A portable and brightness adjustable, continuous LED light source, the Ice Light is a lightweight and simple on-demand lighting solution. If anything, its similar build to that of a light sabre, will almost always be a conversation starter between you and your photo subject. This review will discuss the pros and cons of the Ice Light, as well as some photo shoot scenarios where it shines the most....
read moreHow to Make Creative Images with a $12 LED Light
Photography is all about the light. As photographers, our aim is to capture and control the amount of light hitting the camera’s sensor to perfect a good photo. When photographers talk about light, you will hear terms mentioned such as ambient, which is natural light. Note this type of light is always changing, it doesn’t remain constant. Split, Rembrandt, and Butterfly are some of the classic lighting patterns used for portraiture in a studio setup. A LED torch with a paper snoot. One of my favorite basic setups when I shoot outdoors is when...

The latest Magnum Photo Agency member Max Pinckers talks about his latest work in Mumbai, India, couples escaping their family’s honour-based violence How do you communicate, through photography, what it’s like to live in a city like Mumbai? A city of such variety, ethnically and economically, one of total poverty for so many and free of want for a few. Traditionally, Western photographers have approached the city from a humanitarian perspective, using people – their expressions, gestures, moments of clarity – that...

Having born witness to the dramatic changes East London has undergone, an Italian photographer decided to preserve its gritty charm in his own way Dalston’s Ridley Road Market is an East London institution, but to a newcomer it can feel like an overwhelming assault of sights, sounds and smells. At once thrillingly vibrant yet strangely anachronistic, the market is the sort of place where you’re as likely to pick up a goat’s head or a Giant African land snail as you are hair extensions or an international phone card. It...
read moreCanon PowerShot G3 X real-world samples posted
I still feel that if a camera is poor at JPEG’s that camera is just not a good camera. Most cameras have RAW that you can do all the fixing up later. If you can get JPEG’s at the start it IMO speaks to said camera. The one full length shot of the man is just not sharp. The greens of the background are just bad. I saw the same thing with the Panasonic FZ-1000. My unscientific opinion is a 1″ sensor on a superzoom has its limits. Said FZ-1000 was returned. Based on the Sony RX 10, I ordered the mark ii the images look better...

read moreNikon D810A added to studio test scene comparison
Nikon’s D810A is an astrophotography-oriented version of the D810. It’s the first full-frame camera dedicated to astrophotography, and is better able to capture the hydrogen alpha spectral line. It also expands long exposure options, and has garnered speculation as to improvements in low light capabilities. We’ve already published some impressions and real-world images, but now take a look at its performance in our studio. Pay particular attention to Raw noise performance at high ISOs compared to its...

The Ralph imaging device Credit: Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. Over the last week or so, images from the New Horizons mission have been arriving back at Earth as the probe begins the 16-month task of returning data from its July 14th Pluto flyby. Launched in January 2006, the craft traveled 2.97 billion miles to pass just 7750 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet that was only discovered in 1930. Scientists have been interested in Pluto because they believe its moons may have been formed in similar...

read more11 of the Most Interesting Lenses in the History of Photography
For almost two centuries, the science and art of photography has allowed people to capture the world around them through carefully crafted lenses. However, not all lenses are created equal.

But the growth in DSLR usage for pro video applications may be rather short-lived: a recent report predicts that it will actually plummet over the next few years. After researching trends in camera sales, Futuresource Consulting found that European shipments of DSLRs for pro video purposes dropped by a...

read moreHow to Trigger an Off-Camera Flash with the Pop-up Flash
If you have ever wanted to explore off-camera flash but don’t know where to start, I have some good news. Many consumer-grade cameras such as the Canon Rebel series and the Nikon D3000 and D5000 models have a fantastic feature that might be just what you are looking for. One challenge with off-camera flash is that you need a way to fire them at precisely the right moment. That usually means outfitting them with tiny little remote controls called triggers, that are tied into a transmitter unit affixed to the flash hot-shoe on your camera. When...

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.
