read moreField Test: Sigma 19mm, 30mm and 60mm F2.8 DN lenses
The size of the Micro Four Thirds system might surprise many DSLR owners, and many Micro Four Thirds camera owners too for that matter, as it has been growing at a pretty steady pace for the last six years. Between the ‘big names’ Olympus and Panasonic, and third-party contributors like Sigma, Tamron, Samyang, Voigtländer, Tokina and Kowa, there are now about 55 dedicated lenses available for Micro Four Thirds cameras. This exceeds by many times the size of the systems available to other compact system...
read morePricing and availability for Tokina AT-X 24-70mm F2.8 Pro FX made public
I see what you mean, but this is an enormously difficult lens range to build and please everyone. I think 24mm is wide enough, and a few extra mm at the wide end is a big task that would result in other compromises.Distortion, focus speed, CA, focus shift, size, weight, across frame sharpness at all focal lengths, filter size, min focus distance,vignetting, flare control, price, bokeh are all factors. This lens truly has to be a master of so many things. IF Tokina got 90% of the above done dependably well who cares about a bigger range than...

Defects between the layers of glass covering the sensor of a Canon EOS Rebel T6s/760D.

read moreYou Can Now Bulk Download from Flickr: Your Photos Really Do Belong to You
Today Flickr launched a number of new improvements to their service. In my mind, the most significant change is that Flickr is introducing the ability for you to bulk download your photos from their site. I’ve been critical of Flickr in the past over the inability to easily get your photos back out of the service. While not a silo, Flickr’s never made it exactly easy to get your photos back after you upload them. You’ve always been able to download your photos on a photo by photo basis, but for someone with a ton of photos,...

read moreA Sunset on Mars Captured by the Curiosity Rover
NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars recently captured this surprisingly artistic photograph of a Martian sunset. Mountains in the horizon are seen as silhouettes in a shot that looks like it could have been shot somewhere here on Earth, except in this case, the camera was one that’s around 140 million miles away from us. You can find the full-resolution version of the image here. Here’s a different Martian sunset photo that was shot by a different rover back in 2005.

How do you go about shooting a quick photograph if you need to include both of your hands in the frame? One guy had a solution that turned into a classic sequence of photographs. This happened four years ago after someone on Reddit asked people to share photos of their tattoos. A user named Saend decided to share the body art on his wrists. “Please don’t ask me how I managed to take this picture…†said Saend. “I want a picture of you managing to take that picture,†someone replied. “Here you go my good sir,†said Saend....

I recently started coaching my eldest son’s flag football team. Being a Mom, as opposed to a Dad, this was a rare situation. As the league’s only “Lady Coachâ€, I was not taken very seriously by anyone, including myself. I stepped up because no other parent volunteered, but once everyone saw that a woman was going to be coaching these young boys to fifth grade flag football success, Dads came out of the woodwork. Some to kindly assist me because ten 11 year old boys is a lot no matter who you are; yet others insisted on their services,...

1700 Our new magazine is dedicated to a dynamic new renaissance in photography – the contemporary photobook The latest issue of British Journal of Photography is a celebration of the contemporary photobook, the primary art form for contemporary photographers. We believe book-making, and the conceptualisation of books, has become the medium on which artists are now judged. There’s been an explosion of small publishers, and book-making rather than the simple creation of photography prints is now the dynamic area...

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.
