Erez Marom: Why you shouldn’t always believe the forecast
Landscape photographers love looking at weather forecasts, and for good reason. The more prepared you are for what’s going to happen, the logic goes, the better equipped you are to deal with cloud conditions, the light direction and intensity, and the more you can plan your shot to make sure you get to the right place at the right time to achieve the image you’ve been planning. You can’t always believe the forecast. With the aurora forecast predicting no activity, I was focused on shooting some star...
read moreDirector Gets Two Years in Jail for Train Track Shoot That Killed Crew Member
There have been a number of cases in recent years of people getting struck and killed by trains after doing photo or film shoots on train tracks. One of the cases last year involved the filming of a movie titled “Midnight Rider.†While filming on a narrow trestle bridge, a train passed through and killed one of the crew members. The director, Randall Miller, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and has now been sentenced to two years in prison and eight years of probation for his recklessness. Miller will also be required to...
read moreTip: Sanitary Napkins Can Dry and Dehumidify Your Lenses in Wet Environments
I often shoot time-lapse photos in harsh outdoor environments, and over the years I have discovered a number of odd items that are useful for my work. One of them is sanitary napkins (AKA sanitary pads). Apologies if you find the idea unappealing, but I have found that sanitary napkins are much better than conventional silica gel bag products. Traditional desiccants can work very well, but they often need to be dehumidified if you’re constantly in a very wet environment. I use sanitary pads for two purposes. The first is to reduce...
read moreWhy Complaining About Photos Being Photoshopped Makes No Sense (To Me)
Every day about 200 million photographs get uploaded to Facebook. That’s almost double the number of all the books that have ever been published in human history. And that’s just Facebook, I’m not even mentioning Instagram, Snapchat, or just the photos everybody takes and doesn’t even post online. While taking all those pictures, most people don’t really think about what they’re actually doing, or how the process works. But if they did think about it, I guess their reasoning for that process would be somewhat like this…...
read moreThe Modernist Houses of Palm Springs Photographed Under a Full Moon
If you do a search for photos of Palm Springs online, the vast majority of the results will show the city basked in the rays of Southern California sunshine. Photographer Tom Blachford wanted to take a different approach. For his project Midnight Modern, Blachford photographed the modernist homes of the resort city under only the light of a full moon. In an essay published at Dezeen, Blachford writes that he wanted to capture a different look of the city that had been the subject of so many photographs already. After capturing some...

read moreSoundBarrel is a Concept Speaker with an Aperture Inspired by Camera Lenses
The SoundBarrel is a concept Bluetooth speaker design that shutterbugs should feel right at home with. Created by South Korean industrial designer SaeJoung Kou, the device looks like a wooden camera lens and features a nifty aperture mechanism that’s used to change the volume. Kou says the the “sound aperture†helps you control your “exposure level†to the sound. “[An] iris diaphragm, which is commonly used on cameras to regulate the amount of light admitted to a lens, is applied to the sound hole to control the amount of...

read moreBlack Water Pelagic Macro Photography
 By Joshua Lambus  I live and dive on the Kona Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii. It’s a rugged island with beautiful vistas above water and incredible life beneath the waves. Because we are located on such a remote island there is no continental shelf, and thus deep and vast canyons are in abundance just offshore. This opens up the ability to do black water pelagic macro dives.  I was intrigued when I first heard about “black waterâ€Â diving. I had...
read more10 Reasons to Ditch Your Softbox for a Light Panel
A Post By: Joel Dryer So you want to create soft, beautiful light? One of the first light modifiers that comes to your mind is probably the tried and tested softbox. But, when it comes to versatility, are softboxes really worth the money? In this article, we are going to look at a viable contender to the age-old softbox – the light panel. Now, the goal of this article is not to bash softboxes, I personally have nothing against them. I own several and use them whenever I feel that they are the right tool for the job. However, my go-to light...
read more4 Reasons Shooting at Sunrise and Sunset Will Help You Take Better Photos
A Post By: Jim Hamel  Perhaps the most important change you can make to improve your photography is to change the time of day you are shooting. It is as simple as that. Photos taken in the middle of the day all have problems that can be avoided if you photograph near sunrise or sunset. Photographers agree on very little, but they all seem to agree that the times around sunrise and sunset are the best for photography. In fact, many photographers go so far as to put their cameras away during the hours between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Getting up at...

Olympus has announced an update to its Pen-like travel zoom: the Stylus SH-2. The SH-2 replaces the SH-1 with added support for Raw shooting, while maintaining the previous model’s 24x zoom (25-600mm equiv.), 16MP BSI CMOS sensor, 5-axis image stabilization and built-in Wi-Fi.

The Elinchrom ELB 400 is a 424Ws pack that can manage up to 350 full power flashes per charge and can recycle in 1.6 seconds after a maximum output burst. The pack is compatible with the company’s Quadra heads, with a choice of the Action head for short duration flash or the Pro head that...
read moreFlat elements developed by Harvard could make camera lenses smaller, lighter and better
Ordinary refractive lenses (left) suffer from significant chromatic aberrations as different wavelengths are focused in different spots. To compensate for this chromatic dispersion, additional lenses have to be added in an objective to compensate for chromatic aberrations as the number of wavelengths to be corrected increases. An achromatic doublet corrects for 2 wavelengths, an apochromat for 3 and finally a so called super-achromat for four wavelengths. The Harvard team’s new metasurface lenses (right) are...
read moreVideo: A conversation with Olympus’ Richard Pelkowski about the OM-D E-M5 II
A good interview that strikes a satisfactory balance between just trumpeting market spin and overly-guarded responses. I got the impression that Richard Pelkowski may be a genuine enthusiast. It’s interesting how Olympics, (and perhaps Ricoh with the GR), take firmware releases seriously, not just for bug fixes, but also to enable new features. And to seriously listen to owners and reviewers feedback about what should be changed or added. With form-factor changers like the Ricoh Theta, Olympics Air, Ricoh WG-M1, and the Sony Action Cam...

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.
