Lighting Portraits to Bring Exposure to Homelessness in America
Photographer Aaron Draper wants people to see homelessness in a different light — literally. For his project titled Underexposed, he hit the streets with his camera and off-camera strobe in order to capture portraits of the homeless and “bring them into the light and out of the shadows for others to view and appreciate.” Draper, a professor of photography at Chico State University, says the goal of the series is to “make the homeless as visually appealing as possible in a society that is visually demanding.” “I use lighting as a way to...

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this trend where you live, but here in my city it seems like every second guy has a beard. Not just a goatee but a full-on, full face beard. So I thought I’d see if I could find a set of images that captures this current trend in society. I thought it was just Portland (Oregon) with its hipsters, but it seems that it’s spread. kashmir by Mahmoud Yakut on 500px – Bruce – by Rey Vladyc Mangouta on 500px Winter Skin by Juan García on 500px mr.

Nikon has issued a service advisory regarding the D750, specifically targeting units made in October and November 2014. An issue with the shutter in these units could result in shading in a portion of images taken with the camera. Nikon will examine and replace the shutter on affected models free of charge to correct the problem.

Phase One 645DF+ with IQ250www.phaseone.com This is a field test of the Phase One 645DF+ combined with the IQ250 digital back. The back can be used with other bodies, just as the body can be used with other backs, but what I will be looking at is the way they work together. It is worth noting at this point that the 645DF+ has recently been superseded by the Phase One XF camera system, which seems a little more modern, and the IQ2 50MP back is now the IQ3 50. Though the XF system is on the way, there are plenty of 645DF+...

He...

The shutter on certain cameras made in that window “may not function properly sometimes resulting in a shading of a portion of images taken.” To address...
read moreHow I Made a DIY Concave Flash Diffuser for Macro Photography
As long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with the small and wondrous world of macro imaging, predominantly as a macro videographer, but also in the stills realm as of late. One thing that is a constant in any form of creative imaging is the need to constantly update, modify and adapt the base equipment we are dealt when we make our already-expensive gear purchases. Recently, I’ve been focusing my attention on adapting photographic flash guns for macro photography. My ‘go to’ lens for macro is the infamously difficult MP-E 65mm...
