4 Tips to Learn to Live Through Photography
The magic of an instant What is photography anyway? It is a fraction of a second of eternity that you try to capture, with better or worse technique, with deeper or shallower depth of field. But, in short, that’s all about photography, and it is this magic what makes photography an art. The essence of why many of us like photography, goes beyond what we can capture with our DSLR and show to others. It is the experience of the moment, and how one learns through the years to be aware of the present. It was just a few months ago when I learned...

The other day I was in the city and I was watching the clouds because they were moving so fast. It was a sign that bad weather was on the way, but I also knew the clouds would be a good opportunity to try some time lapse photography. There are many ways of taking a series of images to use for time lapse photography. My camera was setup on a tripod and set to take a photo every five seconds over 10 minutes. In total 120 images were taken, however that number is up to you. The other day I took 300 images to use for one. You can do this in...

c: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that what you claim makes “sense”. Sure seems to me that the F-18 was announced to be ready, and then a year or two later it was on carriers. Have no idea when it started, I’m sure it was in the late 1970s and I’m sure there were delays, but not ones that called the whole project into question. As I already said, the F22 flies, though it has an oxygen system which keeps killing pilots when it’s used at very high altitudes. If the aircraft is announced, approved, and then a...

After my public response to Taylor Swift’s open letter to Apple, I didn’t quite expect the phenomenal reaction it received. I knew it was provocative. I knew it was going to be risky and could possibly harm my chances of getting access to other concerts in future, but it needed to be said — out loud. When I thought hard about the possible consequences, and restrictions on my access to future work, I asked myself “What point is there in going to work if I can’t be paid for it, yet everyone else gets to benefit from my labor?”. The...
read moreHow to Read and Interpret MTF Charts for Lenses
Purchasing a new lens for your kit can be an expensive endeavor and the more information you know before making a purchase is always useful. You may have noticed that lens manufacturer sites tend to include what is known as a Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) chart. These charts help to give shooters a better idea of the glass’ performance, but they’re not the ‘end all’ answer for knowing whether a lens is good or not. Here’s an introductory guide on how to accurately read an MTF chart and how to take their readings into account for...

I’m a documentary wedding photographer, which means there’s a certain way that I work, and a certain style to the photography I produce. The end product of which is an accurate, beautiful document of the single most important day thus far in a couple’s life together. I want my clients to feel what they felt on their wedding day, years later when they’re reminiscing with their album. To do that successfully, I need to get in close — really close — to the action. But I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable being photographed, or indeed...

Hasselblad is a legendary brand name in the photo industry, but over the past few years the company has taken a hit in the eyes of some photographers by choosing to sell luxury, rebranded versions of Sony cameras. Starting with the Lunar back in 2012, Hasselblad made a habit of taking a popular Sony camera, redesigning the body with luxury materials, and then selling the “new camera” for multiples of the original price. But things are going to be different moving forward: Hasselblad is saying that it will no longer be spitting out...

Earlier I shared some images by photographers who braved the elements to take some bad weather images. Where there is adversity, often there is opportunity. When the weather takes a turn for the worse, don’t run for cover so fast. Look for photography subjects everywhere. Wet pavement, puddles, reflections, wind blowing the trees, evil looking storm clouds over the horizon – all can make for intriguing photographs.

LX100 is poor in useability such as: – No ND filer – no good for video– Fixed LCD – not for high/low angle shoot– No real auto lens cap – slows down the flow– No built in flash– LX100 has noticeable lens flare When you rescale them both to the same size, both has more less the same IQ. Yes, LX100 has faster lens while you zoom in half way, but it may be not enough to justify the size. BTW, I like PASM dial better b/c PASM dial has more options than just PASM, and it is easier to change the mode...

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.
