Have a look at these 25 monochrome images. Get some ideas of color you can use because that is your challenge for this week. Weekly Photography Challenge – Monochrome By André Mellagi By Darlene Hildebrandt Shooting in monochrome is an option on most cameras. If you also shoot in raw format you can still recover the color information in post-processing if you wish, but it will help you learn to see things in their simplest form – light and shape. Here are a few more examples (even stuck a few of my own images in there): By Darlene...

Last week I shared 24 Powerful Images With Complementary Colors, ones that are opposite on the color wheel. So it’s time for another opposite, images which use only one color. Yes that could mean black and white, but monochrome just means one color so it could be green, blue, red, anything. Have a look at the composition and light in these images. See what makes them work.

CP+ Nikon Interview When we attended CP+ earlier this year in Yokohama, Japan we sat down with senior executives from several major camera and lens manufacturers. We were lucky enough to sit down with a number of Nikon engineers to ask them about their overall strategy with respect to FX vs DX, and DSLR vs mirrorless. We were also able to ask pointed technical questions regarding innovative technologies in Nikon cameras, and the answers were very enlightening. So without further ado… From left to right: Tsuyoshi...

AND Hasselblad was making their own SONY RX 100 II, the Stellar, with a grip, made of wood or other materials. $2,395 ….. Sony’s camera sells for $650 so the Hasselblad grip and H logo name added $1750 to the price. **Apparently, it has been discontinued** …. lack of sales perhaps? Sounded like a bargain: The Hasselblad Stellar (RX100 II) features a titanium finish rather than a black one, a big “H” logo on the front, and a deep, contoured handgrip that’s missing from Sony’s version of the camera. The...

Back in December 2014, we shared about photographer Justin Bettman‘s Set in the Street project that involved building elaborate “indoor†sets on outdoor sidewalks in New York City, shooting portraits on them, and then leaving them for the public to pose with. This past Valentine’s Day, Bettman’s ongoing project took a different (and romantic) turn: he built a set for a stranger to propose to his girlfriend in. Here’s what happened: after his project was widely published, Bettman received an email a few months ago from a man...

A few months ago, we shared a chart showing how sales the camera market have changed between 1947 and 2014. The data shows that after a large spike in the late 2000s, the sales of dedicated cameras have been shrinking by double digit figures each of the following years. Mix in data for smartphone sales, and the chart can shed some more light on the state of the industry. Here’s the original chart in case you missed it the first time around: Photographer Sven Skafisk decided to see what the same chart would look like with smartphone...

Photographer Guinnevere Shuster of the Humane Society of Utah came up with a fantastic idea for helping dogs get adopted: the doggy photo booth. Her photos of the dogs do a much better job at capturing their personalities than standard snapshots, and the results have been impressive: 93.26% of the dogs are now finding new homes. The photo booth-style portraits are able to show multiple facets of a dog’s personality through four pictures of each puppy. Here are some of the portraits that have been shared so far: “We just wanted to...

It’s essentially an aperture that’s designed for pasta rather than light. It’s a f/1.0-4.0 pasta limiter that comes in four full stops and three half stops. Set the aperture to a particular number depending on how many servings you’d like to cook, and use the aperture to measure a bundle: These pasta limiters are currently priced at about $2-4 each over on Amazon.
