10 Tips for Better Cityscape Photography

This article is based on the new eBook: Landscapes, Cityscapes & Photography Tricks – 50% off for a limited time only. Photography is escapism. We want to see what we can’t with our own eyes; towering skyscrapers, endless skylines, the people of faraway cultures. We long for the distant, so it makes sense that cityscape photos are so popular and marketable. I hope these 10 tips will help you take better cityscape photography, and inspire you to explore faraway cultures. 1. Right After Sunset is a Fantastic Time for Cityscape Shots...

How to Protect Your Camera in Extreme Weather

If you love to photograph nature, you surely know how unpredictable, and often hostile the elements can be. While we may get a sniffle or a chill from bad weather, the electronics inside our cameras are much more sensitive. A little water, some sand, or extreme temperatures can cause your camera to temporarily malfunction or even suffer permanent damage. When the storm clouds roll in, it’s important to know how to take good care of, and protect your camera gear. Moisture Whether it’s full-on rain or just intense humidity, moist conditions...

Microsoft launches its Hyperlapse app

Microsoft launches its Hyperlapse app

In August 2014, Microsoft introduced its hyperlapse algorithm for stabilizing camera footage into smooth timelapses. Now, the technology comes to life as the company has released the product as an app for Windows Phone, and as a beta app for Android devices as well as other Microsoft platforms. The problem Microsoft Hyperlapse (not to be confused with Instagram’s Hyperlapse) tries to solve is that long first-person videos are boring to watch. Speeding them up makes them more entertaining, but doing this amplifies the jostles...

Please Reply #yes to Give Us Unlimited Rights to Your Photo

Yesterday we shared how one photographer was surprised when a casual request to “share” her Facebook photo turned out to be a request to use it in a national TV ad. Unfortunately for photographers, it seems more and more companies are requesting photos in similarly subtle ways. Photographer Tony German tells us that Samsung UK recently left a comment on an Instagram photo that was taken with the Samsung Galaxy S3, asking to use it to show what the company’s products look like. It may seem like a simple request to casually share...

How to Turn a Photo Into a Painting with Photoshop

I recently had the absolute pleasure of meeting and shooting with Mackenzie Johnson! Today I’m going to share how I turned my portrait of her into a painting. Not everyone is a painter, but with a little time and patience — and Photoshop — I believe anyone can achieve this effect. If you haven’t heard of this lovely young lady, kindly press play on the video below… I’ll wait. So as I’m hoping you’ve gathered, she is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter and a sensational YouTube star. Turning a photo into a...

Hacking a Vintage 1950s Lens for a Modern Mirrorless Camera

Photographer Mario Nagano has a new camera lens that will undoubtedly draw quite a few looks from fellow photographers: it’s an old lens from a 1950s bellows camera that has been converted into a Micro Four Thirds lens for his Olympus OM-D E-M5. Over at the Brazilian website ZTOP, Nagano writes that the project started when he came across an old Voigtlander Bessa I medium format bellows camera from the 1950s and noticed the Color-Skopar 105mm f/3.5 lens on the front. The Color-Skopar is based off the Carl Zeiss Tessar, which was...

The First 21 Days of a Bee’s Life Seen in 60 Seconds

Here’s a fantastic 6-minute TED Talk by photographer Anand Varma, who recently became involved in the preservation of bees after being asked by National Geographic to shoot a story on them. As part of the work, Varma shot a fascinating time-lapse that shows the first 21 days of a bee’s life in just 60 seconds. Seen between 2 and 3 minutes in the video above, the video offers a closeup look at how bees grow from tiny larvae into mature honeybees inside their brood cells. National Geographic’s PROOF has published an article on this...

Lee Thatcher: A life less ordinary

4010 Lee Thatcher on his shrouded, unnerving, black-and-white portraits of urban existence “I don’t really think too much about the digital revolution,” says Lee Thatcher. “I wasn’t into photography before digital. What was more important to me was the mobile revolution. If it hadn’t been for having a camera on my phone that was easy and fun to use, I probably wouldn’t have started photography.” Lee Thatcher is a relatively late starter in the photography world – his interest began at the age of 36, but...
