Weekly Photography Challenge – Wide Opened

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt This week’s challenge is all about using a large aperture, shooting wide opened. You can see some examples of this technique using shallow depth of field here. Aperture is one side of the exposure triangle and understanding it, and truly mastering it is so important to taking your photography to the next level. This is your chance to practice. By Evan Leeson Even if you do not have a lens that has f/1.4 or even f/2.8 you can still achieve a shallow depth of field. It also has to do with distance to subject,...

30 Alluring Images with Shallow DOF

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt This week we’re going back to the basics and looking at some images that utilize a large aperture to create a narrow or shallow DOF (Depth of Field). Often called bokeh, large apertures can create that magical look of out of focus blobs (highly technical term). Here are a few images demonstrating these things to inspire you.

FAA proposes regulations for commercial drone usage

The FAA’s plan to regulate drone usage has been a long running cause of concern among enthusiasts and those hoping to use UAVs for commercial purposes. Thus far speculation has pegged the budding regulations as unnecessarily restrictive, but the new officially revealed FAA proposal shows those concerns to largely be unfounded.  The proposed regulations largely cover common sense aspects of drone operation, such as requiring the operator to avoid flying over people and to determine how risky it would be to fly a...

Olympus OM-D E-M5 II First Impressions Review updated with shooting experience

Posted by on 21st, Feb, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I plan to upgrade and trade in my E-M5 for the E-M5ii. The larger viewfinder, one stop better IBIS and the wireless “tethering” are worthwhile upgrades for me. I had considered the E-M1, but I wanted to keep the camera small as that is my main reason for choosing M43 over other formats. Also, the new video frame rates makes it much more useful for me since I live in the non-US/non-Japan part of the world and thereby have 50 Hz artificial lighting. As well as the other improvements for the casual videographer. I also like the look...

Memory Card from Stolen Camera Returned After Photographer Makes Public Appeal

Earlier this month, we reported that a North Carolina-based photographer Faith Massey had gotten her camera bag stolen from her car. Inside was a memory card that contained irreplaceable photos of the last moments of a baby’s life, which Massey captured through the charity organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. There’s a happy update to the story: the memory card has been returned, and all the precious lost photos have been recovered. After the theft, Massey went public with her story in an effort to get the photos back for the...

Apple Patent Shows Periscope-style Camera Module with Mirror Stabilization

A recent patent filing by Apple suggests that the company is working on a new periscope-style camera module design that offers better optical stabilization with the use of mirrors.AppleInsider first reported on the patent, titled “Mirror Tilt Actuation” and published this week by the USPTO.

A Laser Can Turn Off Streetlights That Interfere With Your Astrophotography

Streetlights polluting your shots of the starry night sky? A strategically placed laser might be just what you need. Destin Sandlin of the YouTube channel SmarterEveryDay recently paid a visit to the house of NASA astronaut (and photographer) Don Pettit, who showed Sandlin a trick that he uses to temporarily disable an annoying streetlight just down the street. You can see this “life hack” in action at 1:04 in the video above. We’re not sure about the legality of this trick in places around the US and the world, but here’s the...

Redoing My Home Office Space for the New Wedding Photography Season

My name is Eric Brushett, and I’m a full time wedding photographer based in Hamden, Connecticut. I recently redid my home office space for the 2015 wedding season. Here’s a look at the process and the final result. I didn’t take any photos before we put in the windows and painted, but here is the space with the old linoleum: It took 3 days of scraping to remove the old flooring. We finally got it down to the original flooring. I thought maybe I could sand these down and refinish, but I already ordered the new floors. The new...

Upload Your Photos to Multiple Social Media Websites with Expojure

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson How many social media websites do you upload photos to regularly? I have five – a Facebook page, my personal Facebook profile, Google+, Flickr and 500px. Some people have more. For photographers who want to get their work out there, this seems like a must. Yet it’s time consuming and, truth be told, an inefficient way of working. If this is you, then you’ll be interested in new photo sharing website, Expojure. A startup based in Mumbai, it lets you upload the photos you want to share to a central Expojure...
