read moreHow to Take Better Action Photos
A Post By: Michael Coppola There are many sports photographers. We generally hear about those who specialize in a specific genre of sports photography like motorsport, tennis, golf, or surfing. If you are just starting out and want to gain some experience and build a portfolio, what can you do to take better action shots? What separates a true sports photographer from an amateur? A sports photographer will get the shot they want as they see it, of the action they need to report on, every time. Their ability to pick the correct exposure,...
read moreUsing the Lightroom Adjustment Brush to add Dimension to a Landscape Photo
A Post By: Scott Wyden Kivowitz Lightroom has the power to completely transform your landscape photograph into something far more powerful, something that hits home with viewers, and something that pops off the screen. By default digital cameras create flatter image files than what you see with your eye. Your eye has the ability to see dimensions like no camera can really capture. Although many try. What is Dimension? The definition of dimension is: an aspect or feature of a situation, problem, or thing. When utilizing the word dimension in...

Connect smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance and image quality. Introduction The Sony Xperia Z3 is the successor to the Xperia Z2 but – given Sony’s very fast 6(ish) month product innovation cycle this is no surprise – is in terms of both camera specification and design more of an evolutionary update rather than a major overhaul. The Z3’s 5.2-inch 1080p Sony Triluminous display is the same size and resolution as its predecessor...

An American startup is promising to bring a full-frame digital rangefinder camera to market for early 2016. The Konost FF will be a 20MP metal bodied M-mount camera equipped with a 4″ LCD. The company has said that the rangefinder system will operate not with mirrors and prisms, as most rangefinders do, but with twin imaging sensors that overlay their images to produce the same dual image effect in the viewfinder. While details are limited at the moment, Konost has stated it will use the Belgian CMV20000 sensor from...
read moreHistoric prints from the beginning of photography to go on auction in London
These are more important as visual documentation of a time and place. It’s not always about how pretty it looks, or how well they composed/exposed the image. Sometimes(all to infrequently, if you ask me) it’s about content. Artistic photography is a luxury afforded by our familiarity with the concept, and the ease with which we can now create photographs. The first photographers were not artists, they were anthropologists, historians, scientists… Their photos furthered their work, they weren’t the work itself. Source...
read moreARRI announces the ALEXA Mini, a lightweight carbon fiber cinema camera with 4K output
We don’t normally write about thirty-thousand-dollar cinema cameras, but the ARRI ALEXA Mini (announced this morning) caught our eye. This digital motion picture camera packs a whole lot of firepower into a super compact, carbon-fiber body. The specs also foreshadow what we might expect in future consumer-level cameras, in terms of video capabilities. At its core is a Super 35mm format ARRI ALEV III CMOS sensor with Bayer pattern color filter array. ARRI claims it is capable of 14+ stops of sensitivity when shooting...

Back in 2008, the team over at Advancing Your Photography were invited to an exclusive gallery tour of Annie Leibovitz’s best photographs — an event led by Leibovitz herself. Those in attendance were treated to the photographer sharing about her life and work, and the intersection of those two worlds. Luckily for the rest of us, they brought along some cameras and recorded what Leibovitz had to share. They just finished publishing the videos as a three-part series: The exhibition was titled “Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s...

Here’s a humorous video showing how the Home Shopping Network tried to sell a Canon Rebel T3i package on TV back in 2012. They do get some facts about the camera and photography right, but other statements they make may cause you to chuckle (or shake your head in disbelief). Here are some of the amazing quotes found in the video: “It is [Canon’s] flagship.†“What you have going to work for you in this particular camera is going to be the ‘Canon trinity’: it’s about the sensor, it’s about the lens, and it’s about...

The world of photojournalism took a hit earlier this month when it was revealed that 20% of the finalists in the prestigious World Press Photo competition had been disqualified due to unethical edits. The National Press Photographers Association released a statement this past weekend calling for the disqualified photographers to share the edits that eliminated them from competition. The disqualified photographers were informed in a confidential email by WPP that their images had been deemed ineligible. As a result of this...

Photographer Stu Maschwitz of Prolost recently paid a visit to the Bay Area Lightroom User Group and tried something he’s always wanted to do: Lightroom Iron Chef. He took 29 audience-submitted photographs and post-processed them in Lightroom in front of a live audience of more than 100 people, all while providing a running commentary of what he’s doing and why. The whole thing was recorded in the 1.5-hour video above. Here’s how our friend Jeffrey Friedl describes it: There are some amazing transformations, but whether a...

If you’ve always dreamed of taking pictures of the northern lights, the video above will give you a small taste of what it’s like. Swedish astrophotographer Göran Strand captured the behind-the-scenes footage recently when he drove out into the wilderness in the dead of night to chase auroras. In addition to time-lapse clips of his journey, the video also shows real time footage of Strand standing under the green shimmering lights hovering overhead. Strand says that on this particular night, he left home at around midnight and...

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich Writer Bruce Wunderlich with Tamron 150-600mm on his Nikon D7100 in Le Claire, Iowa. Photo by: J. Todd Poling One of my favorite subjects to photograph is wildlife. In the past, great wildlife images were very difficult for me to shoot because my close presence usually meant disturbing the wild creature I had my eye on. I began looking for a longer lens with plenty of reach that wasn’t going to break my piggy bank. So, after much patient and thorough research, I purchased the Tamron 150-600mm SP F/5-6.3 Di...
read moreHow to Make an Architecture Space Look and Feel Natural in a Photo
A Post By: Natalia Robert The New Age of Architectural Photography Gone are days of interior photos looking like furniture showrooms. So, too, are the days of exterior photos being full of uplighting accents and HDR effects. Today, architectural photography is all about lifestyle. The appeal of luxury has shifted away from the material luxury and flashy spaces of high society to an intangible luxury that transpires during quiet moments with loved ones. It’s more about quality of life than quality of goods. When shooting interiors, your goal...

read morePanasonic introduces Lumix G 30mm macro and new 42.5mm portrait prime
Panasonic has announced two new additions to its Micro Four Thirds lens lineup, a 30mm F2.8 macro and 42.5mm F1.7 portrait lens. The company had previously hinted that the 30mm was in the works, and as promised offers the new lens offers Mega O.I.S optical stabilization along with 240 fps drive AF. The 42.5mm F1.7 isn’t quite as fast (or presumably as expensive) as the existing Leica Nocticron 42.5mm F1.2. It does offer Power O.I.S. stabilization and is also compatible with 240 fps drive AF. It will be offered 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.
