read moreShooting Better Waterfalls: Five Tips for Improving Your Waterfall Photography
Perhaps there isn’t a more sought after and photographed subject than water. More specifically, waterfalls. When you really think about it, waterfalls are one of the most basic and simple things that we can find in nature. They are just streams or rivers that happened, by one geological occurrence or another, to find themselves flowing over some height of cliff or stone or other drop-off. Still, we remain captivated by the simple beauty and serenity that can come from being near, and photographing a waterfall. That’s where we, as...

read moreRed introduces ‘Weapon’ camera with 8K sensor option

It’s just too extra costly for IQ gains that exactly who cares? 35mp moving images, even for the masters at Hollywood, is not a walk in the park. You get more expensive CG, make up, special make up, props, sets, wardrobe, deadlines, etc. Blockbusters’ budget are average at 100 – 200 million, at 2k. For 35mp footage, you can bet it will increase another 100 million for...
