Image: Francois Cazanave (c) 2014 MBARI The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has created an open source camera system for use underwater to aid in research projects. The rig is composed of a GoPro camera and other easily sourced components, and is cheaper than commercially available oceanographic camera systems. With this, other researchers are able to create and utilize the camera for their own research purposes when the...
![Photographer Makes Fruits and Vegetables Glow by Sticking Lights Inside]()
Romanian photographer Radu Zaciu has been experimenting recently with photographing fruits and vegetables using internal lighting. He places bulbs inside and uses that as the main light source for his series of glowing images. The project is called “The Light Inside.” He starts by drilling or carving holes into the fruits and veggies. The holes need to be big enough to fit a light bulb, but not so big that it completely removes the flesh of the “subject” (which helps give a glow color that unique to the fruit). “It all started with a game of words,” Zaciu tells us. “The German word...

“The Last Book” is an interesting series of images collected by Dutch photographer Reinier Gerritsen, who spent 13 weeks over 3 years scouring the subway system of New York City for riders reading books. Every time he saw one, he would snap a picture and make a note of the book that was being read. Gerritsen shot thousands of photographs during his many hours in the subways, and what resulted was an extensive catalog of subway riders and their books of choice. He has selected a large number of them for display on the project’s website where they’re arranged in alphabetical order by...

Light painting photographer Darren Pearson spent the past year working on the stop motion animation above, titled “Lightspeed.” Each of the 1,000 frames in it is a separate light-painted photograph that was captured in various locations across California. Locations featured in the video include Mono Lake, Big Sur, Trona Pinnacles, Death Valley, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

![JPEG Voodoo: Or, Does JPEG File Size Matter?]()
Would you say the above photograph has any compression artifacts? Compressed too much, not enough, or just right? What exactly is “just right” anyway. This post will explore the concept of compression, why and how do we do it, and how aggressive we should be in either reducing the file size or increasing the image quality. I have been asked many times about the JPEG compression, file size, screen or projection resolution and how these affect the visible quality of an image. It is hard to convince people that at the same pixel dimensions, lower compression rates (or larger file sizes)...
A Post By: Sime I’ve been using studio lights for a couple of years now, I’ve used a few different brands with all sorts of different modifiers, from the basic softboxes that your less expensive lighting kits might come with, to my current favourite, the 2 meter Octa from Studio-Flash.com. The one consistency with bundled lighting kits is that they mostly all come with a set of lightweight stands that, for the most part, are great and will certainly do what you need them to do when you’re starting out and they’ll get you a long way with clever use of sandbags and counterweights. But when you...
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Over the past few years I have learned a great deal about doing portraits, especially of young kids. I think it’s because I get so much enjoyment out of these types of shoots that I end up doing them more, though at some point it hardly seems fair because I wonder if I’m having more fun than the children whose pictures I am taking. While each session is unique, I have developed my own style (which, in many ways, will always be a work in progress as I continue to learn new things) when it comes to both the shooting and editing process, and I thought it might help...

Underwater photographer Keri Wilk was swimming with sperm whales off the coast of Dominica in March 2014 when found he found himself capturing something rather unexpected: a massive whale “defecation event.” The 30-year-old Canadian photographer says he and a diving group he was leading had managed to swim up to one of the gentle giants for a closer look before the “poopsplosion” occurred. They managed to snap a number of close-up photographs with the whale: All of a sudden, the whale repositioned its body, pointed its tail towards the surface, and the “epic bowel movement” began....

While pursuing a self-portrait project about motherhood, photographer Jamie Diamond stumbled upon the world of reborn dolls. These are realistic dolls that are made to look like actual babies as much as possible. An entire subculture exists around this idea: the process of creating these dolls is called “reborning,” and the artists who create them are called “reborners.” Diamond spent a year immersing herself in a community of reborners, investigating their craft and documenting their lives through portraits. Once she had a deeper understanding of this strange new world, Diamond...
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Earlier I shared a bunch of elegant images of the world of dance. Dance is an art form just like photography. It take discipline and endurance to be a dancer. Can you relate as a photographer? Each is a passion, something which needs practice to perfect. Dance is picturesque and often is partnered with photography as the are symbiotic – they work well together. By Michael Dunn Weekly photography challenge – dance Now it’s your turn.

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Last week we looked at magical images of music, this week let’s explore the world of dance! Dancers have a lot of passion and determination. It takes a lot of work and practice to be a good dancer, even more to be great. Hmm, sound familiar? Just like anything – the more you do it, the better chance you have of improvement. I’ve always silently envied dancers. They move with such grace, flow, elegance. Not to mention how fit and strong they always look. Photography of dancers is the same – when done well! This set of images of dancers spoke to me on both levels...
Sigma has acknowledged that Pentax users are suffering from blurred images when the company’s 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro HSM Contemporary lens is used on Pentax DSLR bodies with in-camera image stabilization activated.

![Space Awaits! Shooting a Photo of Young Astronauts in Their Backyard Space Program]()
“Space Awaits!” is a personal project I did. I came up with the idea of a photo shoot featuring young astronauts. My inspiration was retro futurism as a fashion style and the era of human excitement about space travel. The story is about two kids sneaking out of their house before everyone is awake, probably to try out the lunar lander parked in their backyard. I started with a sketch because I wanted to find the best composition. The idea was to have a house and a moon lander in the background. After completing the challenging task of finding and booking the right location and the...

Finnish photography student Tomi Rantanen contacted us to tell us about a unique exhibition that he participated in last week. His photography school, Kuusamo College, partnered up with students from the University of Lapland to create an outdoor exhibition out of snow and ice. Over the course of five days, roughly 10 students built large sculptures together, including a bear, a husky, a capercaillie, and a drink station for serving refreshments to exhibition attendees. The main attraction was a giant 9×12-foot camera, 10-foot-tall film roll, and a long film strip wall. The students...
![Disabled Photographer Petitioning Canon to Make a DSLR for Left-Handed People]()
Throughout the history of photography, cameras have mostly been designed with right handed people in mind. For DSLRs in particular, the shutter button and camera controls are usually on the right side of the camera, making it difficult to operate without using your right hand. Florida-based photographer Sylvia Cacciatore is on a mission to change that: she’s currently petitioning Canon to consider developing a camera that’s designed specifically for left-handed people. Sylvia Cacciatore Cacciatore suffered from a brachial plexus injury during her birth that led to the complete...

China’s CCTV is reporting that more and more couples in Asia are flocking to South Korea in order to have their engagement photos captured on the sets of Korean drama TV shows. These shoots can cost upwards of $4,000 — at least four times more than the shoots would cost in other countries. The couple featured in the segment above traveled to South Korea to do their shoot on the set of the popular fantasy romance TV show My Love From the Star: A still frame from My Love From the Star (above) and one couple’s recreation of the shot (below). CCTV is also reporting that China’s wedding...
A Post By: Francesco Gola I do not believe that in photography there are absolute rules of composition, but it is undeniable that certain compositions work better than others. Why? Probably because our brain is the result of millions of years of evolution, and as in two dots and a line we recognize a face (you don’t believe me? Have a look here.), in the same way we recognize some images as more pleasant to look at than others. So let’s look at a few tricks to keep in mind during your next visit to the seaside. Start following rules Before trying to break rules, try to follow them. Start...
A Post By: Gina Milicia I spent the first three years of my photography career avoiding the use of speedlights off-camera because I couldn’t wrap my head around the concepts and science behind them. I tried to cover it up saying things like “I’m a natural light photographer.” or “I really don’t like the aesthetics of flash photography.” But then, I reluctantly invested in a flash for my first Nikon. This was the 90s, pre-digital, pre-autofocus, and pre-TTL. I had to calculate how much flash to use via a chart on the top of the flash. The formula was complicated, but if you knew how to split...
Light & Motion has introduced a new GoPro companion light called the Sidekick, and it is seeking funding for its production on Kickstarter. The Sidekick is designed to attach directly to the GoPro’s existing mount, eliminating the need to tote around an external light, though it retains some flexibility via an optional armature for positioning the light. Sidekick is a rectangular companion light that provides a wide 600 lumen beam, while a secondary model, the Sidekick Duo, also offers a 400 lumen spot beam intended for navigation purposes. Both the Sidekick...

For his project “Comfort Zone,” Lithuanian photographer Tadao Cern visited a public beach and shot photographs of the people sleeping comfortably on the sandy beach. The images were not staged, and none of the subjects were aware that a photograph was being made. Cern says he was interested in the fact that the act of sleeping on a beach seems to make people more genuine. “During our everyday life we attempt to hide our deficiencies, both physical and psychological,” he writes. “However, once we find ourselves on a beach – we forget about everything and start acting in an absolutely...

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich The technology of photography has been evolving at a very rapid rate. Most of our cameras are almost obsolete by the time we purchase them! But one thing about photography hasn’t changed over the years and that is the art of photography. We can learn so much about the that from the masters of yester-years. Ansel Adams was one of these great masters, best known for his iconic black and white images of the American West. Let’s review some quotes from Mr. Adams and consider how we might apply them to modern day photography. This image by Bruce Wunderlich was part of...
A Post By: Gavin Hardcastle I have a habit of shooting for the crop (see my previous article ‘No Telephoto lens No Problem – Shoot for the crop‘) which often means that my final vision is a 4:2 proportion, or even a 4:1 panorama style image, instead of the most common 3:2 that is the default for most digital cameras. With Photoshop’s latest crop tool this has never been easier, so let me show you how to crop like a boss!

You know those hands you see in advertisements and commercials? Those hands belong to people who make a living by offering up their beautiful hands to help companies market their products. Some of those hands are insured for seven figure sums and have helped their owners become “supermodels” in their field. For their project “Head Shots of Hand Models,” ad executive Alex Holder and photographer Oli Kellett shot portraits of hand models, both their hands and their faces. These are people who work with the world’s largest brands on the world’s priciest ad campaigns, but “you’ve never...
![One Photographer’s Reflections on Making His Own Instant Photo Press Camera]()
One of the most important decisions a photographer can make is picking a camera, and with all the different kinds out there, everyone has options. You can look up reviews, talk shop with colleagues, and take your time in the very subjective process of picking out the best camera for yourself and your needs. But what about building the best camera for yourself? I grew up in a very poor household in rural Louisiana, where buying something new was a rare occurrence and hiring a repairman for the house or car was out of the question. Most things we owned were homemade and maintained by...

A Post By: Peter West Carey In an industry known for getting what you pay for, I am always skeptical of cheap, new solutions where only expensive ones existed previously. But curiosity got the better of me before a trip last year to Barbados when I wanted to take photos of turtles underwater, but lacked funds for a $3000 underwater housing for my DSLR. That’s when I dropped $60 on a housing and prayed it would not kill my Canon 7D. The housing I chose is from a company you probably have never heard of – Dicapac USA. They have a few models for different sized cameras and mine is the WP-S10...
Much of the talk on the internet since the launch of the D750 has been about flare, or rather the appearance of dark bands when bright light sources are just outside of the frame. Not all units are affected, and it wasn’t an issue during our in-depth testing of the D750 late last year, but following Nikon’s decision to service cameras that are affected by flare, we’ve consolidated our work on the problem into an additional page in our previously-published review. In this new page, we’ve compared the much-discussed flare effect in a pair of D750s...

So you want to be on a book cover. Perhaps you’ve seen other photographers accomplish this but you’ve never quite known how. Maybe you walk through the stores scrutinizing and studying every book. I know I did. It has always been a dream of mine to be on a book cover. Growing up, I was very shy and never had a lot of friends, so instead I read. Getting lost in each character was a comfort. I lived for the smell of the old paper pages. My favorites were used text books and poetry because you could get such an understanding of the previous owner by the writings in the margins. So how...

Back in February 1962, well-known journalist (and hobbyist photographer) Hunter S. Thompson sent a letter to Pop Photo magazine about the value of “snapshooting” and not focusing too much on gear and the technical aspects of photography. His thoughts show that the landscape of the photo world half a century ago may not have been too different from what we see today. Spotted recently by American Photo magazine, the letter can be found in Thompson’s book “The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967“.

Ever wonder what happens to subway cars after they’re decommissioned? For cars owned by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, they’re dropped into the ocean to create artificial coral reefs. Photographer Stephen Mallon documented this dumping for his project “Next Stop Atlantic.” For three years, Mallon traveled to the places where the cars were being discarded — in the Atlantic from the coast of Delaware to South Carolina. “Seeing these massive mechanisms being tossed into the ocean like a toy in the bathtub is a ping in my heart,” Mallon writes. “At first I was stunned, the moments of...
![Kenneth Cole Lifted One of My Photos, And All I Got Was a $500 Gift Card]()
The year was 2008. I was still a novice with a camera, and the basics of photography were still very unfamiliar to me. I knew what my eyes liked, even if I didn’t understand how to get the camera to capture it. On March 1 of 2008, I snapped a photo looking north on 5th Avenue in New York City. At the time, I didn’t have a Tumblr page to share my photos, and I didn’t have Flickr, either. The only place my photos lived was on my computer’s hard drive, and occasionally it would show up in a Facebook post to my friends. There was one other place, though. I had started uploading some of my...

Here’s a tutorial that will teach you how to photograph and process one of the most colorful parts of the night sky, the Orion constellation. It will walk you through all the steps of planning, shooting, and processing a photograph of Orion and the colorful features in it. Introduction The best time of year to capture the brightest part of the sky is typically in June or July when the galactic center appears high in the sky almost the entire night. But every year, as we near the December solstice, the Earth moves into a position around the Sun where the Sun obscures our view of our...
![The Clone Photography of Daisuke Takakura]()
Japanese photographer Daisuke Takakura takes clone photography pretty seriously. His project “Monodramatic” features some models tens of times, with some of the clones so far away from the camera that they can barely be seen in the distance. Takakura says that the project is his exploration of the idea of “self” and the idea of a person meeting many versions of themselves. His title refers to the type of theater in which one actor is featured through the entire production. In this series, Takakura puts the actor in the frame of a photo and has that person interacting with numerous...
A Post By: Meredith Clark Let me just come right out and say it – I think Pinterest is amazing. Not only is it a wealth of information when it comes to recipes and easy craft projects for my two kids, but it is also an incredible source for both photography instruction and inspiration. As a photographer, I am constantly inspired by the images that I see while browsing the “Photography” category on Pinterest, and I think it can be a really valuable tool in terms of identifying your personal style in photography as well as pushing yourself as a photographer. That said, I think it goes without...
![Belly of the Beast: A Inspiring Profile of Analog Street Photographer Markus Andersen]()
Here’s a nice dose of inspiration: above is a beautiful 16-minute mini-documentary that looks at the work of Sydney-based street photographer Markus Andersen. Titled “Belly of the Beast,” the profile features Andersen talking about his thought process and love for film photography. “I love creating imagery. It’s the most important thing in the world for me,” he says. “It’s not about being well known or famous. It’s about the more successful you become, the more time you have to shoot.” Here is a selection of Andersen’s work: You can find more of his work on his website and on...
![Leica Has Created Two Single Edition M Rangefinders Designed by Elementary School Kids]()
Leica has created two unique M-series rangefinders based on designs by elementary school kids. One is a Leica M (type 240) covered with a rainbow pattern, and the other is a Leica M-E with a dragon and swordsman drawn onto the front of the camera. The single edition cameras were created for a good cause. It all started when Leica handed out 140 blank white paper cameras to the kids at a primary school in Dortmund, Germany. The kids were asked to “unleash their creativity” on the cameras by drawing designs on them. Those paper cameras are now being displayed at Leica’s Leitz Wetzlar...
![Photographer Accidentally Captures Rare Picture of Shark Birth, Almost Trashes It]()
Photographer Attila Bicskos was diving off the coast of the Philippines last year when he spotted a thresher shark swimming by and snapped a photo. He almost tossed the photo away afterward, but it’s a good thing he didn’t: the photo is now the first recorded image showing a thresher shark giving birth. If you look closely at the tail end of the shark, you can see a baby shark emerging from its mother: Bicskos tells the Huffington Post that he originally trashed the photo because he thought the blob under the shark was a jellyfish that had floated in and ruined the shot. “As it was I...
![The Importance of Contracts: Wedding Photog in a Dispute Over Album ‘Cover’ Charge]()
There’s a dispute going on over in Texas that shows the importance of getting your contracts right as a photographer. A pair of Dallas newlyweds are going public with their disagreement with wedding photographer Andrea Polito over an album “cover” charge that Polito is asking for — a charge that doesn’t specifically show up in the contract. Local news station NBC 5 reports that the couple had paid Polito $6,000 to shoot their October 2014 wedding, and expected to receive a “40 page 8.5×12 Storybook Album with up to 80 images,” as stated in the contract. After the wedding, however,...
A Post By: Tim Gilbreath The 50mm prime lens, or as it’s more commonly known, the Nifty Fifty; we all know the name, even inexperienced photographers have likely heard of it. Most of us know it for its outstanding qualities; an inexpensive, quality, prime lens that is in plenty of photographers’ bags around the world, and one of the most popular lenses of all time. What we might NOT think of it as, however, is a lens normally used for landscape photography. The zoom is tight, and doesn’t possess a field of view wide enough to usually be considered proper for this sort of work. But I have....
A Post By: Jim Hamel It seems like virtually all outdoor or landscape photographs suffer from the same illness when they come out of the camera. The symptoms are: An overly bright sky Foreground that is too dark A general lack of color and contrast. Sound familiar? Fortunately, there is a cure for this ailment. Actually, as anyone who has worked with post-processing software for any length of time knows, there are a lot of different cures. But I want to show you a super simple way to fix pictures with these problems. I performed these fixes in Lightroom, but you can also do them on the Adobe...
![Hippo Lunges Out of the Water At a Photo Safari Boat]()
Hippos are huge, but they’re deceptively fast underwater. Photographer Craig Clive Jackson was recently on a photo safari in Botswana when the boat he was sitting in was charged by a gigantic hippopotamus. He caught the whole experience on camera in the video above. Jackson was on a photo safari with Pangolin Photo Safaris in Kasana, Botswana. The tours are on eight-seater boats, and every customer is loaned a Nikon D7000 DSLR and a Sigma 150-500mm lens to shoot with. The group was traveling along the Chobe River on a 3-hour journey when they came across a hippo that turned toward the...

Samsung is rumored to have a new NX500 mirrorless camera up its sleeve. We now have a better idea of what the camera will look and be like thanks to a newly leaked graphic. The image was obtained by Photo Rumors and appears to be a screenshot of a product page on Samsung’s website. It shows a front view of the camera, a list of specs, and reveals that the camera will be offered in black, brown, and white varieties. Photo Rumors writes that the camera will feature a 28-megapixel APS-C sensor, an ISO range of 100-25,600, a D5s image engine, a new hybrid autofocus system with phase...
![Re: If You Don’t Want Your Photos Stolen, Don’t Post Them on the Internet]()
“If you don’t want your photos stolen, don’t post them on the Internet.” This is an argument I have heard over and over again, mostly from people who have never had their work borrowed. Which of course is like saying, “I know you were home, but if you didn’t want your belongings stolen, you shouldn’t have left your door unlocked.” I have never been partial to that argument as there is a whole world of opportunity the Internet has to offer. For every negative word or stolen photo due to posting my photos to social media, I have gotten five fantastic opportunities to further my career...
![31 Rolls of Undeveloped Film from a Soldier in WWII Discovered and Processed]()
Photographer Levi Bettweiser is the man behind the Rescued Film Project, an effort to find and rescue old and undeveloped rolls of film from the far corners of the world. He recently came across one of his biggest finds so far: 31 undeveloped rolls of film shot by a single soldier during World War II. Bettweiser tells us he found the film rolls in late 2014 at an auction in Ohio. About half the rolls were labeled with various location names (i.e. Boston Harbor, Lucky Strike Beach, LaHavre Harbor). “I know nothing about who shot the film or who it belonged to,” he says. Here’s a great...
![Elegant Photos of a Dancer Flinging White Powder]()
Photographer Jeffrey Vanhoutte of Brussels, Belgium was recently tasked with shooting a series of photos for a coffee creamer company. They ended up doing a mixed photo/video shoot with a professional acrobatic dancer flinging puffs of white powder into the air while doing dance moves. Vanhoutte used Broncolor flashes to freeze the particles of powder in midair. “The movement that she did and the powder together, we were all amazed that it was perfect from the start,” he says. The model had to be cleaned off after every five to ten shots due to powder getting all over her. This...

By Phil Hilfiker Carrying forward, naturally your challenge this week will be involving music as well. That could look a few different ways depending on your own situation, what you have access to, and what’s in your area, including: photos of musical instruments (check with stores, they may be willing to lend you one to photograph or find a friend who has one) photos of people actually playing an instrument a rock concert a marching band or parade music...

Flickr’s Most Used Camera Brands Overall. From this view, dominance of the big four brands is clear. Samsung isn’t too far off taking the third slot from Nikon Photo sharing website Flickr has published tables of its members’ most used cameras and brands, in which Apple has overtaken Nikon for the first time. Canon remains the most popular brand used, according to Flickr’s calculations, but in 2014 Apple knocked Nikon into third place, with Samsung moving ahead of Sony to take fourth. The figures are not a totally accurate guide to which cameras...
Canon has released an advisory note informing select PowerShot owners that their cameras might be affected by an issue with poor contact between the battery and battery terminal. If this is present, the user might experience one of a few different problems, including a message telling the user to “charge the battery”. In addition to the charge message, affected users may not be able to turn their camera on at times, or may experience it randomly turning off when in use. Says Canon, this is a rare issue that potentially affects units from six different...
The Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III is a superzoom lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It offers a 28-300mm equivalent range and uses a stepper motor for silent autofocus (including during video recording). Because it does not include any form of image stabilization, we used it on an Olympus camera, specifically the OM-D E-M1, which has 5-axis sensor-based IS. All of the following images are out-of-camera JPEGs except where noted. Skip to the very end of the gallery for examples of the various focal lengths, all of the same scene.

![Photographer Captures Rare Pictures of an Upside-Down Iceberg]()
When you think of icebergs, you probably think of those large white objects you see in movies and pictures. In rare situations, they can also be seen in a different form. When the iceberg gets flipped upside-down, it looks like a giant shiny piece of ice that’s the color of the surrounding water. That’s what photographer Alex Cornell came across last month while sailing through the Drake Passage to Antarctica. After days of staring at ordinary white icebergs, the boat came across an iceberg at Cierva Cove that had just flipped over in the water. Cornell and some others then hopped...

WhiteAlbum is a new app and service that wants to bring the fun of disposable camera photography to the world of smartphones. It’s a camera app that doesn’t let you review your photographs until they show up at your door in the form of prints. “No edits. No retakes. No, seriously,” the website says. “Beautifully printed photos in your hand. Not digital images in your feed.” Here’s how it works: you use the special WhiteAlbum camera app to shoot 24 photographs. The only controls you’ll have are turning flash on and off and toggling between square and circle formats. As with film...
![The World’s Largest and Most Powerful Camera Gets Funding for 3.2-Gigapixel Sky Photos]()
The world’s largest camera is now one step closer to becoming a reality. The 3.2-gigapixel camera being built for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) in Chile has secured the funding it needs to ensure it will go into operation according to schedule. We first reported on the camera back in 2011 when the project received a green light from the US government to move forward. The latest green light has to do with the project’s funding. “This important decision endorses the camera fabrication budget that we proposed,” said LSST Director Steven Kahn. “[…] it is now clear that LSST...
![The First Leaked Photos of the Olympus E-M5II]()
The first leaked photos have emerged showing the upcoming Olympus E-M5II. The camera is a followup to the popular Olympus E-M5, a camera announced back in 2012 that shook up the camera world with its retro styling. The leaked photos first appeared over at Digicam-info and show that Olympus is sticking with a very similar design in the new camera. Here’s a look at what the original looks like: It looks like Olympus is making the camera sleeker and even more “retro” by using chrome dials, wheels, and buttons instead of black ones. Here’s the top of the new camera: …compared to the...

Ten years ago, on January 14, 2005, NASA landed its Huygens probe onto the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. To commemorate the event, NASA released the above video that takes us on a 1,000,000,000x journey from a zoomed out photo of Saturn and the moon and into the closest photos captured by Huygens. The wide view photos were captured by the Cassini orbiter using its 1-megapixel onboard camera: As the view zooms in, we move onto photographs captured by the Huygen’s probe during its 21-day journey, 2.5-hour descent, and successful landing. Here’s the first view of Titan that...
A Post By: Felipe Passolas Photography is visual communication medium. You can follow and use some rules, through composition and technique – but photojournalism takes it a step farther and states facts and gives information that is true and real. You need to follow two basic pillars to be an ethical photojournalist. Those principles are: you do not manipulate your scene, and the information you are photographing must be real. The best recipe you can use for getting a good photo that tells a story is by combining good composition, action, and emotions. If you are able to engage with your...
A Post By: Sarah Hipwell Nikon D750 When Nikon made their announcement just prior to Photokina in September of this year (2014) that they were launching the D750, my interest piqued, especially as the specs on paper were ticking all my requirement boxes.

Over the following months, I will give this camera a thorough workout. In the meantime, this article will outline my first impressions and why I chose this particular camera. ‘Mirror mirror on the...
Olympus has released v2.0 firmware for its OM-D styled premium compact camera, the Stylus 1, which will enable users to fit a wide angle converter to the lens. Using the new CLA-14 adapter the camera will now operate with the 0.8x WCON-08X wide angle converter to take the widest setting from 28mm equiv. to 22.4mm while maintaining the f/2.8 maximum aperture. This, combined with the CLA-13 adapter and the 1.7x TCON-17X tele-converter, gives the Stylus 1 a potential focal range of 22.4-510mm equiv. from its 28-300mm equiv. lens. The firmware also introduces a stepped zoom...
The National Gallery of Art owns the world’s largest collection of photos and materials by renowned American photographer Robert Frank. That collection is also the museum’s largest holding of any single photographer. Late last year, to celebrate Frank’s 90th birthday, the collection was opened up in a new way through the launch of an online repository. You can now browse through the 8,000 or so items held by the museum — some of which had never before seen the light of day. The digital initiative is a comprehensive effort to list, organize, and contextualize the items in the museum’s...
If you’re ever in a situation in which you need to understand some text in a foreign language, getting a translation is now as free and easy as loading up your phone’s camera app. Google has updated its Translate app to include real-time on-screen translations of text you point your camera at. Here’s an animated GIF showing how the system works: The app is pretty much a 100% free version of Word Lens, an app that blew many a mind when it was launched back in 2010.

Here’s a strange (and time-consuming) way you can test your Photoshop prowess if you ever have some time to kill: turn a dimpled golf ball into a smooth ping pong ball using only the dodge and burn tools. Photographer Stefan Kohler came up with the challenge one day when talking about the power of dodging and burning in retouching blemishes. He then tried his own hand at it, and spent over three hours dodging and burning a golf ball. “After about 10 minutes I realized: This is not going to be easy,” he says. Here’s what the golf ball looked like before the retouching: …and here’s what...

A Post By: Sime I’ve been using studio lights for a couple of years now, I’ve used a few different brands with all sorts of different modifiers, from the basic softboxes that your less expensive lighting kits might come with, to my current favourite, the 2 meter Octa from Studio-Flash.com. The one consistency with bundled lighting kits is that they mostly all come with a set of lightweight stands that, for the most part, are great and will certainly do what you need them to do when you’re starting out and they’ll get you a long way with clever use of sandbags and counterweights. But when you...
Basic Portrait Processing in Lightroom

A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Over the past few years I have learned a great deal about doing portraits, especially of young kids. I think it’s because I get so much enjoyment out of these types of shoots that I end up doing them more, though at some point it hardly seems fair because I wonder if I’m having more fun than the children whose pictures I am taking. While each session is unique, I have developed my own style (which, in many ways, will always be a work in progress as I continue to learn new things) when it comes to both the shooting and editing process, and I thought it might help...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Last week we looked at magical images of music, this week let’s explore the world of dance! Dancers have a lot of passion and determination. It takes a lot of work and practice to be a good dancer, even more to be great. Hmm, sound familiar? Just like anything – the more you do it, the better chance you have of improvement. I’ve always silently envied dancers. They move with such grace, flow, elegance. Not to mention how fit and strong they always look. Photography of dancers is the same – when done well! This set of images of dancers spoke to me on both levels...
Sigma promises firmware fix for Pentax mount 17-70mm f/2.8-4 lens

Sigma has acknowledged that Pentax users are suffering from blurred images when the company’s 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro HSM Contemporary lens is used on Pentax DSLR bodies with in-camera image stabilization activated. To rectify the issue, the lens manufacturer has promised a firmware update for the lens, but it hasn’t specified when it will be released. Owners of the Sigma USB Dock will be able to update the firmware themselves via Sigma Optimization Pro 1.2, but those without the dock will need to take their lens to an authorized distributor. The problem seems to be a...

Valid point. I don’t own any of the specific items listed to vote for, and I can only go by the reviews, or comments by those who own them, and item specifications. But, based on such reviews, comments, and specifications, is how I make many of the decisions of whether I will most likely seriously consider buying that item, if I’m in the market for such an item. So I’m not sure if you can call it a popularity contest, but more of what a person would subjectively purchase based on a combination of those specifications, reviews, and facts out there that fits their needs....

Tips for Better Composition of Seascape Photographs
Posted by Chris Roubis on 23rd, Jan, 2015 |
no responses
A Post By: Francesco Gola I do not believe that in photography there are absolute rules of composition, but it is undeniable that certain compositions work better than others. Why? Probably because our brain is the result of millions of years of evolution, and as in two dots and a line we recognize a face (you don’t believe me? Have a look here.), in the same way we recognize some images as more pleasant to look at than others. So let’s look at a few tricks to keep in mind during your next visit to the seaside. Start following rules Before trying to break rules, try to follow them. Start...
A Beginner’s Guide to Working With Flash Off-Camera

A Post By: Gina Milicia I spent the first three years of my photography career avoiding the use of speedlights off-camera because I couldn’t wrap my head around the concepts and science behind them. I tried to cover it up saying things like “I’m a natural light photographer.” or “I really don’t like the aesthetics of flash photography.” But then, I reluctantly invested in a flash for my first Nikon. This was the 90s, pre-digital, pre-autofocus, and pre-TTL. I had to calculate how much flash to use via a chart on the top of the flash. The formula was complicated, but if you knew how to split...

The Sidekick is designed to attach directly to the GoPro’s existing mount, eliminating the need to tote around an external light, though it retains some flexibility via an optional armature for positioning the light. Sidekick is a rectangular companion light that provides a wide 600 lumen beam, while a secondary model, the Sidekick Duo, also offers a 400 lumen spot beam intended for navigation purposes.

8 Quotes From Master Photographer Ansel Adams and How You to Apply Them to Your Photography

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich The technology of photography has been evolving at a very rapid rate. Most of our cameras are almost obsolete by the time we purchase them! But one thing about photography hasn’t changed over the years and that is the art of photography. We can learn so much about the that from the masters of yester-years. Ansel Adams was one of these great masters, best known for his iconic black and white images of the American West. Let’s review some quotes from Mr. Adams and consider how we might apply them to modern day photography. This image by Bruce Wunderlich was part of...
How to Crop Like a Boss in Photoshop

With Photoshop’s latest crop tool this has never been easier, so let me show you how to crop like a boss! Step 1 – Load the Crop Tool in Photoshop With your image open in Photoshop, press the ‘C’ button on your keyboard. This loads the crop tool; you’ll know this by the...

Nikon D750 flare investigated: Why we’re not worried
Posted by Chris Roubis on 22nd, Jan, 2015 |
no responses
Sorry, it’s bad news…period. This “recall” is an expensive exercise, no matter how anyone tries to spin it. They are paying for shipping both ways for my D750. Also for the inspection, adjustment/repair, calibration and testing. Plus the stock swap of the entire retail distribution channel. This significantly erodes if not completely eradicates an already thin profit margin on the body. Nikon, like most if not all manufacturers, makes more money on lenses and accessories. Problem for Nikon et al., in my opinion, is alternatives such as Sigma/Tamron, stealing a good...

A Post By: Peter West Carey In an industry known for getting what you pay for, I am always skeptical of cheap, new solutions where only expensive ones existed previously. But curiosity got the better of me before a trip last year to Barbados when I wanted to take photos of turtles underwater, but lacked funds for a $3000 underwater housing for my DSLR. That’s when I dropped $60 on a housing and prayed it would not kill my Canon 7D. The housing I chose is from a company you probably have never heard of – Dicapac USA. They have a few models for different sized cameras and mine is the WP-S10...

Not all units are affected, and it wasn’t an issue during our in-depth testing of the D750 late last year, but following Nikon’s decision to service cameras that are affected by flare, we’ve consolidated our work on the problem into an additional page in our previously-published review. In this new page, we’ve compared the much-discussed flare effect in a pair of D750s...

A Post By: Suzi Pratt If the idea of incorporating flash into your photography work strikes fear in your heart, this is a must read article for you! The ability to use a portable electronic flash can do wonders for your work by giving you more creative options, and the truth is you don’t need a ton of fancy equipment to begin utilizing flash. In fact, this article is focused purely on the speedlight, the Canon 580 EXII Speedlite to be exact (equivalent to the Nikon SB-900), and how you can get started experimenting with lighting effects using just one speedlight.

People like to occasionally have photos of themselves in them. In the past, you had to hand the camera over to someone else to take the photo for you, or stick your camera on a tripod. “Selfie” simply means that you can now do it all on your own, and without a tripod. Having a photo of you and your friends in it is not a “craze”. People have been doing it since the beginning of photography. Technology has simply enabled us to do it more easily.

Panasonic reveals Lumix DMC-GF7 with tilting LCD

Panasonic has taken the wraps off the Lumix DMC-GF7, a retro-styled 16MP mirrorless camera with a 180-degree upward-tilting screen ready for – you guessed it – selfies. Internally, it shares much of the GM1/GM5’s components including built-in Wi-Fi with NFC and a sensor it also shares with the Lumix GX7 offering 1080/60p HD video. It also provides a built-in pop-up flash and a 1.04M dot 3″ touch screen, though lacks a built-in electronic viewfinder. The GF7 will be sold for $599 with the 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 collapsible kit zoom and is expected to...

@stevo, I think if someone is happy enough with his system, we should not give him GAS :)) I like these two lenses a lot 55/1.8 (specially at f/2.8 and beyond) and 16-35/4 on sony A FE. Not overly impressed about other as such, as much. But 55/1.8 is quite an expensive lens to buy roughly 700£ on amazon.uk. Compare it with Fuji on similar “angle of view” 50mm equivalent i.e. XF 35/1.4 is roughly 400£ and with fuji promo its 300£. IQ was its a great lens too, you can’t complain about it on any thing.

What we might NOT think of it as, however, is a lens normally used for landscape photography.

The Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III is a superzoom lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It offers a 28-300mm equivalent range and uses a stepper motor for silent autofocus (including during video recording). Because it does not include any form of image stabilization, we used it on an Olympus camera, specifically the OM-D E-M1, which has 5-axis sensor-based IS. All of the following images are out-of-camera JPEGs except where noted. Skip to the very end of the gallery for examples of the various focal lengths, all of the same scene.

A Post By: Felipe Passolas Photography is visual communication medium. You can follow and use some rules, through composition and technique – but photojournalism takes it a step farther and states facts and gives information that is true and real. You need to follow two basic pillars to be an ethical photojournalist. Those principles are: you do not manipulate your scene, and the information you are photographing must be real. The best recipe you can use for getting a good photo that tells a story is by combining good composition, action, and emotions. If you are able to engage with your...

A Post By: Sarah Hipwell Nikon D750 When Nikon made their announcement just prior to Photokina in September of this year (2014) that they were launching the D750, my interest piqued, especially as the specs on paper were ticking all my requirement boxes. The price looked good too! I have had the Nikon D750 a little over two months now, but have yet to put this camera through any serious testing. Over the following months, I will give this camera a thorough workout. In the meantime, this article will outline my first impressions and why I chose this particular camera. ‘Mirror mirror on the...
Olympus Stylus 1 firmware update adds wide angle converter compatibility and interval shooting
Posted by Chris Roubis on 16th, Jan, 2015 |

Olympus has released v2.0 firmware for its OM-D styled premium compact camera, the Stylus 1, which will enable users to fit a wide angle converter to the lens. Using the new CLA-14 adapter the camera will now operate with the 0.8x WCON-08X wide angle converter to take the widest setting from 28mm equiv. to 22.4mm while maintaining the f/2.8 maximum aperture. This, combined with the CLA-13 adapter and the 1.7x TCON-17X tele-converter, gives the Stylus 1 a potential focal range of 22.4-510mm equiv. from its 28-300mm equiv. lens. The firmware also introduces a stepped zoom...
Budget X: Hands-on with Fujifilm’s new X-A2

So for the price of an entry level dSLR lens kit, you can get this very fine looking camera, with a compact body, flip-out LCD, and two control dials while giving up nothing on the image quality side. No viewfinder? For a lot of people: no problem, apparently. I’ve seen a lot of X-A1 and M1 out and about recently.

Nikon USA addresses disappearance of D750 from retailers
Posted by Chris Roubis on 16th, Jan, 2015 |

@String – While my research did not lead to the quote you attributed to Thom (Hogan, I assume) I will take your word for it. However, since I did not experience the “alleged flare” issue, and not all users reported, nor perhaps 50% of users reported the Flare issue, why would Nikon do a knee-jerk reaction? It seems to me that Nikon perhaps gathered then analyzed the data and acted accordingly. Since I do NOT own a D750, I don’t know what steps Nikon took WITH those who bought and registered D750. As a Nikon owner since early 1960s, I was somewhat skeptical of...

The National Gallery of Art owns the world’s largest collection of photos and materials by renowned American photographer Robert Frank. That collection is also the museum’s largest holding of any single photographer. Late last year, to celebrate Frank’s 90th birthday, the collection was opened up in a new way through the launch of an online repository. You can now browse through the 8,000 or so items held by the museum — some of which had never before seen the light of day. The digital initiative is a comprehensive effort to list, organize, and contextualize the items in the museum’s...

If you’re ever in a situation in which you need to understand some text in a foreign language, getting a translation is now as free and easy as loading up your phone’s camera app. Google has updated its Translate app to include real-time on-screen translations of text you point your camera at. Here’s an animated GIF showing how the system works: The app is pretty much a 100% free version of Word Lens, an app that blew many a mind when it was launched back in 2010. You don’t even need any kind of Internet connection for it to work. “[…] it’s way easier to navigate street signs in the...

Photoshop Exercise: Turn a Golf Ball into a Ping Pong Ball Using Only Dodging and Burning

Here’s a strange (and time-consuming) way you can test your Photoshop prowess if you ever have some time to kill: turn a dimpled golf ball into a smooth ping pong ball using only the dodge and burn tools. Photographer Stefan Kohler came up with the challenge one day when talking about the power of dodging and burning in retouching blemishes. He then tried his own hand at it, and spent over three hours dodging and burning a golf ball. “After about 10 minutes I realized: This is not going to be easy,” he says. Here’s what the golf ball looked like before the retouching: …and here’s what...

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.
