How to Get Started with Off-Camera Flash Photography – Start With One!

I was prompted to write this article in the hope of answering the many questions I get asked about flash photography: “I find flash photography very confusing…What do all those numbers mean at the back of the flash…What does TTL mean…What does flash-sync mean?” This article isn’t about explaining all the technical ins and outs of flash photography, far from it. Instead, I hope to show you how to get started using off-camera flash, by using ONE flash essentially. Okay, you will need a few other items but I’ll get to that shortly. Emmet sitting...

With the presence of light being a rather important constituent in the making of a photograph, it is no wonder that low-light conditions are often a photographer’s nemesis.

This article will walk you through my approach to post-processing an image...

Remembering the British deserters of World War One

Posted by on 16th, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

How do we remember the great war, when we’re shorn of documents from the battlefields? Chloe Dewe Mathews’ photography project Shot at Dawn “stamps the soldiers presence back onto the land.” Thirty-five days into the First World War, Private Thomas Highgate, a 17-year-old farmhand, became the first British soldier to be executed for desertion. During the Battle of Mons, Highgate fled the frontline. He hid in a barn in the nearby village of Tournan, a few miles south of the river, and was discovered wearing civilian...

ZTE launches Axon Pro with 13MP dual cam

ZTE has launched its new high-end device, the Axon Pro, which appears to be specifically designed with the US market in mind. In the camera department the new model comes with a dual-camera setup, similar to the one we’ve seen in the HTC One (M8). However, at 13MP the ZTE’s main camera comes with a considerably higher pixel count than the 4MP HTC.

No CGI: Tom Cruise Actually Rode the Outside of an Airplane Taking Off

We recently shared how the film Mad Max: Fury Road mostly used real stunts, physical effects, and compositing instead of relying on computer generated imagery. Here’s another (even crazier) example of people actually doing something on camera rather than using CGI: for a scene in the upcoming film Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, actor Tom Cruise was actually strapped to the outside of an a military transport plane while it took off. The film crew designed a special camera rig and mounted it to the side of the Airbus A400m airplane...
