Kipon’s EF to MFT Adapter Has Impressive AF Speed
Last month, Kipon announced the world’s first autofocus-capable adapter for using Canon EF lenses on Micro Four Thirds cameras. If you’ve been thinking about picking one up, here’s some good news for you: the autofocusing speed appears to be quite fast. Japanese Kipon distributor SHOTENKOBO has released the 2-minute video above that shows some tests of the adapter using a Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS lens on a Panasonic GX7. “This is the first time an adapter has done AF this quickly,†writes EOSHD. “As we know, it often takes 5...

Photographers often use products such as the Lens Skirt when shooting through windows in order to reduce or remove reflections. Thanks to advances in computer algorithms, those physical tricks may soon find themselves alongside suitable software solutions. Scientists at MIT have created an algorithm that can automatically remove reflections from photos that were taken through windows.MIT News reports that the software is able to analyze an image and distinguish between reflected light and transmitted light. The trick is that...
read more7 Things I Learned From Shooting One Portrait a Day for a Whole Year
Essentially conceived as a New Year’s resolution, I gave myself the challenge of producing one portrait every single day during 2013. I’ve had a passion for portraiture for some time, and I figured that at the very least, I would create some portraits that I am proud of by attempting this challenge. There were only a few rules for this project with the main rule — which I never broke — being that I must go out every single day and create a portrait. I never shot several on one day and stockpiled images — each portrait was...

Wedding photographer James Day tells us that he recently pulled off the “craziest stunt†of his career thus far: delivering the final wedding album to the newlywed couple at the end of their wedding day. The bride, Jane, is the identical twin sister of Day’s wife, and the groom, Michael, is himself a successful wedding photographer in Australia. “I knew I had to do something absolutely insane for [them],†Day writes on his blog. “I just had to go all out […] This is without doubt the biggest stunt I’ve ever pulled off....

read more5 Reasons You Should Learn Long Exposure Photography
Long exposure imagery is an interesting and highly satisfying technique of creating images. It requires you to use the manual mode or sometimes shutter priority mode to control your shutter speed. Shutter priority mode is marked on Nikon camera with ‘S’ and on Canon systems with ‘Tv’. They mean the exact same thing. When you switch to shutter priority mode you can select the shutter speed while the camera selects the appropriate aperture. Obviously if you need a bit more flexibility, you should use the manual mode, where both shutter...
read moreThe Power of Keywording in Lightroom
I have to admit, I did not know about keywords in Lightroom, or their powerful uses, until a couple of years ago. During one of Julieanne Kost’s tutorials, I heard the terms and saw it being used in a very practical sense – a way to add specific descriptors to images in a catalog. I was intrigued and the more I researched them, the more I realized what an amazing and awesome tool was available right at my finger tips. Descriptive and Specific Keywords assigned to an image in Lightroom In the simplest sense, Keywords in Lightroom are a...

Olympus has just announced a pair of wide-angle ‘Pro’ Micro Four Thirds lenses, and over the past few days we’ve been able to do a little shooting with them. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm F2.8 and 8mm F1.8 Fisheye bring some new options to the table for Micro Four Thirds shooters, being faster than existing Panasonic lenses of the same focal lengths. We’ve put together a couple of preliminary sample galleries – take a look. See our M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm F2.8 Pro real-world sample...
read moreHands-on with new Olympus PRO 8mm and 7-14mm lenses
The new ultrawide weighs 550g. To put this in perspective, the Panasonic 7-14 f/4 is 300g and Nikon’s full-frame 14-24 f/2.8 is 1000g. I’m going to stick with the smaller, lighter and cheaper Panasonic, which is already razor sharp (although not weather-sealed like the M. Zuiko, and useable only on a Panasonic body because of purple fringing and purple flare). Still, Olympus’s three professional zooms look great. Source Article from...
read moreOlympus expands wide angle offerings with 7-14mm F2.8 and 8mm F1.8 ‘Pro’ lenses
Olympus has announced two additions to its Micro Four Thirds ‘Pro’ lens series, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm F2.8 and 8mm F1.8 Fisheye Pro (14-28mm and 16mm equivalent focal lengths, respectively). Covering the same ranges as Olympus’ 7-14mm F4 and 8mm F3.5 Four Thirds lenses from the mid-2000s, these new lenses offer faster maximum apertures. The 7-14mm F2.8 features weather sealing to protect the lens from moisture and dust and matches the existing Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm for coverage,...

Olympus has announced it will produce a limited number of Titanium OM-D E-M5 II units. The company hasn’t provided many other details, only that the camera will be available in June like the wide-angle Pro lenses also announced today. The limited edition E-M5 II will offer all of the same features and specs of its standard siblings, with its top and bottom plates swapped out for dark metallic versions that match those of the OM-3/Ti from 1994. Olympus wasn’t able to confirm for us how many Titanium units will...

The same way Ferrari can keep producing motorcars that can’t even keep a battery charge worth a flip. You’d think by 2015 they’d have a better solution than a battery conditioner (tender). That said, this 50mp Canon is firmly in MF territory; definitely as a strong alternative to renting MF camera, back, lenses, renter’s insurance, deposits, travel, shipping time, shipping costs, etc.. This Canon can be a money saver on many fronts for many photographers. For many others, the reason to consider MF systems over a camera...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
