 By Richard Barnden  A spawning aggregation is one of nature’s most fascinating spectacles. Thousands or tens of thousands, or even millions, of fish gathering for the purpose of spawning is a sight that comparatively few divers ever get to witness. For the small number of lucky underwater photographers who have the opportunity to shoot these exciting events, there are various photographic challenges that must be overcome if one is to take home compelling images.  ...

The decision to go pro with your photography business is a big step. It’s a time when the future is ripe with possibility and fears tend to run high. In what we call a “crisis of confidence,†you may find yourself comparing your work to other photographers and wondering, “am I really good enough?†or “will people give me a chance?†When you begin experiencing these thoughts, take a deep breath and remember this; almost everyone feels this way before they begin a new journey – especially if their dreams are on the line.

At ~$175, or less, whats not to like? I’ve seen worse image quality in cameras costing 2X this amount! When I shot film, I could easily spend more than $175 for 35mm film, development and printing just on a week-end vacation 🙂 Perfect camera for my wife and grandchildren. Also, I like the technology of the BSI sensor… http://www.adorama.com/alc/0012961/article/FAQ-Whats-a-Backside-Illuminated-Sensor HAGD, Bob Source Article from...

Back in 2010, San Francisco-based photographer Christopher Michel received a once-in-a-lifetime photo assignment from the US Navel Institute: to ride in the back seat of a U-2 spy plane at the “edge of space.†At the plane’s cruising and intelligence-gathering altitude of 70,000 feet above the ground, temperatures outside the plane fall to 70 degrees below zero. In the 3-minute video above, Michel shares a behind-the-scenes account of what the experience was like, along with a selfie he snapped in the air using a GoPro camera....

Editor’s Note: This is part a series on macro photography this week. Look for a new one each day. The next newsletter will have them all if you miss any! Here are 5 quick creative tips to help you with your macro photography: 1) Use Flash for Tiny Details While a macro lens with a 1:1 (one to one) ratio is a terrific tool for close-up work, so too is an external flash.

I hate digital noise. I’ve been a stickler about keeping it out of my images for years and have tried just about everything under the sun to aid in that process. So when Macphun offered to send over their new Noiseless Pro app I jumped at the opportunity (especially after seeing the promo video for it). Before we get started, let’s go over the basics of noise for those who are just dipping their toes in this area of post-processing. Noise is basically an unwanted side effect of shooting at high ISO levels or super long shutter speeds...

Having had a few weeks now to spend significant time exploring Flickr 4.0, I thought I’d write up a detailed post about my ongoing thoughts on the recent update by Flickr. 1. Autotagging Autotagging has received a mixed reception by the Flickr community as well as the broader press. Initially a lot of the Flickr diehards have very vocally opposed it. On the one hand, every time Flickr makes any change whatsoever a certain segment of the community will vocally oppose it no matter what the change is. The “who moved my cheese†crowd...

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.
