Review: slingShot DSLR Remote Control App

A Post By: Suzi Pratt One of the great advantages of smartphone technology is the way that it makes photography more convenient. I’m not just talking about using the camera that came with your phone. There are now smartphone apps coming out that allow you to connect with, and even control, your DSLR camera. One of these apps is the brand new slingShot DSLR Remote Control, which just came to the Google Play Android market on January 25, 2015. Using this app makes it possible to adjust the settings on your camera, see what the camera sees...

6 Eye-Catching Photos and How They Can Help You Improve Your Photography

A Post By: Lauren Lim Each photographer has their own way of approaching a scene, choosing which settings on their camera will best reflect their vision, and then crafting the final image. You get to make this series of decisions each time you take a photo, and it’s a highly personal experience. But you can still learn a lot by going behind the scenes of a photo, and hearing how the photographer made their own decisions. Whether you pick up a new tip for creating an interesting effect, a new way of looking at a scene, or simply the...

Real-world test: the Sony a6000 goes surfing with Chris Burkard

Posted by on 18th, Feb, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

There is actually very little between DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras, especially when you switch to live view mode on a DSLR. Mirrorless tends to be packing way more smarts into their devices, and on sensor auto focussing, across the whole frame, is surely where we’re headed. I can’t see a reason why this couldn’t be added to a DSLR for the best of both worlds, for those who want to remain in DSLR land. Clearly any notions of ‘it’s lighter and smaller’ is irrelevant when you go and slap a big lens on...

Lens tests require staying at/near base ISO, so 1/30 was the best I could do, and even that was with a bit of negative EC. It was one of only a couple times that I saw genuinely good light for a portrait, without just taking a default one because I had to check off the box. Also, the subject isn’t very fond of having his photograph taken, I had to convince him for this one. I do see why it’s problematic, but I also see that the shot in question is still usable. It may not be an ideal shot to check for maximum sharpness, but it...

Use This Lightroom ‘Secret Slider’ Trick for Extreme Shadow Recovery

Retoucher Matt Kloskowski offers this quick and easy Lightroom tip for your mental library: if you ever find yourself with a drastically underexposed photograph, you can use a “secret shadow slider” in Lightroom to try and recover an extreme amount of detail. Kloskowski writes that Lightroom 5 did away with the “Fill Light” slider that previously existed and replaced it with a less powerful “Shadow” slider. If you want to use extreme recovery of the old slider, there’s a way to do that. Simply choose the older 2010...

This ‘Flow Motion’ Time-Lapse of Dubai is Insane

Time-lapse photographer Rob Whitworth has taken the idea of hyperlapses to the next level with his latest video, “Dubai Flow Motion” (shown above). It offers a tour of Dubai through the lens of Whitworth’s camera as it does seemingly impossible zooms through various perspectives, from the ground, into an airplane, to the top of the tallest building in the world, and then down to the bottom through the floors. “I think I might be the first person to hyperlapse vertically down through a building, and the world’s tallest at...

FAA Unveils Its Rules for Commercial Drone Usage

The FAA has confirmed a leak that emerged this past weekend by officially unveiling its proposed set of rules governing commercial drone flights. The guidelines are more lax than many people feared, and they represent a huge step toward the legalization of commercial drone flights — including for aerial photography purposes. In a press release published yesterday, the FAA says the new regulations, drafted for the commercial usage of drones weighing less than 55 pounds, will “facilitate integration of small UAS [Unmanned Aircraft...
