5 Incredible Storm Photographers and Their Best Images
I’ve been a landscape and travel photographer for nearly six years now. While I will always love standing in front of an amazing landscape at sunset, nothing on earth can compare to the feeling I get when standing in front of a massive supercell with 40-50mph winds at my back, watching it twist and churn, as it tries to lower itself to the ground. It’s the most intense and pure mixture of awe, fear and respect for mother nature that I’ve been able to find to this day. © James Brandon. Henrietta, TX Supercell © James Brandon. Ranger, TX...
read moreThe Secret to Great Photography Portfolio
If you’ve been around the photography world for a short time, you probably have at least a basic grasp of the technical skills. You know how to manipulate depth of field with aperture, where to focus in a portrait, and how to compensate your exposure for extremes in shadows and highlights. Even knowing things like that, you’ve probably stumbled across some incredible portfolios or magazine spreads and asked, “How did they do that?” Or even “What’s their secret?” The secret to a great photography portfolio is simple. It isn’t even a secret at...
read moreFound in a Beijing recycling plant: “A weird and slightly fucked up tradition.”
When French collector Thomas Sauvin discovered a forgotten trove of photos, he learned about a very strange old tradition, now lost in China’s rise. “It was very unusual. I’ve been to a few Chinese weddings, but I had never seen this before — neither had most of my Chinese friends.” As a collector and editor for the UK-based Archive of Modern Conflict, Thomas Sauvin’s pursuit of intriguing images often takes him to odd places, but when he discovered a trove of forgotten images depicting a bygone wedding ritual, even...

3D Xpoint™ technology wafers are currently running in production lines at Intel Micron Flash Technologies fab. Image and caption courtesy of Intel Chip makers Micron and Intel have announced a new form of computer memory that promises faster, more reliable storage than current technologies, in a smaller space and at similar prices.

read moreAdobe announces final Camera Raw update for CS6 owners
While de facto standards are all well and good, this is a prime example of having only ONE “real” option ends up screwing us all. So anyone who’s waiting to get a 5d4, 1d4, t7i, nikon 9000 or whatever, you have to pay adobe for pshop to even see the files. MONTHLY. Forever. Sure, you can use canons or nikons crap software…PER IMAGE. Their apps are quite terrible, rivaling the worst in possible UI design. Some smart guys keep talking about the cost of a starbucks, but how about the costs of non working software because...
read morePocket full of tricks: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV review posted
The review missed one item that is worth highlighting: – The RX100 III had three modes for LCD monitor (screen) brightness: manual, auto, and sunlight. The RX100 IV only has manual and sunlight; the auto mode is not available in the menu. I do not know if this is intentional or done for some particular reason. I’m not sure if the IV has an LCD screen light sensor as the III has? I have owned the RX100 IV for a little over a week now and found toggling between manual setting for indoor use and sunlight setting for outdoors to be...
read moreHow I Used Bigfoot to Say ‘No Hard Feelings’
This is a story of when life gives you lemons, you try and not cry yourself to sleep. The names in this story have been omitted to protect the mistaken. A couple of weeks ago, I got a phone call — the kind of phone call I’ve been dreaming about for a while now. The person on the other end of the phone asked me if I would be interested in shooting in Chicago for them the following week. My mind went into overdrive! I spent some time over the weekend running down some possible assistants, and come Monday, I was on the phone with a rental...

read moreMacro Photos Show the Strange Beauty of Bug-Eating Sundew Plants
Finnish fine art photographer Joni Niemelä loves capturing and sharing little details in nature that often get unnoticed. One of his recent subjects has been the Drosera, also known as sundews, which are among the largest of all carnivorous plants. The plants are covered with drops of dew-like liquid that are used to lure, capture, and digest insects that happen to wander by, and Niemelä decided to make these beautiful structures the subject of two recent projects, titled Otherworldly Blues and Drosera. Niemelä tells Colossal that he...
read moreHow to Shoot Portraits of Strangers on the Street Like a Ninja
While teaching a street photography workshop in Chicago recently, photographer Chuck Jines saw an opportunity to teach his students how he’s sometimes able to shoot portraits of strangers from extremely close distances without them noticing. “I had the opportunity to demonstrate just how much a photographer can get away with when people are lost in thought or occupied with a task,” Jines says. His unusual demonstration is seen in the 1.5-minute video above. Here’s the gist. After noticing a woman staring intently at her phone, Jines...
read moreThe ‘Tri-clops’ is a Wearable Camera Obscura with 3 Eyes on the World
The “Tri-clops,” created by pinhole photographer Justin Quinnell,” is the world’s first multi-screen, wearable camera obscura. The device (and two extra I-scuras, as seen above) will be making the founds at several art and science festivals (e.g. Sidmouth and Green Man) in the UK over the coming months. Here’s a quick overview of the “Tri-clops,” as presented by Quinnell’s daughter at the recent Womad festival: When a user sticks their head into the camera obscura, they’re presented with a “stereo + 1″ view of the outside world. “It’s...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
