The app will show you the exact times for morning magic hour, sunrise, evening magic hour, and sunset for your specific location. A quick glance at your wrist will tell you what you need...

Here’s a Way to Create a Time-Lapse and Real-Time Composite in 5 Minutes

Here’s a Way to Create a Time-Lapse and Real-Time Composite in 5 Minutes

My name is Kyle Hart, and I’m the founder of Rhino Camera Gear. In this post, I’ll be sharing an easy technique for combining a real-time camera move with a time-lapse to create a simple composite without doing any rotoscoping. Compositing has been around for ages, but it’s only accessible to filmmakers with compositing programs like After Effects, and even if you have it (like me thanks to Creative Cloud), you probably have no idea how to use it. My goal was to take time lapse to another level, while making it simple enough for...

Photographing Marine Life with a Surf Setup

Photographing Marine Life with a Surf Setup

  By Craig Parry   When I started photographing my friends surfing, I used (of course) a surf housing. But when the time came that I wanted to start photographing marine life, I couldn’t afford to buy another housing for scuba diving or freediving, and had to rely on my surf housing. Since then I have just continued experimenting with surface marine photography and the benefits of using a surf housing.      Benefits of a Surf Housing for...

How to Give Your Macro Photography a Fine Art Touch in Post-Processing

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! Macro photography is very popular and you will find lots of images, of all sorts of subjects on the internet. People spend a lot of time taking the photos, planning them, setting them up, and getting all the gear they need to get all the shots they want. Then the photos are loaded onto the computer and minimal processing is done to them. With this tutorial we are going to look at how you...

How to Make Your Photos More Interesting with a Human Element

I believe that when someone asks how to improve their composition, that what they’re really asking is how they can make their photos more interesting. The skill of composition is in arranging the elements of the scene in such a way that the resulting image is aesthetically pleasing, and interesting to look at. Composition involves using techniques such as including leading lines, isolating the subject, exploiting tonal contrast, deciding what to leave out of the frame, and so on. But none of this matters much if your subject matter is...

Augustin Rebetez: Method man

Posted by on 21st, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Augustin Rebetez’s wildly creative approach to image-making – and more – creates an alternative universe that pushes the boundaries of photography “What is a photographer today?” asks Stefano Stoll, director of the biennial Images: Festival des Arts Visuels de Vevey. “There are plenty of shows and museums that ask this question. Now everybody has a smartphone and is a photographer – compare that to the 1960s when only a few people had a camera and there was no digital. It’s a very different world.”...

Ona introduces black version of the Leica M edition Berlin ll bag

Posted by on 21st, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I have a Brixton (in Cognac leather) and it’s wonderful. I carry it every day in all weather, it’s been soaked, snowed on, dusty, and it just keeps getting better and better looking. It’s leather and therefore a bit heavier compared to canvas, but I get a lot of compliments and nobody knows it’s a camera bag. I’m not really a fan of the buckles that they use, when the clasps are open, they clack-clack-clack when you walk, and when closed, the pointy center bit of the buckle sticks out. Luckily you can unbuckle...

Oppo launches R7 and R7 Plus

Chinese manufacturer Oppo has today launched its new duo of flagship phones, the R7 and R7 Plus. The R7 features a 5-inch 1080p screen while its 6-inch screen with the same resolution places the Plus model firmly into phablet territory. However, screen size is far from the only difference between the two models. In the camera department both smartphones combine a 13MP sensor with an F2.2 lens but the R7 Plus chip is, like the Huawei P8, of the RGBW variant and supported by laser-AF and a dual-LED flash. The R7 comes with a...

My OM2n with its 35-105mm “kit” style lens weighs as much as any modern APS-C Nikon!! Two of them with the aproppriate lenses in their bag weigh me down, terrible.Never wear a camera bag or camera on one shoulder, though, as most “pros” do, stupid.Every pro knows how bad for you carrying a bag on one shoulder is. Commonly colleagues would wind up at osteopaths, because you need to wear the shoulder bag across your torso, with the bag in front of you .Using a heavy DSLR this way works wel,l as when not actually taking...

Look at the test details, for example, in the right lower corner, the color tube, for example the cap of the tube, the details are all present and with finer resolution then, for example, the Nikon D7200 (raw, 100 ISO. But increase the iso and the sony a6000 is even performing better. (Not to mention the Fujis, they are a little bit behind, but have a high iso sensitivity and less noise) ). Or take the small test charts in the corner, the sony a6000 is showing the smallest and finest details, in contrast to most of the other APS-Cs, including...
