Safety Tips for Travel Photographers (Particularly Women)

Safety Tips for Travel Photographers (Particularly Women)

A Post By: Karthika Gupta Let me first address the obvious that while this article talks about safety tips for women photographers, it does not mean that these tips don’t apply to men as well. Most are general tips that could be applied to both genders. Being a woman photographer who has started to venture out alone for photoshoots and solo photowalks, these are things that I notice and practice as I do travel photography. Solo Hiking the Appalachian Trail – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA It all started with a single trip. A...

The Magic of Thinking Big in Photography

A Post By: Eric Kim You want to be the best photographer you can. You’re constantly trying to educate yourself, improve, and take your photography to the next level. But how can you take your photography to new heights, and stand out from the crowd? The secret is thinking big. If you look at successful individuals outside of photography such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Larry Page – what do these leaders have in common? How were they able to leverage their strengths, continuously add value to the world, and become...

Sony Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA real-world samples gallery posted

Posted by on 6th, Mar, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Haha rfsIII. Folks should remember tho that telephoto focal lengths tend to have better MTF across the frame. Sonyalpharumors posted some MTF figures for the 35mm F1.4 FE lens (though I can’t seem to find them on the Sony site), & I think our rooftop shots mirror these MTF curves. The field’s incredibly uniform, even at F1.4- it’s just not really tack sharp anywhere (40 lp/mm just hovers around 55-65% across the frame). By F8, there’s some severe astigmatism, & tangential resolution fluctuates wildly, although...

World Press Photo revokes prize from Giovanni Troilo

Posted by on 6th, Mar, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I think there is more to this story. This person diliberately misrepresented that city, lied about where the shots were taken, lied about setting things in scene. Interestingly, Charleroi used to have coal mines, many italians used to work there decades ago, it wouldn’t surprise me if this Italian photographer is in some way connected to charleroi and has some deeper unresolved problems. More interestingly, I believe that pipeline above is associated with the mining. Also, he says “dark heart”, just like coal is dark. This...

Prepare to be impressed: Tamron 15-30 F2.8 vs. Nikon 14-24 F2.8

While we were at CP+ 2015 in Japan, we met with Tamron, and the company was kind enough to lend us their newly announced 15-30mm F2.8 Di VC USD. In Nikon mount, no less. Why the big deal about it being Nikon mount? Because that means we can attach it natively to the Nikon D810 – the highest-resolution DSLR currently on the market (until the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DSR show up in June).  15-30mm is a wide range for a full-frame zoom, made more impressive by the inclusion of vibration compensation (VC). The wide F2.8...

World Press Photo Strips Giovanni Troilo of His First Prize Win for Misrepresenting Photo

In a surprising turn of events, the World Press Photo organization has announced that it will be withdrawing the 1st prize award it had given photographer Giovanni Troilo for his Contemporary Issues series “The Dark Heart of Europe.” This comes one day after a new claim surfaced that accused Troilo of misrepresenting where a photo was shot. Just to rewind a bit: last month, Troilo’s photo series came under series scrutiny after the town he focused on accused him of staging his shots to paint it in a negative light. WPP...

When Life Gives You Lemons, Just Keep on Shooting

Earlier this year, I dropped my Minolta 28mm f/2.8 in the ocean where it sat submerged for at least two minutes. I don’t have any tools on hand to tear it down to clean it out. I let it sit overnight on the air conditioner. The next morning, it had drops of water all over the inside elements and the aperture blades were sticking. After making sure that no water would come out of the rear of the lens and get inside my camera body, I decided to take it out and shoot with it just as it is. I was curious to see to what degree it affects...

A Discussion About the Term ‘Shutter Speed’ Being a Misnomer That Stuck

The word “speed” is used a lot in the world of photography equipment — things like lens speed, film speed, and shutter speed. But speed is generally used to refer to how quickly something travels or operates per unit time, rather than a period of time itself. So is the term “shutter speed” a misnomer? A reader tells us that they were recently trying to explain the basic concept of shutter speed to a friend, when she suddenly realized that the term is a strange choice of words. Instead of “exposure time,” photographers...
