3 Tips for Avoiding Blurry Photos of Kids

One of the best things about kids is also one of the most frustrating when it comes to photographing them; they are so full of life and energy they rarely sit still, which can lead to an abundance of blurry pictures and heavy sighs when you go back to review your images. Instead of smiling faces and cute outfits, you often end up with a memory card full of photos where their cute little faces are a mishmash of fuzzy pixels, and any details in their hair or clothes are hopelessly lost. This is a chronic problem with photos of kids from...

7 Tips for Using the Gestalt Theory for Better Composition

Andrew’s newest ebook Mastering Composition is now on special for a limited time only at Snapndeals. Gestalt theory evolved in the 1920’s to explain some of the ways in which people perceive the world around them. The basic idea is that, when faced with a visually chaotic scene, the human mind simplifies it into more recognizable patterns and shapes. Gestalt theory provides an insight into the pattern recognition process that occurs when people look at photographs. Once you understand the principles of gestalt theory, you can use them to...

London exhibition showcases a new generation of conceptual photographers from across Africa

We talk to Eva Langret, curator of The View From Here at Tiwani Contemporary, about seven artists from across Africa, each capable of using photography to reclaim their own history. “Photography in Africa is controversial,” says Eva Langret, curator of The View From Here, an exhibition showcasing photography from Africa and its diaspora at Tiwani Contemporary, displayed until the 27 June. The camera, the exhibition posits, has been misused. Photographs have been misrepresented. It has objectified the African...

Tric is a wireless flash trigger for the iPhone

The LED flash units in smartphones are usually poor performers compared to the Xenon flashes in dedicated cameras or even external flashguns. If you feel your iPhone photography has been held back by your Apple device’s underpowered LED light, Tric’s new Kickstarter project might just be what you’ve been waiting for. The team behind Tric is looking to raise funds for the final development and mass production of a wireless trigger unit for the iPhone. The device will allow you to trigger flash guns with a standard...

Nikon 1 J5 and Samsung NX500 added to studio test scene

Posted by on 9th, Jun, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Follow-up: I’ve developed the two RAW’s using exactly the same parameters:– sharpening set to zero– CNR set to zero (default: 25) – that is, I’ve applied absolutely no noise reduction. (In ACR, LNR already defaults to zero, as opposed to CNR.) With the NX500, I’ve overridden ACR’s +1 tint (to zero; the same as the default for the NX1). This wouldn’t have changed anything WRT to noise, though. The exported (developed) results of the NX500 are significantly noisier than those of the NX1,...

“Even if they are half-murky, with a light things will be visible at short range, for instance close to the bottom.” Virtually all underwater cases come with a light attachment. “8 meter without a tank is definitely feasible but it will be a lot harder to keep the motion steady, not to mention maintaining it for more than a minute, than with this device. A lot, like.” Except that you can do 1 minute every two minutes and go on for hours. While this thing only has a realistic 45-minute battery. So, again, when you...

Readers’ Showcase: Alexander Jikharev

Glad that the Dpreview staff is not completely focused on gear heads only and presents these showcases (more please ..). Sometimes it looks that way because of the endless rants about the perceived ‘importance’ of DR, megapixels, AF in total darkness with the speed of light and then lifting the pitch black shadows, noise, photons and the list goes on and on …I often wonder how people even find time to take a decent picture between the thousands of postings they write on these ‘very important’ topics. Yes, I like...

Attending a Popular Event? Consider Leaving Your Camera at Home

Vivid is a festival of light and color thrown by the city of Sydney every year. Run by Destination NSW (the state’s tourism authority) and paid for by a mixture of state and business sponsorship, it’s an amazing looking event.

Oops: HTC Unveils its 24K-Gold One M9 with a Photo Taken with an iPhone

HTC today unveiled a new limited edition 24-karat gold version of the HTC One M9 smartphone.

Here’s the original Tweet that was posted earlier today to announce the new phone, which was launched to celebrate the end of the UEFA Champions League season over in Europe: While the photo does capture the sleek and shiny look of the new 24K phone, it also captured a reflection of the camera that was used to...
