The latest issue of the oldest photography magazine in the world, available to buy now, has been put together to coincide with the opening of the contemporary music photography show We Want More at The Photographer’s Gallery, curated by BJP Deputy Editor Diane Smyth, from 17 July to 20 September 2015. ...

A project shot in Los Angeles explores the difference between wanting to belong and actually belonging To what extent is the photo-based book a viable or effective way to express photographic practice? This is the question Nicolas Silberfaden was asked to consider while studying for his MFA at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. He responded with 738, a project exploring the city. “We were pushed to think about photography, and to work on personal projects that not only meant something to us, but that could also...

Raymond Cauchetier’s name is synonymous with his candid shots of nouvelle vague stars, but his career goes far beyond set photography. A new exhibition at the James Hyman Gallery, including never before editioned photographs, brings him to reflect on his unusual path. “I’m famous here for Nouvelle Vague photographs but far more famous in Indochina for pictures like these,” Raymond Cauchetier says, gesturing to two pictures taken during his time in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. They are the only ones in the James Hyman’s...

Korean lens manufacturer Samyang has announced two versions of a new 100mm macro lens. The 100mm F2.8 ED UMC Macro is designed for stills photographers, while the 100mm T3.1 VDSLR ED UMC Macro is aimed at those shooting video. The lenses are essentially the same internally, using 15 elements in 12 groups (although the schematic shows only 14 elements) but the VDSLR version is fitted with an uncoupled aperture ring and gears around both aperture and focus controls. The 100mm T3.1 VDSLR ED UMC Macro The 1:1 manual focus...

read moreInstagram stores higher resolution images
After its recent app update it seems Instagram has further improvements up its sleeve, as the mobile image sharing platform has started storing higher resolution images on its servers. In the app and on the web interface, as before, images are still displayed at the small 640 x 640 pixel size, but a look at the website source code reveals that images are now actually stored at 1080 x 1080 pixels. This update is not exactly groundbreaking and the images still won’t be suitable for large-format printing in high quality. Services...
read moreG whiz: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 review posted
Prior to posting (ie. complaining) I searched the specs on the A7R, A7S, and A7 II, but I overlooked the A7R II (it’s getting hard to keep up with all the variations!), but yes, it is quite out of my price range, even without any lenses. I keep hoping that Panasonic, or Olympus, or Samsung, or Fuji, or Pentax will release something with 4K and IBIS, but so far, no luck! Excepting the A7R II, it continues to be an either/or proposition for now. At least I have my LX100 to supplement my DSLR. Source Article from...
read moreTravel: Zoom! Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V real-world sample gallery
I love the brightness, contrast, colors and sharpness on most close up ISO80 photos, where zoom hasn’t been used. I don’t see that much noise in the photos, which is great. BUT…. The high zoom 30x photos, seems to have a very soft and unsharp IQ? I don’t recall it that bad on other 30x zoom cams. Maybe it is the same with other 30x cams, but it doesn’t look good on the HX90. To me the 30x zoom seems to do better on other cams. Source Article from...
read morePhotographer Captures a Crow Riding on the Back of a Bald Eagle
Capturing animals riding other animals seems to be a new trend in wildlife photography. First there was a weasel riding a woodpecker. Next was a raccoon riding an alligator. The latest: this photo of a crow hitching a ride on the back of a bald eagle. It was shot by California-based amateur photographer Phoo Chan, who watched the image go viral online over the past several days. “Crows are known for aggressively harassing other raptors that are much bigger in size when spotted in their territories and usually these ‘intruders’ simply...
read moreStanding Up for the Concert Photographer… By Standing on Their Neck
Last week, the Washington City Paper made a stand against what it considered an unfair concert photography contract presented by the Foo Fighters with an article entitled “Why We’re Not Photographing The Foo Fighters.” Concert photographers everywhere stood up and slow clapped for the headline, the main idea of the article, and the stand it took on photographers rights. In the last paragraph of the article however, the City Paper did something even worse to photographers than the Foo Fighters ever could have: they called on the fans to...

A new idea by Hillary Clinton is going viral on the Web, and this one has nothing to do with government policies. While walking through the streets during the Independence Day parade in Gorham, New Hampshire, yesterday, Clinton’s aides used ropes to contain and control photographers and others members of the press corps. Photos of the unusual “wrangling” quickly went viral online after being shared by reporters.USA Today calls this moving parade rope line a new “Clinton innovation“. New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman was on...

Photographing people in their natural environment can produce amazing photos, and tell a story. But it can also be incredibly challenging, as you will have to work fast and adapt to the location. Follow these simple steps and you should capture some great environmental portrait photos: Use a wide-angle lens The nature of this type of photography is that you need to capture the person’s surroundings, and to do that you will need a wide-angle lens such as 24mm, 28mm or 35mm lens. This will allow you to get close enough to avoid things coming...

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.
