Portraits of Exotic Birds Recovering at Sanctuaries
While I’ve never been a bird owner nor have I ever been attracted to owning a bird, this new series, Earthbound by photographer Oliver Regueiro affected me in a profound way. I’ve been close to animal rights issues for a number of years (mostly with dogs and cats), but cruelty to any animal is a crime and needs more light shed on it. Whether it be from neglectful owners who are no longer or not willing to take care of their birds or even worse yet, the illegal smuggling of exotic birds (see the horrifying news segment below),...
read moreA Medium Format Shooter’s Photographic Process
Photographer Andrew Jamieson was recently asked to give a presentation at work on his medium format film photography process. Instead of sharing a slideshow, Jamieson filmed this beautiful 4-minute video that covers how he loads Tri-X film into his Hasselblad, meters and shoots his photos, develops his film, scans it into a computer, and post-processes the images in Photoshop. “I develop my own film, I do all my own retouching and I shoot with a range of digital SLRs, 35mm and medium format cameras,†Jamieson writes. “I’ve been...
read moreGuy Given Second Trip with Family After Sad Vacation Photos Go Viral
Some months ago, 34-year-old telecom worker Kevin Blandford of Louisville, Kentucky, won a free vacation to Puerto Rico from his job. His daughter was too young to make the trip at the time, so she and his wife stayed home. Blandford decided to document the entire trip with a series of sad-faced portraits showing that he wasn’t having a single second of fun without his family. Those photos went viral after he shared them online, racking up millions of views. They were so popular, in fact, that the hotel in Puerto Rico and an ad...
read moreEverything You Need to Know About Nikon AF Modes
If you’re a Nikon shooter who wants a better grasp of how your camera’s autofocus settings work, check out this 11-minute video by Steve Perry of Backcountry Gallery. He runs through all the most critical aspects of the AF system, from the types of AF (e.g. single, dynamic, group) to how to set your custom functions to suit your system to your style of shooting. While a good amount the information is applicable to other camera brands, Perry’s information is geared toward Nikon DSLR shooters who do action/wildlife photography....

read moreThe Biggest Legal Mistake Photographers Make
Whether photography is your bread and butter, or something that you’ve started out doing casually with machinations of eventually picking up a few paid gigs, you’ll want to acquaint yourself with a sexy little document we lawyers like to call, the Client Service Agreement (or CSA, for short). By Lucas CSAs are, as their name suggests, agreements that you, as a photographer, make with anyone who wants to pay you for your photography. Again, we’re not just talking to the professionals here. We’re also talking to those of you with your...
read moreReview: Flashpoint Zoom Li-on Flash
Raise your hand if this sounds familiar: you’ve fallen in love with Speedlight flash photography, but you gripe at having to lug around lots of odds and ends for your remote triggers, not to mention boxes of backup AA batteries. Isn’t it time for flashes to catch up with DSLRs and be powered by rechargeable batteries, and have more discrete wireless triggers? It turns out that these features DO exist, but not with Speedlights made by major camera manufacturers. Announced by Adorama earlier this year, the Flashpoint Zoom Li-on TTL...
read moreFujifilm X-T1 users to get significant boost in autofocus performance and function
New firmware has been announced for the Fujifilm X-T1 compact system camera that promises to overhaul its autofocusing performance and ‘introduces a new AF system’ to this X-series flagship body. Firmware version 4.00 will be available in late June, and seems to take significant steps towards solving issues with moving subjects and focusing in low contrast conditions. The firmware adds Zone and Wide/Tracking modes that allow users to select a group of AF points in a 3×3, 5×3 or 5×5 pattern,...
read moreCanon announces EF 50mm F1.8 STM lens
Canon has announced its EF 50mm F1.8 STM lens, which uses a stepper motor for quieter and more responsive autofocus compared to its ‘Mark II’ predecessor. It also features a 7-blade circular aperture and minimum focus distance of 35cm – both improvements over the Mark II. This compact fifty is just 39mm long and weighs 160g, has a metal mount, and supports an optional integrated hood as well as 49mm filters. The lens will be available later in May at a price of $129.99. Press Release: Canon...
read moreReaders’ Showcase: Sheila Murphy
My kind of photographs. I much prefer this kind of work to so much of the mirrored water, craggy hillside, super-saturated color landscape kinds of stuff that it seems are so common on sites like this. Photo #2 is a particular standout for me… but then again, I’m a sucker for finely detailed B&W, modern architecture and diagonal lines. It’s funny, but it seems to me that the photographers who I tend to admire the most are much more likely to be using compact and mirror-less cameras much more than what seems to be the...

While on a dive, Hawaii-based underwater photographer Timothy Ewing set up a camera and captured this fun little video of himself playing hide-and-seek with an octopus he was trying to photograph. “Octopus are one of the more intelligent creatures in the ocean. Sometimes they are too curious for their own good,†Ewing says. “If you hide from them they will come out and look for you.†Source Article from...
read moreA Moonrise Photo That Combines Day and Night
This photo may look like a Photoshopped image that blends a sunrise with a nighttime shot, but it’s actually a single exposure of a moonrise. Photographer Jeremy Somerville tells PetaPixel that made the photo last night while photographing the Milky Way from a beach. The moon started rising, and he decided to take some shots of the moonrise with the same camera settings he was using to properly expose the stars (15-30 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 1600, he says). After liking what he saw in a test shot, Somerville started his 10 second...
read morePhotographers: Every Email Could Be the Start or End of a Client Relationship
This is a short article that’s a reminder that every interaction you have is part of a relationship with someone — potentially a client. Recently I was looking for a food photographer for a web client. I wanted a local shooter and found one practically next door to the studio. Unfortunately, his online gallery showed text jargon instead of photos. I tried a different browser, but still no luck. I sent a screen capture to the photographer — after all, if it were my site I would want to know. Here’s his entire response: “I...
read moreTAAB is a Universal Lens Tab That Puts Manual Focus Control At Your Fingertip
Some lenses have tabs on their focus rings that allow photographers to precisely control focus with a push or pull of their finger. For those that don’t, TAAB is here to help. It’s a universal tab that can be used on most lenses, giving photographers greater manual focus control than simple focus rings. The patent-pending TAAB is built out of ultra tough neoprene and grips your focus ring tightly without any screws, glue, or zip ties. It’s like a tight wrist band that slides onto your lens. There are three different sizes: the...

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.
