Nikon Made a Doggy Camera Mount That’s Triggered by Heart Rate

Photographers often take pictures of things that touch them emotionally. Nikon wanted to help dogs do the same. As part of a new “Heartography” project, the camera company has created a doggy camera mount that uses a built-in heart-rate monitor to snap photos of things that excite the dog. The mount system features two sides: the heart rate collar and the special camera case. The collar is worn around the dog’s neck, monitor’s its heart rate, and constantly sends the number to the camera case wirelessly. The camera case...

Interview: Jeffrey Goldstein On Why He’s Suing Vivian Maier’s Estate

The Vivian Maier story has taken another ironic turn as Jeffrey Goldstein (who once owned the second largest collection of Vivian Maier negatives) has filed suit against the Vivian Maier Estate. The lawsuit is puts a dollar value on the work he has done if he’s forced to turn over his remaining assets to the estate. We talked to Jeffrey to find out why he filed the suit and what he sees coming next in the Vivian Maier story.The Chicago Tribune first reported that Jeffrey Goldstein had filed a lawsuit in the Cook County Probate court...

How NOT to Do Slow Motion for an Advertisement

A couple of days ago, the bourbon whisky brand Jim Beam posted a video to its Facebook page to promote its popular spirit. It was a repeatedly looped clip of its bourbon being poured into a glass with the pouring slowed down for effect. “Everything looks better in slow motion,” the caption read. Unfortunately for Jim Beam, whoever made the ad decided to simply slow down some ordinary footage. Instead of the smooth slow-motion you get when you film things with a high-speed camera, the “better-looking” “slow motion” just...

Get Excited About the New Adobe Lightroom CC

The day is upon us, my friends; Lightroom CC is here. The latest update to Adobe’s excellent photo management tool has arrived, and as cliche as it sounds, it really does offer something for everyone. While the updates won’t necessarily satisfy hardcore Aperture users (who are still licking their proverbial wounds), Lightroom 4/5 users can easily justify this upgrade as a satisfying mix of under the hood, and hands-on improvements. First and foremost, you’ll be ecstatic to learn that Adobe has released an independent version of the...

Fashion Photography – Tips for Making Something out of Nothing

Recently, I found myself in a conversation with a mentoring client who was feeling creatively stunted. I asked her where she wanted her portfolio to go and she said, “I want images like yours! But you live in California, and everything is pretty there!” I literally laughed out loud when she said that because California, while pretty, is filled with more urban yuck, specifically Los Angeles, than one can even imagine. I only wish I had infinity pools available to me, palm trees for as far as the eye can see, and no traffic to have to clone...

Fujifilm X-T10 First Impressions & Image Samples

Confusing lineup. This is a X-E series with the EVF at the center instead of the corner so is it a step up from X-E or runs alongside it? It seems Fiji is running two lines of APS-C mirrorless/EVIL cameras: X-Pro, X-E, X-M and X-T1, X-T10, X-A Source Article from http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7494662711/fujifilm-x-t10-first-impressions-review-posted

Palm-sized: Hands-on with new Fujifilm X-T10

Posted by on 18th, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

It is a nice 1930s camera. We live in 2015. I saw no mention of the public SDK and app system. Sure such camera will appeal to die hard retired people. Can Fuji and the other Japanese companies please enter into the 21st century. Wrist watches nowadays offer more like GPS, App support, gyro like, accelerometer (minolta had this 10 years ago), Bluetooth 4? How will this camera operate on a drone? How will it fit a film right? Really DPreview include some more modern criteria. Could 19th century knows and dials is not the modern enthusiast...

10 competitions to keep your photography inspired

Posted by on 18th, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I don’t just think it’s about “being adults” which is a fine point in and of itself – we should all read T&Cs before entering competitions. However, perhaps it would be best if DPR only listed competitions which don’t take all your rights or have insane indemnity clauses in them. There are so many competitions out there, even if you take out the dodgy ones there are still plenty to enter. Also, but listing them, it ‘slightly’ gives the impression DPR approve of them, especially when...

How to Survive as a Photographer in Today’s Industry

Posted by on 17th, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

There was a time in which anyone who could light a photo well was of value, but those people are of no value anymore, says artist rep Maren Levinson. In the 5-minute interview above, Levinson offers some great insights into how the photography industry has changed over the past several years and what photographers need to do to stay relevant and needed. “The only reason to hire a professional and pay the rates that allow them to make a living is if they can offer something that you can’t get somewhere,” Levinson says. “And the...

Idea: Use a Long Exposure at Night to Shoot a Starry Double Image

This starry double exposure-style photograph was made using a single long exposure. Photographer Ted Schiele was 190 seconds into a long exposure photo of the night sky when he heard a car coming down the road. He then pointed his camera down towards the car and exposed the camera for another 13 seconds as it approached. Schiele says the 203-second exposure was shot with a Nikon D7100 at 18mm f/3.5 and ISO 320. You can see a larger version of it here. “I didn’t really know what to expect when I did it but I’m pretty happy with...

Abstract Macro Photos of Menstrual Blood Capture the Beauty of Life

“Beauty in Blood” is an ongoing project by Denver-based artist Jen Lewis that consists of abstract macro photographs of Lewis’ own menstrual blood. The project was born in 2012 after Lewis was encouraged by her doctor to switch from using tampons and pads to a menstrual cup. “The cup is a much more ‘hands-on’ approach to menstruation management so my relationship with my body began changing immediately following the first use,” Lewis tells the Huffington Post. “One day, when I had some blood on my fingers after emptying...

Shooting Simple Product Photos with Printer Paper and a Window

Indian photographer Kunal Daswani created this short and sweet beginner’s tutorial on how you can easily shoot a product photo using natural window light and a few sheets of white printer paper. The basic idea is that you can made yourself a miniature seamless white backdrop by taping some white paper up on a board or vertical surface that’s next to a bright window. To soften the lighting on the side opposite the window, use another piece of paper to bounce light back onto your product. Using just his iPhone 6 Plus, Daswani shot...
