5 Reasons a Pro Photographer Sometimes Regrets Going Pro

5 Reasons a Pro Photographer Sometimes Regrets Going Pro

Following your dream is not always easy. Actually, it’s never easy. To be frank, I think the only way you can achieve a dream goal is to leave yourself no other choice. You can’t say, for instance, “I’ll try this for a while and see how it goes.” because you’ll always find a reason (often a pretty good one) to give up and do something else. You have to be fully committed. That makes it easier decision-wise, because you literally leave yourself no other choice but to keep going forward. But the process itself is still very hard....

Let me try to address that…

Total light, smaller sensors and crops The total amount of light that goes to make up your image is the most important factor in determining image quality. As I tried to explain (and demonstrate) in my article on equivalence, f-numbers dictate the light intensity of an exposure (light per unit area). However, this ignores the sensor size. To understand how much total light is available to make up your image, you need to multiply this light per unit area by the area of your sensor. Why do you say a smaller sensor sees less...

Readers’ Showcase: Steve Badger

Posted by on 4th, May, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Isn’t it amazing when people say ‘seen these pictures 1000 times before’, “not original” etc? Everything has been photograph to death (or even painted) thus making photography more boring than ever. Some people still find the location, get there at the right time and posses the right set of skills to capture ‘nice’ images – Steve did exactly that. Considering Australia’s coastline is 25,760 kilometers, or a little over 16,000 miles, long, there are slim chances the pictures of exactly the...

Nikon Hackers Making Progress on Using Live View Data for Shooting RAW Video

Unofficial RAW video functionality could be coming to a Nikon DSLR near you in the not-too-distant future. The Nikon hacker community appears to be making progress in using the live view feature of cameras to obtain RAW footage from the sensor.EOSHD reports that members of the Nikon Hacker forums have successfully converted a single frame from a Nikon D5100’s live view buffer into a DNG photo. One of the forum members named a1ex managed to obtain a 1664×1102 RAW image from the buffer using a prototype DNG converter created using...

The Online Depth of Field Simulator is Now Available as a Free Android App

A couple of months ago, we featured a helpful little web app called the Bokeh Simulator and Depth of Field Calculator. The website allows photographers to quickly visualize what different options in a particular shot (e.g. aperture, focal length, distance to subject) do to the bokeh and depth of field in the resulting photo. The app has now gotten even better: in addition to some nifty feature upgrades, it can now be downloaded as a free app for Android devices. Developer Michael Bemowski, the man behind the site, tells us that he has...

Why Having Your Portrait Made Is Important

My friend Matthew Simmons and I did recently did a photo shoot with an amazing little girl named Desi Robinson. After sending Renee, Desi’s mother, the finished images and talking to her a few days after, something really hit me. Renee thanked me for asking Desi to do a shoot with Matthew and I, because she had “come so far” since having that experience. After hearing this, I wanted to explore this idea a little more. I had always believed that it was important to have your portrait made at least once, but I didn’t have any...

‘Exposure’ Now Legal Tender For Photographers

‘Exposure’ Now Legal Tender For Photographers

A change in the law will allow photographers to pay rent on their homes and studios with ‘exposure’ instead of money. They will also be able to buy coffee, shampoo, and other essentials by mentioning to the checkout assistant that they did a big job last week for nothing and are hoping it will bring them some paying clients. Landlords and supermarkets are protesting this move on the grounds that “Well what the hell am I supposed to do with ‘exposure’? I can’t pay my bills with fresh bloody air! Why can’t you just give me...

This is How Much Diamond is Extracted from Massive Diamond Mines

In the world of diamond mining, huge open pits are dug into the Earth in order to find and extract a relatively small amount of usable diamonds. For his new set of images in his ongoing For What It’s Worth project, photographer Dillon Marsh created a series of photos showing this dramatic comparison. For each pair of images, the first shows a huge pit created in the ground by diamond miners, and the second is a zoomed-in view that includes a CGI rendering of how much diamond has been extracted in the history of that mine. The...
