jnd, Um not really, starting with a jpeg those adjustments are much much more constrained than if you can start with a raw. iPhones shoot to jpeg, not really good jpegs either unlike the Fuji XT1. Nor do iPhones shoot directly to tiff, but wait only a few Nikons do that. So no, raw shooting, combined with good raw extraction software, is how to have much better control of the following: noise, WB, exposure, tint, optical compensation. Direct capture to jpeg allows for little adjustment to any of those things, before things go really wrong....

Leica’s Red Dot Forum warns of crash risk with Monochrom Raw files in Apple’s Photos App

Users of the new Leica Monochrom (typ 246) risk wiping out their Apple Photos library if they try to use it to store the DNG Raw files created by the camera. This comes from a statement published by Red Dot Forum, a website operated by folks who run the Miami Leica store. Mac computer owners running OS X Yosemite will find the files cause the library to crash, which Leica says could lead to all images saved in the library being destroyed. Leica says it is working with Apple to resolve the issue, and expects the fix to...

Photographer Reshoots Some of the Oldest Surviving Photos of New York

For the past two years, photographer Jordan Liles has been researching the life and work of George Bradford Brainerd, a lesser-known 19th-century photographer who shot 2,500 photos of New York before he died in 1887 at the age of 42. Starting in 2013, Liles has also been visiting the locations of Brainerd’s photos — some of the oldest surviving images of New York — recreating the shots to show how New York has changed over the past 140 years. Liles has so far recreated 28 Brainerd photos that were made between 1872 and 1887....

Be Careful When a Big Brand Asks for Your Photo

If you’re ever asked for permission to use a photo, be sure you know the scope of what you’re agreeing to before saying yes. Photographer Nikki MayDay Guardascione tells us that she got quite a surprise yesterday when a seemingly-simple photo request from Miller Lite turned out to be for much more usage than she originally thought. Guardascione, a wedding photographer who previously worked as a photographer and photo editor for AOL and NBC News, had shared a bridal party photo of groomsmen drinking Miller Lite through her Facebook...

Microsoft Launches Hyperlapse to Turn First-Person Videos Into Stabilized Time-Lapses

Back in August 2014, we reported that Microsoft was working on some game-changing software that would magically transform first-person videos into stabilized “hyperlapses.” Today, the company officially launched that software, called Hyperlapse, for Windows, Windows Phone, and Android. The software makes creating a hyperlapse as easy as recording video and inputting it into a program. Microsoft’s special computer vision technology will help smooth out your bumpy footage, speed past the “long boring parts,” and spit out a...

6 Reasons to Become a Nature Photographer

#1 An Ever-Changing Subject Nature photography never gets boring. Whether it be wildlife or landscape photography you are interested in, there is always a new angle you can introduce to your photos. For landscape photography, the weather is never exactly the same – clouds make unique formations, and the way sun rays cast over the scene in front of you are always very special. If you take photos of wildlife, then you will be forever capturing moments that will never be repeated. Take the example of two birds fighting on a branch: you will...

SHOWstudio – Nick Knight’s digital fashion concept

100 “It’s a way of capturing an image for where we live now, for how we live now, and how we work now,” says Nick Knight of live-streaming fashion shows. Digital fashion started in earnest in 2000, when photographer Nick Knight launched SHOWstudio.com. The site hosted the first-ever live fashion show the following year – a project called Sleep, in which nine models, dressed by stylists, retired to separate rooms in the Metropolitan Hotel in London for a night’s sleep. At midnight, SHOWstudio.com viewers started...
