A Post By: James Maher As you enter the field of professional photography, there is one thing that will become immediately clear. One of your biggest obstacles will be fear. You will worry that you are not prepared for a job, that you are not experienced enough, that something will go wrong, or that they will not like your images. Business Portrait. Each photography job will have a different makeup and you should create a game plan going in. This is normal and I have bad news for you; the fear will never fully go away. It will get easier however, and you will become better at pushing...
A Post By: Melinda Smith 1. You Need to Document That You Were There I get it, I do. You’re the one behind the camera. You’re the one taking the photo of that adorable little smile. You’re the one documenting that you spent a day at the park together. Someone’s got to do it, right? Sometimes you have to get on the other side of the camera, and let someone else be the photographer for a minute. Even if you weren’t planning on being in photos that day, just do it. It doesn’t matter if your hair is perfect. It doesn’t matter if you wore the most flattering outfit. It doesn’t matter if you meant...
Olympus has announced the Japan-only release of the Stylus 1s, a successor to its Stylus 1 enthusiast compact camera and one of our favorite cameras in that category. Maintaining almost all of the same hardware as the Stylus 1, the Stylus 1s offers an OM-D based design with a fixed lens. The latest Stylus 1s brings minor software improvements to the table, debuting a year after its predecessor was launched. There is currently no word of the Stylus 1s being announced outside of Japan. The Olympus Stylus 1s offers mainly software updates, while using almost all of the...
DxO has taken the wraps off its OpticsPro 10, the latest software version that brings with it, among other things, DxO ClearView for correcting atmospheric haze. Joining the ClearView feature are some improvements to the software, not the least of which is enhanced noise reduction promised to trump competing products, as well as interface changes. The ClearView function aims to eliminate both haze and smog from photos of urban and landscape settings, doing so using a new algorithm that looks at every pixel’s color components and tweaks contrast levels as necessary....
Luxury goods brand Brikk has released the price of its forthcoming ‘Lux Nikon kit’ that has been finished in its trademark yellow gold and which will be on sale this month. Set to cost $41,395, the kit will include a gold plated Nikon Df body, a Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens with gold plated lens cap and lens hood, together with the usual charger, cables and software, and will come in a specially made gold plated Zero Haliburton hard case. Brikk says it will produce a limited edition of only 77 of these kits, the inspiration for which came from Nikon’s own gold...
Sony has introduced a new line of XQD format version 2 memory cards, the G Series. As with other XQD cards, the G Series promises fast read and write speeds that are able to match the demanding needs of select cameras, such as the Nikon D4 and D4s. In turn, Nikon has announced that the D4s will fully support Sony’s version 2 XQD cards, with improved write speeds and Raw buffer capacities. With previous XQD cards the D4s could capture 133 12-bit NEF files before filling the buffer. With the G series cards the buffer capacity is increased to 200 shots. The G Series...
Autumn is well underway here in the United States, so what better way to honor the colorful season than to share with you a post-production walkthrough by Serge Ramelli that will show you how to make your seasonal snapshots ‘pop’ with color. The key to making the most of your autumn photos, says Remelli, is to edit the photograph locally, not with global settings. By using the various methods of localized editing present in Lightroom, Remelli uses the Hue and Saturation sliders to subtly bring to life the colors of the trees and sky in his example image. It’s a pretty basic tutorial...
Just over a month ago we shared with you Vizzywig 4K, an app that gives your iPhone 5S 4K video recording abilities… at a price. A price of $1000 to be exact. However, it looks as though i4software, the company behind Vizzywig has had a change of heart: you can now pick up the app for only $50, or 95% off the original price. For a recap of what the app does, it allows you to capture 4K video footage on your iPhone 5S or newer by capturing 4K resolution photographs (a little less than 9 megapixels) at a rate of 24 photos per second. As your phone is snapping away, the app...

A Post By: Lori Peterson It’s the most wonderful time of the year! For some people that is Christmas, but for other’s it means that it’s time for the goblins and ghosts and all of the scary creatures to come out of hiding and find their way into our everyday lives. Theme parks have Halloween themed nights, scary movies are on television, haunted house tours start having people waiting in line and of course, it’s time for photographers to break out of their everyday subjects and come up with something dark and sinister to shoot. Here are some tips to help you when you are preparing to shoot...
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Sometimes the most interesting things to photograph are right under your nose, even though you might have to look a little harder to see them. Bugs, insects, and other creepy crawlies might not seem like compelling subjects, but if you take a bit of time to examine the smaller creatures who inhabit the world around us, you might not only come away with new and exciting photographic opportunities but a renewed sense of wonder and admiration for the beauty of creation. If you have never tried this type of photography before, you can get started right away without any...

A notebook containing recorded details of plates shot by explorer George Murray Levick during Captain Scott’s final expedition has been found and pieced back together by the Antarctic Heritage Trust of New Zealand. Discovered during summer months in melted snow outside the hut that was Scott’s base in 1911 during the British Antarctic Expedition, the notebook is said to contain pencil-written details of ‘the dates, subjects and exposure details for the photographs he took during 1911 while at Cape Adare’ with some of the notes relating to images known...
Mylio, a subscription-based photo organization and storage program, is making a debut at this year’s PhotoPlus Expo in new York. Created by MyLO, a Bellevue, Washington-based company, Mylio offers cross-device access to a user’s collection of photos, without them having to change their storage structure. The software makes photos available for viewing and editing on a desktop, laptop, phone or mobile device, with edits synced between devices, and original files backed up in several places in an effort to keep them safe. Mylio offers three subscription plans:...
Today I want to share how I created a few huge, Gigapixel photos, using a DIY panoramic head. Actually, it is not a panoramic head, because it not only goes right and left, but also up and down. I’ve been a big fan of panoramic photography and of landscape in general for a long time. But four years ago I was climbing a mountain and the view from the top simply took my breath away. I felt an urgent need to share the image with people who don’t climb and therefore will never get access to such views. Here is the thing though, standard photos do not have enough details. Our eyes have far...
There’s a rule of thumb when it comes to viral dog photography: what’s cute with dogs is going to be twice as cute when you shrink your subjects down to puppies. Photographer Seth Casteel did it with Underwater Dogs and the sequel Underwater Puppies, and we are very happy to inform you that animal photographer Carli Davidson recently decided to take her viral SHAKE photos of dogs and create the photo series and book SHAKE Puppies. These younger portraits actually came about thanks to a suggestion by the best possible team of photo connoisseurs you could have critiquing your work:...
Microsoft has an announcement that will undoubtedly shake up the file storage industry: the company is offering unlimited cloud storage on OneDrive to anyone who subscribes to their Office 365 service. The announcement was made yesterday over on the OneDrive blog. Both home and business customers will have unlimited storage at no addition cost beyond their subscription payment. Office 365 Home starts at $10 per month in the US for access to Office applications, and OneDrive ordinarily costs $7 per month for 1 terabyte of storage. Now customers will be able to pay $10 for the Office...
With a death toll estimated somewhere between 600k and 750k, the American Civil War was without a doubt the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history. But even the soldiers who made it out alive didn’t always do so without sustaining serious injuries. On its Flickr page, the US National Library of Medicine has shared a handful of portraits that depict the war-torn bodies of soldiers who fought through the war. According to the US National Library of Medicine, roughly 3/4th of all surgeries performed during the Civil War were amputations. From missing fingers and hands to completely amputated...
A Post By: John Davenport The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 APS-C sensor lens is without a doubt my favorite lens in my camera bag and it also has some great reviews throughout the photography community. But is this lens for you? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Ultimately, what kind of photographs can you take with it? Who is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for? On the surface this wide angle crop sensor lens is going to appeal to just about any landscape photographer using an APS-C sensor DSLR and particularly those who are on tighter budgets, as it can be found (at the time of this writing) for...
A Post By: Katie McEnaney Long, swirling star trail photography is on the bucket list of many photographers. In the film days, this required leaving your shutter open for one continuous exposure on the order of hours and hoping that everything would turn out just right. In the digital era, many photographers rely on a process known as stacking to take a large number of individual frames and combine them into the final image. This article will lay out how to capture incredible star trail photographs and combine them using the free program StarStaX. Shooting Your Individual Star Trails...

![Finding the Balance: Capturing Memories Versus Making Memories]()
A Post By: Meredith Clark I am more than a little obsessed with capturing and preserving memories for my family. We have a photo wall that’s regularly updated. We print photo books, both from Instagram and of photos from my “real” camera. My girls know that twice a year, we go out to a field nearby our house, and I do a mini photo session with them. I’m the type of person who easily had 5,000 photos in the first year after my daughter was born, and that’s just what I decided to keep. So whenever I see a mom taking photos of her kids at the park, or a dad taking pictures at his son’s soccer...
Microsoft has announced that all users subscribed to Office 365 will begin to see their OneDrive cloud storage upgraded to unlimited space for no additional cost. The new change will begin rolling out over the next few months to subscribers of the Home, Personal, and University editions, but you can get to the front of the line at Microsoft’s preview site. Users subscribed to Office 365 Business edition will begin to receive the update in early 2015, but in the meantime can still take advantage of the current 1 TB storage level offered.

If you’ve been dreaming of making photography your full-time occupation, photographer Scott Robert Lim has some no-nonsense, sugar-free advice on what it takes to become, not just a better photographer, but a great photographer who can compete in the landscape today. The video above, a snippet from a CreativeLive course on lighting that Lim gave, is called Go Big and Go Home, and it’s a motivational kick in the pants that can just as easily depress you as fire you up — it’s up to you how you want to react to what he has to say. Lim’s delivery isn’t going to appeal to everyone, and...
Between now and January 31st of 2015, those interested in switching up your post-processing workflow and experimenting with software outside of the Adobe ecosystem have a great incentive to do so: DxO has partnered with Digital Photographer to offer free, no strings attached licenses of DxO Optics Pro 8 to anybody who wants one. Of course, DxO Optics Pro is currently well into Version 9, but if you’ve never played around with the software and you’re not keen on downloading a 31-day free trial of 9, this is a great way to add a piece of software to your workflow free of charge.

When a manufacturer officially discontinues a model, it’s like a teaser trailer for what’s to come. You might have no idea what’s going on, but you know that something new is coming. Well, as of today, both the Sony RX1 and the Canon 6D have been marked as discontinued on different online retailers. Reported originally by Sony Alpha Rumors and Canon Watch, respectively, it seems DigitalRev has the Sony RX1 down as discontinued, while Amazon UK has the 6D listed as “discontinued by manufacturer.” The Sony news comes as no surprise: we’ve been expecting a true replacement to the RX1...
Have you ever noticed how, in every photo of an astronaut using camera gear in the International Space Station, there’s pretty much never a tripod or monopod or special mount in sight? They’re always just handholding this massive camera with a 400mm lens attached. So how, then, can they capture incredibly crisp photos of the Earth when they’re flying above it at 4.8 miles per second? In the video above, iconic Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield shares the fascinating answer. The video was captured by travel photographer Brandon van Son at a media Q&A with Hadfield, and while others...
A Post By: Stephanie Huynh Over the past few days, I’ve thought about what’s helped me become a better photographer over the years. It’s a constant journey, and developing as an artist is a never ending pursuit that extends beyond owning any camera. In addition to practicing as much as possible with your camera, here are 10 tips to share that you may wish to consider while you continue on your own path in photography to help you grow as an artist. 1. Wait to look at your photos I discovered this piece of advice over time, though a number of other photographers have suggested the same...
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Canon introduced the new 7D Mark II recently to a lot of fan fair and hype. But does it live up to all of that? Some of the things that are really exciting include: 10 frames per second burst rate Extra large buffer to allow shooting 31 RAW files, or 130 full JPGs using burst mode 65 cross-type autofocus points for fast, super accurate autofocus Advanced autofocus menu settings similar to some of the higher end full frame cameras like the 1Dx Low noise and great high ISO levels and performance Built-in GPS Accepts both Compact Flash and SD memory cards Lots of...
Ricoh Imaging added a set of ‘tasty’ new colors to its Pentax K-S1 lineup this past week, but its marketing for the camera appears to be backfiring. Photographers are groaning about a promo for the new camera colors. The ad (shown above) uses a badly Photoshopped stock photo to show off the camera. Here’s what the original promo looked like (click it it see a larger version): What’s bizarre is that the promo makes the camera look extremely small in the woman’s hands — about the size of a small compact camera. The camera is much larger in reality. It makes sense though: the original...
Photography is powerful because we can place ourselves into the perspective of those we see in an image. Whether it’s street photography, photojournalism or portraiture, we use photography to understand ourselves in relation to people around us. Think of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare, Nick Ut’s Napalm Girl or Richard Avedon’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe. These iconic images capture intent, desire, suffering, pain, ambivalence, and invoke our ability to identify with those in the frame. Napalm Girl by Nick Ut (left) and Marilyn Monroe by Richard Avedon (right) Our...
Dacuda, a company known for its camera-related applications, is getting ready to release 3DAround, an intuitive 360-degree interactive photo capturing app. Designed with simplicity in mind, 3DAround uses a clever interface to help direct you as to how to capture objects with minimal ‘scanning’ of your smartphone’s camera. Up until now, this sort of capability has been difficult to implement, as developers didn’t have a great deal of control over the camera. But with the introduction of iOS 8 and its included Camera APIs, Dacuda was more easily able to gain access to tools needed for...
A Post By: Jon Haase Underwater photography is so much fun that it will take you to the farthest reaches of the world, inspire you to buy thousands of dollars of dive gear, and thousands of dollars more worth of underwater photography gear. It can also make you want to throw your underwater camera rig against the side of the dive boat, then into the water, then dive down and get it just so you can throw it to the bottom again. Spending six hours of planning and preparation just to find out the water is murky or that the fish aren’t there, or that the manta rays aren’t at their feeding...
A Post By: John Davenport Topaz Labs recently released a new standalone image processor called Topaz Impression and I wanted to show you how it works and the kinds of things you can create with it. However, I should make it very clear up front, that this is not a standard keep it real kind of image processor, so if you cringe at the thought of image manipulation you may want to turn away now. What is Topaz Impression? On the surface Topaz Impression is a digital image processor which allows you to take any photograph and convert it into something that resembles painted or drawn art. If this...
Shots: they’re a staple of college life, avoided like the plague in other stages of life, and have even been the subject of a song or two. And whether it’s a warm rush of Fireball or the licorice flavor of Jägermeister, shots inevitably leave their consumers with an interesting reaction. It’s this reaction that gave photographer Tim Charles the idea for a clever little photo series that captures the expressions on people’s faces as they down a shot glass full o’ booze. Charles came up with the idea for Shot Face while out on the town with his girlfriend one weekend night. The...
There are a lot of debates in the world of photography: Nikon Vs. Canon, DSLR Vs. Mirrorless and Full-Frame Vs. Everything Else just to name a few. But one of the battles that doesn’t get as much air time probably has more impact on your images than any of the previous three. We’re talking about The Rule of Thirds Vs. The Golden Ratio. In the video above, Tara from DNews dives into this compositional war of grids, explaining what each rule is, where they come from, and how they differ from one another. Of course, as we all know, the more advanced a photographer gets the less likely...
Pixelmator has long been around on the desktop, finding its niche as a much more affordable (albeit less-polished) version of Adobe Photoshop. But starting this week, its life as a desktop-only app is over. Now, Pixelmator has officially arrived on the iPad as well. The app, which features a non-destructive workflow, was first introduced last week when Apple showed off its newest iPad offerings. The app was built from scratch and specifically designed to utilize the hardware in iPads to ensure every bit of processing power can be pulled out of the devices. What is most interesting...
Noted Nigerian photographer Chief S.O. Alonge was the very first indigenous photographer of the Royal Court of Benin in Nigeria, and for some five decades, he captured thousands of Kodak glass-plate negatives of the ritual, pageantry and regalia of the Nigerian obas (kings), their wives and retainers. Now, these rarely seen images and the fascinating world they preserved are being pulled out of the archives of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American Art and shown to the world once more. The exhibit, which began last month and will run for a full year, uses Alonge’s...
This little device is the 360fly: a waterproof WiFi and Bluetooth-equipped action camera with an optical claim to fame. You see, its 360º horizontal and 240 degree vertical fisheye lens is, according to creators EyeSee360, the widest on the market. The camera is waterproof up to approximately 16 feet, comes with 16GB of internal memory, an f/2.5 lens, an integrate mic and a 1,504 x 1,504 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor. It holds its charge for two hours of use and comes in at a measly 0.3lbs. And because it uses a single lens and sensor, the action camera eliminates the need to stitch together...

This is the week of all the spooks and goblins so I though it would be fitting to see some scary images too. What do you consider spooky or creepy?

Whatever it is, it’s your turn to photograph it and show me something that will make me have the chills. Let’s see some examples: By Delta By Hartwig HKD By Kevin Dooley By Alice Popkorn By Jesse Draper By...

Artist Fabian Oefner‘s project Millefiori is, like most of the projects we’ve ever shared by him, a mixture of science and art. By combining vibrant watercolors with a magnetic solution called ferrofluid, he was able to create these gorgeous macro photographs of the paint and ferrofluid interacting on top of a magnet. According to Oefner’s description, these images come about because, when you put ferrofluid in a magnetic field, the iron particles in the solution start to rearrange to form these little black channels you see. And as he injects more and different watercolors onto the...
Here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of a New York Times staff photographer. The behind-the-scenes video above follows 64-year-old photographer Ozier Muhammad as he covers the People’s Climate March in New York City last month for the Times with a Canon DSLR and a pair of Leica M rangefinders. We see Muhammad weave walk through the event, hunting for shots that capture the essence of what is unfolding. It’s not always easy. “What I usually do when I arrive to a scene and the picture isn’t readily available to me,” he says. “I keep my fingers crossed and try to keep my eyes wide...
Scientists are all about recording data, facts and other information meticulously so that others can replicate their experiments. But, sometimes, even scientists can slip up. That, it seems, is what happened with the photography archive at CERN. As the folks at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) began digitizing their archive of roughly 120,000 photographs taken between 1955 and 1985, they realized that a number of the images are lacking any sort of information. This is making it all but impossible to identify the scientists, equipment and projects they’re working...
While browsing around on Google Maps satellite view (as many of us have done at some point or another) art director Yousuke Ozawa came across a number of buildings that resembled various letters of the alphabet. Realizing the potential of this find, he spent the next week digitally flying across the globe and curating what ended up being Satellite Fonts, a collection of all 26 letters of the alphabet as formed by buildings across the world. The results are impressive, with only a few of the letters that might be considered difficult to discern when taken out of context. But for the...
Nikon’s newly-announced D750 has impressed those who have managed to get their hands on it thus far, but to properly put it through its paces, DxOMark ran it through its trusted sensor tests. As expected, it came out with quite high marks, putting it in 8th place on DxOMark’s overall rankings and making it the 6th Nikon camera to make it into the top 10. The new 24.3-megapixel sensor inside the D750 performed well, if inconsistently. DxOMark says the performance varied quite a bit throughout the tests, but overall, the three scores come across as ‘excellent,’ with Dynamic Range being...

Gina has a new dPS ebook just released – Portraits: After the Shot – check out out! The style of side lighting (in the image below) is a great way to enhance muscle definition, and the post-production technique complements the lighting style. You can see that it appears as if Nathan has far better muscle definition in his after shot. I love using this post-production technique in character portraits for the entertainment industry, advertising and...
A Post By: Suzi Pratt Company parties. Special galas. Nonprofit fundraisers. When someone asks you to shoot one of these events, you aren’t exactly leaping for joy, right? Corporate event photography can get a bad reputation among creatives, mostly because it sounds like an unglamorous style of photography. While it is true that many aspects of corporate event photos can be very rote, these events actually a huge advantage that can lead to even more creative expression. Here’s why: There is almost always a set structure and schedule to corporate events that rarely deviates, meaning it is...
It’s not uncommon for a company to patent technologies that might be incorporated into products at some point, though the company might not have any plans to use it in the immediate future. Such a business move appears to be the case with a recent Canon patent, which details the use of variable lens elements in combination with traditional glass elements. Including a variable lens such as a liquid element potentially allows for smaller zoom lenses, and lenses that maintain the same overall length as they’re zoomed. The patent includes designs for a variety of lenses, from a...
Panasonic recently collaborated with German design firm WertelOberfell in creating a series of case designs for the Lumix DMC-GM1 mirrorless camera. The cases were created with a 3D printer and were inspired by three “design epochs.” The three resulting cases were crafted with copper and nickel, and are titled, “Roots,” “Interference,” and “Weave.” Roots Interference Weave Exhibited at Photokina 2014, these looks are currently concept designs that aren’t set to appear in any consumer camera. However, the purpose was to show what could be possible with aesthetics when it comes to...
A strange story from over in Florida: the Tampa Bay Times reports that back in August, a 23-year-old man named Andrew Noll (picture above at right) was shot by his former lover. When the home’s alarm went off and she heard someone coming up the stairs, she grabbed a 9mm Ruger. When the door opened, she fired. A bullet sliced through Noll’s chest and exited his back, piercing a painting on the wall behind him. […] As he lay bleeding, Noll raised the phone and snapped a selfie. Now that’s one “decisive moment” that resulted from some very strange priorities… (via Boing Boing)...
This photograph of Chinese President Xi Jinping is more than a snapshot captured in the rain: today it was awarded China’s highest photojournalism prize, the National News Award. The award is known as China’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. The announcement was made today by China’s state media group, which tweeted that the “Photo of President Xi on a site inspection in Wuhan on a rainy day last year won the China top journalism award.” According to Adam Taylor of the Washington Post, the photograph appears to have been judged primarily based on the subject matter than on technical...
Google has teamed up with the Jane Goodall Institute to bring their Street View Trekker cameras to Gombe National Park in Tanzania, a place made famous by world-famous primatologist Jane Goodall and her research of the local chimpanzees. Step by step, the Google Street View Trekker camera retraced the steps Goodall took during the 54 years she spent studying the social behavior of chimpanzees. After capturing thousands of images, they were put together to allow us couch potatoes to explore this historical location ourselves, and meet the inhabitants who made Goodall’s work possible....

A Post By: Nick Fancher This is a shot I did on my own for my portfolio. In other words, it was unpaid. Who am I? This is a question that I ask myself all the time. What kind of photography do I do? Since I am inspired by so many different photographers, across multiple genres (fashion, portrait, photojournalist, product, commercial), it can get hard for me to remember that I can’t be all things to all people, or clients. For the sake of time, I’ve had to learn to narrow down the types of photography that I will pursue. It takes a considerable amount of time and energy to pursue new clients,...
A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich Final Image: Bear Rock, Dolly Sod Wilderness Area, West Virginia. Sunrise and Sunsets can be extremely contrasting and very challenging to capture the wide exposure range. Here’s a problem I am sure you have encountered, instances where you try to photograph an image that has a greater range of light and dark than your camera can accurately capture. In the example above, when we set our exposure to expose the sky correctly, the foreground objects are severely under-exposed. Likewise, if we set our exposure to correctly expose the foreground, the sky is blown out...
German startup Panono has said that its ball-shaped Panono Camera, capable of shooting spherical panorama images, will cost $549/€549 when it ships worldwide in the spring of 2015. The first to receive the camera will be the backers of the crowd-funding project the company used to get started before the camera goes on general release. Originally due for a September 2014 delivery date, the Panono uses 36 small cameras positioned to look in every direction, built into what the company describes as a grapefruit-sized ball. The cameras are triggered simultaneously and the images stitched...
Canon has announced the upcoming release of its second-generation EOS C100 Mark II digital video camera. The device houses a Super 35mm 8.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, and is being positioned as an affordable solution for film and video production, providing a variety of new design and performance upgrades. On the design front, the EOS C100 Mark II includes a new eyecup that can be paired with the unit’s 1.23 megapixel color EVF. Red trigger buttons and a built-in mono microphone have been added to the camera’s body to allow basic capture when the top handle is not attached. The EOS C100...
Ricoh Imaging is set to introduce three new colors for the company’s Pentax K-S1 DSLR camera, in what it calls the Pentax K-S1 Sweets Collection. Already available in 12 different main body colors, the 20-million-pixel APS-C camera will now also come with a white body featuring cyan, lime or pink colored panels. The company has named these Strawberry Cake, Blue Cream Soda and Lime Pie, and each features the trademark colored light strip on the hand-grip from the original K-S1 that was launched back in August. The company says that the Sweets Collection special edition models “make digital...
With the increasing affordability of digital full frame cameras, there’s been speculation about the future of APS-C as an enthusiast format. But with the launch of the 7D Mark II, Canon has made it pretty clear it believes there’s still a high-end market for crop-sensor formats. We spoke to Bettina Hansen, a photographer who regularly shoots Canon and has experience working with the original EOS 7D to see what she made of the new camera. Bettina Hansen • Usually shoots: Canon EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III Bettina Hansen is a staff photographer at The Seattle Times. You can find her...
When Benjamin Von Wong was commissioned to do a series of black and white portraits of SmugMug employees for the company’s gym, he knew he wasn’t going to be taking the easy route. But just because he was going to try to do something really cool, didn’t mean things needed to get expensive. To spice up the sporty portraits, Von Wong decided to add water into the equation, and thanks to some help from the folks at SmugMug, they were able to make it rain for only $20. To create the rain-machine, Von Wong enlisted the help of SmugMug facilities manager Daniel Petrosian, who ultimately...
A photographer’s notebook from over a century ago has been discovered in Antarctica. It belonged to British explorer and photographer George Murray Levick, who was part of Robert Falcon Scott’s last expedition to the continent from 1910 to 1913. A self-portrait by George Murray Levick New Zealand’s Antarctic Heritage Trust discovered the notebook outside the expedition base after summer snow melted, exposing the old expedition record. The notebook is a “Wellcome Photographic Exposure Record and Dairy 1910,” and has Levick’s name clearly written across the front pages. The pages inside...
No matter how much you prepare for every shoot or vacation you embark upon, it’s inevitable that you will one day find yourself holding a dead camera. It happens to the best of us. And while there are a number of backup chargers out there than can get the job done, none seem to quite stack up to Pronto: a backup that its creators claim can charge itself up to twelve times faster than conventional power banks. Pronto, which still has 15 days left to raise funding on Kickstarter, has already surpassed its funding goal of $50,000 by 500%, showing you just how badly people want to believe...
Toronto-based photographer Pete Thorne has been shooting a series of studio portraits of dogs. Not just any dogs, though: Thorne is only accepting subjects that are “really, really old.” The project is titled “Old Faithful,” and now includes over 50 dogs. Thorne says that he receives multiple inquiries per day from owners who would like to see their dog included in the series. Oftentimes the dogs will have interesting backstories that shed some light on their lives. Here are some of the photographs captured so far: “Meet Stella the 12yr old, one-eyed wonder Chihuahua! The little head...
Less than a month after the total lunar eclipse and blood moon made for some spectacular shooting opportunities all across the US and Asia, the cosmos is treating us to another eclipse. This one, the final eclipse of 2014, will be a partial solar eclipse that will be enjoyed by pretty much everybody in the United States. A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of only part of the sun, ‘taking a bite’ out of it and making it look like Pac-Man has returned to seek revenge on the ghosts and eat all your pac-dots. As usual, NASA does a better job of explaining what’s...
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson An eye for composition is one of the things that elevates the work of the best photographers above the rest. One of the best ways to learn about composition is focus on applying one idea at a time. You can treat it as an exercise that will help you improve your composition skills, the same way that piano players practice scales. Here are five ideas to get you started. #1 Use a single lens Lenses have an enormous influence on the look of a photo, and the best way to learn exactly what effect they have is to spend some time using just one lens. Ideally it would be a...
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson I recently bought a mirrorless camera (the Fujifilm X-Pro 1) and since then I’ve been getting to know the camera, using it in a variety of situations to familiarize myself with the way it works. Today I’d like to offer a few observations, based on my experience so far, on using cameras with electronic viewfinders for close-up photography. 1. The light weight of the camera and lens is very nice. This is a camera I can carry around all day without it feeling like a burden. It’s nearly half the weight of my EOS 5D Mark II. 2. Manual focusing is very easy in the...
Connect smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance and image quality. Introduction The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are Apple’s latest contributions to the smartphone world and joint successors to the iPhone 5S. On the surface, both new models are very similar in terms of specification and differ only in screen size and the addition of an optical image stabilization system in the larger Plus model. The latter, which is the subject of this review, comes with a 5.5-inch IPS screen and a 1080p full-HD resolution....
Back in January 2013, Lomography announced that it would be releasing a color negative film called Lomochrome Purple, which was based on Kodak’s Aerochrome. With that film, photographers could capture images with shifted colors skewed towards the presence of purple. Today the company has made a follow-up announcement, introducing the upcoming Lomochrome Turquoise XR 100-400. Similar to Lomochrome Purple, the newest version will shift colors toward various shades of blue rather than purple. Warm colors, says Lomography, will be transformed into differing blue tones that range from aqua...
One of the stranger stories that occurred in the world of photography this past weekend was when Oklahoma football player Sterling Shepard crash landed on a Canon telephoto lens, snapping it into two pieces. Now that the dust is settled, the photographer has come forward with his account of the incident and an apology to the player. It turns out the man behind the camera was Tulsa World photojournalist Mike Simons. In an article published today, Simons writes that he “felt horrible” that his camera gear caused Shepard pain. He also addresses comments about where the gear was being...
If you’ve been wanting to get into the large format game, but the financial investment was just too rich for your blood, the Intrepid 4×5 camera might be exactly what you’re looking for. Created by The Intrepid Camera Company, the Intrepid 4×5 camera was born out of a love of large format photography and the desire to create the perfect large format camera. The team wanted it to be affordable, without making any major sacrifices in weight and quality, so for over a year they whittled away at the design little by little until they ended up with the beast you see below: The prototype...
Whether it’s by necessity or personal decision, sometimes we’re left shooting an image with only a single-light setup. But just because you only have one light, that doesn’t mean you can’t toss in some variety and spice up your image appropriately. Here to highlight that fact is photographer Joel Grimes, who created the above video to show how experimenting with just a single light can produce some impeccable results. It’s worth noting that the video is definitely a bit of a Westcott commercial, but the info shared by Grimes and the examples given are solid knowledge for anyone who’s...
The accessories available for GoPro cameras are as diverse as the adventures people take them on. But while most at least opt for subtlety, Rhino accessories makes its presence known, both in name and aesthetics. The Rhino accessory lineup, currently funded and then some on Kickstarter, includes a variety of mounting objects that use everything from neodymium magnets to 3M adhesive plates. Also included in their lineup are two separate carbon fiber poles, one of which is extendable and one which is fixed. The most interesting piece of Rhino’s lineup, though, is the 360º helmet swivel...
Legendary writer and actor John Cleese is known more for his sense of humor than almost any other attribute. But as he demonstrates brilliantly in the above video, he also has an inspirational outlook and deep interest in the subject of creativity. In the half hour speech, Cleese talks about creativity and how it relates to both ‘open’ and ‘closed’ modes of thinking, each of which come with their own benefits and results. The open mode allows us to be curious, ‘playful’ and toy with ideas until we latch on to one… the closed mode allows us to be deliberate and followthrough with that...

Autumn is well underway here in the United States, so what better way to honor the colorful season than to share with you a post-production walkthrough by Serge Ramelli that will show you how to make your seasonal snapshots ‘pop’ with color. The key to making the most of your autumn photos, says Remelli, is to edit the photograph locally, not with global settings. By using the various methods of localized editing present in Lightroom, Remelli uses the Hue and Saturation sliders to subtly bring to life the colors of the trees and sky in his example image. It’s a pretty basic tutorial...

Here’s a neat video that combines the concept of the hyperlapse tour of a city with crowdsourced photography. Put together by filmmaker Lorenzo Antico, London in a day – INSTAGRAM was created by compiling a time-lapse of sorts using public Instagram photos taken by people in London. Inspired by the desire to make a short film from other people’s point of view, Antico decided to use Instagram, the most obvious choice of social networks, to do just that. To gather the 1,017 images, he used Iconosquare (formerly Statigram) to find exactly what he was looking for. The result is a...
How I Built a Huge Gigapixel Panoramic Robot

Today I want to share how I created a few huge, Gigapixel photos, using a DIY panoramic head. Actually, it is not a panoramic head, because it not only goes right and left, but also up and down. I’ve been a big fan of panoramic photography and of landscape in general for a long time. But four years ago I was climbing a mountain and the view from the top simply took my breath away. I felt an urgent need to share the image with people who don’t climb and therefore will never get access to such views. Here is the thing though, standard photos do not have enough details. Our eyes have far...

There’s a rule of thumb when it comes to viral dog photography: what’s cute with dogs is going to be twice as cute when you shrink your subjects down to puppies. Photographer Seth Casteel did it with Underwater Dogs and the sequel Underwater Puppies, and we are very happy to inform you that animal photographer Carli Davidson recently decided to take her viral SHAKE photos of dogs and create the photo series and book SHAKE Puppies. These younger portraits actually came about thanks to a suggestion by the best possible team of photo connoisseurs you could have critiquing your work:...

With a death toll estimated somewhere between 600k and 750k, the American Civil War was without a doubt the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history. But even the soldiers who made it out alive didn’t always do so without sustaining serious injuries. On its Flickr page, the US National Library of Medicine has shared a handful of portraits that depict the war-torn bodies of soldiers who fought through the war. According to the US National Library of Medicine, roughly 3/4th of all surgeries performed during the Civil War were amputations. From missing fingers and hands to completely amputated...

A Post By: John Davenport The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 APS-C sensor lens is without a doubt my favorite lens in my camera bag and it also has some great reviews throughout the photography community. But is this lens for you? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Ultimately, what kind of photographs can you take with it? Who is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for? On the surface this wide angle crop sensor lens is going to appeal to just about any landscape photographer using an APS-C sensor DSLR and particularly those who are on tighter budgets, as it can be found (at the time of this writing) for...

Budget Mitakon 42.5mm f/1.2 offered by ZY optics for M43, Sony E and Fuji X systems
Posted by Chris Roubis on 28th, Oct, 2014 |
no responses
I guess it depends on the subject in question 🙂 If I were shooting a portrait with the 85/1.2L II at f/1.2, I’d be using a tripod and a combination of manual focusing, magnification, and contrast detection on my 6D. That’d be ‘critical focusing’. But the challenge here isn’t whether the system is capable of hitting the target. It’s whether or not I can use the system that way! Simply put, using the 6D as an example, only the center point is really capable of accurate focusing with wide-angle lenses. If the target I’m using to focus isn’t in the...

Reported originally by Sony Alpha Rumors and Canon Watch, respectively, it seems DigitalRev has the Sony RX1 down as discontinued, while Amazon UK has the 6D listed as “discontinued by manufacturer.” The Sony news comes as no surprise: we’ve been expecting a true replacement to the RX1...

In the video above, iconic Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield shares the fascinating answer.

A Look Back at 100 Years of Leica Cameras

German news broadcaster Deutsche Welle created this short feature on the history of Leica in light of the 100th year anniversary of the brand’s existence. Oskar Barnack created his first functional Leica model back in 1914, and its compact size sparked a revolution in photography. The video also offers a glimpse into the exhibition in Hamburg titled, “Eyes Wide Open: 100 years of Leica photography” that features 500 works created with Leica gear. (via Leica Rumors) P.S. Leica also created its own video in a brilliant ad that recreates 35 of history’s most iconic images. Be sure to...

Pentax K-S1 Promo Features a Bad Photoshop Job
Posted by Chris Roubis on 26th, Oct, 2014 |

Ricoh Imaging added a set of ‘tasty’ new colors to its Pentax K-S1 lineup this past week, but its marketing for the camera appears to be backfiring. Photographers are groaning about a promo for the new camera colors. The ad (shown above) uses a badly Photoshopped stock photo to show off the camera. Here’s what the original promo looked like (click it it see a larger version): What’s bizarre is that the promo makes the camera look extremely small in the woman’s hands — about the size of a small compact camera. The camera is much larger in reality. It makes sense though: the original...
Photography and the Feelings of Others: From Mirroring Emotions to the Theory of Mind
Posted by Chris Roubis on 26th, Oct, 2014 |

Photography is powerful because we can place ourselves into the perspective of those we see in an image. Whether it’s street photography, photojournalism or portraiture, we use photography to understand ourselves in relation to people around us. Think of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare, Nick Ut’s Napalm Girl or Richard Avedon’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe. These iconic images capture intent, desire, suffering, pain, ambivalence, and invoke our ability to identify with those in the frame.

5 Tips for Underwater Photography Without Spending a Fortune
Posted by Chris Roubis on 26th, Oct, 2014 |
no responses
A Post By: Jon Haase Underwater photography is so much fun that it will take you to the farthest reaches of the world, inspire you to buy thousands of dollars of dive gear, and thousands of dollars more worth of underwater photography gear. It can also make you want to throw your underwater camera rig against the side of the dive boat, then into the water, then dive down and get it just so you can throw it to the bottom again. Spending six hours of planning and preparation just to find out the water is murky or that the fish aren’t there, or that the manta rays aren’t at their feeding...

A Post By: John Davenport Topaz Labs recently released a new standalone image processor called Topaz Impression and I wanted to show you how it works and the kinds of things you can create with it. However, I should make it very clear up front, that this is not a standard keep it real kind of image processor, so if you cringe at the thought of image manipulation you may want to turn away now. What is Topaz Impression? On the surface Topaz Impression is a digital image processor which allows you to take any photograph and convert it into something that resembles painted or drawn art.

Shot Face: Portraits of People Captured Immediately After Taking a Shot of Booze

Shots: they’re a staple of college life, avoided like the plague in other stages of life, and have even been the subject of a song or two. And whether it’s a warm rush of Fireball or the licorice flavor of Jägermeister, shots inevitably leave their consumers with an interesting reaction. It’s this reaction that gave photographer Tim Charles the idea for a clever little photo series that captures the expressions on people’s faces as they down a shot glass full o’ booze. Charles came up with the idea for Shot Face while out on the town with his girlfriend one weekend night. The...
Video: The Golden Ratio vs. The Rule of Thirds

There are a lot of debates in the world of photography: Nikon Vs. Canon, DSLR Vs. Mirrorless and Full-Frame Vs. Everything Else just to name a few. But one of the battles that doesn’t get as much air time probably has more impact on your images than any of the previous three. We’re talking about The Rule of Thirds Vs. The Golden Ratio. In the video above, Tara from DNews dives into this compositional war of grids, explaining what each rule is, where they come from, and how they differ from one another. Of course, as we all know, the more advanced a photographer gets the less likely...

Pixelmator has long been around on the desktop, finding its niche as a much more affordable (albeit less-polished) version of Adobe Photoshop.

The app, which features a non-destructive workflow, was first introduced last week when Apple showed off its newest iPad offerings. The app was built from scratch and specifically designed to utilize the hardware in iPads to ensure every bit of processing power can be pulled out of the devices. What is most interesting...

Noted Nigerian photographer Chief S.O. Alonge was the very first indigenous photographer of the Royal Court of Benin in Nigeria, and for some five decades, he captured thousands of Kodak glass-plate negatives of the ritual, pageantry and regalia of the Nigerian obas (kings), their wives and retainers. Now, these rarely seen images and the fascinating world they preserved are being pulled out of the archives of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American Art and shown to the world once more. The exhibit, which began last month and will run for a full year, uses Alonge’s...
The 360fly: A Waterproof, Panoramic Action Cam with a Single 360º Lens

This little device is the 360fly: a waterproof WiFi and Bluetooth-equipped action camera with an optical claim to fame. You see, its 360º horizontal and 240 degree vertical fisheye lens is, according to creators EyeSee360, the widest on the market. The camera is waterproof up to approximately 16 feet, comes with 16GB of internal memory, an f/2.5 lens, an integrate mic and a 1,504 x 1,504 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor. It holds its charge for two hours of use and comes in at a measly 0.3lbs. And because it uses a single lens and sensor, the action camera eliminates the need to stitch together...

Whatever it is, it’s your turn to photograph it and show me something that will make me have the chills.

Colorful Abstract Macro Photographs Created by Injecting Watercolors Into Ferrofluid On a Magnet
Posted by Chris Roubis on 24th, Oct, 2014 |
no responses
Artist Fabian Oefner‘s project Millefiori is, like most of the projects we’ve ever shared by him, a mixture of science and art. By combining vibrant watercolors with a magnetic solution called ferrofluid, he was able to create these gorgeous macro photographs of the paint and ferrofluid interacting on top of a magnet. According to Oefner’s description, these images come about because, when you put ferrofluid in a magnetic field, the iron particles in the solution start to rearrange to form these little black channels you see. And as he injects more and different watercolors onto the...

Here’s a glimpse into a day in the life of a New York Times staff photographer. The behind-the-scenes video above follows 64-year-old photographer Ozier Muhammad as he covers the People’s Climate March in New York City last month for the Times with a Canon DSLR and a pair of Leica M rangefinders. We see Muhammad weave walk through the event, hunting for shots that capture the essence of what is unfolding. It’s not always easy. “What I usually do when I arrive to a scene and the picture isn’t readily available to me,” he says. “I keep my fingers crossed and try to keep my eyes wide...
CERN is Asking for Your Help in Figuring Out What These Archive Photos Show

Scientists are all about recording data, facts and other information meticulously so that others can replicate their experiments. But, sometimes, even scientists can slip up. That, it seems, is what happened with the photography archive at CERN. As the folks at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) began digitizing their archive of roughly 120,000 photographs taken between 1955 and 1985, they realized that a number of the images are lacking any sort of information. This is making it all but impossible to identify the scientists, equipment and projects they’re working...

Realizing the potential of this find, he spent the next week digitally flying across the globe and curating what ended up being Satellite Fonts, a collection of all 26 letters of the alphabet as formed by buildings across the world. The results are impressive, with only a few of the letters that might be considered difficult to discern when taken out of context. But for the...
Nikon Scores Another DxOMark Hit with the D750, Its 6th Camera to Make the Top 10

Nikon’s newly-announced D750 has impressed those who have managed to get their hands on it thus far, but to properly put it through its paces, DxOMark ran it through its trusted sensor tests. As expected, it came out with quite high marks, putting it in 8th place on DxOMark’s overall rankings and making it the 6th Nikon camera to make it into the top 10. The new 24.3-megapixel sensor inside the D750 performed well, if inconsistently. DxOMark says the performance varied quite a bit throughout the tests, but overall, the three scores come across as ‘excellent,’ with Dynamic Range being...

Canon EOS 7D Mark II studio samples added to first impressions
Posted by Chris Roubis on 24th, Oct, 2014 |

Having examined the files in comparison with those of IDX, MK3, D4s and others, I would say there isn’t really much of an improvement in IQ and low noise performance. Canon hyped it up too much. People looking for near FF performance had better be more realistic. In my eyes, the improvement of iq over the 70D is slight. It appears to let in a wee bit more light and perhaps a very slight noise reduction, very slight. With advanced post processing, the raw files can be rendered much better. However, there are a host of new features, notably the much talked about improved AF, weather...
Canon patents lens designs with variable and glass elements
Posted by Chris Roubis on 24th, Oct, 2014 |

It’s not uncommon for a company to patent technologies that might be incorporated into products at some point, though the company might not have any plans to use it in the immediate future. Such a business move appears to be the case with a recent Canon patent, which details the use of variable lens elements in combination with traditional glass elements. Including a variable lens such as a liquid element potentially allows for smaller zoom lenses, and lenses that maintain the same overall length as they’re zoomed. The patent includes designs for a variety of lenses, from a...

When the home’s alarm went off and she heard someone coming up the stairs, she grabbed a 9mm Ruger. When the door opened, she fired. A bullet sliced through Noll’s chest and exited his back, piercing a painting on the wall behind him. […] As he lay bleeding, Noll raised the phone and snapped a selfie. Now that’s one “decisive moment” that resulted from some very strange priorities… (via Boing Boing)...

Who Are You as a Photographer?
Posted by Chris Roubis on 23rd, Oct, 2014 |
no responses
A Post By: Nick Fancher This is a shot I did on my own for my portfolio. In other words, it was unpaid. Who am I? This is a question that I ask myself all the time. What kind of photography do I do? Since I am inspired by so many different photographers, across multiple genres (fashion, portrait, photojournalist, product, commercial), it can get hard for me to remember that I can’t be all things to all people, or clients. For the sake of time, I’ve had to learn to narrow down the types of photography that I will pursue. It takes a considerable amount of time and energy to pursue new clients,...
5 Easy Steps to Exposure Blending for High Contast Landscapes
Posted by Chris Roubis on 23rd, Oct, 2014 |

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich Final Image: Bear Rock, Dolly Sod Wilderness Area, West Virginia. Sunrise and Sunsets can be extremely contrasting and very challenging to capture the wide exposure range. Here’s a problem I am sure you have encountered, instances where you try to photograph an image that has a greater range of light and dark than your camera can accurately capture. In the example above, when we set our exposure to expose the sky correctly, the foreground objects are severely under-exposed. Likewise, if we set our exposure to correctly expose the foreground, the sky is blown out...

German startup Panono has said that its ball-shaped Panono Camera, capable of shooting spherical panorama images, will cost $549/€549 when it ships worldwide in the spring of 2015. The first to receive the camera will be the backers of the crowd-funding project the company used to get started before the camera goes on general release. Originally due for a September 2014 delivery date, the Panono uses 36 small cameras positioned to look in every direction, built into what the company describes as a grapefruit-sized ball. The cameras are triggered simultaneously and the images stitched...

The company says that the Sweets Collection special edition models “make digital...

With the increasing affordability of digital full frame cameras, there’s been speculation about the future of APS-C as an enthusiast format. But with the launch of the 7D Mark II, Canon has made it pretty clear it believes there’s still a high-end market for crop-sensor formats. We spoke to Bettina Hansen, a photographer who regularly shoots Canon and has experience working with the original EOS 7D to see what she made of the new camera.

Make a Rain Machine to Spice Up Your Portraits for $20 and Some Elbow Grease

When Benjamin Von Wong was commissioned to do a series of black and white portraits of SmugMug employees for the company’s gym, he knew he wasn’t going to be taking the easy route. But just because he was going to try to do something really cool, didn’t mean things needed to get expensive. To spice up the sporty portraits, Von Wong decided to add water into the equation, and thanks to some help from the folks at SmugMug, they were able to make it rain for only $20. To create the rain-machine, Von Wong enlisted the help of SmugMug facilities manager Daniel Petrosian, who ultimately...

A photographer’s notebook from over a century ago has been discovered in Antarctica.

A self-portrait by George Murray Levick New Zealand’s Antarctic Heritage Trust discovered the notebook outside the expedition base after summer snow melted, exposing the old expedition record.

And while there are a number of backup chargers out there than can get the job done, none seem to quite stack up to Pronto: a backup that its creators claim can charge itself up to twelve times faster than conventional power banks.

Toronto-based photographer Pete Thorne has been shooting a series of studio portraits of dogs. Not just any dogs, though: Thorne is only accepting subjects that are “really, really old.” The project is titled “Old Faithful,” and now includes over 50 dogs. Thorne says that he receives multiple inquiries per day from owners who would like to see their dog included in the series. Oftentimes the dogs will have interesting backstories that shed some light on their lives. Here are some of the photographs captured so far: “Meet Stella the 12yr old, one-eyed wonder Chihuahua!

Less than a month after the total lunar eclipse and blood moon made for some spectacular shooting opportunities all across the US and Asia, the cosmos is treating us to another eclipse. This one, the final eclipse of 2014, will be a partial solar eclipse that will be enjoyed by pretty much everybody in the United States. A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of only part of the sun, ‘taking a bite’ out of it and making it look like Pac-Man has returned to seek revenge on the ghosts and eat all your pac-dots. As usual, NASA does a better job of explaining what’s...

Five Ways to Improve Your Eye for Composition

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson An eye for composition is one of the things that elevates the work of the best photographers above the rest. One of the best ways to learn about composition is focus on applying one idea at a time. You can treat it as an exercise that will help you improve your composition skills, the same way that piano players practice scales. Here are five ideas to get you started. #1 Use a single lens Lenses have an enormous influence on the look of a photo, and the best way to learn exactly what effect they have is to spend some time using just one lens.

Using Cameras with Electronic Viewfinders for Close-Up Photography

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson I recently bought a mirrorless camera (the Fujifilm X-Pro 1) and since then I’ve been getting to know the camera, using it in a variety of situations to familiarize myself with the way it works. Today I’d like to offer a few observations, based on my experience so far, on using cameras with electronic viewfinders for close-up photography. 1. The light weight of the camera and lens is very nice. This is a camera I can carry around all day without it feeling like a burden. It’s nearly half the weight of my EOS 5D Mark II. 2. Manual focusing is very easy in the...
Canon PowerShot G7 X First Impressions updated

I see that the PAL/NTSC doesn’t change the recording frame rate, so it looks to be only for analog video output. Just out of curiosity, for what do you use 25fps? I’m from PAL region but always liked the faster 30fps (or 60), and for our current displays it’s better fit too. If you want to tilt down, you can still shoot upside down, I agree that it’s not so convenient but it works 🙂 The front ring is really overly stiff and clicky for my taste. You can however pull focus on touch screen, with up/down buttons or with the rear, smoother dial, so other options are there....

Back in January 2013, Lomography announced that it would be releasing a color negative film called Lomochrome Purple, which was based on Kodak’s Aerochrome.

Today the company has made a follow-up announcement, introducing the upcoming Lomochrome Turquoise XR 100-400. Similar to Lomochrome Purple, the newest version will shift colors toward various shades of blue rather than purple. Warm colors, says Lomography, will be transformed into differing blue tones that range from aqua...

Now that the dust is settled, the photographer has come forward with his account of the incident and an apology to the player. It turns out the man behind the camera was Tulsa World photojournalist Mike Simons. In an article published today, Simons writes that he “felt horrible” that his camera gear caused Shepard pain. He also addresses comments about where the gear was being...

If you’ve been wanting to get into the large format game, but the financial investment was just too rich for your blood, the Intrepid 4×5 camera might be exactly what you’re looking for. Created by The Intrepid Camera Company, the Intrepid 4×5 camera was born out of a love of large format photography and the desire to create the perfect large format camera. The team wanted it to be affordable, without making any major sacrifices in weight and quality, so for over a year they whittled away at the design little by little until they ended up with the beast you see below: The prototype...
One Light Tutorial: How Small Adjustments to Light Position Can Drastically Affects Your Portraits

Whether it’s by necessity or personal decision, sometimes we’re left shooting an image with only a single-light setup. But just because you only have one light, that doesn’t mean you can’t toss in some variety and spice up your image appropriately. Here to highlight that fact is photographer Joel Grimes, who created the above video to show how experimenting with just a single light can produce some impeccable results. It’s worth noting that the video is definitely a bit of a Westcott commercial, but the info shared by Grimes and the examples given are solid knowledge for anyone who’s...

The Rhino accessory lineup, currently funded and then some on Kickstarter, includes a variety of mounting objects that use everything from neodymium magnets to 3M adhesive plates. Also included in their lineup are two separate carbon fiber poles, one of which is extendable and one which is fixed. The most interesting piece of Rhino’s lineup, though, is the 360º helmet swivel...

Legendary writer and actor John Cleese is known more for his sense of humor than almost any other attribute. But as he demonstrates brilliantly in the above video, he also has an inspirational outlook and deep interest in the subject of creativity. In the half hour speech, Cleese talks about creativity and how it relates to both ‘open’ and ‘closed’ modes of thinking, each of which come with their own benefits and results. The open mode allows us to be curious, ‘playful’ and toy with ideas until we latch on to one… the closed mode allows us to be deliberate and followthrough with that...
