read moreA Look at The Striking Low-Key Black-and-White Style of Film Noir Cinema

This week, we are taking a look at the visual style heavily relied upon by the film noir genre that was most prevalent in the mid 20th century. Through the exploration of Hollywood’s film noir visuals, we can learn a bit more about the history of cinema while finding inspiration for our own work. Film noir is a genre that encapsulates a number of dramas from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. The movies...
read moreA Mirrorless Affair Gone Wrong: A Cautionary Love Story
My Canon and I. We were like two peas in a pod. We met when I was just a young man, knowing nothing about love or how to use a camera. My Canon taught me so much so quickly. We would go out everywhere together and my Canon would teach me how to see things in a new light, see things that I’ve never seen before. My Canon was everything I could ever have wanted. Beautiful on the outside, but so strong and reliable on the inside. Zoom lenses, primes lenses, my Canon offered me everything I wanted, and helped me grow as person, and as a...

Take a look at this photo and remember what your initial thoughts are: Inlaid marble detail inside Taj Mahal, Agra, India, Asia Where was the first place you looked in the photo? What about the second? Some of the more interesting photos (and artwork in general) moves your view around the image, and often brings you back for more. When you take a photo, you know what you’re looking at and what is most important, but this doesn’t always come through in your picture, unless you make a concerted effort to help the viewer see the same thing....

read morePhotography in public places across Europe threatened by harmonization proposal
The right to use pictures taken in a public place is under threat by a European Parliament proposal for the harmonization of copyright laws across the region. Buried in a complex set of amendments is the idea that the automatic Freedom of Panorama be removed from those countries that maintain it, so that copyright holders of permanent artworks and buildings will need to authorize commercial use of pictures that include their works. On the face of it that doesn’t sound too bad, only that professionals who use...

I just installed an ANKR in my camera bag. Over the past 10 years I’ve had this reoccurring dream about my camera gear and my backpack being stolen. I’ve actually had two cameras stolen over the years, unfortunately. When you use your camera every day like I do, it’s a hazard to have to deal with. My friend Trey Ratcliff was jacked of his camera bag earlier this year. So I was very pleased to learn about ANKR. ANKR is a new product that allows you to track the geolocation of your gear. The ANKR itself is super small, not much thicker...

Flying an aerial drone over a raging fire can be quite problematic, so much so that it can endanger the rescue and recovery abilities of fire officials. Recently, two incidents created difficulties for fire officials trying to battle a 24,000-acre wildfire in Southern California. The drones were flown into airspace over the blaze that then prevented the department from using aircrafts in subduing the fire. According to NBC News, “the drones were hovering above the fire and directly interfered with firefighting aircraft being used to...
