotten under the promise of fresh beginnings. Sunrise also affords us some of the best light to work with in photography. However, if you live near the coast and you plan to get up early to take some sunrise shots that involve you being in or around rocks on the water’s edge, there are some key things you must remember,...

A Post By: Prathap DK You’ve got your DSLR and you are excited to test it out. You might have gone out for the first few days or perhaps weeks and then all of a sudden the excitement wears out. Why? Because you don’t seem to get what you want out of your mighty DSLR, right? You may have spent countless hours in your college, office, or at home in search of a best DSLR that can take the best photographs you want. All your efforts have gone in vein and you have a frustrating backlog of your actual work. Next time you feel such frustration about your photography remember this quote: “You will...

Meanwhile, the NPPA has called on the photographers disqualified from the contest to release their photos to the public. The...

Lytro CEO Jason Rosenthal has announced that the company has raised an additional $50M in funding, but plans to use it to make a strategic shift into video and virtual reality, while shedding some jobs. Although the exact number of layoffs has yet to be decided, website re/code is reporting that between 25-50 of Lytro’s 130-strong workforce may be made redundant as the company seeks to hire new employees with video and virtual reality experience.

The picture above is the only photo Jeb Bush has of his wedding 41 years ago. Here’s why: Bush made the mistake of allowing his younger brother Marvin to be his official wedding photographer. Marvin, who was still in high school at the time, made the tragic mistake of rerolling already-exposed film. Jeb shared the photo and story yesterday on his Facebook account to say happy anniversary to his wife. TIME reporter Zeke Miller found more details about what happened in the book My Father, My President: A Personal Account of the Life of George H. W. Bush. Here’s what Marvin has to say...

Explorer Sam Cossman recently employed the help of multiple drones to capture photos and footage of the Marum Crater in an active volcano on the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. He ended up losing multiple drones in the process, but he left the island with spectacular images that will help provide a better understanding of the volcano and the life that exists around it. Here’s a video that National Geographic published today, which provides a look at how the camera drones were used to capture the crater, one of only seven permanent lava lakes in the world: Cossman says he used the...

The British government is scrambling to keep a rare photo album from the 19th century from being sold to a foreigner and exported from the nation. It announced today that it has placed a temporary export ban on the book, which contains seventy photographs by Swedish photography pioneer Oscar Gustave Rejlander. Rejlander pioneered the art of combination printing, or combining multiple negatives to create one photograph. He settled in England in the 1840s and became known as a “father of art photography”. “The Rejlander album is a truly remarkable compilation of images by one of the...

A Post By: Michael Coppola There are many sports photographers. We generally hear about those who specialize in a specific genre of sports photography like motorsport, tennis, golf, or surfing. If you are just starting out and want to gain some experience and build a portfolio, what can you do to take better action shots? What separates a true sports photographer from an amateur? A sports photographer will get the shot they want as they see it, of the action they need to report on, every time. Their ability to pick the correct exposure, composition, focus, and amount of blur in the...

A Post By: Scott Wyden Kivowitz Lightroom has the power to completely transform your landscape photograph into something far more powerful, something that hits home with viewers, and something that pops off the screen. By default digital cameras create flatter image files than what you see with your eye. Your eye has the ability to see dimensions like no camera can really capture. Although many try. What is Dimension? The definition of dimension is: an aspect or feature of a situation, problem, or thing. When utilizing the word dimension in your photograph, think of the features of specific...

Connect smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance and image quality. Introduction The Sony Xperia Z3 is the successor to the Xperia Z2 but – given Sony’s very fast 6(ish) month product innovation cycle this is no surprise – is in terms of both camera specification and design more of an evolutionary update rather than a major overhaul. The Z3’s 5.2-inch 1080p Sony Triluminous display is the same size and resolution as its predecessor but now comes with X-Reality technology that automatically...

An American startup is promising to bring a full-frame digital rangefinder camera to market for early 2016. The Konost FF will be a 20MP metal bodied M-mount camera equipped with a 4″ LCD. The company has said that the rangefinder system will operate not with mirrors and prisms, as most rangefinders do, but with twin imaging sensors that overlay their images to produce the same dual image effect in the viewfinder. While details are limited at the moment, Konost has stated it will use the Belgian CMV20000 sensor from CMOSIS, which offers 5120×3840 pixel (~20MP)...

These are more important as visual documentation of a time and place. It’s not always about how pretty it looks, or how well they composed/exposed the image. Sometimes(all to infrequently, if you ask me) it’s about content. Artistic photography is a luxury afforded by our familiarity with the concept, and the ease with which we can now create photographs. The first photographers were not artists, they were anthropologists, historians, scientists… Their photos furthered their work, they weren’t the work itself. Source Article from...

We don’t normally write about thirty-thousand-dollar cinema cameras, but the ARRI ALEXA Mini (announced this morning) caught our eye. This digital motion picture camera packs a whole lot of firepower into a super compact, carbon-fiber body. The specs also foreshadow what we might expect in future consumer-level cameras, in terms of video capabilities. At its core is a Super 35mm format ARRI ALEV III CMOS sensor with Bayer pattern color filter array. ARRI claims it is capable of 14+ stops of sensitivity when shooting at an exposure index of 160-3200 (EI is...

Back in 2008, the team over at Advancing Your Photography were invited to an exclusive gallery tour of Annie Leibovitz’s best photographs — an event led by Leibovitz herself. Those in attendance were treated to the photographer sharing about her life and work, and the intersection of those two worlds. Luckily for the rest of us, they brought along some cameras and recorded what Leibovitz had to share. They just finished publishing the videos as a three-part series: The exhibition was titled “Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990–2005” and was held at the Brooklyn Museum. (via...

Here’s a humorous video showing how the Home Shopping Network tried to sell a Canon Rebel T3i package on TV back in 2012. They do get some facts about the camera and photography right, but other statements they make may cause you to chuckle (or shake your head in disbelief). Here are some of the amazing quotes found in the video: “It is [Canon’s] flagship.” “What you have going to work for you in this particular camera is going to be the ‘Canon trinity’: it’s about the sensor, it’s about the lens, and it’s about the processor.” “You don’t have to be a professional to have...

The world of photojournalism took a hit earlier this month when it was revealed that 20% of the finalists in the prestigious World Press Photo competition had been disqualified due to unethical edits. The National Press Photographers Association released a statement this past weekend calling for the disqualified photographers to share the edits that eliminated them from competition. The disqualified photographers were informed in a confidential email by WPP that their images had been deemed ineligible. As a result of this confidentiality, the WPP isn’t giving examples of the edits...

Photographer Stu Maschwitz of Prolost recently paid a visit to the Bay Area Lightroom User Group and tried something he’s always wanted to do: Lightroom Iron Chef. He took 29 audience-submitted photographs and post-processed them in Lightroom in front of a live audience of more than 100 people, all while providing a running commentary of what he’s doing and why. The whole thing was recorded in the 1.5-hour video above. Here’s how our friend Jeffrey Friedl describes it: There are some amazing transformations, but whether a particular result is or isn’t your cup of tea is not the point....

If you’ve always dreamed of taking pictures of the northern lights, the video above will give you a small taste of what it’s like. Swedish astrophotographer Göran Strand captured the behind-the-scenes footage recently when he drove out into the wilderness in the dead of night to chase auroras. In addition to time-lapse clips of his journey, the video also shows real time footage of Strand standing under the green shimmering lights hovering overhead. Strand says that on this particular night, he left home at around midnight and arrived home at 4:30am. Here are some of the keepers he...

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich Writer Bruce Wunderlich with Tamron 150-600mm on his Nikon D7100 in Le Claire, Iowa. Photo by: J. Todd Poling One of my favorite subjects to photograph is wildlife. In the past, great wildlife images were very difficult for me to shoot because my close presence usually meant disturbing the wild creature I had my eye on. I began looking for a longer lens with plenty of reach that wasn’t going to break my piggy bank. So, after much patient and thorough research, I purchased the Tamron 150-600mm SP F/5-6.3 Di VC USD zoom lens for my Nikon D7100. The reach of this...

A Post By: Natalia Robert The New Age of Architectural Photography Gone are days of interior photos looking like furniture showrooms. So, too, are the days of exterior photos being full of uplighting accents and HDR effects. Today, architectural photography is all about lifestyle. The appeal of luxury has shifted away from the material luxury and flashy spaces of high society to an intangible luxury that transpires during quiet moments with loved ones. It’s more about quality of life than quality of goods. When shooting interiors, your goal as photographer is to create a space that makes the...

Panasonic has announced two new additions to its Micro Four Thirds lens lineup, a 30mm F2.8 macro and 42.5mm F1.7 portrait lens. The company had previously hinted that the 30mm was in the works, and as promised offers the new lens offers Mega O.I.S optical stabilization along with 240 fps drive AF. The 42.5mm F1.7 isn’t quite as fast (or presumably as expensive) as the existing Leica Nocticron 42.5mm F1.2. It does offer Power O.I.S. stabilization and is also compatible with 240 fps drive AF. It will be offered in black and silver versions. Each lens will cost...

Impressive work. However, I wasn’t impressed by the motion sensor he talks about in the video at his WWW site. There are vastly superior ways to automatically trigger a camera from live view data — especially using Canons that can run ML inside. For cameras like the Sony A7S, which don’t allow user-written code to run in the camera, you can still do scripted control using wifi remote control with a laptop examining the camera’s live view. For a camera trap, I’d definitely use Canon PowerShots running a CHDK script for intelligent control using motion detection....

The portrait above is a slightly cropped version of this photo from the collections of the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute: Here are some more historical photographs showing Beals with her various cameras: A...

SHORTCUT-S tells us that it will soon be launching dedicated keyboards for 13 other programs, one of which is Adobe Lightroom. The special Lightroom keyboard is a giant slate that measures 15.3×11.7 inches and a quarter of an inch thick. It connects to your computer via USB and is compatible with any existing...

Garry Winogrand was one of the most notable and prolific American street photographers of the 20th century. He is known for capturing a vast record of what American life was like during the decades following World War II; in addition to his published works, thousands of his undeveloped and unseen rolls of film were discovered when he passed away in 1984. In 1977, Winogrand was invited to speak to Rice Students about photography. Over the course of two hours, the photographer answered all kinds of questions and discussed a wide range of topics regarding photography, his work, and his...

Remember that Taiwanese machine that can print a photo of your face onto the foam of a latte? Here’s something along the same lines that’s just as quirky: there’s a new printer that can cook a photo of your face into a pancake. Created by the Bristol, UK-based design company Kinneir Dufort, the machine doesn’t just burn some kind of design into the surface of a cooked pancake — it actually cooks the photo in by carefully applying different layers of batter to the cooking surface at different times. This method causes different portions of the pancake to cook to different colors,...

A Post By: Monica Day As much as we love the art of photography, the organization of it is just as important. Yes, organization. It’s important that you have a system in place to access your photos when you need them. A few key things to consider are: date, genre, occasion, and subject. You also want to be careful of the locations that you are storing your images. Save location This is an example of a way to organize your photos. This is an external drive with various years. There is also a folder for miscellaneous photos and a folder for personal photos. Your system may not have as many...

Impressive work. However, I wasn’t impressed by the motion sensor he talks about in the video at his WWW site. There are vastly superior ways to automatically trigger a camera from live view data — especially using Canons that can run ML inside. For cameras like the Sony A7S, which don’t allow user-written code to run in the camera, you can still do scripted control using wifi remote control with a laptop examining the camera’s live view. For a camera trap, I’d definitely use Canon PowerShots running a CHDK script for intelligent control using motion detection....

In my work, the concept and the pre-visualization of the images are the key issues. It’s all about fresh ideas and trying to achieve something that has never been seen when trying to create original pieces of art. Sometimes I just know that a project will evolve into something original even before I even start shooting the pictures. This time it was this couple (Vesa & Elina), who gave me freedom to do a wedding photo that would be something original and different. Well, I definitely tried to push myself to create something new and different and I think I did. The soon to be...

Here’s a behind-the-scenes video showing how photographer Jason Bell recently photographed actor Benedict Cumberbatch for a special issue of Vanity Fair. After observing that “this British invasion of Hollywood has gotten so out of hand,” Bell (who was born in London) came up with the idea of doing an all-British edition of Vanity Fair‘s annual Hollywood portfolio, which will arrive on March 2015. Cumberbatch is one of the stars featured in the series. His photo shoot took place at Wimbledon Common, a large open space in south-west London. Bell had Cumberbatch pose for a number of...

Erik Johansson is a Swedish photographer and retoucher based in Berlin who is well known on the Internet for his amazing surreal photo manipulations that show everyday scenes with major twists. A number of his works are optical illusions created by manipulating and combining images in creative ways. The image above is one of Johansson’s more recent works. It’s titled “The Architect” and shows a man searching for inspiration in an impossible house. Here are some of Johansson’s other pieces — both personal and commissioned — that contain mind-bending optical illusions created with...

Should you be able to patent the idea of online photo contests? Regardless of your opinion on the matter, someone has, and that patent is now being used to sue a number of small photo websites. A man named Michael Garofalo filed a patent in 2007 titled “Method of Sharing Multi-Media Content Among Users in a Global Computer Network.” The document describes a system of sharing “multi-media content” among users and organizing the content into a “competitive format.” Garofalo was awarded the patent in 2012. Ars Technica reports that Garofalo, who runs a small video contest website called...

We’ve seen it in plenty of thriller/crime solver TV shows and movies: upon reviewing some grainy and very low-resolution surveillance footage, someone inevitably asks the technician, “can you zoom in on that and enhance it?” Then, with the quick press of a few masterfully placed keystrokes and bleepy computer sounds, the image is suddenly enhanced with vastly increased resolution and a key plot device is revealed. We all know that you can’t pull pixels out of thin air and most “zoom-enhance” sequences on TV and movies get it downright wrong: But there actually is a practical means of...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt It’s that time again. Canon has announced their newest in the 5D line-up – the 5DS and the 5DS R. At a whopping 50.6 megapixels and starting prices rumoured around $3699 and $3899 respectively – are you taking the plunge? People were all gaga over the EOS 7D MarkII and headed out in droves to pre-order one for themselves. I know several people personally who picked one up – either as an upgrade or as a backup to their full frame body. So the question is – who is this camera designed for? Clearly it’s for the professional photographer who needs maximum sharpness...

A Post By: Mark Tioxon What would you do if you could book more clients and earn more money with your photography? If you’re like me then you’d probably just blow it all on that new lens you’ve been thinking of buying for the past few months. You likely have a few clients every now and then, but for some reason they’re either not booking you and going with someone else, not buying your prints, or they’re just doing a disappearing act never to be heard from again after your first meeting. The truth is that you’re probably making one or several of the sales mistakes listed below and it’s...

For quite some time, I’ve had this uncomfortable feeling that, at 10GBP for a 4-photos block entry, unlimited entries at additional 10GBP for each of those block of 4 and a not very logical multiplication of “categories”, IGPOTY exuded a somewhat diddle scent. The puzzlement provoked by the choice of #2 and #8 as winners of anything related to photography has, in my view, added a definite flowery decay stench to that uneasy feeling. Source Article from...

I’m often asked how I am able to take high-quality images of the solar system using my iPhone. In short, the quality of today’s smartphone cameras makes it possible to take very respectable images of the Moon and planets through a telescope with your phone – but it takes some work. While the end results may not match those taken with webcam or DSLR equipment, smartphone astrophotography can be a good starting point for budding astrophotographers. It can also be a useful alternative for experienced astronomers who wish to capture an image quickly with little equipment. What You Need 1)...

Light projectors have been used in recent years for crazy 3D projections on buildings and other large surfaces. A Japanese company is using a similar concept to bring static 2D photos to life.Fareastgizmos reports that NTT Japan has developed a new light projection technique called HenGenTou, which roughly translates to “deformation lamps.” By carefully creating a grayscale motion pattern and projecting that pattern onto photographs (and other static objects), the technology can create the illusion of movement. Here’s a demo showing some interesting examples and applications: As you...

Boudoir photography, derived from the French word for “sulky,” traditionally involves a woman posing for a suggestive series of tasteful photos in various states of undress. Over the past few years, however, a new trend has emerged. Called “dudeoir” photography, these shots involve men jumping into the frame to pose for sexy shots. CBS Miami and CBS New York put the spotlight on this trend this past month, highlighting it as a “new rage in romance.” More and more men are choosing to have intimate photos taken of them as a gift to their significant others on special occasions (e.g....

During a horse race, the track itself probably isn’t the place you should be wandering in order to snap the perfect action shot. Even if racers do tend to stay toward the inside of the track, things don’t always go as expected. A photographer in Finland learned this lesson the hard way this past week. While photographing a harness race in Helsinki on Wednesday, photographer Pekka Salonen decided to step into the outer regions of the track to photograph the conclusion as the horses crossed the finish line. Unfortunately for him, not all of the racers were racing on the inside, and he...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt This week’s challenge is all about using a large aperture, shooting wide opened. You can see some examples of this technique using shallow depth of field here. Aperture is one side of the exposure triangle and understanding it, and truly mastering it is so important to taking your photography to the next level. This is your chance to practice. By Evan Leeson Even if you do not have a lens that has f/1.4 or even f/2.8 you can still achieve a shallow depth of field. It also has to do with distance to subject, and focal length. So throw on a long lens and use the...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt This week we’re going back to the basics and looking at some images that utilize a large aperture to create a narrow or shallow DOF (Depth of Field).

The FAA’s plan to regulate drone usage has been a long running cause of concern among enthusiasts and those hoping to use UAVs for commercial purposes. Thus far speculation has pegged the budding regulations as unnecessarily restrictive, but the new officially revealed FAA proposal shows those concerns to largely be unfounded. The proposed regulations largely cover common sense aspects of drone operation, such as requiring the operator to avoid flying over people and to determine how risky it would be to fly a drone in any given location if it is assumed the drone...

I plan to upgrade and trade in my E-M5 for the E-M5ii. The larger viewfinder, one stop better IBIS and the wireless “tethering” are worthwhile upgrades for me. I had considered the E-M1, but I wanted to keep the camera small as that is my main reason for choosing M43 over other formats. Also, the new video frame rates makes it much more useful for me since I live in the non-US/non-Japan part of the world and thereby have 50 Hz artificial lighting. As well as the other improvements for the casual videographer. I also like the look of the new physical user interface, and some of...

Inside was a memory card that contained irreplaceable photos of the last moments of a baby’s life, which Massey captured through the charity organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. There’s a happy update to the story: the memory card has been returned, and all the precious lost photos have been recovered.

We are naturally drawn to eyes, so that’s where you’ll usually want to focus. 2 – Shoot fast Photographing people in fascinating cultural situations requires a totally different mindset to shooting landscapes.

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson How many social media websites do you upload photos to regularly? I have five – a Facebook page, my personal Facebook profile, Google+, Flickr and 500px.

If this is you, then you’ll be interested in new photo sharing website, Expojure.

Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens samples gallery We were recently lucky enough to visit Sigma’s factory in Aizu, Japan, where Sigma allowed us to shoot with a pre-production sample of the recently-announced 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens. The wintry landscape of the Fukushima prefecture was a nice contrast to the CP+ convention center where we last gathered some samples with this lens, and our recent samples are more representative of lens performance on a native mount body (Canon 6D). All shots in the gallery are converted from Raw, with default sharpening and noise...

Heya DFP, TBH if I were looking to jump into a ML system to call home right now, I would either go with Samsung or MFT. The advantage of MFT is that aside from having the most mature ML lens line, in order for the mount to completely fail, both Panasonic and Olympus must both bow out. Samsung on the other hand seem to be doing everything right, from TVs to phones to cameras. They are innovative and keep surprising people, I don’t think they are a risky bet even if they are less known in cameras. The only other option is to start looking at all in one bodies, such as LX/RX, that way you...

For telephoto lenses with huge front elements, screw-on filters aren’t very practical or economical. Thus, for certain lenses, companies like Canon and Nikon offer drop-in filters that slide into a slot close to the rear element. There’s a new product that hopes to use this same style of filter for smaller camera-and-lens combos. Called OWL, it’s the first drop-in filter adapter. Created by a Hong Kong startup called DEO, the product is an adapter for mounting Canon and Nikon DSLR lenses to Sony E and Micro Four Thirds mount cameras. The side of the adapter features a slot that...

My name is Martin Szabo and I am commercial and portrait photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was recently doing volunteer work for a charity event in Vancouver and wanted to bring little twist and fun to the party. I ended up creating a photo booth to shoot portraits of people while their faces were being blasted by 240 mph wind coming from a leaf blower. The whole idea was to capture unexpected reactions and showcase the subject’s individuality and personality in an unexpected moment. The project turned out to be a huge hit and since then I’ve been having lots of fun...

xkcd‘s latest comic, titled “Flowcharts,” is a tongue-in-cheek take on the concept of the golden ratio (or golden spiral) in photography. It’s a flow chart in which one of the steps reads: “Do you like when people find the golden spiral in random images?” If you choose “yes” from there, you’re taken on a golden ratio journey that magically fits the design of the chart. Here’s how explain xkcd explains this: The title text and the faint image of a golden spiral parody the fact that the golden spiral is superimposed on nearly everything. The golden spiral is a spiral that has the growth...

Wow… Where do I even begin? I would say that “The Decisive Moment” by Henri Cartier-Bresson is one of the most beautiful photo books I have ever handled, and it is a book that brings me extreme joy and happiness (you can see all the photos from the book for free over at Magnum Photos). Sure I have seen many of these photos by Cartier-Bresson before, but to see them in a physical manifestation is a different experience. Not only that, but the original version of “The Decisive Moment” is nearly impossible to get (second-hand copies before the reprint were around $1,000+). However, with...

A Post By: Adam Welch Before you or I ever picked up a camera, our photographic forefathers( and mothers) were out shooting, learning, and blazing new trails for us to follow. I’ve always taken great comfort in that fact. Knowing that we are part of a long line of picture takers and image makers should lend us a sense of pride. Through sheer will and determination they worked through hard times, failure, and sometimes controversy in order to give us an incredible head start for becoming better photographers. Ironically, many of these giants of photography, like most other people of great...

Yes I own an iPad, the iPad 2, I am NOT going to buy a new tablet every year.And YES the iPad is inferior to a Wacom tablet that costs thousands of dollars, but to be honest?

Want to make sure a photograph survives your lifetime? Print it out. That’s the warning Internet pioneer Vint Cerf gave at a talk recently, saying that vast amounts of digital information may soon be lost in a new digital “dark age.” In historiography, the “dark ages” refer to a period of time in Europe in which relatively few historical records survived, causing that section of history to be hidden from the view of modern historians. At a recent American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Jose, Cerf — one of the “fathers of the Internet” — warned that a...

A Post By: Suzi Pratt One of the great advantages of smartphone technology is the way that it makes photography more convenient. I’m not just talking about using the camera that came with your phone. There are now smartphone apps coming out that allow you to connect with, and even control, your DSLR camera. One of these apps is the brand new slingShot DSLR Remote Control, which just came to the Google Play Android market on January 25, 2015. Using this app makes it possible to adjust the settings on your camera, see what the camera sees in live view, and view the resulting image after it’s...

A Post By: Lauren Lim Each photographer has their own way of approaching a scene, choosing which settings on their camera will best reflect their vision, and then crafting the final image. You get to make this series of decisions each time you take a photo, and it’s a highly personal experience. But you can still learn a lot by going behind the scenes of a photo, and hearing how the photographer made their own decisions. Whether you pick up a new tip for creating an interesting effect, a new way of looking at a scene, or simply the inspiration to go and shoot, it’s both informative, and a...

There is actually very little between DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras, especially when you switch to live view mode on a DSLR. Mirrorless tends to be packing way more smarts into their devices, and on sensor auto focussing, across the whole frame, is surely where we’re headed. I can’t see a reason why this couldn’t be added to a DSLR for the best of both worlds, for those who want to remain in DSLR land. Clearly any notions of ‘it’s lighter and smaller’ is irrelevant when you go and slap a big lens on the front of it, and they often don’t have...

Lens tests require staying at/near base ISO, so 1/30 was the best I could do, and even that was with a bit of negative EC. It was one of only a couple times that I saw genuinely good light for a portrait, without just taking a default one because I had to check off the box. Also, the subject isn’t very fond of having his photograph taken, I had to convince him for this one. I do see why it’s problematic, but I also see that the shot in question is still usable. It may not be an ideal shot to check for maximum sharpness, but it does still give a good representation of how it...

Retoucher Matt Kloskowski offers this quick and easy Lightroom tip for your mental library: if you ever find yourself with a drastically underexposed photograph, you can use a “secret shadow slider” in Lightroom to try and recover an extreme amount of detail. Kloskowski writes that Lightroom 5 did away with the “Fill Light” slider that previously existed and replaced it with a less powerful “Shadow” slider. If you want to use extreme recovery of the old slider, there’s a way to do that. Simply choose the older 2010 process under Settings->Process or in the Process dropdown of the...

Time-lapse photographer Rob Whitworth has taken the idea of hyperlapses to the next level with his latest video, “Dubai Flow Motion” (shown above). It offers a tour of Dubai through the lens of Whitworth’s camera as it does seemingly impossible zooms through various perspectives, from the ground, into an airplane, to the top of the tallest building in the world, and then down to the bottom through the floors. “I think I might be the first person to hyperlapse vertically down through a building, and the world’s tallest at that,” Whitworth tells us. Many of the hyperlapses were indeed...

The FAA has confirmed a leak that emerged this past weekend by officially unveiling its proposed set of rules governing commercial drone flights. The guidelines are more lax than many people feared, and they represent a huge step toward the legalization of commercial drone flights — including for aerial photography purposes. In a press release published yesterday, the FAA says the new regulations, drafted for the commercial usage of drones weighing less than 55 pounds, will “facilitate integration of small UAS [Unmanned Aircraft Systems] into [the] U.S. aviation system.” The FAA is...

Maybe you damaged a SD or CF card, or accidentally formatted a card before offloading your images. As long as your memory card can still be plugged in to, and recognized by your computer, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to salvage your photos, even if you did an accidental deletion. Sometimes you can achieve this all by yourself, and recover your lost files. There are many programs and apps that can help...

I just wrapped up an incredible week leading a workshop in Death Valley National Park with my good buddy Brian Matiash and nine awesome students.

@ogl, the heart is a muscular structure that has evolved for the purpose of pumping blood around the vascular system. It is neither a measurement nor sensing device. The brain, of course plays a vital role in material analysis so you are definitely on to something there. I haven’t found the New Testament very useful in terms of answering pretty much anything new in the world over the last two thousand years. I couldn’t, for example, find the part numbers for the windshield wiper blades for my Subaru in it anywhere. It also fails to either mention explicitly or even vaguely...

There is no doubt at all in my mind that Canon’s move from 700D to 750/760D is a good one, and that the increase in pixel-count and processing power will have a very positive effect on the desirability of this class of EOS DSLR. I’ve long thought Canon’s 18-million-pixel sensors something of half-way house – neither high nor low in resolution – and that they sit in a peculiar position in the market. Not that a sensor’s relationship to other brands and bodies is always forefront of mind in the likely customer of the upper end of Canon’s entry class. Neither...
