A Post By: Darren Rowse Image by padawan *(xava du) Today as I was pulling together some images for this weekend’s photo challenge (on the them of ‘Shadows’ – I’ll officially launch it later today) I found so many cool images that touched on the theme that I thought I’d pull them together into an image collection. I hope they give a little inspiration and a few ideas on how to tackle the challenge this weekend. Image by seanmcgrath Image by Raúl A.

A Post By: Darren Rowse Earlier today we published our post – 25 Images with Shadows – which we hope gave you a little inspiration. Now it is your turn. We’d love you to to grab your camera and over the next week look for some shadow images because that’s the theme for this weeks challenge. Take a shadow photo and then share it with us as outlined below. Once you’ve taken your ‘Shadow’ shots we’d love to see them in comments below. Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section as pictured below) and they’ll...
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt There is a common misconception that if your image isn’t tack sharp and free of motion blur then it isn’t a good image. I’d like to show you three ways you can use motion blur to add drama and interest to your photography. Misconception: motion blur in photography = a bad image I would disagree and say, not necessarily so! It really depends on the subject you are shooting and your intention as the photographer and artist. Using blur can add interest and show implied movement in the image. It can help add a feeling of speed. If your are shooting a subject...

Lessons Learned From Leading New Web Professionals
By Jeremy Girard
October 18th, 2013
Business, Communication
1 Comment
Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to lead various Web design and development teams, including a number of professionals fresh out of school. Along the way, I’ve made my share of mistakes and learned some valuable lessons. Some new team members have jumped right in and begun contributing in a meaningful way almost immediately, and others have struggled to adjust to their new role because I failed as a leader...
A Post By: Helen Bradley If you’re a Lightroom user you’ll know that in Lightroom you can mask the sharpening you apply to an image so it is applied to the edges in the image only. This same feature is not yet available in Photoshop and the sharpening filters there are applied to the entire image rather than just edge detail. However you can achieve a reasonable approximation of the Lightroom masking feature in Photoshop using the Photoshop Find Edges filter. The benefit of this is you can apply more sharpening to the image than you would do without the masking effect and areas of flat...
The Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award is now in its third year, with photographers invited to enter work in categories such as Creating the Future, Street Life and Black-and-White.
Prizes totalling more than $389,000 are up for grabs in addition to the Grand Winning prize of $120,000, with first, second and third place laureates in all categories receiving from $6000 to $20,000 each.
The HIPA award, organised by the Crown Prince of Dubai, was launched as part of the Dubai 2015 Strategy and to demonstrate the country’s...
Fabio Bucciarelli has won a €7000 cash prize at the 20th Bayeux Calvados Awards for an image shot in Syria of “a wounded young Syrian who sits at the back of a truck after an attack carried out by President Assad’s forces on a Shaar neighbourhood.”
Bucciarelli, who works for Agence France-Presse, came ahead of Reuters’ photographer Goran Tomasevic and CNN’s Ricardo Garcia Vilanova, both of whom were also commended for their work in Syria.
The Public Photo Prize was awarded to another Agence France-Presse stringer, Javier Manzano, who will...

Following recent updates to the X-Pro1 and X-E1, Fujifilm has released a major upgrade to the X100, the original (now-discontinued) X-series model, which was announced back in 2010. Since its release, the X100 has benefitted from a series of major firmware improvements, and the latest – likely to be the last – offers faster startup time, and improvements to automatic and...

Fujifilm has announced the X-E2 – its latest mid-range mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. The X-E2 gains many of the upgrades seen in the X100S, including on-sensor-phase-detection that underpins the company’s unique digital-split-image focus aid. Beyond this the 16MP X-Trans camera has received a series of hardware adjustments and revisions in response to feedback about...

Fujifilm’s new XQ1 enthusiast compact takes the fast lens and slim design from last year’s XF1 and adds a 12 megapixel 2/3″ X-Trans II CMOS sensor with hybrid autofocus. The XQ1 features a 25-100mm (equivalent) F1.8-4.9 lens with optical image stabilization, with AF times as quick as 0.06 seconds, according to Fuji. Other features include a 3-inch LCD, focus peaking,...

Best Of Both Worlds: Mixing HTML5 And Native Code
By Peter Traeg
October 17th, 2013
Android, HTML5, Opinion Column
1 Comment
Much has been written recently in the ongoing debate between native and HTML5 applications. There are three principal ways to develop a mobile solution: native code, hybrid mobile app, mobile Web app. Developing an application in HTML5 is a way to leverage code across multiple platforms, rather than having to write the entire application from scratch for each platform. As such, much of the user interface, perhaps the entire...

A Post By: Andrew Gibson An interesting thing about digital photography is that it has led to the rise in use of techniques that are more difficult to carry out with film cameras. It’s all down to the ability to view your images on the camera’s LCD screen after you have taken them. It’s a simple feature, but one that has made a profound change to the way some photographers work. Regardless of what you may read about ‘chimping’, the LCD screen lets you see if your technique is working, and make adjustments on the spot if necessary. It’s one of the reasons that professionals...

One of the original promises of the Micro Four Thirds system was to permit the design of small mirrorless cameras. Today Panasonic released its Lumix DMC-GM1, a tiny camera which can literally fit in the palm of your hand. Don’t be fooled, though: it shares the same 16 megapixel sensor as the GX7 and also offers silent shooting at shutter speeds as high as 1/16000 sec, Wi-Fi, and...

Nikon has announced its new D5300 midrange DSLR which, as you might have gathered, is the follow-up to the D5200. New features include the omission of an AA filter from its 24MP CMOS sensor, a larger 3.2in articulated LCD and also a slightly larger optical viewfinder, 1080/60p video, and built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.

Schedule Events Using WordPress Cron

I don’t know about you, but I wake up every morning with at least 10 emails that I didn’t have when I went to sleep. While most people probably know that these emails aren’t being sent manually by some sleep-deprived, coffee-fuelled intern, many people don’t understand the ins and outs of the systems that automate tasks such as sending email. (Image: Don Schuetze) That’s where cron and WordPress Cron come into play. But they...
A Post By: Sime Sony are launching their new range (two models) of small, lightweight FULL FRAME cameras – right now! You can watch via this link. Updates as they happen. I don’t say this lightly, but we see the words “game changer†used a lot in photographic circles… I’ve spent some time with the NEX range, I’ve used an RX1 to photograph a wedding and if I’m honest – the only person that could tell the difference from the other camera I was shooting with was me when I looked at the exif. The client was supremely happy and I was excited to be shooting with this solid little...
A Post By: Barrie Smith I got the feeling the opposition was spooked by the news that this one was coming. Suddenly, major makers all over town announced press chats to bellow their wares from the heights. Olympus has a disturbing habit of delivering tasty morsels resembling full-on meals (!) in a manner far beyond its size. In the past companies such as Nikon and Canon have been justifiably wary of the O company and its moves on the market. This looks like another one. The retro-styled, magnesium alloy bodied E-M1 is Olympus’ flagship compact system camera and, in some very obvious ways,...
A Post By: Andrew Gibson The main benefit of Lightroom’s Library module is that it gives you the tools you need to get organised and speed up your workflow. The end result is that you can spend more time in the Develop module – the place where you creatively process your photos. The best way to get organised is by using Collections and Collection Sets. There seem to be as many ways of using Collections as there are photographers. I’m going to look at two in this article. The first uses Collections, and the second Smart Collections. Together they will give you an insight into how you...

Sony has announced the A7 and A7R – the world’s first consumer-oriented full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Externally, the two bodies are nearly identical and feature a pentaprism-like EVF housing, generous handgrip and plenty of manual controls. The differences are internal – sporting a 36 megapixel sensor, the A7R has no optical low-pass filter and is limited to contrast-detect autofocus, while the less expensive A7...

Sony has announced an addition to its RX-series of premium fixed-lens cameras, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX10. With the same 1″ sensor as the RX100 II, the RX10 offers a Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* 24-200mm equivalent zoom lens with an F2.8 constant maximum aperture. It uses a Bionz X image processor with offers improvements in resolution, noise reduction, and diffraction reduction. Other features include a tilting 3-inch LCD, OLED electronic viewfinder,...

Sony has announced no fewer than five ‘FE’ full frame E-mount lenses to accompany the A7 and A7R. First up is the FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS, an image-stabilised ‘kit’ zoom for the A7. There are three premium lenses with Zeiss badges: the FE 55mm F1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T*, the FE 35mm F2.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T*, and the FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T*.

In this article, we’ll take you on a thought-provoking journey through a couple of carefully selected Web designs.

In the context of typography, considering composition and grid structure is also important. Why Grid Structure...
A couple of weeks ago on my Real Estate Photographer Getting Started List, Harold commented  about the Aiptek ZAC-STD-5 tripod and how it was an inexpensive light stand for small flashes. The reason this is important for real estate photographers that use small flash for lighting, is that you want to put small flashes on light stands that can be made short, or tall and be folded down into a small package.The Aiptek is ideal, it goes from 49″ fully extended and folds up into a package only 16″ long, and it includes a canvas case. The primary reason a little tripod like this makes a...
A Post By: Jeff Guyer It seems that clients are becoming more and more knowledgeable every day regarding the various facets of what we do as professional photographers. Maybe it’s because we live and work in the most highly tech-savvy society ever, or maybe it’s because anyone with a smart phone and a few good photo apps can turn out amazing results (for which I applaud them, by the way). High-quality DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and fast lenses are available and well within the reach of the average photographic consumer. Even those not necessarily interested in taking their own photos...
This Guide to Birth Photography was written by Lori Peterson Few things in this world are as joyous as welcoming a new baby.

Ever since I’ve been involved in the Web, I’ve been fascinated by little things that make a big impact. It’s one of the reasons why I started collecting and blogging about these details, which could in some way help others grow an audience. One recurring topic early on was launch and landing pages and the strategies that creators use to expand the reach of their websites, which led to a Smashing Magazine...
A Post By: Elizabeth Halford When I look at a picture of myself, I can point out a million things I hate: my hair is always flat, I hate the ptosis in my left eye, I hate the shape of my brow bone, I have a bad complexion. And I’m a photographer! How can I expect women in front of my camera to feel any different than I do when I have to endure having my photo taken? I know that some men hate having their photo taken, too, and many of them probably aren’t as easy to admit that they hate their complexion or the shape of their brow bone, but I’m sure they think these things. As in any...

A Post By: Darren Rowse One of the most effective pieces of lighting gear ever invented is available to almost every photographer in the world… unless you’re living in a cave (and even then you might have one). It’s the window. Here is a collection of natural light portraits. They were all taken predominantly with natural light – in most cases at or near a window. Enjoy. Image by Daniel Zedda Image by Anna Gay Image by Eric Meuller I hear many photographers asking about what lighting gear to purchase to light their portraits – but I’m a firm believer that the natural light...
A Post By: Barrie Smith It’s been nearly two years since Fujifilm launched its pioneer X-system mirrorless camera to a surprised market. That model, the awkwardly named X-Pro1, has been succeeded by a run of other models. So now we have the X-M1, missing a few niceties from the launch model, but undeniably an X-system camera. And, in some ways, it’s very much a ‘camera’ sort of camera. By that, I mean it looks slightly retro with satin chrome trim and a black leather-like surface and has a control interface which you should easily fall into step with. And in one respect, more models...
By Lori Peterson Digital photography has put the camera in more hands than ever before and everyone seems to either want to follow the standard mold of photography or they want to completely break away from it. For instance, Ian Ruhter took a delivery van and transformed it into a giant wet plate camera. There are so many photographers out there that are wanting to copy someone else’s style instead of finding their own. Learn the rules and then use them or twist them as you need to do to make your own art and to tell your story. One part of your image may follow the standard photography...

Apps come and go, but every once in a while, a newcomer will jump on the scene and make you shake up your mobile photography routine. Over the past few weeks, a number of photo editing apps have emerged on every mobile platform and a few have the potential to change our mobile photography workflow. 1. Diptic PDQ for iOS; $0.99 Now that Apple lets you put a ton of apps in one folder, I rank my photography apps based on which page they are on in that folder. While it started on page 4, Diptic PDQ quickly climbed the ranks and it is now on page #1. Way easier to use than the original...

A Post By: Darren Rowse This week your photographic challenge is to take and share a photo that fits into the theme of ‘Pink’. It has been a while since we’ve done a colour theme so we thought this week we’d get you to keep your eye open for pink objects and settings – it might sound a slightly obscure colour choice but when you start looking for shots I’m sure you’ll find them!

After watching many families at the beach over the school holidays, I noticed that most of the parents, as well as some professional photographers, were making the same 3 HUGE mistakes when they were photographing kids. I could see the parents getting frustrated and it looked like no one was having fun. I guess I can summarise the 3 mistakes in one sentence. “Hey kids, please sit down over there, look this way and smile!†Mistake 1: Asking Kids to Sit Still: “Hey kids,...
By Annie Tao. Lifestyle Photography has been around for as long as there were cameras, but it was called Photojournalism and was mostly seen only in the newspapers. During those times, most Portrait Photographers captured their subjects posed and “perfectâ€. Once DSLRs infiltrated the market at lower price points, everyone and their grandmas (okay, maybe not all grandmas) had one. Digital photography allowed the birth of this new form of portraiture – Lifestyle Photography – by allowing people to shoot freely without the worry of film and film development costs. Now with smart phones...
Summary With a DxOMark Mobile score of 74Â the Nokia Lumia 1020 slots in at the number four spot in the DxOMark smartphone ranking, just below the Samsung Galaxy S4 and above the iPhone 5. However, the overall score is pulled down by a relatively low video score of 64 points. The photo score of 79 puts the 1020 in a joint second place with the Galaxy S4 in that category, behind its older brother, the Nokia 808. Â The DxOMark team reports that the Nokia Lumia 1020 captures images with “excellent detail preservation both in low and bright light conditions, very low noise levels...

So We Wanted To Build A File Uploader… (A Case Study)

One day I discovered that I needed to design an API that would upload files from a client to a server. I work on the Russian Web mail provider at Mail.ru and deal with JavaScript in all its aspects. A basic feature of any Web mail service is of course attaching a file to an email. Mail.ru is no exception: We used to have a Flash uploader, which was rather good, but still had some problems.

Good news for iPhone photographers. Flickr has released an update to its iOS application that allows users to automatically upload their photos to Flickr’s free terabyte of cloud storage. In addition to the automatic uploading feature, users now have access to an easy auto-straightening tool. This latest update is yet another example of Flickr’s commitment to mobile photography. The photo sharing social network has been around since before the iPhone existed, but in recent months it has improved its mobile apps to lure users away from newer services. From Flickr’s...

A Post By: Jeff Guyer If you’ve ever had to work your way through a busy airport with your gear, you know that an ordinary camera bag just isn’t going to cut it. Making sure everything is safely packed, moving through security, getting on and off your plane, working your way through yet another airport– it’s a challenge.

A Post By: Anne McKinnell The difference between a nice sunset and a dramatic sunset is all about the clouds. Of course, the difference between a dramatic sunset and no sunset is all about the clouds too! A clear sky at sunset might turn a shade of pale blue or pink, which is beautiful and calming, but with just the right amount of clouds the sky becomes alive with fire and drama as the day’s last rays reflect off the clouds making them red, orange, purple and pink. Not all clouds are created equal though. They come in many shapes, sizes, densities, and altitudes, and they all refract or...

Things such as group brainstorming, on-the-fly presentations and open workspaces have become the norm in most design agencies. But the...

What the Camera Raw Filter offers The Camera Raw filter is new to the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop – Photoshop CC – so it’s not available in earlier Photoshop versions. It gives you access to most (but not all) of the features of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) from inside Photoshop. You can use it on any image – even those file formats that ACR doesn’t support – and on any layer. So, you don’t have to be working...
A Post By: Andrew Gibson It seems to me that we live in a world orientated to a digital generation demanding instant gratification. This extends to photography, encouraged by the prevalence of camera phones and Instagram type apps. How many photographers, when they come across a beautiful scene, just stop and snap a photo with a camera phone and then move on? Long exposure photography is different. It demands patience, an appreciation of beautiful light and a deep understanding of composition. It is as much about the mind-set of the photographer as it is about the subject. It’s not brash...

A Post By: Jeff Guyer While it’s true that photography is a visual medium, I am always fascinated by images that can suggestively invoke my other senses. Have you ever looked at a photo in a cookbook or magazine and commented that the food looked so good you could practically taste it? What really pulls me into the essence of a photograph, though, is texture. Whether I’m feeling colorful autumn leaves crunching under my feet, the delicate edges of flower petals on my fingertips, or the jagged shards of a broken window– when a photo makes me want to touch it you have me hooked. That’s...

Nikon has announced the much-rumored D610 24MP full-frame DSLR. Coming just a year after the D600, the D610 appears to be a very minor refresh, with a quiet continuous shooting mode, improved white balance and faster continuous shooting touted as its major changes. Beyond this, the D610 is essentially the same camera as the D600 and, given its launch at the same $2000 SRP, it’s extremely likely that the D610 replaces the older camera. Click here to...

3 Tips for Creating Dramatic Images using Motion

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt There is a common misconception that if your image isn’t tack sharp and free of motion blur then it isn’t a good image. I’d like to show you three ways you can use motion blur to add drama and interest to your photography. Misconception: motion blur in photography = a bad image I would disagree and say, not necessarily so! It really depends on the subject you are shooting and your intention as the photographer and artist. Using blur can add interest and show implied movement in the image. It can help add a feeling of speed. If your are shooting a subject...

How to Sharpen Image Edges in Photoshop
Posted by Chris Roubis on 18th, Oct, 2013 |
no responses
A Post By: Helen Bradley If you’re a Lightroom user you’ll know that in Lightroom you can mask the sharpening you apply to an image so it is applied to the edges in the image only. This same feature is not yet available in Photoshop and the sharpening filters there are applied to the entire image rather than just edge detail. However you can achieve a reasonable approximation of the Lightroom masking feature in Photoshop using the Photoshop Find Edges filter. The benefit of this is you can apply more sharpening to the image than you would do without the masking effect and areas of flat...

First Impressions Review of Fujifilm X-E2 midrange mirrorless ILC
Posted by Chris Roubis on 18th, Oct, 2013 |
no responses
I made they very same stowage argument against the hump when the OM-D EM-5 was announced. It’s one of a number of design issues with the EM-5, at the very least the hot-shoe should have been recessed into the hump, not plonked on top. But after a year of use I can’t say the hump has ever caused me any real issues. But I find the current aesthetics of the XEs to be quite dull, specifically the top half. It looks a bit empty due to the absence of an OVF window for a rangefinder style camera. I think a small well implement hump for central finder would also improve the looks, while...

As such, much of the user interface, perhaps the entire...

A Post By: Andrew Gibson An interesting thing about digital photography is that it has led to the rise in use of techniques that are more difficult to carry out with film cameras. It’s all down to the ability to view your images on the camera’s LCD screen after you have taken them. It’s a simple feature, but one that has made a profound change to the way some photographers work. Regardless of what you may read about ‘chimping’, the LCD screen lets you see if your technique is working, and make adjustments on the spot if necessary.

First impressions review: Tiny Panasonic GM1 under the microscope
Posted by Chris Roubis on 17th, Oct, 2013 |

Well shoot, I was literally days away from getting myself a GF6, as my first ILC, with plans of also getting the 14-42 PZ too… Actually bought the Oly 45 already for it too (caught a deal on it for $300, was gonna grab the 20mm too). Now I’m debating whether I want to just grab the GF6 and later get this new kit lens (the wide end is actually more attractive, specially if I have the 14-42 II anyway), tho $350 for it seems steep (street price for the PZ is usually <$300). Tempted to just wait a bit and get the GM1… New sensor, peaking, electronic/faster shutter…...

Panasonic unveils tiny Lumix DMC-GM1 ILC and compact 12-32mm lens
Posted by Chris Roubis on 17th, Oct, 2013 |

One of the original promises of the Micro Four Thirds system was to permit the design of small mirrorless cameras. Today Panasonic released its Lumix DMC-GM1, a tiny camera which can literally fit in the palm of your hand. Don’t be fooled, though: it shares the same 16 megapixel sensor as the GX7 and also offers silent shooting at shutter speeds as high as 1/16000 sec, Wi-Fi, and...

This is a brilliant idea if the lens is super.

Sony release Lightest FULL FRAME camera with interchangeable lens, ever! The Sony A7r

A Post By: Sime Sony are launching their new range (two models) of small, lightweight FULL FRAME cameras – right now! You can watch via this link. Updates as they happen. I don’t say this lightly, but we see the words “game changer†used a lot in photographic circles… I’ve spent some time with the NEX range, I’ve used an RX1 to photograph a wedding and if I’m honest – the only person that could tell the difference from the other camera I was shooting with was me when I looked at the exif. The client was supremely happy and I was excited to be shooting with this solid little...
Olympus OM-D E-M1 Review
Posted by Chris Roubis on 16th, Oct, 2013 |

A Post By: Barrie Smith I got the feeling the opposition was spooked by the news that this one was coming. Suddenly, major makers all over town announced press chats to bellow their wares from the heights. Olympus has a disturbing habit of delivering tasty morsels resembling full-on meals (!) in a manner far beyond its size. In the past companies such as Nikon and Canon have been justifiably wary of the O company and its moves on the market. This looks like another one. The retro-styled, magnesium alloy bodied E-M1 is Olympus’ flagship compact system camera and, in some very obvious ways,...

A Post By: Andrew Gibson The main benefit of Lightroom’s Library module is that it gives you the tools you need to get organised and speed up your workflow. The end result is that you can spend more time in the Develop module – the place where you creatively process your photos. The best way to get organised is by using Collections and Collection Sets. There seem to be as many ways of using Collections as there are photographers. I’m going to look at two in this article. The first uses Collections, and the second Smart Collections. Together they will give you an insight into how you...

The ultimate superzoom? Sony Cyber-shot RX10 first impressions review
Posted by Chris Roubis on 16th, Oct, 2013 |
no responses
Well, huge apologies, NOT! Do you really mean to say that a 1″ sensor is NOT 1″ at all? The sensor is only 13.8mm x8.8mm. This means that it has an area merely of 12,244 sq. mm. Well in the UK and I am sure elsewhere it is against the Sale of Goods Act and the Trade Descriptions Act to state that the sensor is a 1″ sensor.A 1″ sensor has an area of 64,516 sq.mm, and that’s more than four times the area of this tinsy nail-clipping bodie sized chip, so the image quality will be absolutely no improvement on what the 7800 Nikon can already do, and Sony are plain...

Sony has announced the A7 and A7R – the world’s first consumer-oriented full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Externally, the two bodies are nearly identical and feature a pentaprism-like EVF housing, generous handgrip and plenty of manual controls. The differences are internal – sporting a 36 megapixel sensor, the A7R has no optical low-pass filter and is limited to contrast-detect autofocus, while the less expensive A7...

Inexpensive Light Stand For Small Flashes – Ideal For Real Estate Photography
Posted by Chris Roubis on 15th, Oct, 2013 |
no responses
A couple of weeks ago on my Real Estate Photographer Getting Started List, Harold commented  about the Aiptek ZAC-STD-5 tripod and how it was an inexpensive light stand for small flashes. The reason this is important for real estate photographers that use small flash for lighting, is that you want to put small flashes on light stands that can be made short, or tall and be folded down into a small package.The Aiptek is ideal, it goes from 49″ fully extended and folds up into a package only 16″ long, and it includes a canvas case. The primary reason a little tripod like this makes a...

A Post By: Jeff Guyer It seems that clients are becoming more and more knowledgeable every day regarding the various facets of what we do as professional photographers.

High-quality DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and fast lenses are available and well within the reach of the average photographic consumer.

This is Nikon now? Inability to deliver D300 replacement for years (not that I care, i wouldn’t buy it, but it shows how they don’t care), insanely expensive N1 system with massive flaws (I don’t mean the sensor size), QA issues which they can’t even admit, slowly breaking the good little details in their cameras in favor of some gimmicky cr*p… All that draws a...

Fujifilm X-M1 Review

A Post By: Barrie Smith It’s been nearly two years since Fujifilm launched its pioneer X-system mirrorless camera to a surprised market. That model, the awkwardly named X-Pro1, has been succeeded by a run of other models. So now we have the X-M1, missing a few niceties from the launch model, but undeniably an X-system camera. And, in some ways, it’s very much a ‘camera’ sort of camera. By that, I mean it looks slightly retro with satin chrome trim and a black leather-like surface and has a control interface which you should easily fall into step with. And in one respect, more models...

By Lori Peterson Digital photography has put the camera in more hands than ever before and everyone seems to either want to follow the standard mold of photography or they want to completely break away from it. For instance, Ian Ruhter took a delivery van and transformed it into a giant wet plate camera. There are so many photographers out there that are wanting to copy someone else’s style instead of finding their own. Learn the rules and then use them or twist them as you need to do to make your own art and to tell your story. One part of your image may follow the standard photography...

Posted by Chris Roubis on 12th, Oct, 2013 |

By Annie Tao. Lifestyle Photography has been around for as long as there were cameras, but it was called Photojournalism and was mostly seen only in the newspapers. During those times, most Portrait Photographers captured their subjects posed and “perfectâ€. Once DSLRs infiltrated the market at lower price points, everyone and their grandmas (okay, maybe not all grandmas) had one. Digital photography allowed the birth of this new form of portraiture – Lifestyle Photography – by allowing people to shoot freely without the worry of film and film development costs. Now with smart phones...
DxOMark Mobile Report added to our Nokia Lumia 1020 review
Posted by Chris Roubis on 12th, Oct, 2013 |

Summary With a DxOMark Mobile score of 74Â the Nokia Lumia 1020 slots in at the number four spot in the DxOMark smartphone ranking, just below the Samsung Galaxy S4 and above the iPhone 5. However, the overall score is pulled down by a relatively low video score of 64 points. The photo score of 79 puts the 1020 in a joint second place with the Galaxy S4 in that category, behind its older brother, the Nokia 808. Â The DxOMark team reports that the Nokia Lumia 1020 captures images with “excellent detail preservation both in low and bright light conditions, very low noise levels...
Ten things we learned this week

Again, not a fan of having to click “next” for every single item on the list. Hate that design, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. (By the way, I notice that the same ads remain, so what’s the point?) “Shutter shock” on the Olympus E-5–a lot of Olympus users have complained about that, and despite the great images the E-PL1 and E-PM1 were capable of, it, along with the fact that it took Olympus forever to improve their sensors, is why I moved to Sony NEX via C3. I’ve never noticed the shutter shock problem when using it, & its sensor was way...

“the reason I’ve shot subjects with fore-aft separation is to make it clearer what is and isn’t in focus” Considering what I previously said, what’s left is a function of aperture setting and sensor size, not AF performance. “The camera does record which AF point was used in the file’s EXIF, so I may be able to check if you want to know, for any given image…” That’s not a practical or feasible thing to do and not something I would ask or expect you to do. What would be practical and feasible, for the reasons you said you took the...

You need a big brick of green printed matter to get that 80 mpix brick, and you have to carry it around, you have to endure it’s writing time, the size of the shots, the computer caughing when it has to “eat” them, and, and, and …..

How to Photograph Dramatic Clouds at Sunset

A Post By: Anne McKinnell The difference between a nice sunset and a dramatic sunset is all about the clouds. Of course, the difference between a dramatic sunset and no sunset is all about the clouds too! A clear sky at sunset might turn a shade of pale blue or pink, which is beautiful and calming, but with just the right amount of clouds the sky becomes alive with fire and drama as the day’s last rays reflect off the clouds making them red, orange, purple and pink. Not all clouds are created equal though. They come in many shapes, sizes, densities, and altitudes, and they all refract or...

How many photographers, when they come across a beautiful scene, just stop and snap a photo with a camera phone and then move on? Long exposure photography is different. It demands patience, an appreciation of beautiful light and a deep understanding of composition. It is as much about the mind-set of the photographer as it is about the subject. It’s not brash...

A Post By: Jeff Guyer While it’s true that photography is a visual medium, I am always fascinated by images that can suggestively invoke my other senses.

What really pulls me into the essence of a photograph, though, is texture. Whether I’m feeling colorful autumn leaves crunching under my feet, the delicate edges of flower petals on my fingertips, or the jagged shards of a broken window– when a photo makes me want to touch it you have me hooked.

Slight improvement? Nikon D610 First Impressions Review
Posted by Chris Roubis on 8th, Oct, 2013 |
no responses
The AWB fix is just firmware that the D600 would be able to get. So essentially, this is a camera with a new shutter. I think this is a strange move. They should just have fixed up D600’s for any users with problems, and replaced the shutter mechanism in the forthcoming D600 models. Like… Most other responsible manufacturers when hardware defects crop up. It happens. It happened with the Fujifilm X100, but newly developed cameras don’t exhibit the stuck aperture blade problem, and Fujifilm are taking such cameras out of warranty when it comes to the problem. They...

Nikon has announced the much-rumored D610 24MP full-frame DSLR. Coming just a year after the D600, the D610 appears to be a very minor refresh, with a quiet continuous shooting mode, improved white balance and faster continuous shooting touted as its major changes. Beyond this, the D610 is essentially the same camera as the D600 and, given its launch at the same $2000 SRP, it’s extremely likely that the D610 replaces the older camera. Click here to...
Shaking up the market? Pentax K-3 First Impressions Review
Posted by Chris Roubis on 8th, Oct, 2013 |

@PlastekYes, I must admit my math isn’t that strong. But, if the movement was indeed linear and exactly 1 px in each direction, the result would be a box blur, since each pixel would contain average information from all inmediately adjacent pixels, do you agree? Now, I do think it’s more likely that the movement is sinusoidal (the SR system vibrates the sensor around a central point), that is, the values in the center of the pixels ares weighted more than the values in the extremes, which is even closer to gaussian. At any rate, you are right, it remains to be seen how good it...
