Options and Choices for Photographers To Help You Avoid Injury

Have you been noticing little aches and pains lately, especially around your arms and back? If you do a decent amount of photography, your camera may be the culprit. While photography is largely seen as a hobby or art form, make no mistake about the fact that lugging gear around can be serious physical activity, especially as you accumulate more gear over time. Consider this: a Canon 5D Mark III body only weighs 1.9 lbs (860 grams), and a Canon 70-200 f/2.8 telephoto lens weighs 3.28 lbs (1.49 kg). Combine the two, and you’ve got over 5 lbs...

There are many differing opinions when it comes to black and white photography. Some photographers love it, and shoot black and white exclusively, while other photographers absolutely shun the notion and shoot only in color. Then you have the majority of our lot who fall somewhere...

Emi Anrakuji – ‘1800 millimetres. It’s the size of my bed’

Posted by on 10th, Jul, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Trapped in her own private hell she began to explore photography – by way of the intimate folds of her body. The result is an unorthodox series of self-portraits that seem both liberating and oppressive in equal measure. The elusive Emi Anrakuji. Her work seems to have exploded onto the photography scene in early 2000, attracting the attention of Daido Moriyama in 2004. “He was very much impressed,”...

CamSwarm app may soon allow for easy capture of bullet time sequences

The so-called bullet time effect, as seen in the 1999 movie ‘The Matrix,’ freezes action while simultaneously changing the angle of view. Creating the effect has always required a large array of cameras and a lot of expensive electronic components to make sure shutters are perfectly synchronized. With the technology becoming more affordable, we have seen amateurs experimenting with the technique, including one effort that used an array of 50 Nokia Lumia 1020s. Despite advances in technology, it is still expensive and...
