read moreSony FE 28mm F2 samples gallery posted
I’ve just bought one too for my A7R, and I share your view. It feels nice on the camera, it’s pretty sharp, although it’s not in the same league as the 55/1.8 and 35/2.8. Colour, contrast, flare resistance and focus speed are all excellent, but there’s too much distortion for a modern prime. Consequently sharpness suffers due to software correction, especially in the corners. I like the lens and I’ll certainly keep it, but I think Sony could’ve done a better job here.

I have an MFA and have never thought that way, and I’ve rarely ever heard, in related contexts, such attitudes expressed. It takes only a quick glance around both the contemporary and the historical to see ample evidence of excellent work produced by ‘self-taught’ artists – those coming upon (external) knowledge outside formal contexts or, otherwise, developing quality work independent of (external) knowledge. In any case, developing sophisticated methods, potentially including an understanding of historical...

read moreHow I Use Black Tape on My Fujifilm X100 for Street Photography
You can solve everything with black tape. If not, you just don’t have enough tape. In this post, I’ll show you how I prepare my Fujifilm X100 camera for street shooting. It will cover my specific style of shooting, so some things might not work for you. Here’s how I shoot: I shoot fully manual except for Auto ISO, which I set on 1600 or 3200. For the most part I use zone focusing and tend to keep the camera in my palm and inside my jacket’s pocket (that will be obvious below). Lets start with the bottom. Piece of tape covers...

read moreWhat the Naked Eye Sees in the Night Sky Compared to What the Camera Can Capture
The Internet is teeming with photographs and videos of the starry night sky that dazzle the eyes and tickle the imagination, but have you ever wondered how the imagery compares to what photographer’s naked eye actually saw while the camera was taking a picture? Photographer inefekt69 recently decided to answer that question by creating the photos above. On the left is what the human eye could see in the dark, outdoor field, and on the right is the photo he shared online. The photograph was captured at a well known tourist spot in...

Here’s one crazy way to use the new Olympus Air wireless modular camera: “rocket launcher†style. The photographer above attached the Olympus Air to a 300mm lens, flipped the lens upside down, and used the tripod mount ring to attach a smartphone live view and a magnifying loupe. This strange idea is by the folks over at the Japanese photo website DC.Watch, which just published an article detailing this clever kit combo and testing it out. Here are a couple more shots of the bazooka cam in action: Head on over to DC.Watch to read...

 By Francis Pérez  One thing I’m most passionate about in underwater photography is wide-angle photography. Within this large category, few subjects are as challenging (yet rewarding) to photograph as large schools of fish.  Normally, beginning underwater photographers are most comfortable starting off with macro photography or fish portraits, subjects which generally tend to give aesthetically acceptable results from the start. Wide-angle results...
read moreHow to Make a Triptych in Lightroom
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson It seems that the majority of photos we see online or in print are presented individually. But if you have several strong images on a related theme, you may be able to create a stronger presentation by placing them together. The triptych – three images laid out side by side – is a traditional way of doing this. While there is no way of creating a triptych in Lightroom’s Develop module, it’s easy to do in the Print module. It’s a simple procedure and saves you having to leave Lightroom to create the...
read moreTips for Choosing a Tripod Head
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth One of the first accessories many people buy after getting a camera is a tripod, and most of those are the all-in-one kind with three legs on the bottom, and a top part called a head, onto which you mount your camera. Typically these heads feature a handle that juts out from one side that can be tightened or loosened to allow you to change the angle at which your camera is situated. These tripods usually cost about $25 to $50 which makes them quite attractive to photographers looking to invest in some gear to help...

Dear Shirley, Butch, Duke and Steve, I don’t know if you will remember me, my name’s Pat Pope and across a few years in the nineties I worked for you as a photographer. That’s one of my photos of you accompanying this letter. I worked pretty hard on that photo – actually, throughout my time as a photographer I hope I’ve always worked hard to make all the artists I’ve had the opportunity to shoot look as good as they can. Today I received an email from your management company Big Picture Music Co. It’s a very nice email, and in...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
