Top 10 Features to Bring Your Seascape Photos to Life

Seascapes are awesome opportunities for photography. In fact, it will probably be your first impulse upon seeing the ocean to pull out your camera (or wish you had it with you). It takes some skill, however, to turn a beautiful coastal scene into something more than a snapshot. If you are not careful, your coastal photo can be a boring picture of sand and water. One of the keys to success for coastal photography is finding something interesting along the coastline to put in your picture. It would be great if there was an abandoned boat every...

Alessandro Bavari – in the belly of the beast

Posted by on 31st, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Alessandro the child artist would sit at a table drawing pictures of clowns with bare breasts and the Madonna with a moustache. In time, these childlike and whimsical representations morphed into darker, distorted, more unsettling interpretations of the human psyche. The work of Alessandro the adult artist, a fusion of mixed-media techniques, inspired by childhood impressions, delves into the very bowels of human despair. There are many disparate moments in Alessandro Bavari’s childhood that inform the artist he is today...

Samsung starts mass-production of thinner 16MP sensor with 1.0μm Pixels

Samsung has announced the start of mass-production of its S5K3P3 image sensor for mobile devices. The new chip is thinner than previous generations, allowing for the design of thinner, more compact, camera modules. At under 5mm thickness, these new modules can be used in ultra-thin smartphones without resulting in protruding cameras as we’ve seen on some of the latest Samsung Galaxy models. The slimming is achieved by reducing the size of each individual pixel. They now measure 1.0 micron compared to 1.12 micron in the sensors...

What’s in a name? Zeiss provides details on lens partnerships and production

Lens maker Zeiss has written a blog post about its relationships with other manufacturers – specifically its partnership with Sony. The post sheds some light on exactly what that little blue logo on your lens might mean. The blog post itself appears to have been written by the marketing department at Zeiss, but reading between the lines gives us a better idea of how the company’s relationship with Sony works.  Lens makers’ names appearing on lenses can mean a variety of things. It can mean anything from...

Canon’s multi-purpose ME20F-SH camera reaches ISO 4 million

Posted by on 31st, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Fun little thought experiment: If we go by sensorgen, the 1D-X’s pixels have a full-well capacity (FWC) of 90,000. Since the pixels on this sensor are 7.5x larger, we can extrapolate that given similar sensor capabilities, the pixels on this sensor can hold ~675,000 photoelectrons. Now, since each doubling of ISO halves the FWC, ISO 4,000,000 will yield a FWC of roughly 675,000/40,000 = 16.875. Let’s be generous and round that to 20. That means white is made from 20 photons. If we generously place middle grey at 3 EV below...

OpEd: Don’t Fund My Life

Don’t fund my life. Really, don’t send anything. I’m a photographer, a businessperson, an artist, an educator and a friend. Many tough things have happened to me over the years, but it has been suggested that I keep the negativity to a minimum. Lots of good things have happened to me as well. Mostly, good things happened because of planning and preparation and a little luck. Bad things have happened because life happens and sometimes we are unlucky. My car was hit in a road rage incident recently and I need $450 to pay for it after all...

Baby in China Blinded by Camera Flash? Probably Not

Baby in China Blinded by Camera Flash? Probably Not

Earlier this week, China’s official state newspaper People’s Daily published a story on its website about how a 3-month-old baby had been blinded in one eye by a camera flash. The report said that a family friend forgot to turn off the camera’s flash before taking a picture from around 1 foot away from the baby’s face, causing permanent blindness in his right eye and a loss of vision in his left. The brief but powerful flash caused “irreversible damage to the delicate” macula of the eye, which is extremely sensitive in early years, the...

‘Eadweard’ is a Biopic About Photographer Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard is a new indie biopic about the life of English photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who’s considered to be one of the godfathers of cinema due to his early experiments with capturing and projecting motion. The film is a 104-minute psychological drama that tells the story of Muybridge’s life, from his controversial photos of nude and deformed subjects, to the murder of his wife’s lover, to his work as one of the earliest “filmmakers.” Muybridge is the photographer who famously used 12 separate still cameras in 1872 to photograph a...
