Camera drones can be dangerous if not handled properly. Singer Enrique Iglesias found that out the hard way yesterday during a 12,000-fan concert in Tijuana, Mexico. During one song, Iglesias decided to reach up and grab hold of a camera drone hovering above him in order to give the fans a live point-of-view shot. Things didn’t go as planned. The DJI Inspire 1 drone took a dip while Iglesias was holding it, and some of his fingers were in the path of the blades. Iglesias quickly pulled his hand back in pain, throwing the drone to the...

Yesterday we shared some interesting before-and-after images showing the visual effects work that went into the hit Hollywood movie Mad Max: Fury Road. Here’s a second look at the film from a different angle: the composition. In the 1.5-minute video above, editor Vashi Nedomansky explores how keeping all the action in the center of each frame made the shots so effective and easy to follow. “Because almost every shot was center framed, comprehending the action requires no hunting of each new shot for the point of interest,â€...

read moreThe Cheap Camera Challenge – It’s Not All About the Camera
In my own classes, workshops and tours I tell my students that it is not the camera that makes good photos it’s the photographer. This video series by DigitalRev TV takes that statement to the next level with their Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera Challenge. In this instalment street photographer Gary Tyson is given a cheap camera in a wristwatch. See how he uses it to make some pretty decent photos, interacts with people and uses it to his advantage rather than it being a disadvantage. What can you learn from that video? What is the lesson...
read moreQuick Tips for Getting Into Stock Photography
Getting accepted as a stock photographer can be a difficult and frustrating process. Especially when your best photos get rejected by photo reviewers. After helping many photographers trying to become accepted as Shutterstock contributors, I have discovered how the process can instead become a fun and educational experience. Why become a stock photographer? Earning money on your digital photography work is a great way to earn an extra income. But it is often not the main motivation for why many people try to become contributors. Being...

@EricWN They don’t have because it would be killing the sales, be a engineering nightmare and it would be nightmare for support and brands when people lineup to whine how the image plane is off and they can’t get correctly focused photos. Many of us has dreamed that one day we could have those sensor modules swapped. I would even accept that if it would be required to be done via the manufacturer service where they swap the sensor module away to new one, keep the old sensor and then re-check that sensor is correctly mounted. But...
read moreReaders’ Showcase: Nicolas Alexander Otto
Does the topic of a photograph make the photographer better or worse? Is that topic too easy to be mastered? Would you consider him better just for shooting street shots? Imho just going out of the city and shooting his best pics shows that at least he put enough interest on photography to get up early and do a long walking way, take his time to take his shots… and that’s in my honest opinion more merits worthy than waking up at 10am, have breakfast and walk your city to take street shots. But that again, is my own humble opinion....

Milky Way, Jökulsárlón, Iceland. I waited until 1 a.m. on the only clear morning of my weeklong trip to photograph the northern lights. When they came out and the stars shone, it was magic. Canon EOS-1D X EF24mm f/1.4L II USM lens f/1.4 for 25 seconds ISO 1000 I have traveled to Iceland several times in my career to photograph the volcanic landscapes, the icebergs along glacier fed shores, even the diminutive and iconic Icelandic horses. It was on a trip in October 2013 however that I set out with the intention of...
read moreBattle of the Nifty Fifties: Canon’s 50mm f/1.8 Lenses
This year, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, also called the “Nifty Fifty†celebrates its 25th birthday. Yes, that’s right: this lens was released back in December 1990 and is the second oldest lens that’s still in production. Yet it still dominates the list of the most popular Canon lenses, and for good reason: it’s cheap, it’s fast, it’s small and lightweight, and it offers good performance for the price, which makes it the first prime lens for most Canon owners. But of course, being such an old lens does have its downsides,...
read moreJPEG Compression Test: Google Photos vs. JPEGmini
In this article I will take a look at Google Photos’ new photo compression performance. I’ve been using a program called JPEGmini for a couple years now to compress my JPEG images. Its compression of JPEGs is lossy, but it claims to do so leaving the perceptual image quality virtually unchanged. As far as I can tell, its claims are pretty accurate, and it has literally helped me cut the size of some of my picture folders in half. As I’m sure most of you are aware, Google just unveiled Google Photos, and with it announced...
read moreDIY: Making a Simple but Elegant Leather Hand Strap for a DSLR
I recently went to great lengths to solve a simple problem. I have a Manfrotto monopod that requires a little screw to attach my camera to the monopod. Without it, I can’t use it. The screws are cheap and no big deal… but, they are too easy to lose. My system has been to leave the screw in the camera at all times, which is effective… until I need to use a tripod. So everytime I want to make a time lapse, which is often, that screw has no home and it often runs away. I have left screws in other states because they have fallen out...

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.
