3 Tips for Capturing Connections in Family Portraits

  We’ve all heard the dreaded words, “Okay everyone, look at the camera and at the count of three say Cheese!”. I have been guilty of using this technique too in my early days of as a family portrait photographer. I remember coming home from client photo shoots and kicking myself for not being original, botching up my client’s experience, and getting really mediocre images that lacked any emotion or connection. Over the course of time, my style of photography evolved and I started investing more time and effort in making my clients...

How to Create Your Own Lightroom Presets

A straight out of the camera Raw file from an EOS 5D Mark II, without any corrections applied in Lightroom. This is the sort of thing you see when you import images into Lightroom without applying a Develop Preset at the import stage. There are mundane tasks in Lightroom that you carry out on almost every photo you import. You can save time by creating Develop Presets to perform these jobs automatically upon import, so that you don’t have to do them later. The same photo with Profile set to Landscape, lens corrections applied, chromatic...

What goes around: 6 mid-sized ball heads put to the test

What goes around: 6 mid-sized ball heads put to the test

The ball heads under review, from left to right: FLM Centerball 43 FT, KPS GimBall G5D, Markins Q10i, UniqBall UBH 35, Acratech GP, Vanguard BBH-300. When using a tripod to improve some types of photography, one of the most important parts is the head that connects the camera to the legs. Along with providing flexibility for positioning and controlling the camera and lens, the head is where much of the ease, or difficulty, of using a tripod comes from. Continuing where our previous ball head roundup left off,...

Live Portrait Wants to Bring Boring School Pictures to Life with Augmented Reality

Live Portrait Wants to Bring Boring School Pictures to Life with Augmented Reality

Live Portrait is a new service that’s trying to breathe new life into the standard school portrait. Instead of simply static photographs, the company’s idea is to use augmented reality through a smartphone camera to add a video element to every photograph in a yearbook. The service claims to be “the first and only service that uses video to enhance the value of print.” We’re not so sure that’s an accurate claim, as HP began offering a similar service for consumers back in 2013 called Live Photo. Live Portrait does appear to...

LG Website Refers to an 8K Apple iMac That Doesn’t Officially Exist Yet

Apple made quite a splash last year when it announced its new iMac with a 5K display, but something much bigger could be on the horizon. A page on the LG website briefly referred to an ‘iMac 8K’ announcement by Apple — one that hasn’t happened yet. The message was first spotted by 9to5Mac on in the LG newsroom website in an explanation of 8K displays (the page is no longer online). Here’s the text version of what it said with the significant sentence bolded: It has become clear that Japan is planning to launch an 8K SHV test...

Syrian Refugee Children Capturing and Sharing Their Lives with Disposable Cameras

The Syrian civil war has been raging for over four years now, and millions of Syrians have fled their homes and into neighboring countries as refugees. As refugees struggle with basic necessities and figuring out their futures, a new project has popped up to give refugee children a creative outlet and a voice through photography. Hundreds of children have been documenting their tumultuous childhood experience using disposable cameras. It’s all part of a one year project known as “Lahza2″ (“Glimpse” in Arabic) by Zakira...

Behold: The Crazy Capacity of a 512GB Memory Card

Behold: The Crazy Capacity of a 512GB Memory Card

If you don’t mind shelling out $880 on a single memory card and putting all your eggs in one basket, you can buy Lexar’s 512GB CF card (or SanDisk’s 512GB SD card for $600). To give you a better idea of just how massive these capacities are, photographer Jared Polin stuck his 512GB card into his Nikon D4s and documented it in the video above. The card takes a moment to read because it has so much storage space. When the camera does figure out shots remaining, it shows that you can capture 13,800 16MP RAW photos… and 347,000...
