Using Filters in Underwater Photography

Using Filters in Underwater Photography

  By Peter Rowlands   Filters are not new to underwater photography, but they have come of age with the digital revolution. On land, the opposite has been true. There, as the capabilities of digital cameras and software have grown, so filter use has become less popular. Underwater, the situation is different because we’re using much stronger filters than on land because we have to deal with much bigger color shifts. Furthermore, filter photography underwater benefits hugely from the...

A Guide to Photographing Dance Performances in a Theatre

One of the biggest challenges as photographer is shooting inside a theatre, simply because the only thing that you can control is the camera. You may be faced with very dim lighting conditions, dancers moving around at great speed, different lighting settings during the show, no use of flash, and your movement in the theatre during the show may be limited. I am writing this guide based on an assignment you have with the organizer, as photographer of the event. Some of the points might not be relevant or accessible for you if you are attending...

6 of the Most Essential but Underused Camera Features

If you are just getting started in photography, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find these six often overlooked features in the menu of your DSLR. While each one can be used to create professional quality results, extensive experience is not required to leverage their usefulness. Best of all, there’s no need to upgrade to a high end model. These settings are now found on even the most entry-level camera bodies. With the ability to take full control of your camera, you’re more likely to get the shot right at the time of the exposure....

Opinion: Why the Canon XC10 is a big deal

Opinion: Why the Canon XC10 is a big deal

Today Canon released the XC10, a camera that for all practical purposes is equal part a stills and a video camera. It promises to deliver not only both types of media, but an appropriate user experience for either type of shooting. It may be the first true ‘convergence’ camera. Convergence. You’ve no doubt heard about it before. Still photography and video are on a collision course. In the future, goes the thinking, a camera will simply be a camera. Whether it shoots video or stills will be irrelevant...

Instagram Adds Color and Fade Tools for Seasoning Photos to Taste

Apps like VSCO Cam may not have the enormous social network that Instagram boasts, but they offer powerful photo editing features that Instagram has historically lacked. After launching five new filters for its service and a perspective-tweaking Adjust tool just a few months ago, Instagram is now working on putting more photo-editing power at the fingertips of its users. Today the service announced two new creative tools: Color and Fade. The new Color tool lets you add a specific color as a tint to the highlights and shadows of your...

The Real Meanings of Common Photographic Words and Expressions: Part II

Well now, it seems my little guide to common photographic expressions hit a chord with a few people. It’s great that people appreciated it and I received some awesome comments. So I decided to put my thinking cap back on and come up with some more definitions. As before, it’s just a bit of fun and I’m in the firing line, just as much as the next guy.Urbex: Short for “urban exploration”, this increasingly popular style of photography requires practitioners to illegally trespass on someone’s (usually heavily vandalised)...

Posted by on 8th, Apr, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

There are only a couple of Canon 5DS cameras floating around in the US for reviewers to play around with prior to the DSLR arriving on store shelves in June. Portrait photographer Peter Hurley managed to get his hands on one of them. In the video above by Resource Magazine, Hurley uses the camera for two headshot shoots and shares his first impressions of the camera’s capabilities. “Medium format has a ‘look’ to it, and I think the pros who like using medium format cameras are probably going to stick around with the medium...

Photos of Presidents Throwing the Ceremonial First Pitch Through the Ages

The first ceremonial first pitch ever thrown was tossed by former Japanese Prime Minister Ōkuma Shigenobu at a baseball game in Koshien, Japan, back in 1908. Two years later, US President William Howard Taft started the tradition in the United States, tossing a pitch (shown above) in Washington DC on the opening day of the Washington Senators’ season. Since then, every US president has thrown at least one ceremonial first pitch, and they have all been documented in photographs. Here’s a look at some historical photos of US...
