Lowepro launches weather-proof Fastpack backpacks for traveling photographers
Bag manufacturer Lowepro has introduced a pair of new backpacks to its Fastpack range, featuring added weather-proofing and a compartment that supports a laptop or tablet. The Fastpack BP 150 AW ll and BP 250 AW ll are basically the same bag in two sizes, and each is divided into three sections that allow storage of camera equipment as well as other everyday items for photographers on the move. The lower front compartment of the BP 150 AW ll unzips to accommodate a mid-range DSLR (the company uses the Nikon D7100 as an...
read moreAloha! We go shooting with Samsung’s new NX500
The NX1 is $1.5k body only. Once you add the obligatory 16-50 f/2-2.8, you’ve already spent $2.7K. Add the 50-150 f/2.8 to complete your lens kit and you’ve burned more than 4,000 dollars… But then again, IMHO it’s totally worth it, and that’s why I went for it, after carefully evaluating all the competitors. The NX500, which would save you $750 on the body-(nice) lens combo but at the cost of serious compromises, however, is not. Frankly, I don’t think the NX500+16-50 f/2-2.8 is worth $2K. Let alone the...

When Israeli freelance artist Ynon Lan visited New York City earlier this year, he wanted to capture the things he saw in a way that conveyed the constant energy he felt as he walked around. He then came up with the idea of taking thousands of still photographs of particular themes and combine them afterward into a video as a flowing visual experience. Lan tells DIYPhotography that he captured roughly 3,600 individual photographs with his Canon 550D for the project and ended up using 330 of them in the minute-long final short film...

Director David Robin created this humorous spoof of the TV show Shark Tank for the WPPI conference and expo that took place in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. It features a number of well known photography industry figures (Roberto Valenzuela, Bambi Cantrell, Jerry Ghionis, Melissa Ghionis, and Gary Fong) as the investors and entrepreneurs. Although they portray a couple of inept inventors in the parody, Melissa and Gary have found success with their actual products in real life. The Ghionis’ are behind the new Omega shoot-through...

This past Valentines day, photographer Kendrick Brinson was tasked with what she calls “the strangest assignment†of her career thus far. She was asked by OZY magazine with shooting as a fake paparazzi photographer, chasing after editor Sanjena Sathian as she walked the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard through crowds of tourists. Sathian later published an account of the experience in a story titled “Almost Famous.†Sathian’s celebrity image was reinforced by an actor that was hired to play her bodyguard and a swarm of hired...

Photographers Tony and Chelsea Northrup shot a hands on test video that pits the new Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 against the pricier version by Canon. “Yongnuo recently released their first autofocus lens, and it’s half the price of the Canon version,†they write. “We test it to see if we can recommend it for beginning photographers who want an inexpensive, fast lens.†They conclude that even though the Canon 50mm is the better all-around lens, the Yongnuo “makes a good choice for photographers who want to experiment with primes and...

read moreReview of the CASE Remote Trigger and App
A Post By: Daniel Korzeniewski The CASE Remote from Cheering Tech is a small box that connects to a DSLR camera via a USB cable and lets you wirelessly control almost every function, and some more. I was offered the device for review from Cheering Tech and decided to try it on without many expectations. When I received the unit I was surprised by the quality of the packaging and presentation. The design of the CASE Remote is really nice, fairly small at two inches square and 70 grams (2.5oz). The size makes the remote convenient, and easy to...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt I only just heard about Photographers Ignite, which is a twist on the extremely popular Ignite Sessions. It is produced by Kevin Kubota and I had a chance to sit in on the sessions on the last day of this year’s WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) conference. I asked Kevin if I could share some of the videos and he agreed, so while the sessions from this year aren’t online yet I hand picked a few from the archives that I think you’ll enjoy. #1 – There’s gotta be something more . . ....

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.
