If I were to start all over again, these are the stepping stones that I would have preferred to have taken, beginning with the technical and ending with the conceptual. Part 1: Learning the Technical 1. Look at Light When you start out in photography,...

Step by Step Using Merge to Panorama in Lightroom

Do you ever find yourself struggling to include everything you want to capture in a single frame? Well then, panoramic photography might be exactly what you need to solve this problem. With the new release of Lightroom 6, Adobe has made it possible to take multiple single frames of a panorama and stitch them seamlessly together with a few clicks of the mouse. Before we dive into the post production aspect of making a panoramic photograph, let’s take a step back and make sure you have a basic understanding of what you’ll need to capture...

NCTech announces single-shot 360 camera for Google Street View applications

UK imaging systems firm NCTech is to introduce a four-sensor single-shot camera that it says can create a 360 degree image of a street scene or an interior in less than two minutes, and which allows photographers to upload images directly to Google Street View. The iris360 uses four lens units in front of four 10MP sensors arranged at 90 degree intervals. The lenses are triggered simultaneously and the resultant images are stitched together automatically in-camera. The final JPEG image covers 360×295 degrees...

Samsung launches rugged Galaxy S6 Active

Samsung has launched a rugged version of its flagship Galaxy S6, the S6 Active. The new device is exclusively available through AT&T in the US and has a very similar specification to the standard S6.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 sample gallery updated

Posted by on 10th, Jun, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Alright, alright, alright. I am wrong. Thinking in terms of equivalence, f/2.8 x 2 for the m 4/3 crop factor makes f/2.8 equivalent to f/5.6. On full frame (yes, I know now, never treat m4/3 like full frame) when I’m more concerned with DOF than sharpness I try to stay below or near f/5.6 higher resolution sensors, which I’ve been shooting quite a bit with recently, are impacted by diffraction. It is a habit I need to get out of when shooting landscapes, thats for sure, and after talking to Rishi about it, f-stops equivalent to...

Super Zoom? Tamron SP 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 Di VC USD Field Test

Tamron SP 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 Di VC USD$1069 / £800 Tamron announced the SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD at the end of 2013, and as one of the cheapest ways to reach past a 400mm focal length, it quickly became popular with amateur wildlife and sports photographers. We’ve previously published a lab test review for this lens, but in order to get the complete impression, I wanted to spend some time with it out in the field, doing what this lens was designed for. The SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD is available with either...

Review: Capture Another Dimension with Samsung’s 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D NX Lens

Review: Capture Another Dimension with Samsung’s 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D NX Lens

From time to time, a lens will appear that we can’t help but develop a desire to test. Samsung released a 45mm f/1.8 NX lens, but neither the focal length nor the aperture are what make it attractive; this $500 lens can shoot photographs in not only two-dimensions, but three-dimensions. That’s right, this piece of kit brings 3D photos and videos to your Samsung NX series camera at the flip of a switch. The Samsung 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D NX lens won the best mobile imaging innovation award back at the TIPA awards in 2013, and is available...

Photographer Captures Twin Tornados Under a Huge Supercell Storm Cloud

A powerful storm rumbled by Simla, Colorado, last week, and at the scene was professional storm-chasing photographer Kelly DeLay, who captured this “shot of a lifetime” showing a massive supercell storm cloud extending twin tornados to the ground below. It’s a “shot of a lifetime for me,” writes DeLay. “I have been trying to get a shot like this for 6 years.” Here’s a crop of the photograph showing the two tornados in more detail: “When I chase storms, I like to stay back for the most part so I can see structure,”...

Have a Black Nikon S2 Rangefinder? It May Be Worth a Pretty Penny

Have a Black Nikon S2 Rangefinder? It May Be Worth a Pretty Penny

First introduced back in December 1954, the Nikon S2 is Nikon’s most common rangefinder camera with more than 56,000 produced. The highly-regarded camera still sells for $300 and up these days through sites like eBay — well, the silver version, at least. If you own or ever come across a black version of the camera, don’t let the simple difference in color fool you into thinking it’s the same thing: that camera may be worth 50 times as much! Over on eBay, there’s currently a listing for an all-black Nikon S2 with a hefty Buy...
