You Don’t Need a Pro Photographer For That
My friend Joanne received the above inquiry via her website and sent it my way for help in responding. The following is my suggestion. Dear Prospective Client, Thank you for visiting my website. I am thrilled that you liked what you saw and reached out to me with an inquiry regarding my services. If I understand correctly, you want to provide me with an SD card that I will use and give back to you so that YOU can retouch and order prints yourself. Now, if that is all you want, you don’t need a professional photographer for that… You...

Back on June 1st, 2015, landscape photographer Nicolaus Wegner was on the scene as a massive supercell formed over the Black Hills of South Dakota near Rapid City. As the stationary storm unfolded over several hours before Wegner’s eyes, he shot photos at one-second intervals with his Canon 5D Mark II and wide angle lenses. Afterward, he combined the photos into the 2-minute time-lapse short seen above, titled “Art of the Storm.” It was “truly one of the most beautiful natural weather phenomenon I have ever witnessed,” Wegner says....

Sunset on Long Beach Island (NJ) I watched the future football Hall of Fame quarterbacks practicing on the sidelines just before the Super Bowl. Although they had thrown the football perhaps millions of times before, they were practicing their throwing before the big game. They believe in the old (but true) saying, “Practice makes perfect.” It’s important for us as photographers to continually practice our skills as well. Although we may have pressed the shutter button a million times, we need to be sure that we are always “ready for the big...

read moreTamron and Sigma offer firmware update service for Canon EOS 5DS/5DS R live view issues
Tamron and Sigma have both announced updates for their lenses to provide full compatibility with Canon’s EOS 5DS and 5DS R models. Both firmware updates refer to behavior in live view shooting, something that has also caused problems in the Canon EOS Rebel T6s and T6i. This suggests that Canon’s latest models feature a change in the way they drive lenses. Tamron’s release states that for six of its lens models, autofocus doesn’t work with the 5DS/5DS R in live view. With Sigma’s lenses, the...

Hasselblad CEO, Perry Oosting, in the production area of the company’s Gothenburg HQ. Shot with the Hasselblad H5D50c-Wifi The appearance of the Hasselblad Lusso, a jazzed up version of the Sony A7R, in the Asian market will have filled some of the company’s followers with despair and supplied its critics with ammunition. Hasselblad’s recent foray into new product categories, via a relationship with Sony and an Italian design house, was not universally well received, to say the least. The project spawned...
read moreManfrotto launches XPRO Ball Head
Just buy an Arca Swiss or Really Right Stuff BH-55 and be done with it. My seemingly small BH-55 holds an insanely heavy 8×10 monorail rock steady with no play at all and doesn’t shake either, even when pointing it down to the ground at an angle. Even the super heavy duty Pan and Tilt heads can’t do that. The handles are hard to tighten and loosen, and under heavy loads, the camera always shifts a little before you get it tight enough. I used to think Ballheads weren’t practical for heavy loads, but the best ones are so...
read moreNative Versus Extended: The Science and Marketing of Digital ISO Ranges
Many digital cameras these days give you the option of selecting between the camera’s ‘native’ ISO range and a special ‘extended’ (or expanded) ISO range. If you are just starting out in photography, you may be confused about what each labeling means and whether or not there is a technical difference or if it just a bit of marketing. Today we’ll be taking a look at the differences between native ISO and extended ISO ranges. Native vs. Extended ISO Ranges Before explaining the differences between the two ranges, it is important to know...
