read moreHow to Correct Lens Distortion with the Adaptive Wide Angle Filter in Photoshop
A Post By: Suzi Pratt The issue When photographing subjects with a wide-angle lens, it’s pretty common for perspective problems to present themselves in the form of lines that should be straight, but appear curved and distorted. This is commonly referred to as barrel distortion, which occurs mostly in wide-angle lenses because the magnification of the image decreases the farther the subject is from the optical axis of the lens. In plain speech, it means that when looking through a wide-angle lens, anything that is at the edge of the frame...
read moreThe Natural Light Cycle for Photographers
A Post By: Jim Hamel Natural light is what landscape photography is made of. Other forms of photography rely heavily on flash, but most landscapes rely entirely on the sun’s rays as their light source. That natural light from the sun is changing every second of the day. A picture taken at 9:00 a.m. will look fundamentally different than picture taken at 7:00 a.m., even if it is a picture of the exact same subject, from the exact same angle, using the exact same camera settings and focal length. Therefore, understanding these changes that...

We recently returned from the CP+ show in Yokohama, Japan, where we sat down with Kazunobu Saiki – General Manager of the Marketing Communication Department, in the Global Marketing Division of Ricoh Imaging. We spoke to Mr Saiki about Ricoh’s forthcoming full-frame DSLR, the success of the 645Z and about his desire to improve AF performance in Pentax’s DSLRs and lenses.

I’m not sure about “useful outcomes”, do we really need one more shopping mall, or condo tower in a big city? (Useful to developers and “investors”.) “hedonistic”? Don’t imagine that freezing your butt off at 6000meteres and wondering if your hands will be able to continue gripping the ice axe for the necessary time to get you up or down is hedonistic. A lot of car travel/use is in fact “recreational” and unnecessary. No I guess there’s no recreational mining, but gold is...
read moreStress Testing SD Cards to See How Their Real Write Speeds Stack Up
The popular YouTube tech channel LinusTechTips recently did an SD card showdown to see how the actual performance of the cards compares to what’s written on the labels. One of the things they did was a Canon 6D test, the results of which can be seen in the graphic above (here’s a larger version). They shot 30 RAW photographs with the camera’s 4.5 frame per second burst mode. Using a microphone, they captured the time at which each shutter actuation occurred, plotting the visual representations of the recordings next to one...

Los Angeles has agreed to pay a $50,000 settlement to three photographers after they were detained by LA County Sheriffs while taking pictures in public places. As part of the settlement, the city will also teach its sheriff deputies that photography is not a crime. The three photographers — Shawn Nee, Greggory Moore and Shane Quentin — were represented by the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, who sued the county and deputies in 2011 on behalf of the three men. Authorities had violated the photographers’ First and Fourth...

Photographer Craig Boudreaux was personally impacted by the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005. Among the homes that were destroyed by rains, winds, and flooding were his grandmother’s home, his friends’ homes, and even his childhood home. A year after Katrina struck, and after the flood waters had long gone, Boudreaux revisited some ravaged areas in New Orleans, capturing the aftermath of a storm that changed so many lives. The photographs are very personal to Boudreaux and many were very difficult for...
read more‘The Rain Maker’: How I Shot a Conceptual Wet Plate Collodion Photograph
During past few weeks I have been working on a new picture I had in mind. This time I already knew the title: “The Rain Maker.†It’s a picture made with the collodion photographic process that was invented back in 1851. I discovered a beautiful antique greenhouse that was flooded at that time, so I asked for permission to use it for my idea and the owner agreed. I made some clouds and wanted to see these clouds really pour rain during the shoot, so I had to make a construction of tubes and hoses to make that happen. The first...

read morePost-processing RAW Files – ACR Compared to Some Free Software Options
A Post By: Sarah Hipwell What is RAW? A RAW file is really the digital negative, which means that all the data is stored waiting to be unleashed via a RAW Editor. Unlike a jpeg file which has been edited in-camera (or in post-processing) and is a compressed 8-bit file. Why shoot RAW? The main benefit to shooting RAW is simply to have as much information as possible in the file. When you upload a RAW file onto your computer the white balance, and tonal corrections have to be set manually. More detail can be retrieved from the highlights and...
read moreNational Media Museum to display three of the world’s oldest photos
AS far as anybody knows he made the first actual photographs. Niepce invented photography. Only the english potter Wedgewood preceded him noticing how salts darkened through lights action, a process that interested him because he wanted to be able to transfer designs to pottery, but he wasn’t able to fix the results. Thus Niepce was first, followed by several other people before Daguerre. In 1835 Fox Talbot “invented the negative/positive Calotype process that enabled the photograph to be reproduced, thus preceeding Daguerre by...

As a photographer, I’m constantly striving for new ways to stand out. While considering that some of the greatest opportunities to create a lasting impression on a potential client in my realm (motorcycle and automotive photography) are at trade shows, or highly publicized events, sometimes all you have is one shot. But how do I set myself apart from the hundreds of other hobbyists walking the showroom floor with a DSLR, a Facebook fan page and a business card itching for work? Digital portfolios are great, but the decision for the...

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.
