Ax Smash, or: How NOT to Deal with DSLR Errors
YouTube celebrity Casey Neistat made the photography world cringe and groan today after publishing a new vlog titled “Quitter,†which includes a particularly painful-to-watch case of violence against cameras. After repeatedly experiencing an error on his Canon 70D that caused him to lose footage, Neistat took an ax and destroyed both the camera and lens. The horror starts at 4:48 in the video above. Here’s a GIF showing what he did: Neistat then posted a photo on Instagram saying that his camera “had to be destroyed†because...

Gimbal stabilizers can be used to help produce smooth, high-quality video. However, inexpensive gimbals typically use heavy counterweights for stabilization, making them difficult to carry around, while more expensive models utilize precision electronics. A happy medium may soon be on the market; the California-based company, Neuvison, has announced their Kickstarter for the AutoSteady, an affordable electronic 3-axis gimbal stabilizer. The AutoSteady is designed to work with smartphones and, with an additional adapter, GoPro action...

read more8 Tips For Baby Photography Using Natural Light
Babies. Do you find them a challenge to photograph? They gurgle, spit, vomit, laugh, cry, smack their hands together… They do a whole lotta things that we don’t need to see forever in a photograph! But in between all that uncontrollable baby-behaviour are those moments that parents see every day and would love to keep alive forever in beautiful photos – the big eyes, cute smiles, tiny fingers, soft skin, and round cheeks – all those wondrous little details that only come with brand new life. Those are the things that connect to a...

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. Posing kids is a whole different thing from posing models (unless you’re photographing a child model, and then you might not need this article). My biggest goal when capturing kids is to help them look as natural as possible, so truly I want to “unpose†them. Stiff, awkward, posed shots aren’t...

read moreEditorial: Why I want a Leica Q (in which I mostly don’t talk about the Leica Q)
By Barnaby Britton I’ve always been fascinated by Leica as a company, but increasingly also as a business entity. In this industry, no other manufacturer has quite the same brand recognition nor quite the same apparent ability to float beyond the normal commercial concerns of – you know, actually selling cameras to as many people as possible at a price that doesn’t put them into cardiac arrest. The Q is styled after Leica’s classic M-series rangefinders while being both smaller and lighter. The red dot...

Eleson, actually “different markets” is a real thing. 🙂I do agree that aiming and hitting is a completely different thing, and canon just “aimed” …. time will tell if they hit anything :)) But, as an enthusiast, i know i look at completely different things in a camera than a professional. And it’s normal to be so:I care more about design and less about ergonomics as i don’t hold a camera 8 hours every day, and when i do, i want to like it 🙂 I care more about image quality, having 4k, etc, as even if i...

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.
