GoPro has announced its acquisition of Kolor, makers of stitching software used for spherical 360-degree videos and panoramas. Demonstrating exactly what we can expect when the two companies combine forces, the above 360-degree video has been released today, recorded with three GoPro Heros and stitched together with Kolor software. Viewed using Chrome, the video is fully interactive. With a software solution in house, it seems logical that GoPro could begin producing rigs to accommodate multiple cameras for spherical,...

read moreIf you want a lens that looks more like a spaceship’s laser weapon, today is your lucky day. A ginormous NASA 2540mm f/8 mirror tele lens has appeared on eBay in the “film cameras†category. Called the Jonel 100, it’s being touted as “one of the biggest lenses ever,†by the seller. The auction’s description states that NASA used this lens to keep its eye on rockets such as the Saturn V, and that a similar lens was used to track and capture images of the Space Shuttle Challenger on the day it exploded during launch. The...
read moreEarlier this year, photographer Benjamin Von Wong got a call from the Chinese telecom company Huawei. They were getting ready to launch a new smartphone called the P8, and they wanted Von Wong to shoot the craziest photographs he could come up with. The rules for the shoot were: it had to be done with the phone’s new “Light Painting†feature, the model had to be surrounded by fire, and no Photoshop would be allowed in the process. Huawei’s P8 shoots long exposures using a stacking technique that astrophotographers use for...

read morePhotographing the landscape is one of the oldest forms of photography, along with others like portrait and street photography. Since the advent of digital photography the possibilities of what can be done seem almost endless. It also means that photography has become more accessible, so with more people taking it up it is becoming harder to be original, and make your images your own. There are ways of creating landscapes that have your style, but it usually means throwing away a lot of what you first learn about photography. Perhaps the only...
read moreThe goal of portrait retouching is to bring out the most naturally pleasing image of the subject. This image is the finished result of Frequency Separation Retouching in Photoshop. Portrait retouching may be accomplished using many different methods. Still, how often have you seen a portrait image that has been retouched to the point that the subject’s face looks unnatural? Even many of the software packages available for portrait retouching result in an airbrushed effect to skin tones. What if the detail and color of a portrait could...
read moreStreet scene One of the most unexplored aspects in digital photography is the dark image. With digital, we have built-in light meters, histograms, incredible ISO capabilities, and processing programs, which make it much easier to expose our images brightly in all different lighting situations. This can have the effect of making photographers feel that they need to expose all of their images with a neutral histogram, where you can see the image perfectly well, with some information in the highlights, mid-tones, and shadows. This is often...
read moreThere’s something ultimately alluring about lake and river reflections in landscape photography, especially when surrounded by majestic snow capped mountains that glow hot from the light of the setting sun.

Read on to learn the methods I use when trying to capture stunning lake and river reflections in my photography. 1 – Don’t shoot super...

Well, dear reader, read on and we’ll get to the bottom of this relatively new, bomb proof storage device from ioSafe.com The aptly named Rugged Portable is an external solid state drive that connects to your computer via USB 3.0 to store all of your files – in my case, raw images photographed on location. We have the 1TB version on a trial and that’s going to be (much) more than enough for most photography...

Thomas Cox reports. “We all see the homeless – more or less – although we often do our best to look elsewhere,†says New York photographer John Conn. “I would walk past, look at their signs and then their faces and try to match up the two – seeing if they correlate.†Framing the dual intimations of person and sign forms the basis of Conn’s 80-image...
