Underwater Seascape Photography

  By Jacques de Vos   Underwater photographers love showing the viewer what they think would produce a “wow” response, which usually means photographing interesting animal subjects, either big or small. Interestingly enough, it is actually possible to make a similar impression with scenes lacking a tangible subject. By shifting focus from a single subject to the surrounding underwater environment, we can still wow our viewers.     What...

How to Shoot in Low-Light Conditions Without Using Flash

Photography is all about capturing the subject beautifully in the available light. Sometimes as the photographer you have more than optimum light (e.g., bright sunlight, halogens, etc.) to work with while some other times you have to work in suboptimal or low-light conditions. If you are not a pro photographer then it is always a great challenge, and sometimes it’s a nightmare, to capture great shots in low-light conditions. Exposure info: f/1.8, 1/50th at ISO 3200 In order to face the challenges that low-light conditions come with, I will...

Exposure Lock Button – What is it and How to Use it?

Nestled quietly on the back of most cameras is a button that is often ignored or misunderstood, particularly by those who have recently upgraded to a DSLR or Mirrorless camera. It’s the Exposure Lock button, and it can be a tremendous asset to photographers who are looking for ways to get more control over their cameras and ultimately their photography in general. Using the exposure lock button helped me get the correct exposure on this picture of two students studying for final exams. To understand what this button does it’s helpful to...

Exploring the beauty of silent solitude

26010 A spiritual experience at the Trinità dei Monti, a church by Rome’s Spanish Steps, came to define Nils Thune’s photography career “I was driving in my car, searching for something to photograph, when I saw his home at the end of a gravel pat,” says Norwegian photographer Nils Thune. “It looks similar to my farm, which my parents lived in before me and was built in 1845. I thought no one lived there, it looked deserted. The key was in the door. I knocked and Ola was sitting in the kitchen.”...

Samsung Galaxy S6 units found to be using different image sensors

The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 both used Samsung’s ISOCELL in-house image sensors. When the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge were launched earlier this year there was no talk of the ISOCELL technology anymore and it was believed the 16MP 1/2.6 CMOS chip in the new models was provided by Sony. However, over the past few days rumors have emerged that in some units Samsung sensors are used instead of the Sony variant. According to a report by SamMobile this rumor has now been confirmed by Samsung. A spokesperson for the company said that...

These Animations Show How CMOS and CCD Sensors Work and How They Differ

Posted by on 6th, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Want to see how CMOS and CCD image sensors work and how they differ from each other? Photographer and animator Raymond Sirí created a couple of simple animations showing the basic idea of how these two sensor technologies go about capturing light, reading it, and storing the information. The animation above showing CMOS sensor tech was used in a trial against Canon, Sirí says. Here’s the animation he created showing how CCDs work: As you can see, CMOS sensors capture one row of light information at a time, which causes the...

Court: Motorola Must Pay Fujifilm $10M for Infringing on B&W Conversion Patent

Motorola Mobility has been ordered by a court ruling to fork over $10.2 million to Fujifilm for violating one of the Japanese company’s camera patents in its mobile phones.Reuters reports that Fujifilm originally sued Motorola in 2012, demanding $40 million and accusing the company of using four patented technologies without permission. Three of them had to do with the phone’s camera and one had to do with data transmission. On Monday, a jury found that three of the patents were invalid. The only one that Motorola was found guilty...

Photographer Wants to End Discrimination Against High-End Camera Gear

Photographer Jason Lanier is on a mission to end “discrimination against photographers.” He just posted the video above showing two encounters he recently had with law enforcement while doing a photo shoot in San Francisco. In both cases, the officials noticed his “nice” camera and high-end equipment and questioned him to see if he was shooting commercially without a proper permit (which can cost hundreds of dollars). During the second stop, a park ranger notices Lanier photographing a model with off-camera lighting equipment...

Nikon D750 Hot Shoe Reportedly Causing Problems by Being Slightly Too Long

The Nikon D750 has a hot shoe that’s different than the hot shoes on previous Nikon DSLRs, and the minor difference is causing major problems for some photographers. At least, that’s what the flash and accessory maker Phottix is claiming. After receiving reports that its TTL Trigger for Nikon DSLRs doesn’t work correctly on the Nikon D750, Phottix tasked its engineers with finding out what was going on. After “much research and testing,” the team finally discovered that the camera’s hot shoe dimensions are ever so slightly...
