A Post By: Kate Hailey There is so much power in photography, as the old adage goes: A picture is worth a thousand words. Imagine if you did more than just create a photograph? Imagine if you taught a generation of people how to tell a story with a camera? Would you? I have, and find it terribly rewarding! Well perhaps not an entire generation, but I have worked with some awesome teenagers in the Seattle area. Let me just say, it’s truly wonderful to see what can happen when you work with young curious minds. I have mentored with a Seattle...
read more7 Things I’ve Learned from Photographing Storms
A Post By: James Brandon A massive supercell near Henrietta Texas in May, 2014. © James Brandon I’ve been a professional photographer for around five years now. I’ve photographed a lot of different subjects throughout the years, but nothing in the world could have prepared me for photographing storms. When I stood in front of my first supercell on May 8th of 2013, I was hooked. A low hanging wall of cloud hovered over the field in front of me as its rotation increased by the second. The 40mph winds at my back were feeding moisture and...
read more[UPDATED] CP+ 2015: First samples from the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens
Barney, for the next trade show would you be so kind and take a little styrofoam brick wall with you, so you can set it up at any distance for your test shots and properly satisfy the focus-plane-brick-wall-professionals here. 😉 Seriously now, I thought that this lens delivered some very nice shots of you, especially for being such a fairly wide WA, with very good looking bokeh. The ceiling and its corners, o well, I don’t care so much about ceilings (or brick walls). Speaking of bokeh, a shootout for WAs as well as other FLs would be a...
read moreCP+ 2015: A closer look at Canon’s forthcoming PowerShot G3X
If there will be a good EVF to clip on, hopefully one that isn’t too bulky, the camera might become a winner. That lens is incredibly compact for a 600mm equivalent zoom for a 1″ sensor; I wouldn’t have thought such a lens could be made in that size. Maybe they’re using diffractive optics? Ok, when zoomed out to give 600mm it will probably be two or three times as long as what we see here, but nevertheless… I do like the rangefinderesque design; much better than all the other bulky DSLR-style superzoom compacts....
read moreRicoh’s newest lens roadmaps show four upcoming K-mount lenses
It’s not so strange (the 11 primes), since 2 are macros, 3 are “kit-priced” lenses that are sometimes bundled with cameras, and some only work on APS-C (or at least are advertised as such). Of the four FA (FF) lenses at the bottom, two are moderately priced and two are premium. Also, Pentax is more of a prime-oriented system, once you get into it. Nikon tries to lure you in through their nice f/1.8 G primes, and Canon practically makes you you dive in kicking and screaming with their premium-priced L primes. Many Canon...
read moreCP+ 2015: Hands on with Sigma’s new 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens
I am very impressed with the Sigma Art series. In my opinion they also represent excellent value. I expect that my next camera purchase (If the specs fit the requirement) will be the Nikon D5. …… When rumor turns to fact. The Sigma Art Primes will be on the same docket. BTW Just before a few of the uneducated (Minority) m43 brigade start their bagging: I also own a GH4 and an OMD-EM5 + Oly pro lenses and there is no question, … they are also superb cameras that have their place. Cheers and good shooting, ….. Baz...
read moreCP+ 2015: Canon shows 11-24mm in cross-section
Canon’s new 11-24mm F4 is attracting a lot of attention at this year’s CP+ show in Yokohama, but away from the crows of keen enthusiasts waiting to get their hands on samples, we found a very much non-working example, cut in half showing its internal construction. The first thing that is striking about the internal construction of the 11-24mm is just how dense it is. There’s hardly a spare millimeter of air anywhere inside this complex multi-element zoom. The front element of the 11-24mm is massive, at...
read morePhotographer Spends Years Creating New ‘Historical’ Photos of Old Warships
Danish photographer Thomas Bangsted sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from “spray and pray†photography. The Brooklyn-based artist often spends months or years completing individual pictures through researching, traveling, shooting, and post-processing. The 7-minute video above offers a glimpse into how Bangsted creates his art. One of his big projects in recent years is a series of faux historical photos showing battleships from old wars. Each image is actually a composite photo of multiple layers that required enormous...

Lynsey Addario is a 41-year-old photojournalist who has taken her camera into virtually ever major theater of war in the 21st century. She has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur, the Congo, Haiti, and Libya (she was one of the four NYTimes journalist kidnapped in Libya in 2011). In addition to documenting wars for the world to see, Addario is passionate about human rights and the topic of women’s roles in traditional societies. The photographer has just published a new memoir about her life and work, titled “It’s What...
read moreThis is a 10K Time-Lapse Video Created Using 80MP Still Photographs
Want to see what a 10K time-lapse video looks like? Look no further than the video above. Titled “10328×7760: A 10K Timelapse Demo,†it was created by Los Angeles-based photographer Joe Capra, a guy who specializes in ultra-high-definition time-lapse photography. If you don’t have a 10K display handy, don’t worry: the video zooms in to show you the level of quality the video has. Capra shot a total of 5 different scenes in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil using a PhaseOne IQ180 digital camera back to capture 80 megapixel photos. Each of...
read moreExperiment Shows What Happens When You Repost a Photo to Instagram 90 Times
Every time you post a photo to Instagram, it loses a tiny bit of quality. It’s not really noticeable for a single upload, but if you save and repost the photo over and over, the quality loss becomes extreme. It’s a concept known as “generation loss,†and is the subject of artist Pete Ashton‘s project “I Am Sitting In Stagram (2015).†The experiment is a variation on composer Alvin Lucier’s “I Am Sitting in a Room†experiment in which Lucier recorded himself talking and then rerecorded the recording over and over...
read moreCanon 5DS Promo Mugs Poke Fun at the Nikon D800 and Its ‘Small’ 36MP Sensor
Canon is apparently promoting its new 5DS DSLR with a pair of mugs that poke fun at Nikon. There’s a big mug that has EOS 5DS printed across the front, while a smaller companion mug features the text “I AM SMALL†with the design used by Nikon’s I AM ad campaigns. The back of the mugs say “50.6 megapixels†and “36.0 megapixels,†respectively. Interestingly enough, the ratio of the size of the lenses appears to be 50.6:36. The mugs are a reference to the fact that Canon has now introduced super-high-resolution 50.6MP full...

read moreBlue Water Macro Photography
By Joseph Tepper  When many underwater photographers delve into macro photography, the instinct is to use the smallest possible apertures to bring out the most detail in the subject with the most depth of field. Such an approach means very little (or no) natural light hits the camera sensor, so that only what the strobe hits is exposed. The result is the macro subject starkly situated in front of a black background.  While this black background can be a pleasing way to make the...
read moreDepth of Field and the Importance Distance to Subject Plays
A Post By: Al Jurina Let’s say that perhaps you’ve been taking photos for a while now. You’ve gotten yourself a good DSLR camera and have recognized that the standard 18-55mm kit lens that comes with your camera is nice, but just doesn’t give you the shots that you are looking for. So you plunk down your money on the ever-popular 50mm f/1.8 prime lens that everybody is talking about, mount in on your camera, change your aperture to its widest (f/1.8) setting and start shooting. You spend all day shooting with this wonderful little...
read morePhoto Journaling Can Help you Become a Better Photographer
A Post By: Monica Day Let’s face it, photographers are artists. We love creating works of art in our photography. We love to express ourselves with our camera. We create photographs based on what our mind sees. You can take five different photographers with the same setting or model and get five completely different photographs. We are artists and photograph in our own unique ways. It’s important for us to continue to learn and grown and keeping a journal is an amazing way to do that. Your photo journal will serve two purposes. The first...

We’re at the CP+ show in Yokohama Japan, where Sigma is showing its brand new 24mm f1.4 full-frame prime lens. The latest in the company’s ‘Art’ series of fast primes, we have high hopes for the new lens based on our extremely positive impressions of the 35mm and 50mm lenses which have come before it. Sigma very kindly let us shoot some sample images on a late pre-production lens and it does indeed look very, very nice. Take a look at our initial gallery of samples Note that these samples were shot...

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.
