Sigma announces price and release date for its 21mm dp0 Quattro compact camera

Sigma UK has said that the company’s latest compact camera from the Quattro line will cost £899.99 and will be available from the end of June. First announced at the CP+ show in February this year, the dp0 Quattro is the fourth of the unusually designed Quattro range and features a 14mm F4 lens. With the 23.5×15.7mm Foveon image sensor this focal length delivers a similar angle of view as a 21mm lens would on a full frame system. The unique three-layered Foveon sensor used in this model outputs Raw images that...

Fujifilm XF 16mm F1.4 R WR real-world sample gallery posted

The Fujifilm XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR is a weather-sealed prime, equivalent to a 24mm field of view on Fujifiilm’s X-mount cameras. With a close focus distance of just 0.15m/6in. and a fast F1.4 aperture, this lens is super versatile. In our sample testing we found it to be sharp, and to offer pleasing bokeh. Please note: Our gallery is a mix of images shot with both a beta and final version of this lens. We have indicated which images are which in the caption info. However, from our experience with both, we saw no truly...

toni2Yes, get personal now. Everyone is narrow minded and cannot see beyond their noses, only you are bright but the only thing you people can do is complain and moan.So DSLR’s can’t even focus now? That’s funny. I bet if next month Canon would come up with a 1DX in a rebel body for 500$ half of the people here would still complain. Everybody likes to get new features and more extras for their money, that’s not the point. I’m not defending any brand, i owned Pentax, Panasonic, Canon and Nikon also.I just hate the...

Dear Canon and Nikon, I Have Some Suggestions

Dear Canon and Nikon, Last November, a spacecraft which had traveled 6.4 billion miles over ten years successfully landed on a comet. A COMET. This means we can now do ANYTHING, which is why I am writing you today with a list of suggestions, nay, improvements that I hope you will consider implementing in future DSLRs. None of the suggestions are as daunting as landing on a comet, I assure you. Let’s get the idea machine started! Warmed Hand Grips Let’s face it, shooting while wearing gloves is the pits. Those little dials and...

Long-Exposure Portraits Lit by Glowing Plankton

Photographer Eric Paré has built much of his career around the concept of light painting, but a recent photo shoot he did involved a very different source of lighting: the bioluminescence of glowing plankton. “Basically, those little creatures can emit light when activated. So we simply ran into the ocean like crazy and it started to glow,” Paré tells PetaPixel. Specific types of plankton have the ability to glow when startled in order to distract or confuse predators. The light helps attract bigger predators that eat the...

Here’s a Trick for Adjusting Past +/- 100 in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw

Here’s a Trick for Adjusting Past +/- 100 in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw

In this post, I’ll share a trick I use to get some adjustments “beyond” +100 or -100 in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. In the screenshot above, I like how most of the image looks — the bird and the branches are well exposed, at least. But the blue sky got blown out to almost pure white. I already moved the Highlights slider down to -100 and it’s still pretty white. I want to go past -100. So grab the graduated filter tool — the G key or the button that looks like a vertical gradient in the row of buttons along the top. The...

I Wrestled with Death Twice To Live For Photography

This is the story of how I wrestled with death twice to live for photography. Before I wrote this article, I told a couple of people about it since it means so much to me. Although some didn’t understand how I could talk so openly about this topic, I decided that it’s my duty to generate awareness and help others even if it means that I’m revealing my biggest struggle in front of the world. Ever since I could think, I loved being creative. I drew a lot of pictures when I was younger and not one day passed where I didn’t build...

Seeing in Depth of Field: A Simple Understanding of Aperture

Seeing in Depth of Field: A Simple Understanding of Aperture

Photography can be simply defined as: painting with light. When you are painting with light, you are creating a story in a split second. That’s what photography is all about. Technically, your camera is measuring the light in the scene, and you are telling it how much of that light you want to use to create a properly exposed image. This becomes your story. There are three main settings used to control that light; Shutter Speed, ISO and my favorite, Aperture. Each of these settings has its own individual way of measuring light. When all...

Hands-on with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7

Posted by on 19th, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

As my DSLR FF is too bulky, for the sake of portability, I recently got the GM1 with 12-32 kit lens and was quite satisfied with the IQ it produces (especially when shooting RAW). It seems the G7 is employing the same sensor (well, no new sensor!) of other family members (GX7/GF7/GM5/GM1) but with a newer/more powerful processing engine, I believe the IQ should be even better. While the support of 4K video is for sure a future proof feature, the introduction of diffraction compensation is nice to have (or it’s just a kind of gimmick,...
