A Fair Fight? Shooting Film in the Digital Age (A Rebuttal)

I wish I hadn’t, but the other day I stumbled across an essay on PetaPixel entitled 12 Reasons  Photographers Still Choose to Shoot Film over Digital. Bravely, the writer had polled his associates who shoot film and culled their responses down to a dandy dozen. I shook my head sadly, because I’d heard them all many times before. But the worst part came next. I scrolled down to the comments section. I tried mightily to avert my eyes, but I couldn’t, and the lurid spectacle of grown men and women (but mostly men) verbally beating the...

Review: Voeloon V58 Speedlight for Canon

Review: Voeloon V58 Speedlight for Canon

I’m going to start with a small admission… I’ve always been about brand-name stuff. There, I said it… I have had Canon cameras since the a5 (it was the small, boxy predecessor of the Ixus range) and before that, Nikon film cameras (and during, come to think of it) and have always had the mindset that I should purchase Canon lenses for my Canon cameras, always thought that I should buy well known lights and tripods and… (the list, it goes on and on) More recently though, I’ve had less disposable cash (kids! yay) and when you add that to...

Editor’s note: this week we will be featuring a series of articles on posing for portraits. Look for a new one each day. If you miss any make sure you subscribe to our newsletter and you’ll get a reminder of all our articles once a week. When doing a portrait there is a lot to think about. You have to find a good location and background. The right lens needs to be selected. Camera settings are a consideration. The light needs to be just right. But if that’s all you focus on you’re forgetting something rather important. The person in front of...

Victorian photographs of the abandoned Dreamland amusement park in Margate, Kent

This month, Dreamland Margate will open to the public again for the first time in more than a decade. Photographer Rob Ball documented Britain’s oldest amusement park in the years leading up to its renovation. Ahead of a forthcoming exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery and a book published by Dewi Lewis, Ball talks about the project. At its peak in the 1960s, Dreamland Margate thronged with visitors. Millions of them, young and old, families and couples, piled into the seaside amusement park to laugh, flirt, ride the...

Week in Review: Sony FTW

Posted by on 14th, Jun, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

The fact that Leica built a factory in 2014 doesn’t tell us anything about its revenue, its operating expenses, or how it paid for the new factory. Was it financed, was it paid for with cash? If so, how does that impact Leica’s asset strength? My point is that you came here throwing around financial “facts” with no insight to them. I am in no way stating that Leica isn’t operating at a small margin, but neither of us has any facts to support that assertion. Also, it really needs to be said that Leica is...

Video Feature: Josh Trujillo and the Canon PowerShot G7 X in New Mexico

Posted by on 14th, Jun, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

A very nice job, this video, introducing a place, a camera, and a DPReview personality a little better, besides Josh himself. Would think it underlines photographic depth of accomplishments of Canon in the g7x, not least the advantages in the longer focal length abilities of its lens. Yorkshire topic. Well, there is a commonality I think , with there and New Mexico having a sense of wide open spaces, and if quite differently so, distinct regional personalities. I am thinking now of prairie and hillsides, along the Ribble around the Forest of...

Panasonic 4K Photo reaches to grab stills-from-video dream

The arrival of 4K video means that an increasing number of devices are effectively capturing prolonged bursts of 8MP images at fast frame rates, increasing the likelihood of capturing ‘the moment.’ Using a video feed to capture stills isn’t a new idea – Nikon’s first electronic camera, the QV-1000C, did it in the late 1980s – but the resolution of 4K makes it more useful. Panasonic has recognized this way of working and has introduced 4K Photo mode to its 4K cameras, to make things...
