3 Simple Tips for Subtle Landscape Photography Post-Processing

Landscapes are one of the most popular photography subjects, and for good reason. Nature is enchanting to the human eye, and it’s only natural for people to want to capture that stunning natural scene with cameras. Some landscape pros and über-enthusiasts will plan ahead with tripods, shutter release cables, filters, and extra gear to make sure they really nail the shot they have in mind. Then there are more casual photographers like myself who tend to shoot landscapes on a spur of the moment basis, usually during vacation. If you fall...

Lighting for Macro Photography

Lighting for Macro Photography

Macro photography is great for exploring new worlds that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. You can turn ordinary, boring subjects into fascinating ones. A closeup photograph’s composition is 80% determined by the lighting, therefore it is the single most important element a macro photographer should have complete control over. With good lighting your macro photographs will pop out of the frame and will be sharp, vibrant, and visually stunning. If you get the lighting wrong however, your macro photograph will just look dull and...

Well yesterday Adobe pulled the trigger on the much anticipated release of the new Lightroom 6, which is actually called Lightroom CC (part of the Creative Cloud).

Lorenzo Moscia’s Haiti

232464 An Italian lawyer turned photojournalist found himself at the centre of international peace-keeping efforts in Haiti. WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES “It was inconceivable to my father that he would end up with a son who wanted to pursue a career in the arts,” says photographer Lorenzo Moscia. Like many of his father’s generation in Italy, having lost nearly everything to the Second World War, the aftermath thrust him into manhood, and having to provide financial support to his struggling, large family of siblings....

Hands-on with the Pentax K-3 II

Posted by on 23rd, Apr, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

You mean introduce a new range of lenses with a new mount and shorter registration distance? A mirrorless K-mount FF won’t be smaller than a DSLR, courtesy of physics/optics. It would indeed be lighter, and simpler to manufacture and repair. However, as I’ve written here before: DSLR: Most of the camera’s electronics remain in standby most of the time. At those times when you’re not actually taking a photo, the only electronics in use are the exposure metering sensor, the AF sensor, and the AF motor. Include the LCD...

Ricoh unveils Pentax K-3 II with Pixel Shift Resolution mode

Ricoh has just launched the Pentax K-3 II semi-pro DSLR. It uses an improved image stabilization system that drives a new Pixel Shift Resolution feature, designed to reduce false color. Retaining its predecessor’s 24MP sensor, 27-point AF system, and durable construction, the K-3 II offers sensor-shift IS with a claimed 4.5 stops of shake reduction. Also included are built-in GPS, an improved AF algorithm, gyro-sensor-based panning detection and automatic horizon correction. Something that’s no longer...

Kipon adapter to allow AF with Canon lenses on Micro Four Thirds bodies

Posted by on 23rd, Apr, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

One of the more interesting news for Micro Four Thirds users. Hope for fast AF will probably be reserved for E-M1 users, though, I guess. And then there’s the issue of Canon using thinner glass filter stacks on their sensors, so that even lenses which have been designed with that glass in mind will probably be a bit more soft at large apertures than when used on a Canon camera. Nonetheless, this will offer a whole lot of possibilities, especially in the telephoto and macro areas. And who knows, maybe some day there will be such an...

Sigma service notice advises of Canon 750D and 760D Live View issue

Sigma has issued a service notice advising that some of its Canon mount interchangeable lenses cannot be used with Live Mode on the soon-to-be-released Canon EOS Rebel T6s (760D) and the Canon EOS Rebel T6i (750D).

Adobe Camera Raw 9 released with Merge to HDR and Panorama features

With the launch of Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC, Adobe has released Camera Raw 9 with some of the some added features. Merge to HDR and Panorama are now available in ACR, using Raw image data to automatically assemble HDR and panoramic images, which are output as DNG files (16-bit floating-point DNGs in the case of HDR merges). This eliminates the need to edit files before merging them in Photoshop. Like the latest versions of Lightroom, ACR can now also use your computer’s GPU to speed up image editing. The new...

6 Features That Should Have Been In Lightroom 6 (But Aren’t)

6 Features That Should Have Been In Lightroom 6 (But Aren’t)

Lightroom 6 (AKA Lightroom CC) was just announced. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this release, pretty much from the moment Lightroom 5 was announced. And I have to be honest: I’m sad. Yes, software updates make me disappointed. Here’s what’s up. From where I stand, it seems like significant development on Lightroom has stalled. Lightroom 6 is a fairly incremental update from Lightroom 5, with no new killer features. And Lightroom 5 was also a pretty incremental update from Lightroom 4. It’s been a long time since anything...

Nikon Reaches Settlement with Sigma in VR Patent Infringement Lawsuit

Back in May 2011, Nikon filed a lawsuit against Sigma, accusing the company of using patented Vibration Reduction (VR) technology in Sigma lenses.

EliteDaily Misuses Photo for Viral Article, Writer Then Responds to Complaints with Ridicule

It seems that the viral content blog EliteDaily hasn’t learned its lesson despite the current copyright infringement lawsuit being brought by photojournalist Peter Menzel. Another photo has been misused for a viral article, and photographers aren’t happy with how the writer is responding. The controversy started last week when staff writer Gigi Engle published a post titled “Dear Anxiety: Instead Of Being Toxic, You Turned Me Into A Stronger Person.” The piece has since attracted over 11,000 likes on Facebook. At the top of the...
