![New Doom Mod Adds a Selfie Stick and 37 Instagram Filters to the Classic Game]()
It’s becoming trendy to offer selfies as a feature in video games now. Just weeks after World of Warcraft added self-portraits through a new patch, the classic first-person-shooter Doom is getting the same treatment — albeit unofficially. There’s a new mod for the game called “InstaDoom” that adds a selfie stick and 37 Instagram filters to the game, opening the door to some strange in-game photo ops. The mod, created by a modder named Linguica, swaps the chainsaw and BFG weapons in the game for a selfie stick with a representation of your character on the other end. With a filter...
![Photos of White Balloons Invading Everyday Scenes]()
“Invasions” is a quirky photo project by French photographer Charles Pétillon, who used huge clouds of white balloons as a metaphor for various things in life. The images may look like they use CGI renderings of white orbs, but there’s no digital manipulation involved: Pétillon actually introduced physical balloons to shoot each shot. In the photograph above, the balloons are meant to be a metaphor for childhood family memories that emerge from homes. This one is a commentary on video games and their influence in society: This one uses balloons to symbolize DNA and genetic mutation...
![Major Museums Are Now Banning Selfie Sticks]()
As the selfie stick craze sweeps the nation, major museums in the United States are banning the device in order to protect both visitors and artworks. The New York Times reports that the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is just the latest notable museum to issue a ban. Other establishments that have recently decided to do the same include the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the National Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC; and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. There are multiple cited reasons for the ban....
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth I have met a lot of people who, upon getting their first DSLR, immediately want to start taking pics of their kids, their friends, some high school seniors, or maybe even a wedding. They want to dive headfirst into the deep end of the photography pool, even if they aren’t entirely sure what they are doing. For the record, I fully support this! Experience can be the best teacher of all, and even if the stakes are high like a wedding or graduation, I admire those who can throw caution to the wind and jump right in, even if they may be a bit unprepared. That sense of...

![Olympus to Make 40MP Sensor Shift Photos Possible During Handheld Shooting]()
One of the main innovations found in the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 II is its ability to shoot massive 40MP photos with its 16MP sensor by doing “sensor shifting” and combining multiple shots. The main downside, however, is that you need a tripod to make sure the camera doesn’t move between shots. That may soon change: Olympus says its working on making the sensor shift technology work even when the photographer is shooting handheld without stabilization. This news comes courtesy of Olympus General Manager Setsuya Kataoka, who shared these company plans during an interview with DPReview....
![‘Gotham City SF’ Offers a Dark and Gritty View of the City by the Bay]()
“Gotham City SF” is a time-lapse and photo project by San Francisco-based photographer Toby Harriman that offers a black-and-white view of The City by the Bay that’s inspired by Gotham City, the fictional home of Batman. The idea came to Harriman back in 2012 while he was just discovering a passion for monochrome photography. He wandered into a look he dubbed “Gotham,” and shot a series of photos of San Francisco with that style. After discovering the world of time-lapse photography recently, Harriman decided to revisit his “Gotham” concept in a new time-lapse project, and “Gotham...

A Post By: Natalia Robert Shooting interiors can be tricky. Spaces tend to either look cold and empty, or warm and inviting. While we always strive to capture what the eye sees, the complexity of the human eye will never be matched by the lens of any camera. Still, there are things you can do before, during, and after shooting an interior space that will go a long way in improving your chances of ending up with stellar photos. Not sure where to start for improving your architectural photos? Here are my favorite tips for photographing interiors, plus some tricks for touching them up with...
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth One of the most useful features in Lightroom is one that tends to get overlooked, or at least under-utilized. The Radial Filter, introduced in Lightroom 5, is an incredibly powerful image adjustment tool that can be used to enhance your photos in many ways. From creating vignettes, to enhancing colors, to adjusting the exposure, and white balance, this humble little icon sitting on the right-hand side of the Develop module can unlock a variety of creative possibilities and bring new life to not only your photos, but your photography as a whole.

![This Guy Documented His Journey Through Veracruz, Mexico with Drone Selfies]()
Photographer Alex Chacón recently traveled on a road trip through Veracruz, Mexico. He documented the trip by combining his passions for selfies and drones to create “dronies.” Each memorable location was captured by drone with the camera first zoomed in on Chacón and then flown high into the air for a wide-angle view of the area. Chacón previously documented his 500-day trip across the Americas in 2013 and created a 600 day video selfie across 36 countries in 2014. Source Article from...
![Forgotten Countryside Homes]()
What leads a family’s decision as they decide to stand up, open their door and walk out, leaving everything behind? Forgotten homes sit scattered across our country like eerie time capsules filled with stories, rotting away under the unforgiving power of nature. What influences some of us in our lives to simply walk away from a place once thriving with so much life and color? Our world is littered with forgotten pieces of former days strewn about, like a shaken container full of Legos, lying brittle, broken and lost. Through photographic documentation, I attempt to search out these...
![NASA Creates Movie Parody Posters Featuring Its ISS Expedition Astronauts]()
The image above may look like a poster for the upcoming Star Wars movie, but it’s actually a portrait NASA just released of its Expedition 45 crew. It’s a long-standing tradition of the space agency for its crews to pose for a wacky photo shoot for posters that are often parodies of popular Hollywood movies. The shoots are a multi-national affair. This latest poster features astronauts from the United States, Russia, and Japan. Here’s the first “movie poster” portrait that was released for Expedition 1 back in the year 2000: This poster kicked off the tradition of wacky portraits that...
![Creating My Own Captain Jack Sparrow Movie Posters with a Garage Shoot and Photoshop]()
Last year I stumbled upon an online video showing a man dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow, and decided that this is the one guy I want to take photos of and make some movie-style posters. I love everything about the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, especially the movie posters of the whole series. The man in the video I saw was Cardiff Jack Sparrow, a lookalike of the famous pirate character originally portrayed by Johnny Depp. In this case, he was portrayed by Terry Cooper, an actor based in Cardiff. And HE IS AWESOME! Not only does he have all the bells and whistles to portray...
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt By Paolo Margari Earlier I shared some images created using the panning technique. I love the dramatic feeling of motion that happens when everything comes together and it works. Panning isn’t easy to perfect though, it takes a little bit of practice.

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt In the last couple of weeks we’ve looked at both images of long exposure masterpieces, and ones with fast shutter speeds that freeze the action. This week is kind of a combination of the two. Panning is a technique that uses a slow shutter speed but adds a sense of motion in the background. Here are some great examples of panning images.

Darkroom is a new photo editor for iPhones that just launched today. The app offers a number of powerful features for editing photos on iOS, including do-it-yourself photo filters, a curves tool, and an infinite history with all your edits. Created by Majd Taby and Matt Brown of a small startup called Bergen Co., Darkroom is designed to offer photo enthusiasts a more personalized way of editing their photos that goes beyond simple photo filters. “Our insight was that mobile filters were developed using desktop tools,” Taby writes. “What if the same tools existed on a mobile app?”...
![Portraits of Famous Photographers with Their Iconic Photographs]()
Photographer Tim Mantoani is the man behind one of the great photo projects and books of our time. Called “Behind Photographs“, the series is a giant collection of giant 20×24 Polaroid pictures of some of the world’s most famous photographers holding their most iconic photos. We first featured the project here back in 2012, but here’s a closer look at this work, which has gotten a great deal of press and attention as of late. “Behind Photographs” first started back in December 2006, when Mantoani rented a 20×24 Polaroid camera in San Francisco and used it to photograph two...

Today, I’m going to show you how to create a dress from scratch out of something that was not a dress… at all. Here are five steps to creating a gown using Photoshop. #1: It Can Be Almost Anything Seriously, people – I’m having a hard time coming up with a single thing that I don’t believe could be manipulated into a dress. In fact if you can think of anything that wouldn’t work, I’m all ears. Obviously some things are going to make prettier dresses, like I don’t know, maybe fake flowers perhaps? I’ve seen dresses Photoshopped out of keys, feathers, fans, paper snowflakes, and even...
![The Importance of Cameras in the Smartphone War]()
When new smartphones are announced these days, the camera quality and specs are usually front and center. If you’re wondering why manufacturers focus so much on mobile photography, check out the chart above: taking photos is the most used feature of smartphones alongside text messaging. The chart was shared recently in a slideshow created by Samsung marketing. It’s based on data from a Pew Research Center survey done of smartphone users in 2011. The study found that 92% of smartphone users use their phones to take pictures. 80% of users go on to send their photos elsewhere after...
A Post By: Kate Hailey There is so much power in photography, as the old adage goes: A picture is worth a thousand words. Imagine if you did more than just create a photograph? Imagine if you taught a generation of people how to tell a story with a camera? Would you? I have, and find it terribly rewarding! Well perhaps not an entire generation, but I have worked with some awesome teenagers in the Seattle area. Let me just say, it’s truly wonderful to see what can happen when you work with young curious minds. I have mentored with a Seattle area non-profit, Youth In Focus whose mission is to...
A Post By: James Brandon A massive supercell near Henrietta Texas in May, 2014. © James Brandon I’ve been a professional photographer for around five years now. I’ve photographed a lot of different subjects throughout the years, but nothing in the world could have prepared me for photographing storms. When I stood in front of my first supercell on May 8th of 2013, I was hooked. A low hanging wall of cloud hovered over the field in front of me as its rotation increased by the second. The 40mph winds at my back were feeding moisture and warm air into the storm. The grass in the field was all...
Canon’s new 11-24mm F4 is attracting a lot of attention at this year’s CP+ show in Yokohama, but away from the crows of keen enthusiasts waiting to get their hands on samples, we found a very much non-working example, cut in half showing its internal construction. The first thing that is striking about the internal construction of the 11-24mm is just how dense it is. There’s hardly a spare millimeter of air anywhere inside this complex multi-element zoom. The front element of the 11-24mm is massive, at 87mm in diameter – Canon tells us that this...
![Photographer Spends Years Creating New ‘Historical’ Photos of Old Warships]()
Danish photographer Thomas Bangsted sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from “spray and pray” photography. The Brooklyn-based artist often spends months or years completing individual pictures through researching, traveling, shooting, and post-processing. The 7-minute video above offers a glimpse into how Bangsted creates his art. One of his big projects in recent years is a series of faux historical photos showing battleships from old wars. Each image is actually a composite photo of multiple layers that required enormous amounts of time to create through photography and digital...

Lynsey Addario is a 41-year-old photojournalist who has taken her camera into virtually ever major theater of war in the 21st century. She has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur, the Congo, Haiti, and Libya (she was one of the four NYTimes journalist kidnapped in Libya in 2011). In addition to documenting wars for the world to see, Addario is passionate about human rights and the topic of women’s roles in traditional societies. The photographer has just published a new memoir about her life and work, titled “It’s What I Do: A Photographer’s Life of Love and War.” In the...

Want to see what a 10K time-lapse video looks like? Look no further than the video above. Titled “10328×7760: A 10K Timelapse Demo,” it was created by Los Angeles-based photographer Joe Capra, a guy who specializes in ultra-high-definition time-lapse photography. If you don’t have a 10K display handy, don’t worry: the video zooms in to show you the level of quality the video has. Capra shot a total of 5 different scenes in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil using a PhaseOne IQ180 digital camera back to capture 80 megapixel photos. Each of the individual RAW photos was 10328×7760 pixels in...
![Canon 5DS Promo Mugs Poke Fun at the Nikon D800 and Its ‘Small’ 36MP Sensor]()
Canon is apparently promoting its new 5DS DSLR with a pair of mugs that poke fun at Nikon. There’s a big mug that has EOS 5DS printed across the front, while a smaller companion mug features the text “I AM SMALL” with the design used by Nikon’s I AM ad campaigns. The back of the mugs say “50.6 megapixels” and “36.0 megapixels,” respectively. Interestingly enough, the ratio of the size of the lenses appears to be 50.6:36. The mugs are a reference to the fact that Canon has now introduced super-high-resolution 50.6MP full frame sensors in its 5D line of cameras, which dwarfs the 36MP...
![Experiment Shows What Happens When You Repost a Photo to Instagram 90 Times]()
Every time you post a photo to Instagram, it loses a tiny bit of quality. It’s not really noticeable for a single upload, but if you save and repost the photo over and over, the quality loss becomes extreme. It’s a concept known as “generation loss,” and is the subject of artist Pete Ashton‘s project “I Am Sitting In Stagram (2015).” The experiment is a variation on composer Alvin Lucier’s “I Am Sitting in a Room” experiment in which Lucier recorded himself talking and then rerecorded the recording over and over until his voice becomes unintelligible. In Ashton’s project, the artist...
![Blue Water Macro Photography]()
By Joseph Tepper
When many underwater photographers delve into macro photography, the instinct is to use the smallest possible apertures to bring out the most detail in the subject with the most depth of field. Such an approach means very little (or no) natural light hits the camera sensor, so that only what the strobe hits is exposed. The result is the macro subject starkly situated in front of a black background.
While this black background can be a pleasing way to make the subject really “pop,” it’s not the only way to expose...
A Post By: Al Jurina Let’s say that perhaps you’ve been taking photos for a while now. You’ve gotten yourself a good DSLR camera and have recognized that the standard 18-55mm kit lens that comes with your camera is nice, but just doesn’t give you the shots that you are looking for. So you plunk down your money on the ever-popular 50mm f/1.8 prime lens that everybody is talking about, mount in on your camera, change your aperture to its widest (f/1.8) setting and start shooting. You spend all day shooting with this wonderful little lens and then you get home and put them on your computer and...
A Post By: Monica Day Let’s face it, photographers are artists. We love creating works of art in our photography. We love to express ourselves with our camera. We create photographs based on what our mind sees. You can take five different photographers with the same setting or model and get five completely different photographs. We are artists and photograph in our own unique ways. It’s important for us to continue to learn and grown and keeping a journal is an amazing way to do that. Your photo journal will serve two purposes. The first is to document your growth as a photographer. The...
We’re at the CP+ show in Yokohama Japan, where Sigma is showing its brand new 24mm f1.4 full-frame prime lens. The latest in the company’s ‘Art’ series of fast primes, we have high hopes for the new lens based on our extremely positive impressions of the 35mm and 50mm lenses which have come before it. Sigma very kindly let us shoot some sample images on a late pre-production lens and it does indeed look very, very nice. Take a look at our initial gallery of samples Note that these samples were shot hand-held, at Sigma’s show-floor booth. We...

There may be some confusion regarding what digital compact system cameras are for. When the concept was introduced in 2008 with the birth of the Micro Four Thirds standard and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, it was explained to the press and to the public that this new breed of small interchangeable lens cameras had been created to help compact camera users progress toward something more capable and flexible. The line was that compact camera users would be able to access more controls and better image quality without the pain, inconvenience and complication of moving to a...

After Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, passed away in 2012, his widow contacted the National Air and Space Museum. Carol Armstrong had discovered a white cloth bag in one of Neil’s closets, and it was filled with items that looked like they had been used in space.

I created Photo Stealers as not only a way for photographers to protect their copyrighted works and their clients’ rights but also to protect consumers from these photographers whom are misrepresenting their body of work. Thus far, there has not been a single photographer listed on Photo Stealers by mistake. Often, those outed on Photo Stealers fight back, some more than others, but one of my latest cases has created a whole new level of fighting back. In January, I received a submission on a photographer named SJK Photography based in Delray Beach, Florida. As with all submissions, I...

A Post By: Karthika Gupta “Watch out”, she yelled a little too late as I slipped on an icy patch of snow and tumbled unceremoniously, almost flat on my face. The first thought racing through my head was, “My camera! Please God let nothing happen to my camera!”. Had I researched the location and the weather prior to my photoshoot, I would have realized that the temperatures had dipped quite a bit the night before, freezing the melting snow on the ground. A few hundred dollars later (my lens took the brunt of my fall and the focus ring got dislodged) with my ego a little bruised, I now always...

Serif has launched Affinity Photo software, an alternative to Adobe Photoshop for Mac users. The company touches on a couple different notable selling points: its software is considerably cheaper than Photoshop, but no less robust, and comes with the added benefit of silky-smooth operation, at least according to its maker. Additionally, because it is newly created for the latest hardware, Serif says Affinity Photo offers performance that Photoshop struggles to match. Affinity Photo is currently in beta, and can be acquired for free by signing up on Serif’s website....

Ricoh wants to win photographers over to its Pentax K-S line of DSLRs. The company’s first offering, the K-S1, was laughed at for its strange futuristic design that included strange glowing lights in different parts of the camera body. Some called it the worst camera of 2014, and a botched marketing photo didn’t help the cause. Today Ricoh unveiled a successor that aims to turn the tide of public opinion. The K-S2 is a 20MP APS-C sensor DSLR that opts for a safer and more traditional design. As a reminder, here’s what the original K-S1 looks like: Ricoh says the K-S2 is the world’s...

![Photographer Unveils ‘B*tchCoins’: A Digital Currency Backed by Her Prints]()
The BitCoin boom of 2014 (and subsequent decline) helped introduced the idea of a digital currency to the general public. Photographer Sarah Meyohas wants to take advantage of this new awareness: she is launching her own “digital currency” called the “B*tchCoin” (BC) that’s backed by her own photography. The currency has a fixed exchange rate of 1 BC to 25-square-inches of photographic print. “This rate of exchange will not change, even if the value of the photography increases,” Meyohas says. If the value of her photography increases in the future, so will the relative value of the...

Nikon has announced the D810A: the first full-frame astrophotography-specific camera. This is the largest sensor to appear in a consumer astrophotography camera, bringing improved light capture capabilities to the discipline. It’s essentially a Nikon D810 with a modified IR-cut filter to ensure the camera can capture light emitted by nebulae and additional features to support long exposure photography. Most cameras’ Infrared filters are rather broad-ranging and filter out some visible red light, as well as IR. The filter on the D810a is much more precise,...

It also has a 3” 920k dot vari-angle LCD and 1080/30p video capture. The S9900 and S7000 are sleeker in design,...

Japan has confiscated the passport of a photographer who was planning to travel to Syria, saying that the move was necessary to protect the man’s life. It is reportedly the first time the country’s government has ever taken such action.BBC reports that 59-year-old Yuichi Sugimoto had planned to enter Syria later this month with a soldier who had worked as a guide for recently slain hostage Kenji Goto. Sugimoto hoped to bring his camera into the war-torn country’s refugee camps. The photographer tells the Japan Times that he’s a responsible journalist when it comes to safety, saying,...
![Shooting Freestyle Skiers in the Mountains of Austria with Photographer Christoph Oberschneider]()
Want to see what it’s like to photograph skiers in the backcountry? Sports photographer Christoph Oberschneider recently did a 3-day ski shoot with good friends in the mountains of Austria. He brought along a GoPro to capture what the adventure looked like from his point of view, creating the 2.5-minute video seen above. Oberschneider, who’s sponsored by Tamron, carries a camera kit that comprises a Sony a99, Sony a77 II, Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8, and Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8. His camera backpack is a bit unusual. Rather than a standard outdoorsy camera bag, Oberschneider’s backpack doubles...
![Photo Booths In Japan Will Quietly Retouch Your Face to Fix Your ‘Flaws’]()
In Japan, purikura refers to a photo booth in which you can pose for a photo with friends and decorate the portraits before receiving little printed versions. One interesting thing that sets many of these machines apart from their Western world counterparts is the fact that they will quietly do beauty retouching on photos in an attempt to fix subjects’ facial “flaws.” A Canadian woman living in Japan named Micaela Braithwaite recently noticed that her photo booth photos somehow always turned out a little too “pretty.” To see how far these photo booths would “lie” to “fix” her “flaws”,...
![A Close-Up Hubble Photo of the Rare Triple Transit of Jupiter’s Moons]()
On January 23rd, 2015, there was a rare triple transit of Jupiter’s moons, during which observers here on Earth were treated with the sight of three moons crossing the face of the planet at the same time. This event happens only once or twice every ten years. The Hubble Space Telescope was pointed at Jupiter during the triple transit and captured the beautiful photo above. It shows, from left to right, Europa, Callisto, and Io. Here’s a time-lapse video that was created using image shot during the 40-minute event: A week ago, we featured a guest post by photographer Ricardo Viera, who...

Last year Apple announced at its developers conference that it was going to replace both its desktop image management and editing applications, iPhoto and Aperture with one single app called Photos. Now it has released a preview of the new software with a beta version of OS X 10.10.3 which has been made available to developers. As expected, Photos is much more geared towards the iPhoto consumer level users than the enthusiasts and professionals who might have been managing and editing their image collections in Aperture. Photos emphasizes on iCloud Photo integration, giving you...

Back in 1887, a photography instructor named Edward M. Estabrooke published a book titled Photography in the Studio and in the Field. It was “a practical manual designed as a companion alike to the professional and the amateur photographer.” Filled with detailed information on how to practice photography with the equipment and technologies of the time, the book also contains interesting passages that describe how the world of photography was changing. The passage, first discovered by Reddit user h4rpur, describes how improvements in camera technology were making photo-making easier...

Monrovia is the capital of Liberia, the West African country that was founded by the United States and settled in the 1800s by mostly freed slaves (hence its name, which means “land of freedom”). When French photographer Francois Beaurain visited the city in early 2014, he spent five months wandering the streets and documenting this land that he previously knew nothing about. He then created a series of cinemagraphs — or “moving photos” — that offer a glimpse into what Monrovia is like. Beaurain was in the country because his girlfriend was doing humanitarian work in the capital. His...

![Wide-Angle Macro Photography with Compact Cameras]()
By Xander Water
Underwater photographers often encounter the same problem before a dive—choosing between wide-angle and macro. But why not do both at the same time? Wide-angle macro (or WAM) is a photographic technique that combines a foreground macro subject with a wide-angle background showing the subject’s surroundings.
In some ways it’s similar to close-focus wide angle (CFWA) but more extreme: Instead of shooting medium sized subjects, you can capture wide-angle images of traditional macro critters. It is a great technique for...
A Post By: Karthika Gupta Let’s take a walk down memory lane with the song “One” written by Harry Nilsson. It was made famous by Three Dog Night in the late 1960’s. The song is particularly renowned for it’s opening line : “One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do. Two can be as bad as one. It’s the loneliest number since the number one.” I believe there is a lot to be learned from this song. The core message being, don’t go through your life without any social interaction. I am not taking about your Facebook fans or your Instagram followers, but of the actual social connections you...

Or at least narrow it down as much as you can. You might change your mind many times as you work on the design. Organize them...

Fujifilm has announced a strange new lens over in Japan. It’s called the XM-FL, and it’s a 24mm f/8 body cap-style pancake lens that features built-in photo filters that can be accessed by turning a dial on the side. There are three different filters: Protect for fending off dirt and scratches (basically the non-filtered option), Cross for giving the light sources in your shot a sparkly look, Soft for a dreamlike photos. There’s also a Lens Cover for using the lens as a body cap. Photographers can choose the filter they want by turning a dial that has notches on it to indicate which...

They’re working on an ecosystem based around a product known as the Makerframe, a wooden picture frame that can print and frame your photos using its built-in thermal printer. To fill the frame with a new photograph, you simply beam the image to the frame using the iOS or Android smartphone app, insert a blank sheet of thermal color photo paper into one side of the frame, and voila! Your new print will magically replace the previous image in the frame. Each...
![Photographer’s Portraits of Hairless Dogs Warn of the Dangers of Messing with Nature]()
If you look through the winners of the annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest, you’ll find that many of the crowned contestants lack hair on most — if not all — of their body. For some reason, it seems people just aren’t very fond of how hairless dogs look. Photographer Sophie Gamand recently decided to make hairless dogs the subject of a portrait project titled “Prophesy.” Gamand focused her attention on two main hairless dog breeds: the Chinese Crested and the Xoloitzcuintli (AKA the Mexican hairless dog). It is generally believed that the Chinese Crested breed became the way it is...

A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth I have met a lot of people who, upon getting their first DSLR, immediately want to start taking pics of their kids, their friends, some high school seniors, or maybe even a wedding. They want to dive headfirst into the deep end of the photography pool, even if they aren’t entirely sure what they are doing. For the record, I fully support this! Experience can be the best teacher of all, and even if the stakes are high like a wedding or graduation, I admire those who can throw caution to the wind and jump right in, even if they may be a bit unprepared. That sense of...

Weekly Photography Challenge – Panning

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt By Paolo Margari Earlier I shared some images created using the panning technique. I love the dramatic feeling of motion that happens when everything comes together and it works. Panning isn’t easy to perfect though, it takes a little bit of practice.

A Sense of Motion with 26 Speedy Panning Images

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt In the last couple of weeks we’ve looked at both images of long exposure masterpieces, and ones with fast shutter speeds that freeze the action. This week is kind of a combination of the two. Panning is a technique that uses a slow shutter speed but adds a sense of motion in the background. Here are some great examples of panning images.

CP+ 2015: Fujifilm shows prototype roadmap lenses
Posted by Chris Roubis on 14th, Feb, 2015 |
no responses
I’ll take interest in these lenses when they make it to availability – they all appeal in different ways to what I do…… I’m pleased to see the 90mm looking a bit trimmer than the first prototype they showed at Photokina. A 62mm filter thread seems a bit more plausible for a 90/2 than the 72mm of the earlier one. I think the 120/2.8 macro is going to need a tripod foot. It’s a long lens in the physical sense and the specs suggest it’ll be a relatively heavy one. Put that on the matched 1.4X extender or extension tubes (or both) and it will exert a...

CP+ 2015: Hands-on with Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD

That depends. The 14-24 has been out for a LOOONG time, and various 16-35s or similar have been out for quite a while. Tamron has had a lot of time to study to get the design right. Tamron is “hit or miss” like Sigma. While Sigma has upped their game with the “ART” designation helping consumers weed through the dogs, Tamron is still in their early 2000s mode (hit or miss). Keep your eye on this lens (image samples, quality assurance, firmware issues, AF problems, etc). I wouldn’t buy it in the first 6 months. But if it performs solid for 6 months (on other...

I didn’t expected more from a P&S, frankly. But being reminded how the P&S IQ looked like was really refreshing. A very good zoom range, 23mm WA, 10cm MFD, good back LCD and proper network connectivity. But lens is prohibitively soft. Yet, the street price is very decent. What’s more, it behaves like a smartphone, which is a big plus for the target audience. A pretty unique and interesting camera overall. And apparently, it can work as a normal Android device.

7 Things I’ve Learned from Photographing Storms

A Post By: James Brandon A massive supercell near Henrietta Texas in May, 2014. © James Brandon I’ve been a professional photographer for around five years now. I’ve photographed a lot of different subjects throughout the years, but nothing in the world could have prepared me for photographing storms. When I stood in front of my first supercell on May 8th of 2013, I was hooked. A low hanging wall of cloud hovered over the field in front of me as its rotation increased by the second. The 40mph winds at my back were feeding moisture and warm air into the storm. The grass in the field was all...

Barney, for the next trade show would you be so kind and take a little styrofoam brick wall with you, so you can set it up at any distance for your test shots and properly satisfy the focus-plane-brick-wall-professionals here. 😉 Seriously now, I thought that this lens delivered some very nice shots of you, especially for being such a fairly wide WA, with very good looking bokeh. The ceiling and its corners, o well, I don’t care so much about ceilings (or brick walls). Speaking of bokeh, a shootout for WAs as well as other FLs would be a really nice thing, including one for portrait...
CP+ 2015: A closer look at Canon’s forthcoming PowerShot G3X
Posted by Chris Roubis on 13th, Feb, 2015 |
no responses
If there will be a good EVF to clip on, hopefully one that isn’t too bulky, the camera might become a winner. That lens is incredibly compact for a 600mm equivalent zoom for a 1″ sensor; I wouldn’t have thought such a lens could be made in that size. Maybe they’re using diffractive optics? Ok, when zoomed out to give 600mm it will probably be two or three times as long as what we see here, but nevertheless… I do like the rangefinderesque design; much better than all the other bulky DSLR-style superzoom compacts. Then again, it clearly isn’t pocketable...

Ricoh’s newest lens roadmaps show four upcoming K-mount lenses
Posted by Chris Roubis on 13th, Feb, 2015 |

It’s not so strange (the 11 primes), since 2 are macros, 3 are “kit-priced” lenses that are sometimes bundled with cameras, and some only work on APS-C (or at least are advertised as such). Of the four FA (FF) lenses at the bottom, two are moderately priced and two are premium. Also, Pentax is more of a prime-oriented system, once you get into it. Nikon tries to lure you in through their nice f/1.8 G primes, and Canon practically makes you you dive in kicking and screaming with their premium-priced L primes. Many Canon owners never get past the zooms, or don’t...
CP+ 2015: Canon shows 11-24mm in cross-section
Posted by Chris Roubis on 13th, Feb, 2015 |

Canon’s new 11-24mm F4 is attracting a lot of attention at this year’s CP+ show in Yokohama, but away from the crows of keen enthusiasts waiting to get their hands on samples, we found a very much non-working example, cut in half showing its internal construction. The first thing that is striking about the internal construction of the 11-24mm is just how dense it is. There’s hardly a spare millimeter of air anywhere inside this complex multi-element zoom. The front element of the 11-24mm is massive, at 87mm in diameter – Canon tells us that this...

All of these features that they have added are available in the less than $200 Olympus E-PM2. The biggest difference is the 4/3” sensor versus full frame. However, full frame is actually a drawback for astrophotography.With astrophotography depth of field is always infinite so the “Full frame Equivalence” argument is irrelevant. What is important is that trying to get a telescope to cover a full frame sensor is VERY expensive. You can get away with very inexpensive 1.5” filters and adapters with m4/3s where as you need the ridiculously expensive 2” filters and adapters for full frame. A good...

The line was that compact camera users would be able to access more controls and better image quality without the pain, inconvenience and complication of moving to a...

Had I researched the location and the weather prior to my photoshoot, I would have realized that the temperatures had dipped quite a bit the night before, freezing the melting snow on the ground. A few hundred dollars later (my lens took the brunt of my fall and the focus ring got dislodged) with my ego a little bruised, I now always...

Additionally, because it is newly created for the latest hardware, Serif says Affinity Photo offers performance that Photoshop struggles to match. Affinity Photo is currently in beta, and can be acquired for free by signing up on Serif’s website....

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.
